Out of growing interest from the public for the team to do a Q&A or AMA, or a live discussion, we've setup this forum to organize questions and answers: https://qa.shardsofbritannia.com
Communicating there will be more manageable since everyone can engage in their own time. Given the volunteer nature of the team, plus the fact that our community is entirely global, there is no need to worry about schedules with this format.
Please write your questions about the project there and the team will try to answer when we have time. Read more: https://qa.shardsofbritannia.com/d/2-questions-answers-guidelines

Part of the lag source has been identified and resolved, and a hotfix has been deployed. Please log out and back in to receive the updates. We will continue to monitor for lag and work on any remaining issues that should occur. Thanks again for your patience through the rough patches!
Faction Town Stones & Faction Base Stones have been reset to try to resolve issues with capturing towns. Please let us know if you still experience issues with this
We're aware of ongoing lag issues, particularly in the Britain region. Please bear with us while we work through identifying the root cause and hopefully finding a fix ASAP. At this time, leaving the affected region and returning ~15 minutes later should result in a better experience in most cases.
Thank you for your patience.
Three new faction mounts have been added to the faction shop (one for each faction).
All MOBs in Deceit now have a chance to drop rare loot.
We have some exciting changes planned for Shards of Britannia, and as a first step, we will soon be 'launching' our own customised game launcher. More details on that will follow when it is time (When It's Done!).
Due to this change, Steam accounts will no longer work. If you are still using Steam to log into any of your accounts, then please read the following:
Please help spread the word about this pending change with your guilds and other friends that play. We don't want anyone to be left behind on the Steam client! These are exciting times for us and this new launcher and associated technologies will open up many possibilities. Onwards and upwards!

We've set up a Housing Display Area which you can access via the stone teleporters at each of the Architect shops around the world.
This faction pillar has been split into its own region as a test case. It's in the same location, however you'll now transition out of Minoc proper and into this new region when going to this Faction Pillar.
Please let us know of any weirdness, however we expect this should greatly improve the performance of this pillar. All going well, we will look to do the same for other pillars in the future.
We're working on a couple of improvements for Factions:
Separation of Faction Bases into their own server regions to isolate the Faction fights from Housing in the adjacent areas
Guild Faction Assignment:
We're giving you some time in advance to prepare for the Guild Faction Assignment changes, so please adjust your characters accordingly to prevent being forcibly removed from your faction later on
These changes are still being worked on and they will be released separately & we'll post patch notes with all of the details when they go live.
Rotting hand drop rate has been adjusted
New items have been added to the lottery boxes

Are you looking for Donation Vendors? They have set up shop inside the Yew Bank, Empath Abbey.
This is a reminder that the following events are coming to an end at 9:00 AM UTC on Jan 15th:
If you still have a vendor rented at the Bazaar when the deadline passes, the vendor's equipment, gold & contents will be moved to your account vault, and you will receive a notice in-game to retrieve it.
Santa will remain at his workshop until the end of the month to give players time to wrap up any pending trades & purchases, however, the Elf Camps and Christmas Paragons will no longer spawn.
The staff will take 1 week after the House Deco Contest deadline to vote on the winners & to do a public People's Choice vote, please stay tuned for more about that.
We hope you've enjoyed this season's activities, and thanks to everyone who has participated.
Good news, we're extending the deadline for the Xmas Event & House Deco Contest by 1 week, from Jan 8th to Jan 15th. A lot of the team and players have been extra busy through the holiday season and we want to make sure both the staff is prepared and players have had time to participate. We hope you've all had a good holiday season & thanks for spending some of your time with us, cheers to the new year! :)
The Necromancer's spell cocoon, blocks the first incoming damage before breaking (The shield has 60 seconds cooldown before it can be re-applied). This is how the spell was originally intended to work.
Citadel Studios has pushed a new client update, and we understand that a few folks are having trouble updating. The client update is not mandatory, so you can simply run ‘Legends of Aria.exe’ directly from the game folder to bypass the launcher, and create a shortcut icon to make this easier.
Our guide at https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/play recommends this method and has more detail. If pain persists, you can download a full version of the client here: https://cdn.legendsofaria.com/Legends%20of%20Aria-1.4.1.0.zip - this same link is also available on the Legends of Aria dashboard, under the 'Problems running the patcher?' link, though we expect this to be updated to 1.4.11 in the coming days.
There appears to be an outage with the LOA Login Server and we've alerted Citadel Studios of the issue. We hope it's resolved quickly, but in the meantime, players will be unable to connect to any servers. We'll alert you as soon as it's been restored, thanks for your patience
In case you missed it: Dungeon Deceit is now live! It can be accessed in it's traditional UO location, within the mountains of Dagger Isle

Santa's grateful for your help this year, The elves and candy canes, you've made it clear, That you'll do what it takes to save the day, And so, as a thank-you, Santa's lowering the price, hurray!
But oh no, a gust of wind has blown, Some gifts away, they're now scattered and sown, Throughout Dagger Isle, they're hard to find, But with your help, we'll gather them, that's no lie.
Beware the Paragon monsters too, They're spreading out, that much is true, But don't be afraid, have courage and might, Together we'll defeat them, it'll be all right.
So come on, let's search high and low, For the scattered gifts, let's make them grow, In number once more, let's make them shine, Thanks to you, it'll all work out just fine.
Winter monsters, mean and cold, Have come to take the candy canes, so bold. They've taken all the sweets, it's quite a feat, But fear not, for we can save Christmas, complete.
The Elves, they need the candy canes to make presents bright, But without them, Santa's workshop won't be right. The monsters have set up encampments all around, On Dagger Isle, the players must be found.
Beware the Paragon monsters in the Daily Dungeon too, They'll try to stop you, there's no doubt it's true. But don't be afraid, have courage and might, Slay the monsters, retrieve the candy canes, and all will be right.
Bring the candy canes to Santa at his workshop with glee, He'll trade them for gifts, just wait and see. Thanks to you, the Elves can work once more, And presents will be made, that's for sure.
So go forth, brave players, and do your part, Retrieve the candy canes and bring them to Santa's heart. The monsters may be mean, but you are strong, You'll defeat them, and all will be right before too long.
Happy holidays and merry Christmas to you all, Thanks for your help, we'll have a ball. Saving Christmas may be tough, but we'll do our best, With your help, we'll pass this wintery test.
