The weekend is upon us! It's time to relax and have fun! We've enabled X2.5 rates on Damage vs Monsters, Gold dropped by Monsters, Experience Gained, Religion Experience Gained, Clan Experience Gained, Bounty Rewards, Quest and Tournament points.
Prisms - special items which can be obtained in PVM or PVP in a random order. Each prism contains one or more different items. Prisms themselves are divided into three types: the most common is Blue Prism of Power, rarely - Yellow Prism of Might and the rarest - Red Prism of Majesty.

Open Letter to Amber Games
(Updates)
Since we've been advised by our law team to cease any communication with Amber Games until the court proceedings are over, we'd like to ask the players themselves to forward this message to Amber Games representatives.
It came to our knowledge that the people posting on behalf of Amber Games on their website of dubious legality published a news piece in an attempt to defame our company with accusations of hacking the users. It goes without saying, such aberrant behavior needs to stop immediately. We sincerely sympathize with those who have been affected by the hacks, since, you know, some of them we consider our users as well. We certainly don't want this situation to tarnish the reputation of Dark Swords as a whole.
If those "awesome" engineers employed by Amber Games go ahead and deploy an unstable server platform alongside with the out-of-date revision of game client which may have had known vulnerabilities, it is now absolutely the duty of theirs to sort out this situation and restore the belongings of affected users. Just like we did every time similar problems occured in the past. If you need assistance please feel free to contact our staff to help find the lost items and currency with the necessary tools such as log file analyzer.

State of the Game
(Updates)
Good day.
Let us introduce ourselves: we are High Tower Entertainment. We’re the company which developed and continues to support this game and we also own the rights to the service and all associated properties, such as Dark Swords trademark. The contract to license the game with Amber Games was signed by a private individual who is no longer a CEO of our company and hasn’t been with us for a while. Moreover, the contract period expired substantial time ago no matter if Amber Games claims otherwise. In this circumstances we were forced to take over the service and continue supporting it on our own. Nevertheless we are in talks with Amber Games and other parties to sign another licensing contract.
We would like to dispel any rumors which have recently started circulating: we have no plans to shut down the server, nor do we have any plans to merge servers or user bases in the foreseeable future. There might be inter-server events such as tournaments coming up soon, though! Furthermore, we are the original and only developer and thus are able to provide a quicker turnaround to resolve the issues with the game and implement new features especially those suggested by our community.
So, what are we doing right now? Until the end of the week we plan to fully restore payment functionality and issue tracker system and start recruiting admin and moderator staff.
We are also preparing new events and promotions, and have a feature in the pipeline where players will be able to collect Prisms containing valuable potions and other consumables previously unobtainable by the players who did not wish to spend platinum on them. There are also new pets, quests and events, achievements, better "roll dice" system and plenty of other things coming up very soon.
Stay with us and we will do our best not to disappoint!
