Support AQWorlds and Become a Legend!

Starting now, upgrade your account with any membership to become a 16th Upholder. You'll instantly unlock a bounty of exclusive items and perks. We always say that we make AdventureQuest Worlds for and with you. It would not be what it is today without the trust and confidence of the original Founders and early Upholders... and we would not be able to build what comes next without your support now.

History of Founders and Upholders

16 years ago, in 2008, AdventureQuest Worlds went live. A legion of passionate AdventureQuest Guardians and DragonFable DragonLords joined us on a new game-making journey. The early support of those Founders kept AQWorlds free for everyone to play. In recognition of their trust and confidence, every October we host a new Upholder promotion to reward other heroes who support the game's development.

How to become a 16th Upholder

Starting Tuesday, October 1st, at 12:01 AM EST, we are once again offering the chance to become an AQW Upholder.

  • Have an active membership that expires on or after 11:59 PM November 1st or
  • Upgrade your AQW account with ANY membership during the month of October

Note: only memberships count towards 16th Upholder.

16th Upholder Rewards

As a 16th Upholder, you'll receive:

  • 16 exclusive 16th Upholder Star Swords   
  • 16th Upholder Character Page Badge   
  • 13 Chaos Lord Star Swords
  • Upholder Sentinel Class and armor set
  • 12 Lord of Order Star Swords
  • Star Sword: Origins zone access
  • Surprise bonus items all month long
  • Infinite Bragging Rights
Access to all our AdventureQuest Worlds Infinity demo tests!

This year's Star Swords are loosely-based on a "back to the basics / origins" theme. Inspiration came from the elements that make up Lore, the Good/Evil capital cities new heroes first encounter, and the technological origins of videogaming itself.

Thank you for helping us keep AQWorlds online and updating since 2008, and working on the early development phases that will bring AQ: Infinity to life.

Without you there supporting AdventureQuest Worlds' development, we could not keep the game running. Full stop.

As always, Founders will recieve a special upgraded version of your Platinum Dragon pet. This year is the 0 AC Platinum Armored Celestial Dragon Pet (non-member).
