Whispers of Theeshara...

Tales of a new place have begun to circulate among the bravest adventurers—a realm steeped in shadows and ancient power. 

Those who dare to speak of it mention eerie encounters and fleeting glimpses of figures cloaked in darkness, eluding even the sharpest eyes. Legends suggest this place is steeped in ancient power, as old as the lords themselves.

The skies are darkening - Orshabaal, the dreaded Demon Lord, is about to strike! His invasion is imminent, and Edron stands on the brink of destruction.

Sharpen your blades, ready your spells, and gather your allies. Orshabaal returns, boasting twice as much health as his last assault. His fireballs and energy beams will leave devastation in their wake—only the mightiest will survive.

The battle begins soon. Will you rise to the challenge, or be consumed by the flames?

We want to send a huge thank you to everyone for the incredible support you’ve given us! These past two years have been an unforgettable journey, and we’ve grown so much along the way. Your trust and encouragement have been the driving forces behind our success, pushing us to strive for more. As we celebrate this exciting milestone, we’re here to say that this is just the beginning, and our commitment to you remains as strong as ever. With your continued support, we’re excited for the many more years of success and collaboration ahead. Thank you for being such a vital part of our story. Here’s to even brighter days ahead!

NPC Panther will be available in all towns (Including Pleasure Island on Rookgaard) until the end of the month. Pay him a visit and ask for a present to celebrate our 2 Year Anniversary, maybe you'll get a surprise! Panther will also be selling fireworks for people who want to celebrate a little harder.

We're rolling out some major updates to how guilds are managed, including new leadership requirements, updated guild ranks, and changes to guild activation rules. These updates aim to improve organization and create a better experience for all guild members. Website changes related to guild management will take effect immediately. The new minimum requirements for active guilds will begin to roll out on October 1st. Until then, existing guilds will remain unaffected. However, once the changes are live, all existing guilds will start in an active state. If you are a guild leader, check out the post on Discord for a full break down of the coming changes.

As we continue to improve and evolve our community experience, we’re making some exciting changes to the website. After careful consideration, we’ve decided to disable the website forums. Their infrequent use and outdated structure no longer meet the dynamic needs of our community. Instead, we’re shifting all community discussions and interactions to our Discord server, where the conversation can be more immediate, engaging, and streamlined. This transition will help bring everyone closer and keep the discussions alive in a more modern, responsive space.

Additionally, we’ll be reworking the Raids page to add an element of surprise and excitement! Instead of displaying the exact dates and times for each raid, we’ll now obfuscate some of the time data, listing the events in order but without specific time details. This change is designed to bring a sense of mystery and adventure back into the game—encouraging players to stay engaged and on their toes, ready for anything!

An Items Library may be soon to follow...

Brace yourselves, for chaos is about to descend upon the realm! The ancient and merciless demon Orshabaal is preparing to launch an invasion that will shake our lands to their core. As the skies darken and the earth trembles, now is the time for heroes to come together like never before. Arm yourselves, sharpen your weapons, and prepare your most powerful spells—this battle against Orshabaal is destined to be legendary. The fate of our world hangs in the balance, and the tension is rising as the invasion draws near. Are you ready to face the darkness and claim victory?

As we gear up for our 2nd anniversary celebrations, we’ve got some exciting teasers and surprises in store that we’ll be revealing later this month!

Plus, to mark the occasion, we’ll be offering limited-time and new items in the shop. This is your chance to grab some exclusive gear that will only be available for a short while during the anniversary celebrations!

New Modern Client Update

New Modern Client Update!

Greetings adventurers! We're excited to announce that a new update for our modern client is now available. To get your hands on the latest features and improvements, simply restart your client.

Here's what's new:

Classic Client Style Conditions Panel
Now, you can enjoy the nostalgia of the classic client with the implementation of the conditions panel. Although it has been moved, you can still keep track of your character's speed value conveniently in the Skills window.

Client Options Menu Rework
We've removed some redundant and unnecessary options to streamline your experience. Additionally, all menus have been redesigned to evoke that classic feel.

Enhancement to Skills Window
We've added a right-click context menu to the Skills window. Now, you can easily hide or show progress bars for each of your skills.

Introducing "Smooth Walking" Option
Experience smoother gameplay with our new "Smoother Walking" option. This feature compensates for higher latency connections that encounter "step lag" when using the Arrow Keys. We recommend enabling this option if you're experiencing issues with walking on higher latency connections. However, if you don't encounter any stutter or step lag, feel free to leave this option disabled.

Client Updates

There will be a mandatory client update after server save today, March 30 05:00AM UTC.

You will need to restart your Nostalther client after server save to date to receive updates. Failing to restart your client and receiving updates will mean the client may not be able to log back in due to some changes on the server and in the client. 

This update applies to both the Modern client as well as the Classic client for Violet and Retro.

If your client is not updating and you have tried re-downloading the latest client, you may also need to clear your client cache. 

  • Press Windows Key+R
  • Type in %APPDATA%\Nostalther\Nostalther
  • Delete the file named data.zip

Anyone using the mobile client will need to re-download the application.

Thank you and happy hunting!

Housing System Changes


image

After much thought and gathering feedback from @everyone in the community regarding the statue of the housing market on the server at the moment, a number of changes currently in the works will be coming to the server soon. The goal of these changes isn't to try and negatively impact anyone, but to instead just provide a more fair ground regarding house ownership on the server. These changes will be aimed to be implemented by February 1st. 

To purchase a house, you will require a premium account. Small houses with 1 or fewer beds and 25 or fewer tiles will no longer be available to free account players. A new limit will also be introduced that prevents the purchase of more than 3 houses on a single account. In theory, this would allow for up to 1 guild hall, 1 house on the mainland, and 1 house on Rookgaard, but the houses you choose could simply be 3 mainland houses. This will not impact any existing houses that are owned but will prevent the purchase of more on characters within that account. Sleeping in beds will require a premium account. If you are a free account player, you can still have access to house/guildhall beds by being invited to the respective house, but you cannot sleep in them. The premium account feature of being able to eat extra food will remain unchanged. Players who currently own more than 3 houses per account are encouraged to begin organising sale or transfer of some of these houses to an alternate account. If assistance is required transferring the houses to alternate accounts you have, you can contact me for assistance.

The [!buyhouse] chat command will be removed, and instead, houses will be purchasable using an auction system from the House/Houses section on the website. This will prevent people from sniping/hoarding houses for a low cost and will instead provide a fair option for all who wish to bid on a house. A house auction end time will be at server save 5 days from when the auction began. If a player bids on a house but fails to pay the auction price and the first month's rent when the auction ends, the account will receive an account ban for 7 days. Excessive abuse/interference of intentional auction spoiling may result in further action. Similar to how rent is paid, the money for the auction and the first week's rent will need to be in the depot of the town the house belongs to.

The [!sellhouse] chat command will also be removed, and instead, an option to transfer/sell houses from the House/Houses section of the website will be available. If you look up the house you own on the website, you will be able to see a section to specify a character you wish to transfer the house to and a price if you want to sell the house. You will be able to transfer houses to other characters on your own account as well. When creating a house transfer request, the target player will have until server save 3 days from when the request was created. If the house transfer request is not accepted, the house transfer request will be canceled. The owner of the house and the target player will both have the option to decline the offer; however, if the offer is accepted, there will be no way to cancel the transaction from that point on.

image

Some fixes to how rent is paid have also been made. The rent due date will now be 1 month from when rent was due, instead of when rent was paid. This closes an abusable 7-day window of being able to pay rent on the last day of rent payment warnings, effectively getting up to 7 days of free rent. Furthermore, if a player loses premium account time, the rent due date for any houses they own will be brought forward, and the player will begin receiving rent warning notices. This will give you 7 days to add more premium time to your account or otherwise lose ownership of the house.
