The Daemon Moon has left the sky and things are returning to normal in the Old World.

All heroes who have participated in in the fights have one more week to claim their rewards.

Cool winds blow across the empty fields of Reikland, wiping away the memory of sun-bleached grains and summer days. Thoughts turn now to the long, bleak nights of the coming winter, and the foreboding darkness that accompanies the death of another year. The sickly green visage of the Chaos moon begins to flicker and change, and the superstitious people of the world hide themselves away behind locked doors, and pray not to fall prey to the foul terrors of the Daemon Moon.

Now, with the war in full swing, the horrors of the Daemon Moon are worse than ever. Malevolent creatures borne out of the fabric of Chaos itself descend upon the world like daemon locusts, intent upon devouring the souls of every living creature they encounter.

The Daemon Moon shines its baleful light down upon the world. The screams of countless tortured victims mingle with the howls of their daemonic tormentors. Who will stand against the hordes of Chaos?

Update 3:40pm EDT: The fix is now live.

We are about to apply the following hot fix to all servers. Please be aware that the location of the foreman is about to change in T3 and T4 - this might effect ongoing sieges. We’ll update the Herald when the update is live.

Realm vs. Realm

In response to player concerns over the way Keep Foreman generate New Outer Doors, the following changes have been made:

1. Foreman in T3 and T4 have been moved to the outer wall, into the room directly above the outer door *
2. The time it takes for Foreman to process a New Door order has been increased to 90 seconds
3. Messaging has been added that will go out to everyone in the area alerting them to:
• when a new door has been ordered

  

• an update at every 30 sec mark of the process

  

• a notification when the Foreman’s ordering has been halted

  

• a notification when the Foreman restarts the ordering process from the beginning

  

• if the Foreman was killed while processing an order

 

• if the Foreman successfully completes processing the order
4. The Foreman will now enter his cower state when the keep door is attacked by a ram **

* Having the Foreman in this location will force defenders to be more mobile throughout the keep area, rather than turtle in the inner keep. It will also make the Foreman far more exposed, and accessible to attackers, so actively defending him will become more important.

** While an order for a new door cannot be made while there is a ram active, an order already in progress does not get canceled if a ram is placed at the inner door after the fact. This line item is intended to make it far more difficult to complete the process without stopping it completely.

The sounds of celebration and battle can be heard throughout the Old World. Fireworks, cheers and the roar of battle rings in the ears of combatants from both Realms…but there are murmurs across the land of ancient powers being called forth and resources being gathered for the frontlines closest to the capital cities..
