Alter Aeon February 2026 Update

Hello, everybody! Last month we celebrated 31 years of Alter Aeon being open to the public! We hope everyone who wanted to participate in our anniversary event was able to do so and had a good time. In addition to the event, there were some code updates last month, including major updates for ships: - An 'anchor' command for ships. While anchored, a ship cannot move, but the crew will recover morale more quickly. - If you put on a musical performance for your crew while they are tiring, it can speed up their recovery time. One or two notes won't do it: you must do a respectable song. - You can change the homeport of your ship using the 'ship set homeport' command. - Improvements were made to the warrior combo system, as well. We will be opening a new area soon: the Dark Web. This will be level 43 group 10 zone on the shadow plane. Work continues on the Nightmare Plane solo areas, with the intention of releasing at least some of them later this year. We are also hoping to have the ability to outfit ships with passenger cabins and brigs, and the relevant passenger and prisoner jobs, ready before Easter. Tinkering with MIDI output for instruments in ongoing. Work also continues on Ruthien and associated forest areas, which will be level 34 zones when completed.

Alter Aeon January 2026 Update

Happy New Year! We are busy setting up this year’s anniversary event to start on Sunday, Jan 18th! This event commemorates when Alter Aeon first went live to the public on January 15th, 1995. We typically open an alternative version of the game so players can experience the original 1995 version of Alter Aeon for themselves and see what it was like! We also have a museum of old and interesting things for players to look at. Current plans are for the Wild Hunt and the aalf friend bonus class to be available. This event will end on Wednesday, Jan 21st. Various improvements and debugging for ships were implemented last month, including: - Ports in unopened areas no longer show up on the port command. - Ships keep track of how much was paid for each hold of cargo, visible using 'ship show holds' or 'ship show cargo'. Cargo that you gather yourself (such as by dredge or fishing net) does not show a value. - A few more types of sails have been added. - The ability to fish from the deck of a ship has been added. Outside of nautical additions: - Various keywords to certain spells with high chances of conflicting in the spell parser were added. - The “perform” command for instruments will soon be turned on, which will allows players to play wielded or worn instruments, as well as immovable instruments on the ground such as pianos and organs. - Musical instruments have been added all over the game, placing them in the hands of bards and minstrels the world over (and even other planes). Coming soon: - This year we plan on creating a bard’s guild with appropriate skills. - There are plans on making performing and possibly the use of certain socials speed up morale recovery for sailing ships in the next month or so. - Work continues on building the Dark Web, Ruthien and Nightmare Plane solo areas. - More minor updates to the warrior combos.
