AAEmu ArcheAge 5.0.7.0 (Relics of Hiram) emulation - short in-game footage. Additional writeup of this build.
Note: this in-development AAEmu fork is supported via the projects Discord (server boost). As a result, it isn't publicly available for download like the main 1.2 development (which is much further along in terms of the game systems and main story/race quests)

ArcheAge 1.2 game client. Version 1.2 (October 14, 2014) is currently the main development target for this emulator. Many of the basic things have been implemented where large majority of the game can be played. I'm using the pre-compiled server build from May 2025 (the Github has more recent changes/bug fixes). There are some quests that are missing, mobs that are stacked on top of each other, achievements don't seem to work, etc, but these are minor issues.
1.2 pre-dates a lot game systems (no heroes, no hero halls, no dwarf and warborn races, no community centers, rudimentary trade, many zones still closed off, etc). Auroria is mainly the faction base area of Diamond Shores along with the Ayanad Library (the mobs inside do not aggro properly though). Mounts, pets, vehicles, ships, gliders work properly. Still cool to have an older build with the original game world where you can experience good portions of the early world of ArcheAge.

![(2024.3.8) 羊文学 [Hitsujibungaku] - Addiction (Official Music Video)](https://img.youtube.com/vi/AteWl40-UP8/maxresdefault.jpg)
3rd track off of their December 12, 2023 album (4th major album) "12 Hugs (Like Butterflies)".
As soon as I heard the guitar tone of the opening riff (with the distortion and "atmospheric" groove), I immediately took a liking to this song before hearing the entire thing. This official music PV released a few months later (March 8, 2024) cemented the deal.
Hitsujibungaku (formed in 2011 by Shiotsuka Moeka) is Moeka Shiotsuka (vocals, guitar), Yurika Kasai (bass) and Hiroa Fukuda (drums); on hiatus due to health issues (currently being filled in for by Yuna).
Pink Sapphire P.S. I Love You Cover (Fernandes STJ-75). Originally released 1990年7月25日, Pink Sapphire never really got the credit they deserved, being overshadowed by Princess Princess (the more well known all-female band at that time). The group had a lot of catchy pop rock tunes that were typical of this early 90's era. The group did receive a bit of relived nostalgia from 2012-2017 when they re-united (including their 25th anniversary in 2015). Their final performance together was in May 2023. Unfortunately in December 2023, guitarist Miyagawa Takako passed away from breast cancer.
