Ambardia Online is a VB6 MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) operated by Ambardia Productions. It is a windows-based 2D game with beautifully rendered 3D graphics.

Ambardia was created by James Newkirk and a talented group of developers such as Richy, dg1423, Anna Comnena, Darkkiller, and Kaitol as well as a large group of dedicated alpha and beta testers. The game engine is Eclipse 2.7 and is open source.

Ambardia takes place in the fantasy-themed realm of Ambardia, which is divided into several different regions, and cities. Players can travel throughout Ambardia on foot, by using magical teleportation spells and devices, or mechanical means of transportation such as ships or warp pads. Each region offers different types of monsters, materials, and quests to challenge players. Unlike many other MMORPGs, there is no linear path that must be followed setting their own goals and objectives. Players can combat both monsters and other players, complete quests, or increase their experience in any of the available skills. Players interact with each other through trading, chatting, or playing combative or cooperative mini-games.

History and Development
Ambardia began its history as a fan site for many other popular MMORPG games. As the name of Ambard grew in the gaming community over the next 6 years so to did the desire to produce its own online realm. On August 16, 2007 the production of Ambardia Online began. On October 21st just two months later Ambardia Online Alpha Version 1 was released to open testing. Using isometric graphics from Reiner Prokein, Ambardia set a new standard of 2D gaming with 3d rendered graphics.

As a full time commercial graphic designer, Ambard worked on a complete restructuring of the game with the *** of his close friend, Richy R. Many of Reiner Prokeins graphics were replaced by a mix of custom and purchased 3D graphics. Ambardias popularity began to grow when dg1423 began working on the project to help out with coding issues and a new quest structure of custom menu's. This freed Ambard and Richy up to concentrate more on mapping and scripting. It was not long before Richy began to master the scripting code and introduced the games first mini adventure, The 21 Gates.

To support Ambardia's free content, advertisements appear throughout its extensive web site and a donation rewards system has been established.

On July 10th 2008 Ambardia upgraded to Eclipse 2.7 with the help of dg1423 and Richy. The games auto updater was set in place thanks to dg1423 and the original content was then converted over to the newer version of Eclipse.

Server
Ambardia Online is run 24/7 on its own custom built P4 server. Administrators from around the world have full access to the server at any time to continue to develop and improve the game.
