Today we would like to announce that the end of the current season and the servers merge will happen on August 31. Please read more information related to Season End and Server Merge below.
Also, today we are introducing a new system related to sieges - Siege Preparation that is implemented into loot-zone castles and is very similar to the old Guild Castle Tokening System. This system introduces Siege Camps that players have to build to be able to siege the enemy castles. Previously players after a successful Token had to wait 24 hours to be able to siege the enemy castle, right now players can siege immediately after the Siege Camp is successfully built.
End of the Glory Season
The New Glory season will start on Thursday, August 31. Also, we’d like to remind you that the last day of the season – Wednesday, August 30 – will be a dedicated day of the season's end. It will not be possible to earn or lose Nation Points on this day and the scoreboards of other season-based rankings (Glory and Arena) will be frozen then. However, it is the last chance to donate your NP to your guild as Guild Points. When the new season starts, Nation Points collected by a player will be counted from 0..
A little explanation for new players: Glory is a season-based ranking that rewards you for activity in the faction v faction v faction PVP. The seasons last around 2 months (depending on the current update schedule) and the top players are rewarded with unique titles and gold. Also, every Thursday night you’ll get a Contribution Points bonus – an in-game currency used to purchase special items from the Glory Quartermasters. The CP bonus depends on your position on the leaderboard, so draw your weapons and fight your way to the top!
Server Merge
We would like to announce merging the Legacy with the New Beginning servers will happen on August 31. During the merge process everything that players have on the Legacy server will be merged into New Beginning.

Changelog v.1.3.4
Siege Preparation
We are very happy to announce that today we are introducing a new system that will change the way and approach of how players siege loot zone castles. This new system will add another layer for castle sieges and will improve the player experience. Old players still remember the old State of Wars in the middle of the map where players from the whole nation cooperated with each other to capture the enemy castle. No matter if they liked each other, no matter what guild banner they had, and which alliance they were in. Everyone was participating in the State of War. The new Siege Preparation System gives the players a reason and possibility to rally the whole nation at a time they want to siege the enemy castle and defend themselves much like the old State of War did.
The Siege Preparation system is very similar to the old "Guild Castle Tokening System" and the only difference is that after successful Siege Preparation players can siege a castle immediately instead of waiting 24 Hours. And instead of killing enemy guards, players have to build a Siege Camp which will take some time.
Siege Camp
The Siege Preparation system is for Loot Zone castles only. In order to prepare to siege a castle in the loot zone, attackers must build a Siege Camp. Here’s how it works: First, capture a minor location. Then, an NPC called a “Siege Constructor” will spawn near the Farm, Mine, and Lumbermill buildings. Talk to that NPC to place the Siege Camp Scaffolding. Then, to construct the Siege Camp, carry Siege Tool packs to the Siege Camp Scaffolding. The tool packs are generated in the Lumbermill, Farm and Mine Warehouses. During this process, defenders can move to the location via the logistician until the camp is completed.
Because the Siege constructor and the packs spawn at the lumbermill, mine and farm, players will have wider access to Siege Tool packs and will have more creative options to siege the castle. The Siege Camp will contain a Small Battering Ram and Trebuchet, so for more siege engines players still have to use the Siege Engines Workshop to spawn catapults and mantlets.
– The Siege Constructors are marked on the minimap and close-zoomed map.
– Players can place a Siege Camp 200 units away from the Siege Constructor.
– Delivered Siege Tool packs are consumed by the Scaffolding at a rate of 1 every 10 seconds.. Players must deliver 50 packs. Therefore, preparing a siege will take at least 10 minutes if the players are well organized.
– Siege Camps can be used only by attackers.
– Recapturing a minor flag by defenders while the siege preparation is in progress will not stop it. To stop preparation, defenders have to push the attackers out of the castle area (siege collider), and then for each minute of the enemy's absence in the castle area they will lose 14% of the siege preparation, and the siege preparation will end when it reaches 0%.
– To defend a loot zone castle after the enemy successfully prepares a siege, the defenders will have to get rid of the Attackers from the castle area (siege collider) and maintain this for 3 minutes. Ending the siege is pretty much the same as with the non loot sieges. Siege camps despawn after the siege is over.
– Destroying the siege camp or other spawned siege tents does not end the siege. Only pushing attackers away from the castle will.
– It is possible for 2 nations to attack the same castle at the same time.
– Loot Zone locations owned by their homeland nation cannot be sieged after Nightlock. Sieges which are in progress at Nightlock can continue until they end.
Notifications
Castle owners will receive a notification that the enemy is preparing a siege and is building up the siege camp. The guild that owns the castle will receive notifications about the siege preparation progress every 30 seconds.
– Location cards on the map from the loot zone castles will display the siege preparation progress. All players will see the progress bar with the percentage value.
– Players can place a few siege camps around the castle, so the notifications and progress bar will always tell about the camp that is the most developed (i.e, the one that has the most Siege Tool Packs delivered).
Fast Travel
Players that use Fast Travel to a loot-zone location that is owned by their guild will not receive a cooldown to fast travel.
Work in Progress – Guild Banner on map
In the next update, the flags on the map from major locations in the loot zone will display a Guild Banner that owns a given location.
New Bow Skins
Today we are introducing a new Bow skin, one skin for each Bow type. Master Huntsman's Bow, Horde Warrior's Reflex Bow and Longbow of Honour.
Quality of life
– Tweaks related to battering ram collider to prevent players stuck between gatedoors and the machine collider.
– Added Announcement when a player from your nation enchants a Tier 5 item to +7. Notification is similar to the captured location, so you will have the option to congratulate someone by pressing the thumb icon.
– Adjusted the equipment durability indicator notification. From now the notification will always show information when your items are losing statistics. Also tweaked the slider values in the options.
– Added notification about Sirius and Ragi being started. The notification shows up after players deliver the keys.
Fixes
– Fixed issue with stealing money from Hordun Temple and Lordly heaven without getting inside location.
