# What is Argentum Online?

### What is Argentum Online ?

Argentum Online is a collaborative open-source project that welcomes contributions from everyone. Whether you want to modify the code, create graphics, design sounds, add items or spells, work on mapping, or help organize the game server, your participation is valued. All our resources and code are open source and are available on GitHub, ensuring transparency and security—free from any malicious code.

Argentum Online has also made an impact beyond its fictional universe. As one newspaper noted, "The fact that the Argentum community has transcended the barrier of pure fiction is, for most players, one of the game's most positive characteristics."

The game's source code was released in 2003 under the [GNU GPL license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GPL_license) and can be downloaded from [Github](https://github.com/ao-libre/). This has caused many player-run servers to be created (and not listed in the official server list where you can play different server versions with the official client). These servers aren\`t moderated nor controlled by the Argentum Online maintainers/developers and are normally mechanically different from this version of the game
