Our Vision

Eteria is being developed with long term planning, not shortcuts. We focus on thoughtful innovation that respects the classic identity of the game.

• Classic gameplay with meaningful modern upgrades
• A stable and fair environment at all times
• Content that grows steadily instead of overwhelming players
• A major PvP overhaul planned for the future, designed to keep the classic style while improving skill expression, clarity and competitive depth

Until the PvP overhaul is ready, we continue improving balance, fixing issues and polishing the current systems.

Gameplay Philosophy

Eteria follows a classic first approach. The core experience stays recognizable, but it comes with better structure, cleaner systems and a seasonal model that keeps the game active without flooding it with content.

Season One Key Points

• Level cap: 105
• Dungeons: 8 to 9 available at launch
• PvM equipment: some items have 2 evolution tiers, plus elemental item sets for better progression variety
• PvP equipment: mostly 2 evolution tiers, with a few items having 3 tiers, and easier acquisition to keep competition accessible
• Numerous quality of life changes and new side activities

This focused start allows us to maintain balance, stability and a polished experience from day one.

Season Structure

Seasons are the foundation of Eteria. They define progression, pacing and content delivery.

• Each season lasts 3 to 4 months
• Season One is intentionally lean
• Future seasons expand based on player activity and progression data
• Every season brings system improvements, new features and updates
• Pre season previews will be shared to build momentum
• Season end dates are announced one month in advance

The seasonal model allows the game to evolve without losing its classic core.

Update Cadence and Maintenance

Transparency and consistency are important to us.

• Major updates arrive at the start of each season
• Mid season updates focus on urgent fixes and quality of life adjustments
• Weekly maintenance windows keep performance stable
• Every patch comes with a clear and detailed changelog

Technical Improvements

A significant amount of work has gone into improving performance, security and long term stability.

Completed upgrades include:

• Server architecture upgraded to x86_64
• Operating system migrated from FreeBSD to Linux
• Event layer changed from kqueue to io_uring
• Implementation of a headless client for large scale simulations
• Migration from the legacy SQL API to a newer optimized version
• Database connector switched from MySQL to MariaDB
• New packet system for both client and server
• Replacement of the old event system with a modern API
• Login system rewritten for faster and more reliable authentication

Current tech stack: C++23, Clang, CMake and SkylakeLib
