-##3 === ABOUT Aethyra ===
+##3 === ABOUT THE MANA WORLD ===
- ##2Aethyra (Ae)##P Aethyra is a 2D MMORPG, using the eAthena server
- (an open-source clone of the commercial Ragnarok Online server). It
- features expanding lands and community-made graphics, making for a
- fun, free, open source community project.
-
- ##PAethyra started out as "The Mana Experiment," an experimental
- test-server for community-developed content designed for The Mana
- World which was put into action by Blame, Sanga, and Sertaline.
- ##PSoon thereafter, it became evident that it was taking far too
- long for the elitist development team at The Mana World to
- implement good tested-content. They made excuses and treated the
- long-awaited custom server TMWServ as the answer to all the problems,
- and left the eAthena server (which The Mana World still runs on)
- to rot. Many development team members lost interest in helping, and
- the programmers forsook the eAthena server saying that it would
- simply delay TMWServ progress for months to fix the simplest of
- errors. In response to this, The Mana Experiment became a fork
- project, and an official game server.
- ##PTime passed, and more and more content was tested and implemented.
- Soon, discussion began for a name. Aethyra was chosen, and the Game
- you see now was setup. Content development has never been better, and
- the staff never more motivated! Stay on the lookout for more exciting
- Aethyra developments!
-
-##3 === Aethyra's Goal ===
-
- ##PAethyra is a community driven experiment that utilizes eAthena at
- its core with the end goal of getting its players as involved in the
- process as much as possible. It's originally forked from The Mana
- World when its developers came up with the idea of "Why should we
- have to wait for an MMORPG game in development when we've already got
- a great server setup here that does everything we've been promised
- and more?" ##P As such, we are trying to implement as many functions
- of eAthena as possible while creating our own in the process based
- on what our players want to see.
+ ##2The Mana World (TMW)##P is a serious effort to create an innovative free
+ and open source MMORPG. TMW uses 2D graphics and aims to create a
+ large and diverse interactive world. It is licensed under the GPL,
+ making sure this game can't ever run away from you.
+
+ The project includes the development of both a client and a server,
+ as well as the development of an online world. At the moment we're
+ making alpha releases of the client, while our server is in early
+ development. The eAthena free software Ragnarok Online server is used
+ until our own server has matured enough to replace it. Once ready,
+ we'll be making releases of our server too so anybody will be free to
+ set up their own server and start building their own online world.
