- 12/06/16 Patch - 12 June 2016
Features: Significant improvement to the net code to reduce latency and lag. Particularly for users that are far from the server! The game uses TCP much more efficiently to reduce waiting for ACKs. We will continue to optimize further. New high level raid ‘Shadow Chambers’. It features a more efficient way to collect crafting materials for the unique Khopesh, new dungeon generator elements. Dungeon generator upgrades. Some random dungeon will now spawn portal, mini-bosses, new puzzles. It will also generate new layout structures. More improvements to build on this in upcoming patches. New early-access user contributed translations for French, Portuguese and Japanese. Updates to the existing translation. Game will reload translation a bit better when switching. Some things will still require a restart however. Levels: Many new housing tiles implemented into overworld houses. Added some n…

- 6/07/16 Patch (More bug fixes) - 7 June 2016
Features: Early release of the translation feature. Featuring partial translations in Russian, Japanese, Swedish. Contribute on our Crowdin page. Progress on the dungeon generator. Changes not yet released. Will go into the upcoming lv50 raid. You can now refresh your rent after 6 hours instead of 7 days making it easier to top it off to the max 14 days. Light progress on the alchemist class. This won’t be released for a good while as we prioritize bug and stability Added farming & botting anti-measures by popular demand. These will only trigger if a player is farming heavily. Players will be asked to solve a simple CAPTCHA. We don’t expect regular (non-bot) players to hit this. Please let us know if it’s triggering for you accidentally. Improved our offsite server backups. Can never be too careful :D Added timestamp to chat messages on mouseover. Levels: New NPC body/head/armor sprites…

- 5/24/16 Patch - 24 May 2016
Features: Trade window will now close when the other side dismisses it Can now ignore trade from another player temporarily. Added a new warp scroll for fast travel. Warp scroll will drop from bosses and will be added as quest rewards in upcoming quests. Added a warp scroll pack to the cash shop: 100 gems for 20 scrolls. Added the first craftable unique. It’s a one handed Poison Khopesh. It will require 100 rare shards to craft. Unlike the chaos sword, which requires one super lucky roll to drop, this item will require many more likely drops and thus will feature a smoother progression. This unique features a craftable upgrade as well (it will reroll the item however). It will begin to drop rarely in the Morhollow raid but will drop more frequently in the lv 50 raid. NOTE: The hilt cannot drop yet and will come in the next patch. The level 50 raid is not ready this patch but we’re still…

- 5/17/16 Patch - 18 May 2016
Features: Split the level cap into a soft and a hard level. Soft level cap remains at lv40 but players will be able to progress to lv50 (hard cap) at an exponentially slower rate. Players can thus progress a bit beyond the level cap instead of solely collecting gear. NOTE: Once the soft cap is moved other players will be able to catch up easily so be warned. Added in a offensive language filter into the game. If players continue to use bad language mod may issue punishments like mute or worse. New keybinding for ‘U’ that will bring up player statistics Adjust Trade Window to close if the other player closes it, as well as an option to ignore trades for 15 minutes. Add an option to ignore trade from a player (trade spamming) Added a lot of map markers for the new full screen map Redid some skill icons. (Progression dungeon update changes pushed back) Quests: Added a few new quest (3 or 4…

- [5/11/16] Patch Notes - 12 May 2016
These changes will go live over the next few hours as we reboot each server briefly one at a time. General: Added more player houses in all areas. Added 2 new skills for mobs around the world. The bank bag slot are now visible (was meant to have been released on launch). Changed the copper add/decrease message to not require mental math. The /fell and /exit commands are now split. You can use /exit to return to the exit of the dungeon and /fell to go to the first town (Bluevale). Added a safe mode. Particularly useful for people experiencing Intel crashes (Crashes at 0xc0000005), selected bad resolutions or don’t have a working hardware accelerated OpenGL configuration. Skills (Medic): Changed Heal Tonic to heal for more when you are low health, as well as increased overall heal.Adjusted the look of Chemical Waste.Jumpstart now works in combat and also resets targets cooldowns.

- Latency Improvements - 10 May 2016
Guys, We made some changes to the TCP slow start configuration and got incredible results. This should affect the overall latency if the server is not close to you. Users that were experiencing a lot of lag, specifically when switching levels, should see a huge improvement. We still have additional adjustments to make, but these changes are a huge step in the right direction. Thanks, -FTO Staff
