    Patch Notes 14/07/2025

    Following the completion of the T3 PvE rework, we've begun work on T4.

The game

Realm versus realm

Order against Destruction

Two realms at war over the Old World. Fight with your warband to take keeps and fortresses, and carry the war to the enemy capital city.

Races and careers

Six races, twenty-four careers

Choose a side, a race and a career: a tank to hold the line, a healer to keep your group standing, or a damage dealer to break the enemy.

Scenarios

Battles on demand

Queue for scenarios, instanced battles between the realms with their own objectives. A quick fight at any hour, and a good way to learn your career.

Dungeons

Into the depths

Take a group into the dungeons of the Old World for their bosses and their rewards, or join the public quests that everyone nearby can take part in.
