All best wishes on International women’s day. Keep shining and smiling always! A charming woman doesn’t follow the crowd. She is herself! Today is yours and so is every other day!
Be beautiful if you can, be wise if you want to, but to be respected - that is essential! Despite failures - you stand up. Despite sorrow - you cheer up. Despite the pain - you keep fighting! Keep dreaming to fly higher reaching new heights. Congratulations on March 8!

Big Update
The world of DarkSwords will never be the same again. After the invasion of the hordes of Dagfar warriors, we had to retreat. The ancient Druids were able to open their own portal called the Thunder Gate and the inhabitants of the world rushed there. Not everyone managed to escape, but we, the survivors, went to another world, so similar to ours.
Three starting kingdoms have been removed. Instead of them, one kingdom has appeared, which combines all three in spirit, with the main city of New Arkijah.
The 4 regions around New Arkijah are as safe as the city. Access to some regions is closed at a minimum level.
To the west of the new kingdom is the Moon Empire, except for the Reign of Hades, Tartarus, and the Styx Bank.
In the east is the Undeads Village, Copper Rocks, the Millenia Realm (complete) and the Black Realm, which lost the Cursed Castle.
In the south, there is a new kingdom "Mythical World" with the Antica Town, five new regions, a remade region where the Centaurs live, as well as the already familiar regions of Atlantis, the Altar of Ares, Reign of Hades, Tartarus and the Styx Bank. The Antica Town is a peaceful city surrounded by chaos regions with wide exit roads from the city.
The islands are still closed. Boatl traffic will be partially restored later.
Private shops cannot be placed in peaceful regions around New Arkijah, but in the city itself they can be placed in 9 squares called the Market. The rules are the same - no more than 3 stores per location. You can occupy location on a first come, first serve basis - in the order of messages from dealers to the administration. For details, ask with the dealers in the game.
Some recipes cannot be crafted due to lack of ingredients. They will be changed later.
With six cities remaining, Kingdom Battles are now taking place every day except Monday.
Element List in the map window is disabled and will appear in the next version of the client.
Wicked Halloween Everybody! This year we decided to celebrate the Mexican counterpart to this holiday - Día de Muertos known internationally as the Day of the Dead!More info
The Golden Kings scouts report that Dagfars largest army is expected to attack on October 31st at 21:00 server time. Our best sorcerers will try to close the portals that have appeared, while we are waiting for all the fighters of the DarkSwords world in Arkijah to hold back the attack of the main forces of Dagfar. The Golden King himself will lead the warriors to the last battle!
Golden Kings Herald
Demons of Dagfar are destroying our crops, killing animals and inhabitants of the world, destroying buildings. Their number is growing. The Golden King believes the reason for the invasion lies in ancient China. So, he sends the commander of the guards, along with volunteers, to investigate. We move out on October 23, 24 and 25 at 20:00 server time. The maximum number of places in the detachment is 50. Everyone is welcome.
Attention to the owners of private shops, we advise you to be with us on October 31 after 22:00.
We also inform you that THIS ingredients become useless in early November. We ask you to brew the necessary potions from them before the end of the month!
