Era Online Forever - A 1999 MMORPG, resurrected.

In 1999, teenagers in Norway built an MMORPG called Era Online. It drew a devoted community, appeared on national television, and then slowly disappeared from the internet. In 2026, we brought it back — source code, world, and all — now playable in your browser.
