Our biggest content update is finally here! Thank you everyone for being very patient with the update. We will be reverting back to the weekly update schedule.

Membership
We are introducing a membership pass model for accessing new content, this is our only monetization we will do as we do not want to introduce any MTX even if its just cosmetics because we believe the game is more fun without it. All existing content will remain free to play and free to play will still get occasional new content but will mainly be focused towards early game. The majority of new content will be members only

  1. You are now limited to one simultaneous login per account by default. You can still log into multiple different accounts simultaneously.

  2. As explained in previous posts, you can increase the amount of simultaneous login limit by purchasing more membership stacks. For example, 2 membership stacks = 2 logins.

  3. You can now purchase membership in Character Selection UI (Steam Accounts Only).

Once you become a member, you will be able to view your current membership stacks and log in limits and extend current/expired membership stacks.

Valen City (Members Only)

  • Added a new 'Open The Gates' quest which gives you an access to Valen City and a cape once completed (Members Only).

  • Added many NPCs with unique dialogues to the city.

  • New city to explore for many new items, shops and some enemies.

Cavern (Members Only)

  • Lava cavern with new level 60 mobs and boss.

  • New highest level sword and shield.

  • Crystal cavern with new level 50 mining rock.

  • Goblin cavern with new level 35 mobs and boss.

  • We plan on expanding the cavern for more future content.

Feature

  • Added a new back equipment slot. 

  • Added a new carp fishing spot in the Elf Forest (Members Only).

  • Added Gilded Vials accessible in valen city (Members Only)

  • Added three extra bank tabs for members, increasing bank space to 400 from 100. Once membership expires and you will only be able to withdraw items from them.

  • Added dialogue system. Valen City has friendly NPCs with dialogue, we plan on adding this to other towns in the future.

  • Added quest log [default key: J] window and quest tracker that shows information about the quests.

  • Added benches that you can sit on around the map.

  • Added dogs that you can pet and feed!

  • You can now purchase character slots in Character Selection UI (Steam Accounts Only).

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issues that would cause servers to crash.

  • Fixed Skeleton Pioneer boss arena to prevent the boss from getting stuck.

  • Fixed many spots that NPCs would get stuck in falling animation.

  • Fixed item tooltip UI not showing multiple attribute requirements.

  • Fixed Burn VFX persisting around after dying.

  • Fixed projectiles flying to random places.

  • Fixed Elf Boss immediately switching back to default phase when it shouldn't if the condition was met.

Misc
