Akarra is back, in your browser
The servers have been quiet since 2005. They are not any more — and this time there is nothing to install.
Akarra is open again. No download, no launcher, no patcher — it runs in the tab you are reading this in, and it is free.
What is waiting for you
The world you remember, unchanged. Four thousand areas of forest, road, coast and farmland with two cave systems underneath, all of it walked across. 197 kinds of thing living in it. 464 items to take off them. 45 quests, 33 skills, and everyone in town holding something they want doing.
Hope is where you start. Talk to the people standing in it before you leave.
What is different
You play in a browser. That is the whole change to how you get in.
The rest is quality of life: your account is properly protected, a blip in your connection no longer throws you out of the world, your progress saves on its own, the window resizes, and every key can be rebound. None of it touches how a fight goes.
What is not here
No music — there never was any. No phone or tablet version yet. No shop, no subscription and nothing to buy, now or later.
