A community server reimplements the network layer so an Ashes of Creation Alpha-2 retail client can log in, create a character, and enter the world.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: Ashes of Creation Alpha-2 client owners
Worth noticing: The roadmap marks character creation and map nodes as done, while mayor buildings and processing jobs remain in progress.

Field notes

The download instructions call for a launcher that starts the server and client together, with builds listed for Windows and Linux and source code also linked. The roadmap distinguishes completed pieces—such as character creation, map nodes, gathering, and crafting—from work still in progress, including mayor buildings and processing jobs. The page says the build is early and may have rough edges.
