Now, depending on the Aberoth client, there are different ways to go about this, either going totally random by using the HTML5 client, having some more options by using the stand-alone client or even choosing the starting realm by using Steam. However, even though there are multiple different clients to choose from, there is only one server that has to interact with all of them.

Incendium API v1.0

Get it here: https://github.com/0xJonas/AberothIncendium/tree/master I'm happy to announce that the first version of the Incendium API is now finished.
