This is a reminder that Daylight Savings Time (DST) in the United States ended today, November 3, 2024. Clocks have been set back by one hour, which may affect how game times, events, and restarts appear in your local timezone.

Please remember that our servers run on UTC timezone, and neither the server time nor in-game activity schedules change with 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.

As DST adjustments happen at different times around the world, we recommend checking your local time against UTC to stay on track with event schedules.

Thank you for your attention and understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in-game!

Fixed a bug that prevented the webmap to be opened if the region was changed.

Close and reopen the launcher to fetch the update and then you can use /webmap in game at any time now.

NOTE: Dungeons are not supported yet, so you will see yourself in a random location in the britannia map.

The server has been online and steady for the past 5+ hours and is ready to play! Sorry again for the interruption this morning :)

~~ The server is experiencing an unexpected outage, sorry for the interruption! We're working diligently to try and restore it as soon as possible. We don't yet have an ETA but we expect to be offline for some time still. Please check back here periodically for updates, as we will update this post with news as it arrives. Thanks for your patience, and once more sorry for the interruption! ~~

Ever lose or misplace an item in your house? Now you can search for it! Available immediately, you can find the Search magnifying glass button in the house menu and search for locked down/secured items for the house. Clicking on an item in the list will play an arrow and circular highlighting effect over the item's position in the house so you can locate it. Hope this helps you track down your items!

Just a reminder that Season 4 is coming to an end soon.

It was originally scheduled to end Oct 22nd but we are going to extend it by an additional couple of weeks through the Halloween season, and we will plan to start Season 5 shortly after Halloween ends (specific date will be announced as we get closer)

For the next season we plan to add in some additional season goals related to the upcoming holidays Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year to make seasons even more fun and rewarding.

Thanks for participating and thanks for being here!

Dear players,

We experienced server issues during our recent event, which affected the overall gameplay experience. As a result, we will be rescheduling the event to the same time next week to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate as intended.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who attended the event. Unfortunately, these things happen sometimes, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. Rest assured, our team is working diligently to prevent such issues in the future.

For now, players can hunt Azureite Elementals to collect Halloween Azureite ore. Bring three pieces of ore to Spooky Marv at the Artists' Guild in Britain to receive exclusive Halloween paintings as rewards!

Also, be on the lookout for Puzzle Chests, which contain these Halloween paintings as well!

Stay tuned for more details, and we look forward to seeing you at the rescheduled event!

Thank you for your continued support, The Shards of Britannia Team
