Preserve
We keep the community's knowledge of the world, the classes and the systems, so nothing gets lost.
Independent community project
A world built together.
OTTO Envolve keeps a server alive for people who already own Ashes of Creation. You use your own game client, join through our launcher and help test every part of the world.
The mission
Preserve what matters. Build what comes next.
Rebuild
We run dependable account, login and world services, on a playable foundation that grows with every release.
Evolve
We test changes in the open, listen to players and decide the next steps together with them.
Where we stand
Early testing, clear expectations.
The server is in its testing phase. Tests are for learning: characters, progression and the world itself may be wiped between releases.
The launcher only points your game client at the OTTO Envolve server. It doesn't change any game files and doesn't use your Steam or Intrepid account.

- Account sign-up and login
- Character creation and entering the world
- Attributes, progression and inventory

Still incomplete

Frequently asked questions
Before you start
Do I need to own Ashes of Creation?
Yes. OTTO Envolve doesn't distribute the game. You use the client you already have installed.
Is my Steam or Intrepid account at risk?
The launcher neither uses nor asks for those accounts. Your OTTO Envolve account is separate. Still, this is an unofficial server: make an informed decision.
Is my progress saved?
Not always during testing. Characters and progress may be wiped when a new release requires it.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. OTTO Envolve is a community project and is free.
Does the launcher modify game files?
No. It only starts your client pointed at the OTTO Envolve server.
I forgot my password. What now?
The launcher doesn't store your password. For now, contact the team to recover access.
