When each service is completed, it should be online and functioning as expected. We ask that you report any bugs/issues to [email protected]. Thank you for your support. 🙏Transfer from Crimson Sea to Ethereal Moon!Dec 15, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWe’re excited to announce that Crimson Sea players will now be able to transfer their characters and homes to Ethereal Moon! Before confirming a transfer, be sure you pack up your land plots. To do this, open the mailbox on your plot, and under the Manage tab you’ll see a Pack Plot option. Once your plot is packed, you can then begin the transfer process. After confirming to transfer your character, you’ll be automatically logged off the Crimson Sea server. Wait about 10 minutes, and your character should show up in the Ethereal Moon character list. If you transferred over your house, you’ll see the Item Storage Management button in the top right corner of your UI. Open this to review the options for placing your house. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/eee65c0c6732f5f1e00eb6cdf69b61512c14fb67.png Don’t see your transferred character on Ethereal Moon? If your Ethereal Moon character list is already full, then the character you just tried to transfer will be moved back to Crimson Sea. Free up a character slot on Ethereal Moon, and then attempt the transfer process again. If you have an available character slot, and still haven’t seen your transferred character after an hour, reach out to our support team at [email protected] or through an in-game help report.What's New With Season 7: Celadorian New YearDec 15, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Celadorians, Season 7: Celadorian New Year arrives on December 14th!

Beginning on Friday, October 16th, players will once again be able to compete for the highest leaderboard rankings and prizes for 1v1s, 2v2s, and 3v3s. This season, we’ve made some notable improvements to Arenas, including new rewards, a new leaderboard UI, PvP tweaks, and adjustments to the matchmaking system. For a breakdown of winners for the Summer 2020 Arena Season, check out this news post. New Arena Rewards This Arena season will feature two unique rewards. Players who earn the 1st place spot in any of the ranked brackets will earn a new Obsidian War Mount. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/8db73f2b50509c115714bfd0a871ac2cc00c8236.png Players who earn a top 10 position in any of the ranked brackets will earn a new Champions Statuette. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/c81ed682fb2a5144510cd2fd3ad07ed1fc488b1a.jpg New Leaderboard UI At the conclusion of each new Arena season, players will be able to visit the Arena Master to see their rankings. This new UI will feature your complete match history from the previous season, including your personal ranked and unranked matches and ELO ranking for other players in each bracket. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/7aae35ee9137a23744505ccf2b609996803991a0.png Matchmaking Improvements We’ve made some improvements to the matchmaking system in order to more accurately match participants with opponents that are close to their ELO ranking. This will allow players to compete with opponents of similar skill sets and enable players to climb the rankings while facing some challenging competition. These improvements will cause players to possibly be matched with the same opponent multiple games in a row, but as those matches progress and the ELO rankings diverge both players will be matched with new opponents of similar skill. PvP Enhancements We have made several tweaks to PvP, and we’re excited to see how these changes affect the dynamics of Arena battles. These changes include: - Sorcery damage no longer interrupts spell casting. - Mage Armor prestige ability now casts instantly. - Added “Reveal” as a sixth circle spell to reveal all objects within a radius of the caster. - - - 6th circle spell, requires Lemon Grass and Moss to cast. - - - Added to the inscription table, requires 1 ancient scroll, 2 Lemon Grass, and 2 Moss to craft. - - - Requires “Line of Sight” to successfully reveal players/objects. - - - Rules for revealing hidden players*: - - - - - Will reveal any player who the caster is in an active conflict with. - - - - - Will reveal any player that is a criminal. *If the caster is flagged to not criminal protect, will reveal all players. Revealing a player that is A) not in conflict or B) not is currently a criminal will cause the caster to gain criminal status upon revealing an innocent player. A Note on Win Trading We understand how competitive our players can get, and enjoy offering Arenas as a structured offering to show off your PvP skills. ...What's New With Season 6: Toil and TroubleOct 9, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Celadorians, Season 6: Toil and Trouble arrives on October 12th! This upcoming season will take place in the West Valusia region of Southern Rim and will feature haunted cauldrons that players must investigate. In addition, we’re excited to announce that this season will run for 60 days. We’ve had a lot of player feedback about the duration of seasons, and believe that everyone will benefit with some extra time to earn the new PVE and PVP rewards. New Dynamic Encounters With the arrival of autumn New Celador is seeing the emergence of a secretive coven of witches toiling away in West Valusia. Should adventures stumble upon any unattended cauldrons they are encouraged to investigate them. However, be wary for their owners do not take lightly to meddlers and are sure to be quite hostile to anyone snooping around. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/8a54402730b4b0531f0998f7010feacc95ff9710.png Spooky Cauldrons Interacting with a cauldron has a chance to cause: One of two (Covener and Coveness) witches to spawn.

Outlands: Development Update Part 1Sep 24, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Celadorians, In this development blog, we’ll be focusing on the latest updates from our Design and World Building leads. For world building, we’ve been hard at work shaping the treacherous and rocky terrain of the Outlands, and will be diving the depths of the Necrothium mines. For design, we’ll be exploring more details about Heirlooms, and how these rare items will enable players to achieve heroic levels of skill. World Building: Necrothium in the Hills {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/610ea141e285a7e4dc750303c102fe0ad81658d8.png Long ago, miners of Celador were attracted to the Outlands with the promise of rich Cobalt veins that could be mined, and smithed into powerful armor and weapons. As they dug deeper and deeper, they stumbled onto a strange, new material. A massive network of glowing blue, iridescent, crystalline material that could potentially be malleable enough to craft into powerful gear. The miners quickly saw the potential of this new material, and there was a new rush to push deeper into the Outlands. With fervor they tore into caves to uncover more of the material. Once the terrifying potential of the material made itself known, the new mineral was given the name “Necrothium”. One of our goals for the Outlands is to offer vibrant environmental storytelling as you adventure through this new landmass. From the outset, we’ve made sure every location in the Outlands is significant to the history of it. Last post, we looked at the general biome of the Outlands. A vast, arid, wasteland full of long forgotten evils. From here on out, we’ll be diving into some of the specific points of interest. Shown here is a quick glance at one the long abandoned Necrothium mines. As the miners would dig deeper and deeper, the Necrothium would often seem to burst from the rock when they dug close enough. Some suspected it had to do with the strange air emanating from it and building pressure over time. The more superstitious miners felt as if the Necrothium was calling to them. Begging to be mined. We’ll have much more to show in the weeks leading up to PR11. This is just the beginning of what awaits for players in the Outlands. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/73d06a5688a6a16617e9f468dd1caa0d9bfc0251.gif Game Design: Heirloom Items Overview {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/3f4bcf24f7ee3853b964744842a484c3475583f9.jpg With the release of the Outlands, players will have access to unique quest lines and encounters which will allow them to acquire Heirlooms. These items will allow players to increase their power in specific skills. Each Heirloom will have a designated skill that can be gained, and depending on the skill, players will have access to new abilities, spells, craftables, or increased combat effectiveness. Below you can find a list of skills which we plan to have Heirloom items for. Please note: This list is not finalized, and may change as development progresses. Heirloom Skills Combat Healing Martial Prowess Magery Crafting Blacksmithing Carpent...PVP Arenas: Season 1 Update and What’s Coming NextSep 18, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Celadorians! We are excited to announce the conclusion of the Summer 2020 Arena season on October 9th, 2020. We saw a lot of players participating this season and our team monitored the arena matches closely to help us to focus in on balance issues between different player builds. This blog will focus on the rewards we have planned for the first arena season and the direction we will be taking for the Fall 2020 Season. But first, we have some stats to share for Summer 2020. Summer 2020 Arena Stats We’ve seen over 700 ranked arena matches played. Below are the current highest ranking players. This is subject to change, as we still have 3 weeks left to go in the Summer 2020 season. Highest 1v1 Ranking: BurntToast ChusterLoL Highest 2v2 Ranking: WizardBoys24 ChusterLoL Highest 3v3 Ranking: teteu1980 Alo Additionally, you can find an infographic below that shows the number of matches played on each server and how many players fell into each ELO bracket (by 100s). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/f5fd0bc265364b3d9053b4909dc920a1afa2e013.png Rewards for Summer 2020 Season What is the point of besting your opponents in the arena if you cannot show off your prowess everywhere you go? For those players that are ranked in 1st in each of the arena brackets (ie. 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3) a unique Crimson Champions Warhorse mount will be awarded to showcase your rank. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/d976b51cffc076c1ba0d52df201ae914c796456c.png In addition to the mounts, each player that places in the top 10 for each bracket will receive a champions statuette which will feature their name, ELO rating, and placement for the 2020 Summer Arena season. These can be prominently featured in player homes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/63c8590e84d766fae8a3119b6831db37cd29fb64.jpg Reflecting on the Summer 2020 Season We’re excited that the first season of arenas was so successful and well received by our playerbase. Not only from those that participated in the arena matches but also to the numerous players who showed up to watch either in-person or via Twitch. The observations we made and data we gathered from this season is being used to drive much of the changes that will be introduced in the second season, including: Mage survivability Improved visibility for player rankings Scheduling future arena seasons One of the big discussions that came out of this season was the need for mages to have their toolkit completely revisited and to ensure they have the spells and abilities they need to be viable in next season. This will be accomplished with Point Release 11 and will seek to address mobility and survivability issues that mages currently suffer from. Another issue we want to resolve with the next season is to provide players with more tools for viewing and comparing their arena ratings with other players. The next season will feature a “Leaderboard” style interface that will allow players to quickly see their rankings compared to their peers and also showcase those players ...What’s New in Season 5: Raging UndergrowthSep 9, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Celadorians, Season 5: The Raging Undergrowth arrives on September 10th! This upcoming season will take place in the Black Forest and will feature new dynamic encounters where players are tasked with culling the Tree Lord population. Here’s what’s coming in this update: New Dynamic Encounters Tree Lord Saplings have begun to spring up all around the Black Forest. The Mages Order of Valus have raised the alarm that if left unchecked, these saplings will mature into full grown Tree Lords and cause a population boom that would threaten the land and livelihoods of all Celadorians who rely on the forest. The most dangerous of areas will be Nosca Grove, which is this month's Chaos Zone. Lucky these saplings can be easily dispatched with the use of a torch. The Mage Order assures all Celadorians that the process is very humane and that those who engage in this service shouldn’t need to worry about the Tree Lords retaliating… at all. New Monthly Rewards Complete a variety of PVP and PVE challenges in the Black Forest this month to earn an exclusive Tribal Mask. Additionally, players will be rewarded with precise maps for the Misha’s Rest and Medeina’s Rest encounters as well as rare potions that will provide a boon to both tamers and pack rats. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/808e05e5467a5bb4cc26d1d96f6d64d44ecd33be.jpg What Are Seasons?

Sneak Preview: Point Release 11Sep 4, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings Adventurers, Development is in progress for Legends of Aria’s next major update, Point Release 11! In this blog, we’ll be covering our goals for this release, with future installments detailing development updates as they unfold. Here’s what we’re focusing on for PR11: Releasing the final official landmass in Celador, the Outlands New Necromancy skills and abilities New Heirloom skill items Overall, our aim with this release is to offer more depth, customization and an improved gameplay experience for our players to engage with. World Building: The Outlands {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/6fb093270f5b2adec2b10aa289d07872ee880b32.png Long ago, the traveling miners of Celador discovered a strange glowing material deep within the mines of The Outlands. A mining accident in the shafts cut off the miners from the outside, and they were presumed dead by the townsfolk. Weeks later the miners emerged from the wreckage, bearing pieces of the mysterious ore which possessed powerful healing properties that sustained the miners throughout their ordeal. A rush to harvest the material commenced, but the power of the ore was greater than any could have known... The gates to the Outlands have remained closed ever since. In this harsh environment, players will finally learn what has been hidden away for so long. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/645150928214a3ce561e7d5d19860782533abd35.png In the Outlands, you’ll be exploring an arid land tainted by a strange power, and scarred by those who would attempt to harness it. In this treacherous, rocky desert, your survival skills will be pushed to their limits as you uncover a long forgotten power. Whether you’ll be able to control that power is up to you. Game Design: New Abilities, Playstyles, and More Pet Abilities While we have a large selection of pets for players to choose from, there is a lack of diversity in how these pets enable players to engage in PVE and PVP content. In the Outlands, we are introducing a new Pet Ability system to Legends of Aria. Each pet will have new active or passive abilities offering different pet types unique roles in combat . Our goal is to reward players for using the right pet in the right conditions, while also allowing for further experimentation with pet mechanics and play style combinations. As always, this will be paired with a review of pet damage output and taming difficulty in response to feedback and balance concerns. Necromancy The Outlands will bring a new set of skills that allow players to practice the lost arts of Necromancy. Necromancers will be required to walk a fine line between life and death with their health pool being their primary resource for using abilities summoning undead minions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/58b77642e4658bc7d71a98d801dadfbe2327ce4d.jpg Heirloom Items Heirloom items grow with their use, eventually bestowing knowledge and expertise and allowing players to reach fabled and heroic levels of skill.

Chaotic players are free to attack and be attacked by others while incurring no murder counts or skill loss upon death. Murderers and other characters who would normally suffer skill loss will be protected from any negative effects while flagged as Chaotic or within a Chaotic Zone. Chaos Zones will appear as locations on the world map and allow players to earn tokens toward their Season PvP reward. These zones will be dynamic and will move as seasons progress. We’re excited to be bringing these additions to Legends of Aria, as well as to see the ways in which these additions enhance how our players experience the game. To stay connected with the latest development updates, including our upcoming Point Release 10, keep an eye on the Legends of Aria Trello board. Looking for an MMO with true risk and reward?

Point Release 9 is Available Now!Feb 20, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, adventurers! We’re pleased to announce that Point Release 9 has arrived, bringing with it some significant content additions! This point release features the introduction of Township Keeps, enhancements to our Militia System, all new Ranked PvP Arenas, a Global Grand Bazaar, all new content for our Leagues of Celador, and many more content updates, fixes, enhancements, and improvements! Read the full Patch Notes here. Township Keeps A great keep has been erected just outside of Militia towns, protecting capturable Township flags. Rival Militias can construct a battering ram outside an enemy Keep, alerting Militia members to an active attack. This gives the defending Militia time to mount a defense. Control of the town is determined by the result of a battle between attackers and defenders once the Keep door is successfully destroyed. New Global Resource: Spiritwood {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/73d37557628319d4f76409ddd9963f3de82534c0.png Township Keeps also introduce our first global Militia keep resource, Spiritwood. Militias can gain this resource through their hold of the Spiritwood King of the Hill. Spiritwood can be used to repair Keep doors and to construct battering rams. We will add additional Militia resources, siege mechanics, and introduce a way for crafters to contribute to their Township safety in future updates, so stay tuned for more information on that! Militia Rank Changes {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/280008868248b237d2f6b3ed425e83238a070355.png Other key changes are available that completely change the ways in which Militias work in Legends of Aria. One of the biggest changes includes a reimagination of our ranking system. Ranks have been reset and now, instead of having only a handful of ranks, we now have the following: Iron I-X Copper I-X Gold I-X Cobalt I-X Obsidian I-X No one wants to feel like they aren’t advancing – or worse, are only able to move backwards. The new rank system is designed to be inclusive and rewarding for everyone who wants to participate. It is no longer a closed system and you will generally gain in ranks as long as you are actively engaging in militia PvP. PvP Arenas {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/023449d47b8da45e67ae7d060509c35727b477a6.png Ranked arena matches will allow players to pit their skills against other players for bragging rights and, once the ranked season ends, unique titles and cosmetics. The arena grounds are located in Pyro’s Landing and have been revamped to give players the ability to utilize line of sight tactics when engaging opponents. Vladimir the “Arena Master” allows players to organize and queue for arena matches. Arena matches come in three categories 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 – all of which have their own ranking so that players can compete in each bracket. Each player will start at rank 1000 in each respective bracket and gain/loss points based on the rank of their opponents and the outcome of each match. There will be different seasons, giving players the opportunity to con...Development Update: January 7, 2020Jan 7, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings, adventurers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33827724/2b2a140ce311d3e3ce5b63d5456d581c52883d6a.jpg Our team is back following the holidays, and we wanted to take the time to wish you all a Happy New Year, as well as to give you a development update.
