Updates

Russian site update.

RU-сайт восстановил свою работу на временном хостинге. Большинство сервисов (сайт, картинки, магазин) работают. Не работает вики и сайт может обновляться медленее. Как только наш хостер исправит ситуацию, мы вернемся к нему. Также работает русский сайт дилера (он с нами на одной платформе). В клиенте также должна уже работать графика и магазин при входе на русском языке. Спасибо за терпение.

The RU website host is down. The website is temporarily unavailable. As a result, logging into the client takes a long time, and graphics don't load. Possible workarounds:

• Wait a long time for the client to load and put up with the little bags

• Switch the game language to English or Ukrainian. A VPN may be required.

I'll let you know when there is any news.

------------------

Хостер РУ-сайта лёг. Сайт временно не работает. Из-за этого в клиент долго заходит и не грузится графика. Варианты решения:

• Долго заходить и мириться с мешочками
• Переключить на английский или украинский язык игры. Может потребоваться VPN

Когда будет что-то известно - я сообщу.

• During battles in Heroes’ Arenas, it is not possible to disband a group, kick a player from a group, or leave a group;
• Fixed an error with awarding religious experience to players in the same clan/alliance;
• When viewing a player with a PvP subscription, the character's race is not displayed;
• In the hint for a player with a PvP subscription, information about the superpower (disease) is hidden in the list of effects;
• For orcs, 1 Strength grants 0.5 armor;
• The Accuracy modifier on items has been increased by 83%;
• The Knowledge modifier has been increased by 40%;
• The Cult of Accuracy has been increased by 56%;
• The Cult of Knowledge has been increased by 25%;

ATTENTION! The websites darkswords.net and darkswords.in.ua, the shops hosted on these domains, and the forum are being migrated to a new platform. The new platform will eliminate delays when opening pages and graphics loading issues. The migration may take up to 24 hours. Thank you for your patience!

• The chat rules have been updated. They are now clearer and include the duration of penalties for violations.
• Starting from 13 October 2026, after the server restart, GRA messages will cost 30 PT. Prices in the client will be updated with the release of the new version.
• Weekly PvP events (Fri, Sat, Sun) will now start at 23:00 to avoid interfering with the Heroes’ Arenas.
• Traps and mirrors no longer lose durability during unscheduled restarts or server crashes. Durability is reduced only during the daily scheduled restart.

1. In the new client, the alliance leader can view the territory control color options. If you select a color and members of your alliance control any regions, those regions will be colored in the selected color right on the world map. Let’s see if you can conquer the whole world! ;) Alliances with zero prestige cannot choose a color (alliances with positive or negative prestige can).
2. Hero Arenas will now be open every Day from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM server time.
3. We’re running a small promotion on palladium purchases (it’s been a while). For every dollar spent before October 7, you’ll receive 25 pt.
4. The client has been updated. See List below. You may need to update it manually. Future updates will be automatic.

• The latest forum topics are now displayed on the website (they may disappear if the forum is lagging);
• In the seasonal rankings, you can now view the winners for the entire history of these rankings;
• Rankings for the Heroes’ Arena are also now available there;
• The Library now includes articles on builds recommended by the Administration, with different options and advice on weapon enchantments;
• I have reworked the inner workings of the website shop (and I’m still working on it), so please let me know if you encounter any errors or problems.

The game website has been extensively updated:

• The way character information is displayed has been redesigned;
• Search by items in private shops has been added;
• The Library is still being developed and will become multilingual;
• The Clan Wars and Sieges pages have been visually redesigned;
• Numerous visual issues and design display errors have been fixed;
• Many script bugs and unfinished features have been fixed;
• And many other fixes.

The website is still under active development, so more new features will be added.

• Magnets now work not only based on religion, but also in clan wars;
• Fixed an issue where an escaped mob would still capture a region during a siege;
• Private shop names are now localized in the game and differ between Russian and English. I recommend that shop owners check their names and adjust them through the Dealer if necessary;
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to use the “Spirit of the Five Spheres” subscription as a potion if they had quest gifts containing “Spirit of the Five Spheres”.

• Full backpack loss will now occur only after the 5th+ application of the “Outlaw” effect. The counter resets when the server restarts. You can track which application of the status it is by the chat messages and the level of the “Outlaw” effect.
• During a siege of a region (within the region) or a kingdom (in the capital), it is impossible to receive a new “Outlaw” status or extend an existing one.
