We are very sorry about the downtime lately. The server is in an alpha stage and many new source code changes have been added that need to be analyzed and fixed which can unfortunately take hours of downtime due to problems arising. We appreciate everybody who was patient in this matter and supportive. However, unfortunately we have had to also ban some players who were not patient and were very rude and disruptive on our forums and the server. We will not tolerate that kind of behavior in any way shape or form.

Spreading rumors that we are a pay to win server is absolutely one-sided and false to the core. The tier sytem is very balanced and not OP and the custom donator items can BE EARNED inside the game by anybody with heroic points. Players who donated towards the server do it out of their hearts and kindness and are rewarded in kind. This is a process of volunteering not something that is to be taken as a mandatory element.

Players of all kinds can progress on Varlyndria: Ascension but they cannot do all content by themselves. This is an MMORPG server and that means we want players grouping up and making friends. We have solo content and more will be coming as well. The server is not unfriendly to a soloer but don't expect to get everything in raids as a soloer either.

If I wanted to make this 100% pay to win which is absurd and something I will never do, I would of made it where you could not have EVER get your hands on items made by other players. Other players reward everybody with new and cool items to use. If you wish to complain that you can't get these items solo and claim it's pay to win you need to find some friends and a guild to tackle the content with. Not everything is solo on Varlyndria: Ascension. Once you can accept that you'll understand that content is not designed for donators but more-so a group of players.

Thank you for playing and expect a lot of new content soon for soloers, questers, raiders and crafters.

The new bazaar has been canceled sadly.

As much as we wanted to get these awesome new changes in they are currently causing too many issues with server stability so we have decided to revert the bazaar changes completely for now. This bazaar might make a come-back later on but for now it has been removed.

Bazaar is back in business with the buyer/seller system.

Lecht, since I know one does not simply get frustrated and leave forever... the change you made to attack with swarm pets was crashing the server with the try/catch. C++ doesn't work that way with try/catch in functions.

Server is online (for now)

Thank you very much Secrets for your help in getting this fixed up. The server came down for a quick restart and is back up now. I will be adding in the following content within the next couple of weeks:

PR 6, 7, and 8 Normal zones
Custom Crafting Recipes for Tailoring and Blacksmithing
Custom Mats for the new Recipes


Varlyndria's Progression will become Normal Zone -> Crafting -> Raid on most power ranks. The normal zone loot, mats and crafting gear will all be tradeable to other players. Crafting gear will be stronger than normal zone gear but weaker than raid gear. Full crafted will be a good way to get into a raid easier.
