Greetings Adventurers The Ice Dragon and Towers Rework patch is still steady on the way! Thanks for your continued patience. For now though, we'd like to begin a discussion on the state of Chaos Servers. For a time now, Chaos servers have seen less activity compared to our other servers.

Of course, we'd like to hear from our Community before we make such changes and are open to suggestions. 9/27 - Edit To allow the remaining Chaos players to enjoy the last bit of it before we close them down, the team will be enabling server transfer among all Chaos servers on 9/30 1:00 AM PDT.
