Small update

Dear players,

We did a small update to improve some of the new features of yesterday's update or to add some missing things.

• The counting of digged treasures for the High Scores works again.
• Guards of treasures will now look in a very angry manner towards the treasure when it is digged up.
• Dying is working properly again. Equipment may be damaged.
• Monsters that spit fire, ice or poison will not be harmed by what they spit anymore.
• A typo in the description of the collectable mugs was fixed.
• A new sub forum was created for discussing news.

Major Update

Fellow Illarionites,
With today's update, we release various changes that influence the game as a whole. Some changes you will notice immediately, some are less obvious. The update contains a new version of the client and the server. Also, the database was improved in its internal structure. Furthermore, many improvements affect the game content and the map. Even on the homepage, we improved many texts.

Some highlights: The text display of the client is much clearer now and can be read more easily. This enables the creation of further screenshots for promotion activities. Monsters now have a couple of spells again and will behave a little more "clever". With this small first step, we aim at reintroducing magic within this year. Problems with treasure maps and other features got resolved. Developers can now focus on developing new features for the game.

As usual, we want to involve you, the players, in the development process and look forward to your feedback about the update on the forum and in the chat. Please find the complete change log below.

Treasure hunts temporarily disabled

Dear players,

Due to a small bug, we have had to deactivate treasure hunts temporarily. It is likely that quests that demand the killing of certain monsters are also affected by the bug. The next update will resolve the bug.
