Faction Pillar Conflicts are now running on live! Come join in our factions mayhem as a member of True Britannians, Shadowlords, or Minax. These events will be occurring at least every 4 hours with extra spontaneous events in-between this weekend!
We're back online! Factions update has been deployed and players can now login and join up. Faction events are still being setup and will appear soon! Faction rankings have been reset and legacy factions players will be migrated to factions when they login.
More details and patch notes will follow shortly.
It looks like we'll need a bit more time to get things back online. Keep an eye on the news as we will post as soon as we're back! Apologies for the delay!
We will be bringing down the server for our factions update in about 2 hours from this post. We anticipate this will probably take around 30 minutes to complete but will update the news if that changes. More details will be posted after the update.
After today's patch, it was realized how many people are beyond their house's storage limit due to items on their vendors! A lot of players have concerns about this since there was no warning. Due to the volume of players affected by this, we will be temporarily suspending the Vendor Storage enforcement until the end of May to give you all some time to adjust! We will also be considering the possibility of other options to help with storage/storage management. Please know it was not intentional for players to bypass your housing storage limits by packing items onto your vendors, and so we will not be reversing this correction once it goes live again. Please use the time to do some spring cleaning and perhaps sell some things in the upcoming auction. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
The server is coming back online with the latest patch applied (see patch notes for details), sorry for the extra downtime but thanks for your patience.
Savages appear to have defeated the barbarians and conquered the swamp east of Skara Brae!
The server will be going offline in approximately 10 minutes to apply the recent patch shown in the Patch Notes. Expected downtime is ~20 minutes. Thanks for your patience!
Update: The server is still offline and we're working on applying the patch still. Downtime will last slightly longer than expected, but we're almost done! Thanks again for your patience.
Please be sure to check out our Easter highlights video for 2022! Thanks Hoax for putting this together!
Just a reminder that the Easter Events will be coming to an end after the daily restart, roughly 3.5hr from the time of this post. The Easter Vendor will remain for 2 more weeks allowing you some more time to put all your eggs in one basket. We hope you've had fun this holiday and look forward to doing more fun stuff in the near future. Thanks for your participation!
The Easter Egg hunt has commenced! Easter Egg Nests will be scattered throughout the overworld for you to find. Double click the eggs to try opening them for fun surprises and goodies!
Collect Fabled Carrots to spend at the Easter Vendor who has been seen hopping around the Paws Stables & Farm, just south-west of Britain. They will also buy some of the items you may get from the eggs in exchange for more Fabled Carrots.
The Egg Hunt will be live until April 26th and we will try our best to do some planned and/or spontaneous events throughout the week.
Happy Easter!
Something is amiss, a new maze has appeared in the middle of Hedge Maze! Perhaps you should hop around and see what you can find out. Note: Any existing spawns inside Hedge Maze are unavailable during this time, for the event. Also, click-to-move is now disabled while inside of Hedge Maze.
Unfortunately, there was an issue that forces us to roll back the world save to the last server restart, about 1 hour since the time of this post. Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll be returning online soon though. Thanks for your patience.
Just a reminder, anytime we post a deadline or a start time for something, it is always subject to change and you should expect there to be delays, always, but hope for the best. Our team consists of people from all over the globe, which may cause delays, and we are volunteering our free time, so we do our best within our means to meet deadlines.
For week-long events there is no specific time we will deploy and active the activities. Unfortunately Discord forces us to pick a specific start time when creating Events in Discord, and so usually we'll pick 9am UTC the day that we plan to start the activities. That doesn't guarantee that 9am UTC or any other time will be when the activities start, as we will make announcements within a few hours of the activities starting.
For week-long holiday activities you are not expected to be there at the time that the activities begin. Participation is welcome throughout the entire week, and this time is allowed for those that may not be around on the day of the holiday being celebrated.
Thanks everyone for your patience and support.
We recently combined in-game help requests with feedback reports, so when you send a help request it will go into the same stream as the rest of the feedback. We've also updated the Discord Support Threads channel, adding the ability for you to create new support threads on your own, if you require assistance. It's always best to report issues in-game when possible, but if you do need more help please see the instructions in #support-threads to start a ticket. We'll do our best to reply to tickets as quickly as possible. Thanks!
To celebrate Easter, we will be hosting an Egg Hunt throughout Britannia! Find eggs and break them open and collect Fabled Carrots (or other surprises), which can be spent at the Easter Vendor in exchange for some neat gifts! We hope you have time to log in and participate and have some fun. See you there! See the details of this event: https://discord.gg/CuwaP9sbep?event=963864006546841680
