I apologize if this is a repeat question but I searched and didn't find a clear answer.

Which server should I be connecting to?

I read that evol / tmw had merged but I still see the two as separate servers.

I recently discovered both / either? through the Chrome Web Store while I was messing around with a Raspberry Pi Zero W I had just purchased. ManaPlus comes up as one of the selections when you choose 'Games'. It piqued my interest as it mentioned 2D MMORPG and I was hoping to be able to play on the Pi Zero. Alas I do not think the Pi Zero W is capable of running ManaPlus. So my second question if anyone knows is if the Pi 3 can run ManaPlus? Or if the Pi Zero W can and I've just fudged something.

Thanks!

no idea about the raspberry pi.

ManaPlus = game client, used to connect to any server

The Mana World = the Legacy server, will no longer receive any new content

Evol Online = the beta version of the new server, which should receive an update soon and be renamed

The Mana World Test Server = the alpha version of the Evol server, where we test all our stuff. don't use this server for regular gameplay, your data may be altered/deleted at any time without prior notice on this server

TMW-UFB Preview = a technical demo of The Mana World UFB (an old, outdated fork of Legacy) ported from the TMWAthena engine to the Hercules engine

Hercules preview server = a server to test cutting-edge manaplus features


all other servers are not controlled/maintained by The Mana World

Thanks for the quick reply, Gumi!

So I select 'Evol Online' and I get the message 'Unregistered ID. Do you want to open support page?' which then takes me to www.evolonline.org/chat which loads to a white / blank screen. How do you get registered for that server?

for the Evol server you register directly in the client, not on the website

for live support please join #themanaworld on Freenode (IRC)

Dekkir, i think manaplus should works on all pi devices. But on low versions it can be too slow.
For pi devics, because they arm based, need compile manaplus from sources.

Thank you both.

I'll look into getting the source to compile on the pi, 4144.

I really think by now you should play The Mana World server, by now is the one with more content and where most of the player base is!
