Arianne ALPHA 2 Tech Preview 2 is out. This is mainly a bug
fixes over previous Tech Preview 1 release, and still lack of a
working client.

What is Arianne?

Arianne is a virtual world. It is a massively multiplayer role
playing game you access through an Internet connection.

You choose your own virtual life and immerse yourself into a
huge, wild new world, where you have an unprecedented degree of
freedom to shape your own destiny.

Arianne is also a Massively Multiplayer Engine, that you can use
to build you own online games. Soon we will tell you more about
this.

This version of Arianne is released as a Tech Preview, it still
has no working client, but we really need that you download it and
try to compile and run it.

These are the changes from Tech Preview 1:

  • Added Last Login information
  • Added MacOS X support
  • Corrected a ton of bugs, mainly:
    • Incorrect clients management
    • Actions wasn’t correctly managed on RP
    • Secure Login works perfectly now
    • Better error diagnose
  • Added Server Command Line help
  • Added option to disable Server Prompt
  • tar.gz file is now Linux compatible line ended.
  • Tons of smaller updates

Thank you to those of you that downloaded Tech Preview 1 and
have been reporting problems widely.

Please, go, download Arianne and test it. The sooner the bugs
are cleared, the sooner the working client will be avaliable.
