- Thank You! - 8 January 2020
With a lot of careful consideration, I have come to the tough decision to shut down the Aetheria servers at the beginning of February. It was a fantastic ride developing, supporting, and playing this game with all of you. I sincerely appreciate the support and interest you all had in the game. I truly believe that more than just a game was built with Aetheria, a tight knit and friendly community also was born. The discord server will remain open, so feel free to join, chat, and share other projects you may be supporting. Thank you!

The Aetheria Easter Event is officially over and I hope everyone enjoyed the new costumes and consumables which came with the event. If you missed it, don't worry, it will be back next year!
