New Content, Features & Improvements

• It's Christmas in Aetera! Visit the Adventurers' Guild at the Stonehollow Fairgrounds for your yearly dose of Christmas wonder, cheer, and gifts (available until December 31st)!
• Introducing the Trial of True Darkness! Gather your party and challenge The Void in the ultimate challenge of 2025, for a chance to obtain a piece of the fabled Null equipment, the ultimate dark set!
• A newly discovered island: the Seaside Islet! Meet Captain Quina at the Stonehollow Port to learn more (level 95+ required).
• Private Messaging (Alpha): we've added a private messaging (whispering) system to the game. This was a last-minute addition to the build, so it does not yet have a dedicated user interface. To whisper another player, you must be friends with them. Use the command /w <player name> <message> in the chat box (for example, /w Arami Hey there!). You can also use /wl <message> to message the last player you whispered (for example, /wl Hey again, Arami!).
• We've optimized several client-side networking systems, making the game noticeably more performant when multiple players are present in the same map.
• Unlucky Coins have been moved to the Materials tab of the inventory.

Eterspire Store

• Introducing the Christmas Spirit cosmetic set box! Dress up for the holidays with festive outfits in this limited-edition cosmetic box (available until January 14th)!
