Development Manifesto: The Aryntius Legacy Server

For a while now we have entertained the idea of running a legacy server of Aryntius (i.e. the server in its original form with no further changes after Update 2.4.0).

We will accomplish this by streamlining progression through the entire server while also increasing the depth of the immersion and...
