Important Empire News
Scouts report strange monsters who are gaining physical bodies. They were committing evil deeds right near the capital in the sacred grove: chopping down trees, killing horses, and blocking roads, sowing chaos among the common folk. Some even attacked settlements, but were successfully repelled. A few of them even transformed into humans.
Seeing the panic, the Empire's search parties located the clearing where these creatures were appearing. Traitors were also found there, profiting off the monsters and trading with them. The traitors have been arrested and executed, and through the power of our druids, the clearing has been fully restored. Archmages are investigating the cause of their appearance. A portal to another dimension was discovered, but it is currently closed.
New Update
Everyone who has already purchased gear, earned coins, and gained levels will keep their progress. However, it will now be much harder for new souls to enter this world. The undisguised presence was detected, and the loophole was shut down. What is there to do now? Has the world of the Empire closed its gates forever?
The Emperor has introduced patrols and wandering adventurer groups. Beware of them while in your soul form, as they will attack without warning. A bounty has been placed on every soul, so there are plenty of hunters looking to profit.
Fortunately, a certain Elder and his helper Gizmo have come to the souls' aid. For some reason, they sent these souls into our world, and there is hope that things can still be fixed. The Empire faces severe trials. The Elder asks you to unravel the mystery of the Amaranth Tower, find the source, and prevent the inevitable.
Pray to spawn in a good location. Spawn points are now random, which is the most the Elder could manage.
How to Play?
Gain a body and a name.
Dynamic World: Locations, villages, and towns develop gradually. Their level directly affects resource gathering and the level of surrounding monsters. The more developed and wealthy a town is, the stronger the monsters it attracts, and the more valuable its land resources become. Reaching such a prosperous town right at the start is difficult, so if you want to avoid harsh challenges, migrate to calmer provinces.
Factions: Fit into the system, join a faction, or found your own. But will you be able to claim your place?
Progression: Work for your faction, take part in its campaigns, enjoy its benefits, and start a family to integrate into the community. Help your faction expand or live as a hermit/neutral. However, surviving alone will be much harder.
Advice: Right now, it is best not to stand out, but to work honestly and conscientiously for your faction and the greater good of the Empire. May its unity endure forever!
Changing Race and Name: Changing your name and race is still possible, but be careful, as part of your progress will be reset. Do not do this in front of NPCs, or they will immediately identify you as an intruder.
Death and Rebirth: If you die while belonging to a faction, wait, as allies will definitely try to come to your rescue. Otherwise, you will have to restart the cycle. If you managed to have a child, you can spawn directly as them. The offspring's race has a 50% chance to inherit from either the husband or wife, or a 100% chance if both parents are of the same race.
What Has Been Added in This Patch?
Factions, building, politics, and global trade. The game is starting to live its own life, just as intended. The rest will be improved over time.
Ships and airships are now available for travel. Buy a ticket and set off on your journey!
Thank you all! Good luck invading this world, and may the Emperor be with you!
P.S. Everyone who bought starter items and bodies will continue living as before. However, keep in mind: the purchased items turned out to be fakes crafted by mages (yes, that is the kind of people these traders are). You can still fight with them, but they will degrade much faster. Fortunately, the rest of the coins and items are real. Due to the new patch release, scheduled server maintenance will take place this weekend. The server will be unavailable from 12:00 (noon) on August 22 until 22:00 on August 23 (CEST / German Time).
