Arkanius is a 2D Retro-Styled Fantasy MMORPG. It is currently in development, however, already has many features.
There is a very interactive and deep quest system, a weather system, player housing, leveled and experience based skills including cooking, woodcutting, mining, tailoring, leatherworking, blacksmithing, fishing, harvesting, alchemy, crafting, carpentry and enchanting.
The player can also build and customize their own ship and caravan. This allows them to transport party members, while the party members interact with each other inside the caravan/ship the player can be outside transporting them to a location. The caravan and ship can also be named and the interior of both customized fully with furniture and much more.
The player can fight solo or in parties, participate in social events including last-man-standing PvP events on distant islands and much more.
There is magic, projectile and melee weapons. The characters have their equipment paperdolled in harmony with each other, equipment including shoulder armour, cloaks, helmets, amulets, quivers, shields, armour, weapons, belts, gloves, boots and rings in which can all be worn without any cluttered look whatsoever.
Characters can be personalized to the players own choice through many hairstyles and colours.
There is a very close knit community in the forums and nearly all suggestions (so long as they comply with the games atmosphere and feel) are implemented (the people whose suggestions are implemented are also credited!).

For the last 6 hours I've been working on the Arkanius Hall of Fame and I have finally finished it.
So here we are - for all you competitive players. The Arkanius Hall of Fame.
The general part is the top 100 players with the most experience from fighting and such. The rest are the top 100 in the all of the skills.
The Hall of Fame is updated automatically every minute and also every time a player logs out.
You can either click the 'Hall of Fame' link in the navigation bar in the header of alternatively you may also click the link below:

The more I read about this game... THE MORE I WANT TO PLAY! Release something, I demand it!
Looks interesting, tracking :)
I hope it comes out soon!
Wow, quite impressive! I'm tracking :D
The game looks relatively nice at the moment and the ui looks reasonable of course I'l have a better opinion in the future but on face value you've got a nice roll here. I'l track and check out the forums at my soonest convenience, keep up the good work.
This looks really cool, I like the classic feel of the game. I cant wait to see what becomes of it.
Looks nice, ill be tracking this.
Looks like it's off to a good start - do you have any special features planned that can't be found elsewhere, or do you plan to simply make it as good a genre piece as possible?
The ability to allow other party members to be transported via your ship and caravan (which can be kept outside towns in stables)(they can be inside interacting with each other) while you navigate them somewhere, I haven't seen this in an mmorpg before. A gm will be found in a castle situated somewhere in the game where players can queue and get on the spot face-to-face assistance from GMs, I understand it can be very frustrating waiting for tickets. Characters will be able to own multiple customized (exterior and interior) properties like cottages, farms where you can build pens, stables, etc.., castles and much more, your party can view these properties with you. :] These I haven't seen in another mmorpg, yet. This is going to be a compilation sewn with HUGE love for the genre including all my favourite features from titles as old as Ultima IV to modern titles, RPGs and MMORPGs. I've played literally - hundreds of RPGs and MMORPGs. I'm trying to make the perfect 2D mmorpg. :]
Excellent looking game with an excellent dev that really listens to his playerbase. Really excited to get my hands on this one.
