Bericsaba Market - Webstaff on 03/08/2025

On the first weekend of Olaesta, the harbor market of Ornath, closed for much of the year, throws open its gates for a highly anticipated annual event. Farmers, poulterers, shepherds, and artisans from across the island descend upon the bustling square, eager to hawk their wares, test their skills, and stake their claim in the island's most prestigious culinary and craft competitions. For one weekend, the market is a whirlwind of voices calling out their goods, the scent of grilled fish and sweet preserves thick in the air, and the clatter of craftsmen setting up displays of finely woven textiles, carved driftwood trinkets, and freshly fired pottery.


Letters have begun appearing in various towns inviting citizens to take part in the contests of Bericsaba Market. The author appears to be Fevronia a sister of the Order of Lumnasi Viragos and a member of the Bericsaba Market planning committee.


Fevronia has cast a wide net.  She's reached out to most major cities and towns, with more to come.  She's open to open up the Bericsaba Market to outsiders for the first time in its history and she's seeking competition!

Ascension: Gemstones - Webstaff on 03/08/2025

Theyyyyyyyyyy're here!

Gemstones have been released upon Elanthia, and Ascension hunting will never be the same. Journey to the Hinterwilds (not the not-at-all similar Hinterlands) and begin your search for the ultimate power. Look to the skies, my friends!

Gemstones are the product of the Development team working in concert, and a huge thanks goes out to every single member of the team for their great contributions. Hugest gratitude should go to GM Nyxus, who put blood, sweat, tears, and a little bit of gemstone dust into this project. Go forth and prosper, brave heroes!

Big thanks to GM Mariath for the epic QC, to GM Xeraphina for helping me figure out how I could make footnotes and annotations less painful, to the Worlds team for your feedback, and to GM Wyrom, who was on board when I said, "So I want to do a thing with Sylvankind, hear me out..."

Isle of Ornath - Ornathian Holidays - Webstaff on 03/04/2025

The Isle of Ornath has long been hidden from the world, though it does have its connections and ways, but much of its customs were not known to the continent of Elanith.  With the mana storms receeding and allow safer, regular travel, we've gained some knowledge of them and their customs.  Here are five traditions/holidays of the Island:

New Age Descriptions Available! - Webstaff on 03/03/2025

After receiving reports of rogue age representation at the recent Duskruin Arena event, registrars throughout the lands have responded by adding a number of new, different ways of more accurately describing ones' age.

All characters have received a one-time age reset to select their age if the new descriptions do not fit your view for your characters.  Additional resets can be purchased from the Simucoins Store.  Use the AGE verb to see the new options, select one's age, and select a fitting age description as appropriate.

New Rare Treasure! Baubles, Keys, Locks, a Mysterious Fraternal Order, and You! - Webstaff on 03/03/2025

The rumors are true. A mysterious fraternal order is inadvertently leaking cryptically engraved relics throughout the realm. Adventurers are advised to be on the lookout when searching creatures, as these rare relics are highly coveted. My sources reveal these prized objects are not mere locksmithing supplies. Rather, they must be carefully paired—like for like—thus completing a bond that will alert the lodge from whence they came.

In exchange for the safe retrieval of these rare relics, the mysterious fraternal order has amassed a cache of baubles filled with prizes of wildly variable power! Having heard that “10 deeds” alone is hardly enticing, the order’s newest pledges have worked diligently to create runes that can be consumed to permanently enhance an adventurer’s abilities. But fret not, dearly departed—the “10 deeds” reward still makes an appearance, along with countless other potential treasures!

AVAILABLE NOW AT A CREATURE NEAR YOU! Will you be the one to unearth these arcane relics and claim their power?

Wisdom of the Ages - Webstaff on 01/01/2025

The new subscription loyalty program, Wisdom of the Ages, is now live.  This is a long term reward system for players who keep their subscriptions active concurrently and log in at least once every month they are billed.  It is available to those who maintain a basic subscription or higher. 

You will gain +2 maximum field experience pool size for every continuous login month. 

If you maintain a Premium subscription, you will gain +0.1 base experience absorbed per pulse for every continuous login month.  Fraction results have a chance to round up.  For example after 8 months, it's 0.8 and would have an 80% chance to round up to +1.  The maximum benefit would be gained after 10 years. 

The account has to bill every month concurrently and you have to log into the character at least once per month.  If your billing lapses or you don't log in, the streak progress will be lost and rewards will reset to the entry level amount.  Like Daily Login Rewards, this is tracked at the character level, so you must log in each character each month you wish to maintain the bonus active on.

Starting on the second month when a bonus starts, you may view your current bonus with the EXPERIENCE verb.
