Hello warriors!
Check the latest update and enjoy the brand new siege detection system! From now on, gates of the besieged towns and castles can be opened only by members of the guild which has captured it. Thanks to this change it will no longer be possible to open the gates and let enemy nation inside a castle, so prepare yourselves for much more intense battles over settlements!
We have added dozens of new items and recipes for the Azebian Empire as well, including weapon models dedicated to this nomadic faction! There are also expanded drop tables and NPC vendors’ assortments. You can also prove your skills and hunt brand new species of animals – lynxes!
And the last but not least. We are aware of concerns about the in-game chat some of you have been having in the recent days. We would like to inform you that we are close to finish implementation of the chat moderation tools which will allow us to monitor it properly and react to potential unwelcome behaviors. We have strong belief that the moderation system, once in arrives, will lead to greatly improved experiences.
Enjoy the update, crush your foes on the way to Glory and see you in battle!
