- [Patchnotes] 2.7 - Repair & Refine - 17 September 2026
Technical Debts PatchYou have heard us talk repeatedly about tech debt. It's a broad term describing a wide range of topics, from outdated systems to bugs that have persisted for way too long. With each patch so far, we have been working to address it. Update 2.7 is fully dedicated to these long-standing issues and is aimed at alleviating some of the biggest pain points.Some of these issues have been part of Florensia for so long that working around them has become second nature. That doesn't mean they should stay that way. Alongside the bug fixes, this update includes quality-of-life improvements aimed at making everyday gameplay smoother and less frustrating. Even smaller inconveniences add up when you encounter them every time you play.There is still plenty of work ahead, and this update won't resolve everything we want to address. It is, however, an opportunity to give these issues…

- Bank, Personal Shops & player trading re-opened - 1 July 2026
Dear Florensians,The maintenance has concluded. The bank, personal shops and player trading are back online.We know many of you have been asking for details such as who was involved in the duplication exploit, what was taken and what the numbers look like. While we understand why these questions are being asked, we also want to make clear that we will not be sharing this information. What we can tell you is what we have done about it.Part of why this situation went as far as it did is on us. We did not have the right safeguards and monitoring in place, and we should have. This is not something we take lightly. Since the exploit was discovered, we have made meaningful changes to how we monitor and protect the game's economy. We are confident in the measures we now have in place and we are committed to continuing to improve.We are also aware that the timing was far from ideal and that an…

NewAdded experimental DXVK support. Enabling this option should vastly enhance the performance and drastically reduce the amount of crashes on supported machines.DXVK can be enabled and disabled in the settings. For machines that are not supported, DXVK will automatically be disabled. Overhauled experience distribution in parties. We have completely rebuilt the system responsible for distributing experience in parties, allowing us to get rid of some old and nasty bugs, while also tailoring it exactly the way we wanted to. Some of the major changes with this overhaul are as follows:Only party members who are in proximity to each other share their experience. Players who are further away do not contribute or take away any experience. While the amount of members in a party still reduce the individually gained experience, lower level players now do not penalize the party anymore. Instead, t…

- [Patchnotes] 2.5.2 - 27 January 2026
This update focuses on long-term stability, introducing new safeguards against combat abuse alongside the first major wave of performance and optimization improvements for 2026.### Disconnect timerIn order to prevent abuses in PvP / PvE situations, we're introducing a new mechanic: disconnection timer.As its name suggests, this timer will trigger when trying to disconnect outside of cities. You will have to wait 10 seconds before being sent back to character selection. If you move, cast a spell, receives or inflicts damages while timer is running, your disconnection will be canceled and you will have to run it again. We hope that this new mechanic will prove useful and makes game healthier, we will be monitoring its effects closely over upcoming weeks.### Optimization and DXVK supportIt's been a year now since Giiku Games took over Florensia development, and we've already come a long wa…
- [Patchnotes] 2.5.1a - 11 December 2025
With the Patch 2.5.1a we want to tackle some of the most important outstanding issues:Monster ExperienceAs a lot of players rightfully mentioned, EXP got actually lowered in some areas than increased, as we promised in our 2.5.0 patchnotes. Over the last few weeks, we worked on trying to smoothen our EXP curve, with less sucess than we initially hoped.We nonetheless managed to address the level ranges, most noteably level 90-100 and increased the overall EXP. However, we are still not quiet where we would want to be with our EXP changes. We will continue to work on the EXP curve and expect some more changes there in the new year.To add to the monster EXP changes, we also introduced a new EXP: The Hunter. The Hunter can be found in Roxbury and Glostern and will offer hunt quests for monsters in Secret Laboratory, Elite Fox Den, Elite Mine and Elite Avery. Those quests are meant as an add…
