Sorry for the interruption this morning, we had a brief outage with our primary domain (shardsofbritannia.com) and it's been resolved. Due to the issue, this will affect some people's ability to connect to the game briefly. It can take a little time for everyone's networks to be updated that the domain is back online, if you have trouble please keep trying and it should be fully resolved within an hour or two for majority of the world. Thanks for your patience!
PS: This issue can present itself with the SoB Launcher, SoB Website, and even logging into the game client itself
UPDATE: we were able to resolve the issue. Enjoy the game!

Hail, adventurers! Due to the roaring success of our last Paws explosion fest, we’re cranking up the chaos with a brand-new, heart-pounding event! This is no ordinary rerun—it’s bigger, badder, and bursting with madness! Get ready for 24 hours of non-stop action this weekend!
Keep your eyes peeled for Special Exploding Barrels popping up across the Town of Paws. These barrels are slippery—they’ll vanish in just 60 seconds, so sprint to snag one! Use them to blast open one of the two wells in Paws: one near the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy. This time, we’ve got Guaranteed-Break Barrels—rare, barrels that will crack those stubborn wells open on the first try!
Smash a well, and you could score a Puzzle Chest stuffed with even more rare loot than before. But beware—bigger explosions mean more ferocious monsters guarding the wells, ready to test your mettle. These wells are tough nuts to crack, so bring your patience and determination!
Check our official discord for all the information!

We are aware of the login issues (error 100) that some users are experiencing due to an issue with the Legends of Aria login server. We've alerted those involved with the LoA Team and have been told that the issue is being actively worked on. However, we don't currently have an ETA for a fix, we are hopeful it will be fixed as quickly as possible. We do apologise for the convenience, and thank you for your patience!
Please note: Players have found success logging in eventually after a short time. If you see this error, please try again in a few minutes.
Hail, everyone! We’re throwing a curveball with a spontaneous burst of mayhem! No fancy prep, just a straight-up, off the cuff event to keep things lively. This chaos is live for the next 24 hours, so get in on it before it’s history!
Stay sharp for Special Exploding Barrels spawning all over the Town of Paws. These things are quick they’ll vanish in 60 seconds flat, so move fast! Grab one and use it to try blasting open one of the two wells in Paws one near the Brit Bridge, the other close by to Colleen the gypsys camp. These wells are not easy to blow open and may take many attempts!
Crack one open, and you might snag a Puzzle Chest packed with rare loot. But fair warning, these wells are tricky and will test your patience!
UPDATE: This issue has been resolved and the server is back online. Unfortunately, any accounts that were created since May 31st, the last 48 hours roughly, may have been lost due to this critical issue, and neither LOA nor SOB teams are able to recover them, we're very sorry for the inconvenience. The server is back online now.
PRIOR MESSAGE: Recently, there was an update to the original Legends of Aria infrastructure, specifically impacting the Legends of Aria Account Management page used by all community servers. Unfortunately, this update introduced a critical issue, causing players to log into the wrong accounts inadvertently in some cases.
Due to the severity of this security flaw, we've immediately notified the Legends of Aria infrastructure team and are awaiting a resolution. As a precaution, we've temporarily shut down the game server.
We have confirmation that the issue is being actively investigated and addressed. We'll provide updates as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and interruption
As part of our ongoing efforts to balance gameplay and ensure fair play, we’re making a change to how faction members can access the Britain bank roof.
Effective immediately, faction members will no longer be able to use the ladders leading to the Britain bank roof. This means the roof will no longer serve as a safe haven for those aligned with a faction. Non-faction players can still use the ladders as usual, but if you’re sporting faction colors, you’ll need to find another spot to strategize!
This change comes in response to community feedback about faction members using the roof as an untouchable base, which could disrupt the flow of PvP and town interactions. We want to keep Britannia’s streets lively and dynamic, and this adjustment should help encourage more engaging encounters.
As always, we’re keeping an eye on how this impacts gameplay, and we welcome your thoughts on the forums or in-game. Stay sharp out there, and may your adventures in Britannia be ever thrilling!
