The Astaria 2.0 or "A2" incarnation began with a server transfer and was easily the most heavily populated incarnation of Astaria to date. The A2 incarnation had the highest number of clans, highest number of active wizards, and routinely saw online player counts over 100. During A2 the Paladin's Guild and Elementalist's Guild were tested and released. Between the server stability problems and the rise of the graphical MMO scene in the early 2000's, A2 also saw the most rapid loss of active players.
Realm Launch
The beginning of A2 saw the release of the Bard's Guild. Early A2 was also memorable for large parties of relatively low-level characters taking on big mobs in order to obtain better gear and the rise of the thieves as an oppressive and dominant guild in the realm.
As would be expected, death and mayhem chracterized the opening of A2 as players, guilds, and clans jostled for a place in the realm.
