Arius was founded in November 2019 by Evie.
I joined then and two months later i became Lead Writer and Head of Community, and eventually took over as owner in April 2020.

At that time, Arius was a Minecraft server but when I took over, I saw an opportunity to do something unique. Players loved creating their own stories and shaping the narrative, so I built on that. I allowed each player to create their own world for their character, with every world influencing how this new Arius would unfold. It was a hit, players loved the freedom and creative control, and from that, the new Arius was born.

Arius became a mix of creative writing, acting, and roleplay. Everyone contributed their own stories, characters, and ideas to the overarching narrative. Of course, there were still rules and guidelines, not everyone could join, and not every idea could be implemented, but it was no longer just a Minecraft server. Arius had grown into a living world beyond the game.

Today, Arius has stepped out of the public spotlight, but that doesn’t mean the project is dormant. In fact, it’s more alive than ever! I’m currently developing a comprehensive narrative universe and an overview to unify its stories. The long-term goal is to reintroduce the collaborative element and once again allowing people to shape the course of history.
