📜 Hear ye, hear ye — Children of Agon!

Since the turning of the new year, I have labored in the shadows to breathe life once more into the ancient 32-bit realm.

It was no small battle. First, awakening the long-silent servers of old. Then unraveling how the pieces once fit together. And last night… victory.

For the first time in many years, we made a successful connection to the game itself — with Neil standing watch, offering guidance and turning every obstacle into a lesson.

And then… it happened.

The loading screen. The spinning sigil. The familiar splat of the login sound.

And there it was — Agon, alive once more.

🏰 The current state of the realm

As of now, a server is running. How stable it is, or how it will endure the storms to come — that remains to be seen. But it stands.

⚔️ Important proclamations

  • The game will NOT run through Steam • The world will be wiped before opening to the public • Before the gates fully open, we will hold two smaller test phases • Entry numbers are yet unknown • These tests will help us measure stability and make final tweaks

🌍 What to expect when the gates open

  • Legacy version (or one of the final legacy patches) • A full wipe — all shall begin anew • Legacy-rate skill gains (fast leveling) • A fresh start for all brave souls

The road ahead still holds work, but the hardest step has been taken. Agon breathes again — and soon, it shall echo with footsteps.

More news will follow as the banners are prepared.
