A bit of history

AresRPG first came up to the world in 2013 under the name EclozionMMORPG from the idea of @StoneBloodTV and @Sceat, later on the team splitted due to an internal lack of organization and AresRPG as you know it flew on its own.

Fully written in Java by @DarkPingoo and @Sceat, the project released a test version called the tutorial, quite successful and enjoyed by the community it kept going, the team grew bigger with @DeltaEvo, @unixfox and many more that you can still find in the community these days.

The v1

The gameplay was quite simple, find mobs and kill them, buy the stuff rince and repeat.

4 classes were available:

• Barbarian
• Archer
• Vampire
• Mage

There was duels, exchanges, spells, skill points, teleportation stone, boss fights team loot, etc..

The world was working though a floor system, when you complete a floor you go to the next one. This version made AresRPG quite famous

The v2

The V2 is an unreleased version of AresRPG, the goal of this version was to have a procedural open-world instead of a floor system and more classes than the v1, with an overall gameplay upgrade.
