Aura Kingdom is an anime-style fantasy MMORPG from X-Legend, the Taiwanese developer behind Eden Eternal and Grand Fantasia. It is known as Fantasy Frontier Online in Taiwan and Innocent World in Japan, and it reached Western players through Aeria Games in 2014. You play an Envoy of Gaia, sent to save the land of Azuria from Darkness, and you never do it alone: every player travels with Eidolons, spirit companions that fight beside you and grow with you.

The official game is still around in several forms. X-Legend took over Western operations in February 2023 after Aeria's portal closed, and in July 2025 it launched a global version called Aura Kingdom - Impact, while some regional services, including the Chinese one, have closed. Private servers appeal to players who want a particular older version, faster progression, or a different approach to the cash shop.

Envoys, Eidolons and Sixteen Classes

Eidolons are the heart of the game. You choose one of four starter Eidolons and recruit more as you progress. They are not just pets: they grow and evolve, you can talk to them, and they keep a record of what you have done together, such as the bosses you have beaten. For many players, collecting and raising Eidolons is the long-term goal more than any gear set.

The class list has grown a long way. The game was announced with eight classes, and the roster now runs to sixteen: Guardian, Ravager, Duelist, Gunslinger, Grenadier, Bard, Wizard, Sorcerer, Brawler, Ranger, Ronin, Reaper, Crusader, Ninja, Lancer and Performer. At level 40 you add a subclass, and the pairing of main class and subclass is what really defines a build.

What to Look For in an Aura Kingdom Private Server

Version and Class Roster

Private servers run different versions of the game, and the version decides how many classes, maps and Eidolons exist. An older version may stop well short of sixteen classes. If you have a particular main and subclass pairing in mind, check that both are available before you start.

How Eidolons Are Obtained

Since Eidolons matter so much, how you get and grow them shapes the whole server. Find out which Eidolons come from quests, events and play, and which are tied to the shop. A server that sells the strongest Eidolons outright has turned the game's best loop into a price list.

Story Pace and Level Cap

Aura Kingdom's story carries you a long way, and the EXP rate decides whether you experience it or skip past it. Moderate rates keep the story and zones meaningful; high rates suit returning players who want to reach the endgame and the subclass system fast. Check the level cap too, since it decides which dungeons and gear tiers are in play.

Costumes or Power

Costumes and mounts are one thing; enhancement materials, Eidolon upgrades and gear are another. Read the shop list and look for an earnable route to anything that affects power.

Population and Language

Dungeons and events are better with a group. Check which language the server and its community use, where most players are from, and whether the busy hours match yours.

X-Legend's Versions or a Private Server

If you want the current game with the developer's own updates, X-Legend's official versions are the place to look. Private servers make sense when you want a specific older version, different rates or a fresh economy. Plenty of players try both before settling.

Starting Out as an Envoy

Pick a main class you enjoy and plan the subclass you will add at level 40. Choose your starter Eidolon for the companion you like, not just its numbers - you will spend a lot of time together. Vote for the server you play on; rankings here start again every month, so the list below follows where players are now.
