I HATE Ethyrial

It's our dream and goal to make Ethyrial a successful MMO that players can love and enjoy for many years.

To achieve that, we will need to fix **A LOT** of bugs, problems, and *un-fun* systems in the game - even if they are small.

That's why we need your help:
Please share ANY feedback!

https://discord.com/channels/540514574462615552/1407300168075968532

Thanks so much for playing Ethyrial - we truly appreciate all of the support!

Lots more to come
