The server will be offline for up to an hour during the next maintenance window at 9am UTC. Thanks for your patience.

We've fixed an issue causing the Skill Window's Skill Cap input to not handle cases where players enter a Comma instead of a Period for a decimal place, causing the Skill Cap to be set to 0 by error; now you can use a period or a comma.

We've improved House Packing for houses that have many items locked down, it will now pack the items in chunks over a short duration to avoid causing server stalls or lag. During this period you will see a progress bar and will be unable to log out instantly or switch server-regions to ensure that the packing is able to complete and you receive the deed.

Character Reflections are currently 50% off, for a limited time, until July 1st! You can access Character Reflections from within the Skills window.

Character Reflections will be going on sale very soon for 50% off, for a limited time, until July 1st. You can access Character Reflections from within the Skills window

We will soon be deploying a change that will allow users of Large Towers & Castles to decorate items inside their homes beyond the ceiling, allowing for more decorative freedom.

We will soon be deploying the following changes.

Resource/Durability Consumption:

• resources are no longer consumed in duels, including potions (now includes faction events), but players will still need to carry resources in order to use them
• equipment durability is no longer consumed in duels

Outfitter (Skill Rental):

• players can invoke the /outfitter command at any time to open the Outfitter menu, where you can manage the Outfitter system
• enabling the Outfitter system will attempt to use the selected custom skills & stats temporarily during Duels & Faction Events, for a small fee

As previously announced, we will soon be deploying the following Guild & Faction changes.

Guild Faction Assignment:

• guilds will be required to have a faction assigned in order for members of the guild to be part of a faction
• Officers & Guildmasters can assign a faction to a guild, but only the Guildmaster can un-assign the faction once it's been assigned
• upon logging in, if you are in a guild and in a faction and your guild does not have one registered or it is registered to a different faction then you will begin the Faction Resignation process and be kicked from your faction after 7 days unless you leave the guild or your faction is assigned to the guild
• if you are in a guild and trying to join a faction, your guild must be assigned to a faction and you must join the assigned faction
• it's optional for guild members to be in the faction or not, but players wishing to be in a faction must be in the same faction as the guild
• if you are trying to create a guild while in a faction, you will be warned that the guild will become registered to your current faction when you form the guild

We have implemented a new dynamic loot system.

• Currently it is only active for the "Ice Dragon King", as a test.
• Loot will scale based on mob difficulty and how many players have dealt damage, plus some other factors.
• There is a limit cap on maximum drop amounts and limitation for multi-box.

We will look to implement this into other mobs over time and after evaluating this first outcome.

Have fun!

From the 1st April 2023, we will no longer support Steam accounts. Those of you currently using them will get a message to that effect when logging into the game, directing you to this form:

https://forms.gle/gMkPMmFS8fw2ep4r8

The good news is we have a process now to transfer your Steam accounts to regular standalone accounts! April 1st is not the deadline for this, and we will continue to accept Steam transfer requests after that time - however note that you will not be able to log in using your Steam account from April 1st.

Please note that while you may have seen the form before, some of the fields have changed. Please review the form again and ensure we have details of both your existing Steam account, AND your new, clean, empty account with NO CHARACTERS to transfer it to.

Please also note we will ONLY be conducting these transfers for Steam accounts. It's a colossal amount of work, and not viable at this time to handle any other transfer requests.

As per the form, once you have submitted a transfer request, it may take a day or two to finalise as it needs to be done during the nightly maintenance window and relies on the availability of staff to do this. Please be patient with us during this time.

This will be the final step we need to take before we introduce our new features. Sound and music will be first off the rank early in April! We hope you're all looking forward to that as much as we are.

If you encounter an issue in the game or something appears off or incorrect, please make sure to let the developers know by submitting a Bug Report or Suggestion from in-game using the /bug or /suggestion commands

Submitting feedback in-game ensures that the team sees it and also provides some helpful information automatically to the team to help identify and troubleshoot issues

If you run into an emergency and need help, we have a few ways to get into touch with us outlined here: https://shardsofbritannia.com/about/contact

Please do not direct message staff, we do not accept DMs and will not respond to them

A fearsome clicking sound resonates from within the mountains North of Minoc where Lolthi the Weaver was last spotted.

Have an issue with the game? Make sure to report your feedback using the /bug command so the development team receives it. Feedback sent other ways may not be received!

We've fixed an issue causing unexpected or no behavior with the use of Speech/Custom Action commands inside macros. If you have this happen, please re-create the part of the macro that is giving you trouble and it should work now

• Fixed an issue with multiple Passive Animal Taming chances occurring at once when killing beings with multiple pets, this was only intended to happen once per kill, not once per pet
• Fixed an issue with Passive Animal Taming gains from killing beings not being attempted at all if one of your pets is out of points

In-game Macro Tool improvements:

• removed icons from Macro Option buttons for legibility
• adds new options: Use Object, Use Object by Type, Target Object & Target Object by Type
• fixes issue with the default Sleep delay input field not matching the global macro cooldown (currently 750)

Please logout and restart the launcher to fetch the latest updates.

• We have added Ping Milliseconds display in the debug window when you press F12. This will display your ping return time in milliseconds to the server and will help to identify actual network lag issues and separate them from client or server issues.

• Now you can set the radius for the objects to be displayed when you hold CTRL. Just use the command "/setobjhandleradius 5" and you can set a number between 1 and 30 (Default is 5). NOTE: This can be overridden by the server for certain areas.

We've added Location-based Releasing for houses, so now when you use "i wish to release this" you can target the ground, and you will be presented with a list of locked down objects at the location you've targeted to be able to release them. This is especially useful for objects that cannot be targeted directly.

• fixed a rare case with trades sometimes becoming interrupted potentially causing a loss of some or all of the items being traded; going forward if there are ever any issues with trades, all items will end up going back to their owner so there should never be any losses
• fixed an issue with being able to interrupt another person's trade in some cases, now it should always prevent trade attempts if someone is already trading

Dear citizens, we have some great news to share with you today!

We have been working hard on developing a method for transferring characters from your Steam accounts to new standalone accounts. We understand how frustrating it can be to have an account that is stuck on Steam, so we're here to help.

If you are still using a Steam account and cannot login with the Shards of Britannia launcher please continue reading:

Firstly, only new & unused accounts can be used to transfer to, any pre-existing accounts will not be eligible

If you have a new & unused account ready, please continue the following:

1. Make sure you have filled out the Steam Account Issues Form
2. Some of you have filled out the form already but have filled out the Transfer-To part with an account that already has characters, please make sure you update that with a brand new account instead
3. Contact Us after you have filled out or updated the form to let us know you are ready for the transfer

A few things to keep in mind:

• Account age, veteran rewards, and all other account-related information will carry over
• Patrons will need to update the Patron Registration form to reflect the new Account ID there, if applicable: https://forms.gle/5gdsrX13PVYHnv9QA
• We will only be transferring characters that are coming from Steam accounts

Transfers will need to be completed during server down-time and will be coordinated during a time when staff is available to complete the transfers. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding throughout this process, thank you!

FINAL THOUGHTS: We will allow several days for everyone to update the Form and also to perform some testing. We will be reaching out to some of you to help us test soon

We've setup a clean Forum instance again at https://forum.shardsofbritannia.com/

It's currently setup for players to post picture of their house decorations. Periodically, as you know, we run House Decoration Contests, and often the decorations go on display for a few weeks and then they get put into the Recycle Bin.

Let's change all that! From now on, we're going to encourage players to post their creations on the forum, at any time, even when we're not doing a contest.

You all put so much time and effort into designing your spaces, we want to make sure your work can be seen by all, and stays around indefinitely if you decide to change things later.

We will probably organize future House Decoration Contests on this forum as well to keep it all in a central place. Discord gets too crowded over time to hold everything, so we hope this works well.

Thanks for spending your free time with us and for sharing your creations. Happy decorating!
