After a long, grueling process we finally have all the proper, working files (Thanks Nate!). It is my pleasure to say that Athena will be going Interlude in less than 14 days.

I apologize for being out of the loop for so long, but I hope the end result more than makes up for the lack of updates and inactive staff of ES. Something mono and I never pictured for this server because it was this same reason why we created ES almost 3 years ago. We will strive to help get the server back on its feet and deliver you, the community, continous updates and satisfactory support.

Thank you for your continued support and patience! I will talk with you all shortly on the forums.

Since Interlude is delayed we decided to start setting siege times again.
It's going to be the same schedule as before starting this weekend.

We are sorry for yet another delay but we are doing our best to speed things up.

I'm sad to say that Rodent (Nate), was in a terrible car accident. He is being treated in a hospital right now but it doesn't look to bright. Doctors said he will survive but he won't be able to leave for a long time. All good wishes to him and hope he will recover soon.

This will cause the release of Interlude to be a bit late, hope you understand that.

Happy April Fools day everyone

Alot of people have been asking about Interlude. Here is a small peak into what we have been doing and what needs to be done.

As I am typing this oreo is working on a new battleground were you get a boosting buff that helps you in PvP/PvE. It's an renewed version of the Chaotic zones with special drops and combat system. In other, normal high-level dungeons the mobs will remove alot of karma per kill to make people PvP/PK even when you are able to drop.
Akuma is working on client side updates. I am working on skills and Monotone should get on any minute to work on dungeons along with oreo. We got a working loader which prevents people from using walker and so on.

There is still some things left to fix, shouldn't take any time though. Armor/weapon fixes and updates. Tweaking sieges/olympiad and town NPCs. I'd say we did about 80%. That doesn't mean it gonna take another month - beta will be up in no time.

Sorry for the time it has taken to get this far, things have been speeded up and we will bring you alot of new features along with balancing and constant updates.

oreo will make another thread going into more details and explaining how everything is going to work later on.

We're stopping the Valkyrie project to help cut costs, all Valkyrie donations will be transfered to Athena.

Any Problems or Questions fell free to PM me on the forums.

We will have zero tolerance against people using bugs, exploits and 3rd party programs from now on.
If you get caught using any of the mentioned above you WILL get punished pretty hard.

Just a warning since people are always complaining when getting caught.

PS: Switching between weapons so you get both SAs at one time counts as an exploit. For example canceling people by using a hero spear and a bow, or a crit slow bow and an ancient bow.

Happy new year everyone hope you enjoy 2008 with Eternal Sin and spent your new years having fun.

I know i did 15k ppl Rave party .

You should start downloading a Interlude client as soon as possible since we are expecting to upgrade really soon.
So, after we go Interlude you can NOT use a C4 client to connect to Athena, you'll need a Interlude/C6 client.

Here are some links:

Torrent

IsoHunt

FTP

Internode (Free working one)

(Gamershell removed Interlude since T1 is out.) Updated

FilePlanet (Need a account, free)

Last month of the year and a new voting period.

GS200 is pretty much bot voters all over it but the higher we get the more people we'll get.
Also it seems like they let us stay this time.

We CAN get on the top 5 on xtremetop100 though.
Let's give it a try
