Sorry for asking such a dumb question, but is the server online? I can't seem to create an account nor connnect to the game.

January News Post 2018
First of all, happy new year from the staff! We do apologize for there not being a post last month, but there was a lot of things going on for everyone. We hope everyone had a safe holiday break, and a very happy new year into 2018!
1.0.5 Game Patch
As of 1/6/18, Aroessa will be running under version 1.0.5. This patch was made to fix the most detrimental errors the game was experiencing, aka, the stash box not showing the items stored there. This error has been fixed, but at a cost.
Information on this can be found here: aroessa.proboards.com/post/938/thread
Along with this fix, we included a few little things to hopefully better the game experience in BETA as it is currently. No new content was added, but a few internal tweaks were made. The big content push is coming in 1.0.8, which i'm aiming for the end of this year for that.
Notes on the extra changes and general fixes to 1.0.5 can be found here: aroessa.proboards.com/thread/13/aroessa-server-dev?page=4&scrollTo=946 or be found quoted below:
We do apologize for this patch taking so long, however being off on break, tournaments for my e-sport team, and being sick off and on has been hectic for all of us regarding the work on the game. We do really hope this update works as planned, as there didn't seem to be any bugs when testing was ran through.
Here's to another year!

Board + Site Changes
Over the past two months, the website received a brand new winter skin for the season! This skin is still a prototype, and is subject to being worked on and changed in the upcoming months. If there are any bugs or issues you find with the website skin, please do alert a staff member.
Many of you may have noticed the Manual link at the bottom of the website for the past two years. With some spare time, this page has finally been worked on, and had the vital pages and links in it completed! Some pages are still missing, and the manual is a major work in progress, but it can be viewed here for those that wish to use it: aroessa.proboards.com/page/manual
The navigation tree has been edited. Some new links with documentation on new versions of the game coming up or changes made to that version have been added below "Game Download", or can be viewed at these locations: aroessa.proboards.com/thread/227/removal-markets-money-1-5 (1.0.5 documentation) & aroessa.proboards.com/post/809/thread (1.0.8 upcoming changes)
Events & Fun Stuff
Last month to celebrate the holidays, the team hosted a Christmas Rave for everyone to come jam out for a few hours and party it up with the staff.
We thank all those that came and had fun with us! It was definitely a party to remember for the years to come. For many seasonal events and major holidays, the team will be hosting raves for anyone to partake in. Just a reminder, glowsticks are always given out free at these events!
Be keeping a close eye out for the annual Valentines Day Rave that's going to sneak up on us very quickly!
Side Notes
As of last month, the Aroessa staff team gained a pair of loyal moderators to help out the community! Please give a warm welcome to Aeruis and a warm welcome back to Tidal. Aeruis is not a new face to the community, and has been sneaking around for the past few months, and we couldn't help but to spot her! Be sure to let her know if you need help.
We would like to say welcome back to Tidal, aka, Cinnafurry, a past global moderator of Aroessa. We thank you for your previous service, and your offer to retake the role of serving this amazing community.
Thank you to both of you for accepting the challenge, and a welcome to the team goes out to you both.
That's all for this post!

- There will be a few tweaks along with the money and markets being gone including:
+ Open stash and item box using "I"
+ Open stash alone using "T"
+ Minor tweaks to ambient in Junkyard Arena [Makes it look nicer..? If that's the word i'm looking for.]
+ New critters spawning in the existing maps (to improve item drops) [We realized the critters in-game didn't drop a lot of items players were actually looking for.. and silly me had forgotten to continue to add them to drops. My bad!]
+ Existing critters will drop more items at random [To keep items random and in larger amounts of different drops.]
+ Removed in-game staff tags (there was a bug that caused them to show up as "()" instead of showing and being gone all together, this should fix the problem entirely) [The staff list is on the website, so don't worry, y'all can still know who we are!]
+ Added new code thanks to Hyper that will hopefully stop the server from eating items [If the server disconnects you, your items should still be there, stashed or not. I do believe I also did this for pets.]
+ Fixed ban system [Because if anyone got banned it'd crash.]
+ Removed buggy user messages that were added as a testing purpose for 1.0.4 [Mostly the staff team trolling back then, these were fixed to limit confusion.]
+ Removed buggy admin alert that never seemed to show correctly [It would show for staff, but not display for users.]
+ Fixed items not showing in stash box with removal of money and markets.
+ Might've made grass thinner or thicker.. completely forgot what it was set at before I reworked the source, hopefully it's alright where it's at, if not, 1.0.8 will have a grass fix.
