A1

Astaria opened with three major continents, Astaria tiself, Sakai, and Sable. The early incarnation of Astaria saw player counts below 10 in late 1994 and early 1995, but those numbers grew to a player base of 40+ regularly logged on. The numbers ballooned even higher toward the end of 1996. The MUD opened with a number of guilds: fighter, mage, cleric, thief and psion, 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.
