If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post on the forums or contact us.

Hello folks! Just wanted to inform you of the ongoing site redesign efforts (that have recently picked up pace again). The first thing on the agenda is the game, world and player info sections-- not the sections mentioned in previous announcements.
Further, an account creation system will be put into place within the next month. This will allow you to directly connect to the OOC area of Arqueth-- the game area is still restricted to beta testers only, but this should give you a flavour of what's to come. The OOC area is an informal place to meet and chat with Arqueth's developers, the community and play around with some of the toys the GMs are testing out in the area before implimentation.

"Despite years of tempestuous battle fought across the depth and width of Altharan, rich life fills the air. Her ancient soils have been shaped by the acts and devastating follies of her many tribes. Violent wars, sweeping conquests and years graced with peace have formed a flourishing culture, defined hard won traditions and encouraged exotic trade.

Crumbling mossy ruins paint the hills and flatlands, intangible blessings of long dead saints linger on and touch the hearts of every man. From the rough highlands of the north to the vast deserts of the south, triumphant monuments of civilzation survive as testament to this past. Ours is a land shaped by the deeds of great people. Wherever one looks, the vibrant thrum of life inescapable flavors the air."

-Ibrahim al Wasif, the Land of Wealth: Translated Passages from "A History of Altharan"

This is the land of Altharan, this is the world of Arqueth.

Arqueth is a multi-user role playing game with a primary focus on individual actions shaping the adventurer. Unlike other online RPGs that focus on strictly defined training experience systems and predefined groups, Arqueth allows the player to create a character and shape their growth and direct their interaction as far as they can imagine. Whether striving to become a warrior of great renown, a politician with power over Kings, a bumbling mystic healer with great heart and no skills, or a happy go lucky cook at a popular inn--you hold the key.

Arqueth is a new world ready to be explored and what it becomes is up to you.

It is your world.
