About simple1

I created Aberoth, a MMORPG that is playable in any web browser. Works on mobile too!

You can play Aberoth at http://www.aberoth.com or on Steam at http://store.steampowered.com/app/354200/

I also made Asteroid Anarchy, a massively multiplayer Asteroids: https://www.asteroidanarchy.com

My emails are: support at aberoth.com or support at asteroidanarchy.com

    The problem with emergence in MMOs is that once an emergent trick is found, it becomes an exploit, and then the emergent behavior has to be eliminated somehow, for the good of the …

    OVH prices are so amazing, I wonder if they must be running at a loss. I use them to run Aberoth ( http://www.aberoth.com ), and I always keep my eye out for a better deal, but not…

    I first released the game in 2010. There was originally only one small area to run around in, and it was running off my DSL line, so it could only support 5-10 players. Also, the c…
