Non-faction players can no longer create collision with, heal, or give beneficial spells to faction players

Despise is temporarily closed. Cora and The Piper had an argument and made a real mess in there. It's currently undergoing a deep clean and will be available again shortly. I'd still wear a mask though.

The Polymorph spell has been temporarily disabled while we work on the ongoing issues with it. Thank you for your patience, we'll advise when it is available again.

• Blacksmith/Weaponsmith/Armorsmith NPCs will now carry more items for sale with differing stock selections from each other.

Some of you have reported persistent issues with being unable to fully update the game client using the LOA Launcher. At this time, if the troubleshooting steps outlined here: https://forums.legendsofultima.online/d/46-legends-of-aria-launcher-troubleshooting do not help, then we would normally advise users to download the client using the "Problems with the launcher? Click here" link on the download page, but the latest build has not been published there yet. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working with CS to get it published as quickly as possible for those affected. Thank you for your patience

• Fixed issue with being unable to accept friend requests from the notification panel, optimized adding/removing friends in general
• Dragging resources/stackable items to the hotbar will now default to a "Command" button, bypassing the old "Resource" style button, preventing hotbar icons from saying "No Items Available" when there actually is items in your backpack
• Lumberjacking has been optimized to get a few more chops out of each tree
• Fixed issue with crafting favorites going to the wrong recipe or none at all
• Fixed issue with pets not casting
• Removed the macro interrupted speech when a target is not acquired
• Fixed issue with being able to over-stuff packhorses
• Tracking will now be interrupted by damage received and death
• Fixed issue with Guild security options being available when no guild is assigned to house
• Fixed issue with stacks of objects not responding to player split requests in some cases
• Fixed issue with stacks of gold being created over the stack limit size of 60k in some cases, like on monsters
• Potion kegs have been reworked, fixing the issue with potions being eaten & improving their general performance and behavior, like with auto-filling kegs when crafting potions & you may notice the right-click options look/behave slightly different than before
• Fixed issue with released pets names staying blue erroneously, they should go back to their wild name color (gray usually); they will also be aggressive once again

An issue with Fishing erroneously saying "go outside of town for gains" when you are already outside of town has been resolved. This hotfix will be available after the next scheduled server restart.

• Fixed an issue with being able to apply poison from a potion that has been moved outside of your inventory
• Prevented CAPTCHA from occurring too often while harvesting
• Removed mobs from spawning while harvesting due to CAPTCHA being enabled

• Added CAPTCHA to Mining, Lumberjacking, Fishing
• Private houses can now have 1 vendor
• Fixed issue with Max Vendor limit on houses being calculated incorrectly (if your house already has too many vendors, they may remain for now but you will be unable to add more)
• Fixed issue with clockwork golem (possibly other recipes) not crafting
• Fixed issue with the unfinished keg being treated as a container and causing items dropped to them to disappear
• Fixed issue with attacking a pet when the owner is hidden nearby causing the pet to flag crim and the owner to get guard whacked
• Fixed "drink" option existing on prized fish (does not affect old fish)
• Fishing outside of town now has a chance to spawn a snake
• Potent potion recipes removed since Gardening skill is not accessible right now

Map marker icons have had an optimization pass and have been re-enabled. Just a heads up that we may need to further optimize or change the way the map marker icons appear but will try this for now.

We've identified an issue with Looting Rights not being handled properly for bards killing monsters with provocation and have disabled criminal checks on monster corpses for the time being while we work the remaining issues out.

Firstly, thank you all for your patience during this trying time. During this last window of the game being online, we were working closely with our hosting provider to identify further options for mitigation of the DDoS attacks that we are experiencing, beyond what was already implemented. We are now working with them to enable what is necessary.

Please note that this may take some time, and at this time, we will not be bringing the server online again until these steps are in place.

Also please note that we are not going to discuss the mitigations we are putting in place in any way. That would be detrimental to our cause. Rest assured that we know what our next steps are and we'll continue to work through what needs to be done to eliminate this threat.

Thank you once again, and we hope to return to service as soon as we can. There is no ETA at this time, however we do expect this process to take at least 1-2 days. As always, keep an eye on #news for any further updates.

In addition to our website and forums being updated in preparation for our big day on June 20th, our wiki has also been migrated and revitalised. Head on over to:

to check it out. Don't forget you can search it directly from Discord - just type "!wiki searchterm". If you're interested in contributing to the wiki, please sign up using your Discord account, then hit up the #wiki-contributors channel in Discord and message the bot with "!wikicontributor"

Huge thanks to community member Beekel, who helped with forklifting a lot of the content over, in addition to creating new content AND writing the new bot for us. Much appreciated!

• Players can no longer create Camps while inside Guard Protected towns.

The servers will be going offline for updates in 15 minutes. Please make sure you have the latest version of the client installed. We will post again when the update is complete and the server is coming back online. Thanks for your patience

• Missing when attacking in combat is now fixed
• Not being able to split stacks is now fixed

Please log out and back in to the game to enable these fixes.

Town NPC Changes

• Bowyers will now sell Bows, Siege Bows, and Heavy Siege Bows.
• Bowyers will now buy bows from players.
• Minoc now has an Armorsmith at the Forgery, a Bowyer at Warriors' Battle Gear, and a new Jeweler Shop named Gorgeous Gems.

The issue with the official map has been resolved, and it is now available again.

• (QOL) Players that deliver the killing blow on a non-player mobile will automatically open the corpse backpack if they are within looting range.
• (QOL) New Right-Click Mutilate ability on non-player corpses will allow corpse pile micro-management by forcefully removing body piles while keeping the lootable backpack via the CTRL function.
• Using the Harvest ability before Mutilate is ideal, as Mutilate will now automatically open the corpse backpack too.
• Mutilate will also leave a bloodstain in the place of the body.

The server is temporarily offline due to an outage with the hosting provider. It was unexpected to have any downtime associated with this maintenance, but something has come up unexpectedly, so we appreciate your patience. We are monitoring the situation and will alert you as soon as the server is coming back online, or we know something further. <3
