During today's maintenance (9am Thursday UTC/5am Thursday US ET) the server will remain offline for up to 90 minutes while we perform maintenance.

Note that during this time, we will be doing another batch of Steam account migrations. If you are still waiting on your account to be migrated, please double check that you have provided the correct details, which include the EXISTING account ID and the NEW account ID to move your characters to.

We are unable to migrate you if you do not provide the correct details. After this maintenance, any grandfathered Steam accounts that were able to play on our server will no longer be able to connect. This is a vital step to move forward with our other client-related projects and we cannot wait any longer.

This doesn't mean you won't still be able to transfer any Steam accounts if you missed the boat - please visit https://shardsofbritannia.com/play and make sure you fill out the form and we will do what we can to cater for your request in the future.

Please keep an eye on #news in Discord to see when the server will be available again, and thank you as always for your patience.

Fixed an issue with Level 5 Treasure Maps not being diggable

We've fixed an issue with the Necromancer Death Ward spell not being interrupted properly when being killed by Town Guards, it is not an intended mechanic to avoid town-guard-punishment

The issue causing delays with one-time donations has been resolved, thanks again for your patience through the delays

• Added new loot within Deviously Drawn T-Maps.
• Enhanced the drop rate of dungeon tokens in Shame.

• New loot has been added to dungeon fishing
• Blood & Acid Elementals in Shame now have a higher chance to drop dungeon tokens

It's time for another Bazaar! We're back at Moonglow Lyceaum again this time, and vendor spots can be rented until July 1st. We've installed a separate Vendor Search stone at the Lyceaum as well. Happy buying & selling!

PS: There's a new rental property available next to the Lyceaum now as well.

Happy Monday! We hope you're having a great day. We have just a few reminders and clarifications for you today:

• Discord Support Tickets are currently on Vacation, see: https://shardsofbritannia.com/news/support-options-update

• Britain Moat Fishing: We have fixed the issue with not obtaining uncommon items and tokens from the Britain Moat. Please be aware, it is against the rules to use multiple characters to fish at the same time & you should not be using a Young character for Moat Fishing (this will be patched out soon)

• Not only can you fish for tokens in the Britain Moat, but we have also reintroduced the original loot for you to enjoy!

• There's a new merchant located at the entrance of level 1 Shame who sells goods in exchange for dungeon tokens. These tokens have a chance of being dropped by any MOBs found within Shame.

• Fixed an issue preventing criminals from teleporting at all while in combat resulting in error "cannot enter no combat area" this should now only occur when actually trying to enter a No Combat area

• A new donation vendor selling banners has now been placed in Yew (images on the SoB Wiki).
• Various loot pools such as SOS treasure chests now contain Banner dye bottles!

Recently we identified and resolved an issue with Rental Properties. Specifically, if you rented a property and the rent expired from not paying, you probably received notice that your rental property belongings have been packed up and can be retrieved from the Account Vault. If you had a rental property prior to March 3rd, 2023 and the items from your rental were not recoverable, your items may still be stored and can be retrieved by staff. If you had this happen, please contact us for assistance and we will do our best to try to recover your items.

We've identified an issue with Veteran Rewards for accounts that accounts that existed before the launch of Britannia on June 20, 2021. During the transition from Celador to Britannia we had attempted to clear everyone's Veteran Rewards records at that time, but it seems that several accounts still had old Veteran Reward records from prior to the launch of Britannia. These records have now been cleared, so if you transferred from Celador to Britannia in 2021 and you had issues with your Veteran Rewards, please check them again and you will find the old records have been erased.

• Murderer Restrictions: Fixed an issue with characters being able to perform hostile actions against innocent players in dungeons while being murderer restricted in some cases
