Eternal Frontier
A fan-run revival of Brave Frontier.

Gumi's servers for Brave Frontier went dark years ago, and Grand Gaia went with them. For the last while I've been rebuilding it — a reconstructed game server that the original Android client talks to, so the game plays the way it always did.

It's free, non-commercial, and always will be. Nothing to buy, no premium currency for sale, no donations.



Where it actually stands

I'd rather be straight about this than oversell it, because "we have the data" and "you can play it" are very different things:

  • Catalogued — all of Grand Gaia is extracted: 2,487 units, 410 quest areas, 1,526 dungeons, every vortex.
  • Enabled — 987 story quests across 21 regions are switched on, plus the full permanent Vortex Gate rotation.
  • Played and verified — the tutorial, end to end. Everything past that is enabled but hasn't been played through yet.

Working and confirmed on a real device: account creation and saving, Zel/Karma/Gems, battles with real enemy waves, EXP and levelling, energy, story unlocks, battle items, the present box, unit and item guides, and player records.

Can I play it yet?

Not yet. The server runs, but it isn't open. Before anyone else gets in it needs to move to permanent hosting, get proper backups with a tested restore, and be played by more than one person. I'd rather open late than open broken.

When there's a client to download, it'll be posted here first.

Let's make things clear, THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD ... YET!!!

This is a project I started on my own after stubling upon a hidden gem on Github ... big thx to arves100 for the amazing work did in the past ... and here we are starting from that "little" we can find online like a nearly full dump of the assets from a 2.19.x client version and something we can call a PoC, the dummy local server by arves100, yeah very "little" stuff no ?!

This project of mine aims to bring back Grand Gaia's splendor, a project that is free, has no-ads, no microtransaction shits and a lot of invested time and brain cells for you all... hopefully :)

Let me know your thoughts, ideas or if you are interested in testing this in the early stages, who knows I might need your help of that!

Meaning this must play with pure heart haha. No mod rights?
Playing with mods on a private server sounds a little bit too much considering the economy will be a lot less simplified, more and higher rewards in general soooo why would you even use mods ? XD

Got mod? I need god mod.
You can have sure, debuff mod, who uses mods faces x10 stronger enemies
