Administration of Dark Swords congratulate you on the upcoming Victory Day! We wish you never know war, live in peace, without forgetting the great deeds of our ancestors.

From May 8-10 there will be following bonuses:

• Damage vs Monsters X 2.0;
• Profession Experience: X 2.0;
• Religion Experience: X 2.0;
• Clan Experience: X 2.0;
• Combat Experience X 2.0;
• Bounty mission rewards: X 2.0 (valid for missions started during event)

Due to the fact that players are given such a short notice concerning the 2X gold day, Admin has decided to Start 2X gold March 28, 2009 at 900 GMT, This will give all players ample time to hunt.

Due to unforseen circumstanses, the sever was down longer then expected, we have a roll back until 700 GMT All Platinum, Personal arts,etc. will be returned to all players who have lost them. Please make sure the plat is in your bank for this. Any plat taken from your bank has been returned to your bank. But no gold or exp will be returned, but as of 12 GMT the server will give 2X gold for 24 hours, we are sorry for any inconvience this has caused. PLease send any tickets concerning plat purchases (who you bought from, time of purchase, how you paid, and the amount). these will be dealt with ASAP

• If the alliance that controls the kingdom falls apart, the kingdom is considered to be no mans land. There occurs an error, when the kingdom belonged to a nonexistent alliance
