Citadel Studios has pushed a new client update, and we understand that a few folks are having trouble updating. The client update is not mandatory, so you can simply run ‘Legends of Aria.exe’ directly from the game folder to bypass the launcher, and create a shortcut icon to make this easier.
Our guide at https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/play recommends this method and has more detail. If pain persists, you can download a full version of the client here: https://cdn.legendsofaria.com/Legends%20of%20Aria-1.4.1.0.zip - this same link is also available on the Legends of Aria dashboard, under the 'Problems running the patcher?' link, though we expect this to be updated to 1.4.11 in the coming days.
There appears to be an outage with the LOA Login Server and we've alerted Citadel Studios of the issue. We hope it's resolved quickly, but in the meantime, players will be unable to connect to any servers. We'll alert you as soon as it's been restored, thanks for your patience

Santa's grateful for your help this year, The elves and candy canes, you've made it clear, That you'll do what it takes to save the day, And so, as a thank-you, Santa's lowering the price, hurray!
But oh no, a gust of wind has blown, Some gifts away, they're now scattered and sown, Throughout Dagger Isle, they're hard to find, But with your help, we'll gather them, that's no lie.
Beware the Paragon monsters too, They're spreading out, that much is true, But don't be afraid, have courage and might, Together we'll defeat them, it'll be all right.
So come on, let's search high and low, For the scattered gifts, let's make them grow, In number once more, let's make them shine, Thanks to you, it'll all work out just fine.
Winter monsters, mean and cold, Have come to take the candy canes, so bold. They've taken all the sweets, it's quite a feat, But fear not, for we can save Christmas, complete.
The Elves, they need the candy canes to make presents bright, But without them, Santa's workshop won't be right. The monsters have set up encampments all around, On Dagger Isle, the players must be found.
Beware the Paragon monsters in the Daily Dungeon too, They'll try to stop you, there's no doubt it's true. But don't be afraid, have courage and might, Slay the monsters, retrieve the candy canes, and all will be right.
Bring the candy canes to Santa at his workshop with glee, He'll trade them for gifts, just wait and see. Thanks to you, the Elves can work once more, And presents will be made, that's for sure.
So go forth, brave players, and do your part, Retrieve the candy canes and bring them to Santa's heart. The monsters may be mean, but you are strong, You'll defeat them, and all will be right before too long.
Happy holidays and merry Christmas to you all, Thanks for your help, we'll have a ball. Saving Christmas may be tough, but we'll do our best, With your help, we'll pass this wintery test.
In order to make room for the Snowball Fight arena Santa's Workshop has been moved to the bigger island nearby, but not attached to, Dagger Isle. You can get to this island from the Dagger Mountains tunnel.
Wondering when you'll get gifts? More news coming soon regarding more holiday treats and activities!
We're correcting an issue with the One-way House Teleporters having an incorrect tooltip description saying it can be used to play "two-way teleporters" when it's only a One-way deed. The deeds will be updated to say "One-way" in the name as well as in the tooltip description to make it very clear. Until they have been corrected, please be aware of this if you are looking at buying a teleporter deed from players.
We've resolved an issue with Patron Registrations not being updated in-game. If you experienced this issue it should now be resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience & thanks for your patience!
Animate Horse will now leave an Artifact upon death which the owner can double click to collect.
Animate Horse Artifact will allow any Necromancer to resurrect the pet for a cost in Souls which is calculated doing an average of stats/skills of the pet.
Animate Horse Artifacts can be traded and have a 7 days decay time.
Noxious Decay can now Cure poison from any Undead creature excluding yourself (You can only use Mitigate Poison, but other Necromancers can Cure you with Noxious Decay). The chance of success is based on Spirit Speak level of the caster.
Fixed some bugs that would sometime make the spell not work, or randomly cure and re-poison.
We've resolved an issue that sometimes causes temporary name changes to characters to erroneously become permanent.
Santa's Mailbox has popped up at Windemere bank. Players can write a Note and place it in the mailbox to be delivered to Santa's Workshop at the North Pole! Santa may write you back, and you may be able to visit his workshop in the coming days if you've been good this year!
From now, if you have Animate Horse summoned:
If your summon is attacking a target and has aggro, if you cast Animate Dead, the skeletons will join forces with your Horse and attack the same target until the target is dead or for 30 seconds, they will then turn on the nearest target.
If you don't have Animate Horse summoned, Animate Dead will stay as it was with a 60 seconds cooldown and attack nearest target.
Players entering Faction Events will soon find that they have a random name applied when they enter & guild tag will also be hidden. The random name should appear in all places during the faction event, and once the event ends the name would fall off revealing the character's true name, as well as showing the true name in the Leaderboard. Please let us know if you encounter any issues with the random name not appearing in any cases, like system messages or chat, while it is shown on your character.
As you are probably aware, we've had an Early Access watermark in-game while we have continued to work on the project throughout the past few years.
While the project may not be considered "complete" today, we will finally be retiring the "Early Access" watermark and replacing it with a physical scroll item that is given to new characters explaining the "In Development" state of our project.
The Early Access watermark was intended to be a fair warning of potential issues that you may encounter throughout your time in our game, and let's be clear: issues may still arise, even given our best intentions and effort.
We strive to minimalize the issues players run into, and we depend on your participation and feedback to help make that a reality.
Thanks so much for your continued participation, feedback, and support and for sharing the same level of passion that our team does.
We hope to keep making you proud! Keep sharing your feedback and help us shape the future of our beloved project. <3
