Legends of Aria

Legends of Aria is a sandbox, open world fantasy MMORPG that clearly aims for the old-school feel of classics such as Ultima Online and Runescape. Instead of pushing you through a traditional level ladder, it leans on skill use and player interaction, with housing, crafting, and community-driven play at the center. One of its most distinctive ideas was its shard system, letting players spin up their own servers with custom rules and themes. Later on, Legends of Aria rebranded into Britaria as it pivoted into a crypto MMORPG.
