In the next few weeks, the face of Alyria will dramatically shift as manipulative Knaves and the aquatic Sahuagin march across the land.

Changes to look forward to in v4.4:

• A new race of humanoid shark-people, the dangerous Sahuagin
• The new thief class Knave, masters of deceit and dirty tricks
• Many new archon-level marks and bosses
• Over fifty new skills and spells, distributed to all classes, including 4 new combat commands
• Hundreds of new items, available from new villages
• Dozens of small-to-intermediate bugfixes across the board
• Several new mechanics, such as drowning changes 'ominous' and 'psychotic' combat changes; and per-skill bonuses that alter spells' and proficiencies' behavior
• Race remorts for existing characters that want to play as Sahuagin and/or Knave without recreating a new character
• ...and many more. For further details, see the site changelog.

In addition, to welcome back returning players who have not signed on for over a month, their expired contribution items will be automatically renewed for a day for every two weeks they were gone, up to 5 days.
