Aruvia Frequently Asked Questions

Aruvia is a free semi-idle browser MMORPG with persistent progression and a player-only economy. You can gather, craft, trade, explore, fight, and develop multiple skills from a desktop or mobile browser.

Yes. The alpha is currently open to anyone who can sign in with a Google account. Alpha means the game is still being actively tested, so features, balance, and interfaces can change and bugs are expected.

No. All alpha progress is planned to be reset before beta testing begins. The reset gives the beta economy and progression a clean starting point after alpha testing and balance changes.

Yes. Alpha and beta testers will receive their corresponding permanent tester badges on their profiles after the planned testing wipe. The profile badge system will be added later in development. Alpha testers will also receive gems as a thank-you for helping test the game.

Yes. Aruvia has a dedicated Android app on Google Play. You can also play in a modern web browser without downloading anything. Browser installation is another option: Aruvia is a Progressive Web App (PWA), so supported browsers can install it to your desktop or home screen. Look for “Install app” or “Add to Home Screen” in your browser menu; the exact wording depends on your device and browser.

Yes. Aruvia has a dedicated Android app on Google Play and also works in mobile browsers. The same account and characters are available in the app and in desktop and mobile browsers.

Your active activities progress while you are offline. You can close the browser or Android app after starting an activity. Aruvia is semi-idle: when you return, collect or review your activity results, check your logs, and choose what to do next. Activities have limits and can end while you are away, so leaving the game closed does not mean unlimited progress.

You can play casually in short sessions: check your activity, collect results, manage equipment, and start your next task. Gathering, refining, and crafting do not require constant attention. Trading, planning travel, and coordinating with a party can take more time, depending on how you choose to play.

Yes, and the limit depends on the activity. Gathering and refining sessions allow up to six hours of progress, with tool durability or available materials potentially limiting them sooner. Crafting and cooking batches allow up to six outputs of the same recipe within a six-hour limit. Travel routes are also limited to six hours. Dungeons follow their own room progression and can finish or end in defeat before you return.

Players are the buyers and sellers in town markets and auctions. Gather resources to sell, buy materials for a recipe, craft equipment for other players, or arrange a direct trade. Players set their market prices, and markets and storage are tied to individual towns. You can produce supplies yourself or trade for what you need, giving your gathering and crafting a use beyond your own character.

Yes. You can gather, refine, craft, complete quests, travel, and enter dungeons without joining a party or guild. Your equipment, skills, and chosen dungeon difficulty affect what you can handle alone. Solo play still takes place in the shared world: you can trade with other players, and entering unsafe zones can expose you to PvP.

Yes. Aruvia will remain playable for free. Planned monetization includes an optional premium membership, a premium currency called gems, and cosmetics. Both premium access and gems are also planned to have ways to obtain them without paying real money.

Trade through markets, auctions, or direct trades; add friends; and chat publicly or through private messages. Form a party to travel and run dungeons together, or join a guild with its own chat, ranks, treasury, and shared storage. You can also arrange friendly duels or take part in ganking in unsafe zones. These systems make player interaction part of gathering, crafting, exploration, and combat.

You can avoid hostile PvP by staying in green zones and towns. Yellow and red zones allow ganking: other players can attack eligible characters there without asking for a duel. Travelling through these zones can also expose you to attacks. Friendly duels require acceptance. Disabling random monster encounters does not disable PvP.

Yes. Closing the browser or Android app does not protect your character from ganking. In yellow and red zones, activities such as gathering, travel, and dungeon runs can make you a target while you are offline. Choose your location and route before stepping away. Reach a town or green zone if you want to avoid hostile PvP.
