White Wyrm Improvements

The White Wyrm, a once-feared magical beast, has struggled to compete with Dragons due to its weaker overall performance. In this update, we've enhanced its spellcasting capabilities to make it a powerful and distinct caster pet, while keeping its core stats intact.

• Increased casting frequency
• Health pool boosted to match dragons

This is a reminder that Daylight Savings Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025. Clocks will be set forward by one hour, which may affect how game times, events, and restarts appear in your local timezone.

Please note that our servers operate on UTC timezone, and neither the server time nor in-game activity schedules will change with the start of DST. All events and restarts will continue to occur at the same times in UTC. However, due to the DST change, the time at which these activities appear in your local timezone may have shifted.

Since DST adjustments occur at different times in various regions, we recommend checking your local time against UTC to ensure you stay on track with event schedules.

Thank you for your attention and understanding. We look forward to seeing you in-game!

We've restarted the server to clear out some cobwebs that were lingering in the connection. The server should be back online now or within a few minutes. Sorry for the interruption and thanks for your patience!

UPDATE: The connectivity issue with users in Europe is now resolved, you should be able to log in again as normal. If you have any further connection issues please let us know, thanks for your patience!

We're currently experiencing issues with one of our providers serving the European market. Our team has submitted a detailed ticket, including specific player feedback, to expedite troubleshooting. While we're optimistic about a swift resolution, please note that it may take up to 24 hours (or longer) to fully restore service. We will provide updates as soon as we have more information.

Note: Some users have reported that connecting via a VPN from outside the affected region can serve as a temporary workaround.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

• Faction players are now restricted from accessing the safe, no-combat area on top of Britain Bank West.
• This change aims to ensure balanced gameplay by limiting potential safe zone exploitation.

• The decay timer for murder counts is now more punishing initially, scaling down as your murder count increases.

• New decay thresholds:

  • Murder Count ≥ 100: 6 hours (360 minutes)
  • Murder Count ≥ 50: 12 hours (720 minutes)
  • Murder Count ≥ 10: 24 hours (1440 minutes)
  • Murder Count ≥ 1: Default decay timer

• These changes are designed to impose harsher penalties for smaller murder counts (making it tougher early on) while gradually reducing decay times for higher counts.

• Large red cacti can now be found in the desert; they can be exploded with exploding barrels for loot.

• Sable, the infiltrator who offers the Crystal Activation Cart quest, now offers an Ethereal Emberfang mount for 10 quest tokens.

We’ve revamped the disarm mechanics for thieves! Here’s how it works now:

When a thief attempts to disarm their victim, the system will first target the victim’s weapon. If the weapon is insured or blessed, it will be skipped. The thief will then randomly attempt to disarm an item from any other equipped slot, including Head, Chest, Legs, Left Hand, Cloak, Necklace, Mask, and Ring. If an item in a targeted slot is insured or blessed, the system will skip it and move on to another slot until an eligible item is found or all options are exhausted.

If the thief successfully disarms an item from their victim, they can immediately follow up with a blind steal attempt. This steal will automatically take the disarmed item, giving thieves a rewarding payoff for a successful disarm.

As part of our ongoing efforts to make hunting more fun and challenging, we’ve updated another key area:

Hedge Maze

• The undead that once roamed these corridors have been driven out.
• Daemons, Hell Hounds, Fire Gargoyles, and Fire Imps now hold dominion here.
• At the maze’s center, the fearsome Balron—among the most powerful daemons—has returned to Sosaria.

We hope you enjoy these changes and look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to improve the game world!

The chance to fish up rare items in the weekly safe dungeon has been reduced, while it has been increased in the daily dungeon; normal dungeons remain unchanged.

• New loot has been added to MIBs.

• Summoners’ Dark Guardians and Strange Gazers stats have been adjusted to improve overall balance.

• Some improvements have been made to the Fowl Frenzy event: exploding barrels now have a larger range, killing chickens and turkeys no longer counts as killing orcs, and Nuke will now decay in 2 hours instead of 1 hour.

Mining and lumberjacking will now only have a chance to drop little rocks, golden apples, and rare decorative mushrooms. When ore elementals and reapers are killed, they will now give players a chance to receive large, heavy items like Britannia crystals and weapon caches.

Bulk order deeds weight have been adjusted from 5 down to 1.

Thank you all for the feedback.

A new mini-boss, the Rat King, has stormed into the Rat Fort in Level 1 Dungeon ICE. This acid-spitting menace is tough to beat, hurling corrosive acid that tests even the hardiest adventurers. Defeating him promises rich rewards, with whispers of rare treasures like enchanted gear and magical talismans hidden in his icy lair. Grab your crew, dodge the acid, and take down the Rat King—glory and loot await the brave!
