  • Slimes
  • Ants
  • Snakes
  • Orcs
  • Zombies
  • Scorpions
  • Skeletons
  • Golems
  • Howlers
  • Cyclops

v1.22.28

New version v1.22.28 now available for download and auto-update.

  • Updated background terrain to use higher resolution textures
  • Updated maps to reflect new backgrounds
  • Add santa suits
  • Make safe mode hot key (default HOME) reconfigurable

v1.21.6

Small update to correct a problem seen with recent AMD graphics card driver updates that caused frame rate to drop tremendously when drawing some of the special effects. The most noticeable being the dust effect when you run was causing the FPS to drop below 20 in most cases. This no longer occurs with v1.21.6

v1.21.4

Small patch to v1.21.3 to correct issue with Cape of Destruction sometimes displaying on maps where it isn't available

Thanksgiving Event

For a limited time, there are turkeys running all over town. They have a chance to drop some good items and have a quest that any level can do which gives a lot of experience. Hunt some turkeys!

v1.21.3


  • Add Cape of Destruction
  • Add limited time turkey quest and turkeys fluttering throughout town

This update adds the Cape of Destruction which can initially be picked up from the ground in the Contested Land. This cape greatly increases all damage to whoever wears it, but only one person can ever wear it at a time. This item ALWAYS drops if the owner dies. This item is also LOST if the owner logs out or leaves the Contested Land (it resets to the ground for another person to take it). Also, the map in CL will always tell you where the cape is and who has it. Take down the owner and the cape is yours!
