About a week ago we mentioned that a new teammate would be joining us, and today is the day! We would like to introduce Cultivate, they are joining us to fulfill Game Master duties like player support, events moderating and possibly more things as they grow into their role on the team. Please give them a warm welcome! Welcome aboard Cultivate

Greetings Citizens,

We would like to film some staged events to create a promotional trailer for Shards of Britannia. With the help and expertise of Hoax, we also require as many players as we can get online at this time.

We hope this video will show a lot of what our amazing community server has to offer! So we would love to see you all at this event!

Before the event players will be put into groups and assigned positions. For example, some players will be fishing on Britain Bridge, some will be in factions fighting, etc.

We need those interested to fill up the positions in this document before the event starts and please join us in Discord: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jJ9n8OFsCPFQaNI5EIz_LDUgypHnYmwI/edit

The last thing planned during the event is to have everyone fight the Hydra.

This event is scheduled for 11:30pm UTC on 2/18, hope to see you there!

Our top Wizards have been working tirelessly, and we're happy to announce that the city of Skara Brae, as well as the mainland region to the east of it, will be available in game very, very shortly- and we mean REALLY shortly. While expanded landmass is awesome in and of itself, we wanted to give you a preview of some of the things that come with it:

• Housing will be enabled in the region on launch
• A new, mysterious puzzle questline will open up. Players are encouraged to seek out information about strange events in the area- one clue of which is already in the world today.
• A second faction pillar will be activated in the overland.
• A new automated/regularly scheduled miniboss will be activated.
• A celebratory Treasure Hunt Event (similar to the christmas elf's treasure hunt) will occur shortly after launch.
• A few new, never before seen mobs will be in the region
• More content in this region undoubtedly will follow.

We're excited to share the team's hard work with everyone VERY soon!

An issue preventing placing houses in some designated housing spots due to "you cannot claim that land" has been resolved. This was due to a designated Treasure Map location being nearby blocking placement, which has now been optimized. In some cases, this may open up a piece of land that previously could not be claimed. This hotfix will go live after the daily restart

• Areas outside of Britain, Minoc, and Cove are now open for house placement
• A new "Pack and Relocate" option has been added that will allow you to pack your house up and move it to a different location

Relocation details:

• Initial cost is 20,000gp which is doubled each subsequent move
• Packing a house for relocation will move all of the house's contents (lockdowns & secures & vendors) to a deed which you can use to re-place the house again somewhere else
• You will have 2 days to complete the move, after which the house and its contents will decay automatically
• House relocations have a cooldown of 2 days after a relocation occurs (make sure you are happy with your spot when moving!)
• In the rare event that it will take someone more than 2 days or an emergency comes up, we will do our best to accommodate players' needs

We've got an update regarding the landrush announced earlier this month https://shardsofbritannia.com/news/housing-plan

The landrush will begin at 2:00 pm UTC on 1/1/22 and to see this in your time zone please see the time listed on the Discord Event: https://discord.gg/CuwaP9sbep?event=919129668781748256 as it is reflected in your local time.

At 2:00 pm UTC on 1/1/22 we will restart the server with the update to allow housing around Britain, Minoc & Cove.

We hope this accommodates most people's time zones and you're able to attend and secure the spot of your dreams!

Happy holidays from the Shards of Britannia staff!

Twelve days of Xmas is about to commence. Santa has set up shop outside of Britain in Paws town. For naughty Britannians, Evil Santa has set up shop outside of Minoc next to the Buccaneer's Den archway teleporter. You will be able to talk to Santa each day, per account, to receive a gift. There may be appearances of Krampus or other evil holiday spirits throughout the event as well, stay tuned for more updates.

Note: Santa will not start handing out presents until 9am UTC Christmas Morning, but if you are logged in starting at midnight UTC on Christmas Eve you will get a gift to open early! :)

Event details from Discord: https://discord.gg/CuwaP9sbep?event=922085498011398165

• Fixed an issue preventing skeleton keys from receiving their decay timers, this was an unintended side effect of another hotfix recently
• Fixed an issue with being able to use objects inside of secured containers when you don't have permission to
• Fixed an issue with being able to open Lottery Boxes when they are not inside your backpack
• Fixed an issue with not being able to use/decorate locked down objects that are stacked on top of each other due to line-of-sight, you should now be able to use/decorate objects up to the ceiling

• Fixed an issue causing players to see "you can't do that so quickly" erroneously, as well as preventing players from teleporting in quick succession
• Tracking distance is now greatly reduced when inside of a Dungeon as part of the ongoing balancing

On Christmas Eve, the gravedigging vendor will cease to sell Santa's Candle, the item used to trigger the Santa Claws boss event. After Christmas Day, he will be gone for good, along with his Ethereal Reindeer.

We've deployed a hotfix for the issue preventing players from releasing objects with collision. The full fix requires a server restart, until then, you can say "I wish to move this" to bring up the Decorating Tool and use the release button from there and it will work.

The following changes have been made to help prevent getting items stuck inside of house walls causing them to be unable to be retrieved.

• Can no longer drop items in places that are blocked or that you cannot see
• Can no longer release locked down items that are in blocked locations or in a spot you cannot see

Note: In some cases, to decorate and move objects on top of each other you may be required to place items in an open spot first and then use the house Decorate Tool to move them to the desired place

Item Collision issue:

• Fixed an issue with object collision not being updated/removed when moving or picking-up items that have collision

Soon you will begin seeing server alerts for ongoing miniboss events that will occur in various areas of the overland on a regular basis. At this time, there will be four different miniboss events available. You should see one happening every day or two once they've been implemented. These events will require a decently sized group to complete.

These bosses potentially drop several brand new rare items created by team member Transcendence. Some are decorative, others are useful.

• Fixed an issue preventing players from reporting player murders if a monster or NPC gets the killing blow
• Fixed an issue with treasure chests in dungeons not decaying if untouched for a period of time; additionally, random Orc Camps now spawn in overland with a chest of difficulty levels 3 to 5 (overland chests do not offer uncommon items like dungeon chests)
• Fixed an issue with the Stuck Menu not responding to button presses in some cases
• Fixed an issue with not being able to place the decoration Tattered Green Banner

After the restart, the following items have been addressed:

• A bug causing Faction Mages to persist beyond 24h has been resolved.
• Several faction sigil system bugs have been squashed. As a result, you may encounter the following scenario: 1. You steal a town sigil and deposit it in your faction stone 2. Someone else steals that sigil from your faction stone 3. Before they can deposit in their faction stone, you try to deposit a DIFFERENT faction sigil. You will be prevented from doing so until either they deposit that stone or you take it back.
