From the Introduction Page of the game:

Welcome to the realm of Archmage, a massively multiplayer game provided free by the services of Mari Telecommunications, Co., Ltd. In our unique game, you assume the authority of a mage emperor, guiding the destiny of your kingdom with the power of your magic, the strength of your armies, the allies you make, and the enemies you keep.

Concept art of Archmage: Reincarnation from Hell (2022)
After so long, the "thorn of the archmage" is still stuck inside me, and that is why I can't take it anymore. Having recovered all the information we had and with the support of archive.org, I have started on my own the development of "Archmage: Reincarnation from Hell" under the domain archmage.online but with changes over the original:
  1. Responsive Design for gameplay from smartphones to PC.
  2. Multilanguage, to compete with players from all over the world.
  3. Developed in PHP8 with Secure Code methodology.
I'm not going to take any existing source on the net, I'm going to develop everything from scratch, but keeping the mathematics behind the original game and the sober but elegant design of the original design. Wish me luck.

Complete rewrite and reimplementation. Source code available on GitHub.

Archmage: Stabat Mater Screenshot
Archmage: Stabat Mater is single-player and up to thirty-two-person multiplayer RPG based on the Web strategy game Archmage. In this world, Mater, the Mother of the Earth, entrusted the five forms of magic to different orders of mages. These mages are now feuding and are caught up in this battle for one of the orders, for instance, as Ben, a former elite military officer that is working as a mercenary to support his addiction to Lotus. Character development occurs through a skilled-based system, with skills like Disarm, Merchant Literacy and Sword Skill. In combat is action-oriented; you can attack specific body parts and some limbs can be severed. Stabat Mater uses a proprietary 3D engine that creates random dungeons, and DTW voice recognition technology. - IGN

RPG spin-off. Very little is known about this game.
