Every great world is born from great references. Ethernia is no exception.

From the very beginning, Ethernia was built as a love letter to the games and universes that marked generations of players. With a dark, melancholic tone, yet filled with possibilities for adventure and discovery, the game carries in its DNA several creative pillars.

🧙‍♂️ Tibia [The Foundation of Nostalgia]
The open world, mysterious atmosphere, hidden dungeons, and focus on free exploration were heavily inspired by Tibia. Just like CipSoft’s classic, Ethernia invites players to literally lose themselves in caves, cities, and secrets — where every step might hide danger… or treasure.

⚔️ Dungeons & Dragons [The Strategic Soul]
Our attribute system, turn-based tactical actions in certain situations, and the universe of races, guilds, and magic were all influenced by the rich legacy of Dungeons & Dragons. The idea that the player writes their own story through strategic decisions is central to Ethernia.

🛡️ Ragnarok Online [Builds, PvP, and Unique Styles]
Ethernia’s wide variety of builds, hybrid classes, and competitive PvP draw directly from Ragnarok’s influence. The anime-pixel aesthetic, combined with the freedom to craft truly unique characters, creates a visual and mechanical identity that RO fans will instantly recognize and feel at home with.

📱 Warspear Online [Mobile, Hardcore, and Community]
For those who enjoyed Warspear, Ethernia offers a similar old-school MMO feel — with slow but rewarding progression, plus real-time PvP and PvE events. The strong emphasis on community and clans also follows this heritage.

🎨 Animated + Dark Pixel Art
Visually, Ethernia blends the charm of animated pixel art with the dark, melancholic palette of games like Dark Souls and Blasphemous, applying it to creatures, ruins, and bosses. The aesthetic was designed to reinforce the sense of magical decay permeating the world.

Ethernia doesn’t aim to be just another MMO — it seeks to revive the essence of classic RPGs while fusing it with modern execution, original ideas, and a rich narrative. The influences are clear, but the result is a new universe: deep, atmospheric, and crafted with soul.
