<div>'''[[History|1994 - 1997]]''' <br />
<br />
'''<big>A</big>staria''' began its journey with an LP-Code base and a T1 internet connection housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help develop the psion powers.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest-level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the realm had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players from the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata. The two were joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected then re-geared (yet at diminished levels). But, really though, the event stopped when other players tired of dying and abstained from entering Sable. This early event shaped the direction of the thieves' guild moving toward A2.<br />

The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differeing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help develop the psion powers.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the realm had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players from the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata. The two were joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected then re-geared (yet at diminished levels).

<div>'''[[History|1994 - 1997]]''' <br />
<br />
'''<big>A</big>staria''' began its journey with an LP-Code base and a T1 internet connection housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differeing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help develop the psion powers.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the realm had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players from the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata. The two were joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected then re-geared (yet at diminished levels). But, really though, the event stopped when other players tired of dying and abstained from entering Sable. This early event shaped the direction of the thieves guild moving toward A2.<br />

<div>'''[[History|1994 - 1997]]''' <br />
<br />
'''<big>A</big>staria''' began its journey with an LP-Code base and a T1 internet connection housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differeing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help develop the psion powers.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the realm had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players from the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata. The two were joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected then re-geared (yet at diminished levels). But, really though, the event stopped when other players tired of dying and abstained from entering Sable. This early event shaped the direction of the thieves guild moving toward A2.<br />

<div>'''[[History|1994 - 1997]]''' <br />
<br />
'''<big>A</big>staria''' began its journey with an LP-Code base and a T1 internet connection housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differeing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help develop the psion powers.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the game had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players in the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata. The two were joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected then re-geared (yet at diminished levels). But, really though, the event stopped when other players tired of dying and abstained from entering Sable. This early event shaped the direction of the thieves guild moving toward A2.<br />

<div>'''[[History|1994 - 1997]]''' <br />
<br />
'''<big>A</big>staria''' began its journey with an LP-Code base and a T1 internet connection housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differeing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help develop the psion powers.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the game had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players in the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata. The two were joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected then re-geared (yet at diminished levels). But, really though, the event stopped when other players tired of dying and abstained from entering Sable. This early event shaped the direction of the thieves guild moving toward A2.<br />

<div>'''[[History|1994 - 1997]]''' <br />
<br />
'''<big>A</big>staria''' began its journey with an LP-Code base and a T1 internet connection housed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The connection allowed the MUD to persist for up to a week before reboots, differeing from many MUDS at the time that rebooted within a few days to maintain stability. <br />
<br />
'''Early Realm''' <br />
<br />
Three major continents opened Astaria: Astaria itself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 (late 1994 and early 1995), but those numbers grew to 40+ players logged on as Astaria gained popularity for its community as well as its world that felt both familiar yet unique. Toward the end of 1996, the player-base ballooned even higher.<br />
<br />
The MUD opened with a number of guilds: cleric, fighter, mage, psion and thief, though many of the guilds were still being developed through A1; power sets were incomplete, and staff solicited suggestions and feedback from the earliest players. <br />
----'''First Guilds'''<br />
<br />
Among the guilds, many players joined the fighters early. Thieves and psions were hidden in the continent of Sable. Psions in particular obtained few members due to the difficult nature of finding the guild and the novelty with its guild identity. <br />
<br />
By reaching out to Aquila, the earliest psions organized a meeting to discuss the direction of the guild in regards to its hidden nature and their available powers. Variax, an early Wizard, attended as a representative of the staff, and Arashi was eventually assigned as a coder to help build-out the guild.<br />
<br />
Only thieves and mages had realm-wide poses, which were considered guild abilities at the time. Upon suggestions from players in the fighter's guild, the pose feature extended to the fighters and soon to all guilds. Able to take on the highest level monsters as well as teleport, mages established themselves as one of the more complete guilds. Thieves with their dodge, backstab, and gag abilities, then psions with their 18th level 'pain' power and the ability to stun monsters and self-heal soon followed. Fighters and clerics, both without reliable ways of diminishing monster damage, fell behind the power scale.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of A1, a few players were either invited to or applied to beta test the bard's guild.<br />
----'''Thief Takeover of Sable'''<br />
<br />
In 1996, with Marcus as the Guild Master, the thieves shook the MUD with a declaration that they were closing the continent of Sable to other players, and any player-characters who adventured into Sable would be killed. The event began when Gage, a member of Clan Darkness stabbed a letter into the lighthouse door.<br />
<br />
As a guild, the thieves killed off any player who tried to visit the continent of Sable, which, at the time, contained some of the best equipment and most vauable monsters the game had to offer. Thieves player-killed [[Player-versus-player|(PK'ed]]), multiple players in the fighter's, mage's, and cleric's guilds including the current GMs. Consequently, the thieves pilfered their victim's corpses and denied cleric-resurrections which decimated the other guild's equipment vaults and caused excessive level-loss for many of the player's logged on. <br />
<br />
The event deescalated when they ran into difficulty with the psion GM, Deunan, and a higher level psion, Rhumata, joined by a late rally from a number of higer-level players after those players resurrected (yet at diminished levels) then re-geared. But, really though, the event stopped when other players tired of dying and abstained from entering Sable. This early event shaped the direction of the thieves guild moving toward A2.<br />

A new version of the mac Astarian Client is under development and can be found [https://www.astariamud.com/client/A3client64.exe here.]<br />
<br />
As new technologies continue to emerge, the Astaria client has been unable to keep up with changes, although, it has served our player base well over the years. If you are feeling nostalgic, give it a try, but it may have some quirks.<br />

'''<big>Trial Arcanus</big>''' is a game that allows players to hunt each other and provides a similar experience to tag or player-killing. Participants 'begin trial' and purchase an arcanus rod at the Trial Arcanus Shop. The rod displays a list of all current hunters, then hunters use the 'kazap' command to kill their opponents before being killed. <br />
<br />
Players may use guild abilities to maneuver the realm and vie for positioning or avoid their opponents. Late in Astaria's first incarnation and early in Astaria's second incarnation matches would sometimes include 10 or more participants. <br />
----March 30, 1997, two months into A2's opening, a realm-wide Trial Arcanus Bash erupted which included more than 50 players. Records of some of the early matches from [[A1]] and [[A2]], as well as some of the participants from the March 30, 1997 match were recorded in Astaria's file structure. <br />
