1 / 10Dark and Light Server Hosting, Explained
New to Dark and Light?
What is Dark and Light?
Dark and Light is a sandbox survival RPG set on Archos, a world ruled by elemental forces under the shattered remains of the planet Gaia. You gather food and materials, craft tools, build a home almost anywhere, and learn magic to survive. By day the land is peaceful. At night, and during eclipses, its creatures turn violent, and eclipses are also when the rarest magical resources appear. Survival and combat are hard alone, so the game is built for groups and factions.
Tame Mythical Beasts.
Dragons, griffins, unicorns and more can be tamed and raised as companions.
Magic and Steel.
Master spells, a magic staff and over 14 melee and ranged weapons, and forge your own legendary gear.
Why rent a server?
What is Dark and Light Server Hosting?
A Dark and Light dedicated server keeps your world on Archos running around the clock, so your group can play on their own schedules without a PC left on at home.

Always Online.
Your world stays up when you log off, so your faction can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your map, rates and rules, play PvE or PvP, and add Workshop mods.
