I guess it's been something like 20 years, but 2024 was a game-changing year for the MMORPG market. And I'm really excited that, once again, I can find myself excited to jump into a new, immersive game built with heart and passion that understands what fantasy nerds want.
A little bit about myself, I'm a software engineer & creative director. I'm an American and Peruvian national, having lived across the U.S., Mexico, and South Korea. These past years I have been on a sabbatical. I've traveled all around South America, Asia, and Europe in the past year and a half learning about myself and different perspectives. Lately, I'm spending a lot of my time building, working on a personal passion project of mine that I hope will, that I hope can bring strength and peace to people that use it.
Now, while we're all here, Ashes of Creation... I've been looking in on development for a while now. I've tried to keep some distance because I've been a part of a game's development that had some similarities to this game. That game was called EverQuest Next. It was an MMORPG with a lot of promise, and in the end, it burned us all by dissolving into nothing. So, for a long time, I wasn't sure if Ashes of Creation was going to follow the same path, butI can say confidently now that Ashes of Creation has come much farther than EverQuest Next ever did. And while I think it's important that we all acknowledge the complexity of game development, the complexity of this project, and the cost, both financially and mentally, that it takes to execute something of this quality and magnitude, at this point, I feel like I can take one step closer towards allowing myself to trust in what I'm seeing.
So, in the end, this is a hello to my new friends and family, and also a support post. I want to shout out Intrepid for being brave enough to make a game that has a heart. And for communicating openly, honestly, and transparently in a world that thrives off of destruction. This team and this product feel like more than just a good game, but a chance for people who believe in integrity and passion to fuel their fire and create more things in their life with the same spirit. I also want to thank other studios like Larian, which recently released Baldur's Gate 3, and whoever the hell green lit World of Warcraft Vanilla hardcore mode, because we are seeing this sort of old-school gamer mentality rising across the RPG and MMO space.
You guys will see me posting here quite a bit, I happen to have a lot of opinions about games, especially MMORPGs. This is also a friendly advisory that I have a lot of passionate opinions. I believe that we all have a voice, that we should all use our voice to express what we think and believe, in a respectful and collaborative manner. And because of what I've seen so far from Intrepid, I think that my passion for building worlds and building systems with integrity can be helpful in guiding this game into a place where both Intrepid and its players can find great success!
See you guys in game and across the boards. Feel free to friend request me.

I’ve been deep in the world of MMOs for years, coming from Albion Online, World of Warcraft, ArcheAge, and Black Desert. Now, I’m here in Ashes of Creation to build, conquer, and forge a legacy.
I’m particularly excited about the dynamic node system and large-scale PvP battles, where strategy and player-driven politics will shape the world. I’ll be leading Barcode, a guild focused on power, precision, and dominance—we’re here to stay.
Looking forward to meeting fellow adventurers, allies, and rivals alike. See you on the battlefield! ⚔️🔥

Merci de votre accueil et bonne Alpha !
I'm Snorry, 40 year old French guy in the MMO genre since 99 and the Everquest era (Morell Thule Server, guild Aurore if any vet is here too, send an PM and say hello ! )
Just arrived in Alpha 2 and really happy to be there.
Being an early backer, my hopes are really high for AoC and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this game.
Let's make it awesome together !
See you ingame
My name is Aventor (Basti) and I'm very new to all this but very intrigued. Let's join the party.
My name is Nastya, and in the game I go by NastikPro (not to be confused with NastikNoob — she’s from another server 😄). I’ve been a huge fan of Ashes of Creation for 5 years now, and honestly, I’m waiting for the localization more than I wait for my morning coffee.
I’m a hardcore PvE rat 🐀: while you’re busy smashing each other in the arenas, I’m out there mining ore, farming mobs, crafting gear, and gently growing carrots. Someone’s gotta feed you and gear you up, right?
I truly believe that in AoC everyone will find their place — whether it’s a profession, a race, or a playstyle — everything will have its own unique value and won’t lose its worth over time. That includes resources too!
And I believe AoC will be a bot- and cheat-free zone — only real players and fair gameplay.
I have so much faith in this game, and most of all, that faith comes from Steven Sharif. Unlike many other game creators, he’s a real gamer himself — someone who truly understands what a game needs and genuinely loves what he’s building.
Looking forward to meeting you in the world of Ashes!
Spoiler: I’ll be the one who hoards every resource and carries everything “just in case” 😉
Perennial noob, buys games as tickets to other worlds to travel in.
This will be no exception.
I'm that guy Leroy Jenkins stepped out of the way for.
I also invented the term "Surprise MotherF*****".
Top Keks all around, see you in the game!

I've only created characters so far and not actually played
Videnta - Empyrian Mage:
'The seer' - a mage who is really really good at strategic thinking and probability reading, and given enough information can anticipate many things that others don't see. One such thing is a possible future in which everyone has withdrawn into their own little world, until all is vulnerable to the darkest void.
And so, she seeks to open an adventurer's guild, where people register, guilds and persons request missions to be done, and the adventurers do them. She has gathered helpers from the other races, as she's Empyrean, of course she will run the world's foremost adventuring organization.
Osvidentus - Vaelune Bard:
'The mouth of the seer' - a Bard, who will run the adventurer's guild from a tavern. He's a bit big and boisterous.
Also leads a group of informants, who gather information from the various corners of existence, which he relates to Videnta.
Umbravatis - Kaelar Rogue:
'The shadow of the seer' - a lead informant within the underworld
Stultuvatin - Vek Cleric:
'Simp of the Seer' or 'Foolish fortune teller' - a Cleric whose independent leadings of the spirit have aligned with Vident's predictions, and he is convinced that she is a true Seer.
Iravatis - Dunir Fighter:
"Anger of the Seer" - a fighter who is kind at heart, but also really enjoys causing damage by hitting things. Will double as a bouncer and trainer in the adventurer's guild.
I've created the characters, but if there are others who want to join in the story, that' would be good, I can even release some characters if someone wants that role.
Now to actually play and see how well it fits and what is doable
