So it’s been awhile, but boy do we have a massive update for you guys! One of the biggest changes is that players' levels no longer reset. Because of this, other factors have changed, as experience amounts required to level and spells/skill are now unlocked via quests or dropped items.
We strongly request creating new characters after this update!
Please keep reading for the specific changes!
