Server Move and Port Change

A long black tunnel illuminated by artificial light

We have just what moved to a different server as part of legacy mode. This changes nothing for us in terms of capacity or lag as Lusternia is well optimised, and there are still areas to improve should any issues occur. What it does change, however, is how you connect to the game. If you…

Roadmap Updates

A pile of old books with the top one left open.

We’ve been cooking since the last update post and we definitely had what to think about. Legacy changes involve entrenched mechanics and often cannot be resolved with bandaids. Not that bandaids help solve or even alleviate many issues anyway, but neither do entire overhauls that drag on for years. We need to strike a balance…

A collection of nautical items rest upon a desk: a sextant, map, rope and compass.

After last month’s legacy mode news, we have been working hard to figure out what that means for the game as a whole.
