It was also at this time, that one of my team members told me he had some server data files that he collected in the past, and that it could prove to be useful. I ended up being semi-successful in this endeavor, as it resulted in servers that were compliable in vs2022, and worked well enough.

ArchLord shares a number of data files between the server and client, so I figured I would use the old ep2 server files that were publically available, and use the files from the working client I had and upgrade them where I could. So I decided a change of pace in the project was required, I opted to abandon the emulator that I spent the last two years on, and change my focus on developing the server portion of the source code. I ended up being very busy with IRL responsibilities after December, and underestimated the amount of work that was still required to complete the emulator.įast forward again, to about a month ago, after letting the emulator remain stagnant for some months, and realizing I didn't really have the time nor the manpower to actually build the emulator to a mature state.

What ended up NOT happening, was the server portion of the project. What ended up happening, was the first part of the plan ended up being pretty successful for the most part, I upgraded the code to work (somewhat) in vs2022, found a client that seemed to work with the codebase out of the box, and was able to get kind of a strangehold on the client as a base to work off of. The first was to just use the client portion of the code, and use that as a base to build off of, and the second was to use the code as a research base and utilize the information to build and extend the emulator. Since, these files that I got didn't contain any server data, I opted to do two things with them. I got my hands not only on that version that was leaked public, but also on another more up to date version. Fast forward to December 2021, the ArchLord source code was starting to spread around, and fast, fast enough that it eventually was posted public. So, a little context I started an emulator project for this game a couple years ago, I even created a thread for it here some time ago showcasing the process that was made. Players may also explore across a host of map locations, including cities, fields, dungeons, battlegrounds, elemental worlds, and the Chaotic Frontier.
