Crafting and fireplace actions now work properly. Lighting a fireplace, cooking, and other construction skills no longer crash when viewing requirements.

Thursday February 12, 2026

The online player count now updates in real-time based on active WebSocket connections. The count near the connection indicator refreshes automatically every few minutes without needing a page reload.

Wednesday February 11, 2026

Fixed monster activity being permanently stuck at "none" in many locations. If you cleared out all the monsters in certain areas, they would never respawn. Monster regeneration now works correctly across all locations.

Monday February 09, 2026

Changelog dialog got a visual refresh.

Fixed Desert Prince instance paths not showing up (and other similar instance entrances).

Changelog updates are now also posted to Discord.

Sessions now persist across server restarts - you should no longer need to re-login after updates.

Changelog dialog fixed - you can now view the full changelog history again.

Monster spawning fixed (locations now properly spawn monsters instead of just one). Path discovery restored (you now need to explore to find new paths again). Google sign-in is now working. Combat stability improved (less likely to trigger rate limiting during fights).

Updated the resting graphic to be less offensive.

Tuesday September 20, 2022

Thursday September 15, 2022

You can now tip people in credits! Type /tip <characterName> in chat, or click on their name and click the new "Tip" link at the top to tip them anonymously or otherwise. This allows you to send credits to people directly. If you do not see the link at the top, try refreshing.

Wednesday September 14, 2022

Donations were not awarding credit to those who donated. This has been fixed. If you donated and were not credited properly, please let InitiumDev know.

Thursday September 08, 2022

Farming just got a lot easier. While not perfect, you can actually "queue up" a bunch of farming work by selecting an area of the 2D view and doing some work there. Then you can select the next one and setup the next job. There is no visual representation yet to indicate that it works, but as long as you stay on the same page it will continue to work on each job one after the other. This is highly experimental and if it clearly doesn't work in some cases then let me know.

Wednesday September 07, 2022

You can now use /image to display an image directly in chat. You can also click on the displayed images to see it full-size.

Lots of UI bug fixes and improvements for experimental UI. Fixed a bug with classic UI that was introduced yesterday (with character and party boxes being shifted down). Fixed legendary mouse-over. Fixed the item inspection window in wow-like UI because why not.

Friday August 26, 2022

Numerous UI fixes and QoL improvements in experimental UI.

In experimental, when travelling between locations, you will now remain in "travel mode" until you X out of it, making it easier to just keep going. One exception to this is when you enter an instance that is in "top-down" mode.

You can now delete an active quest so it stops bothering you, permanently, without needing to actually complete the quest. You can always restart the noob quests using the big button at the top of the quest list page (under the big white ! button on the button bar). The option to delete the quest is on the quest viewer itself, as well as the quest list.

Added a new "overlay effect" concept to items. We can now have animated (or otherwise) graphical overlays on top of items that can be made as part of regular drops, or skins.

Monday August 22, 2022

Fixed up the new custom store. You can now browse all available cosmetics in the "All" tab. Added a few more weapon types to the list.

Sunday August 21, 2022

All credits are now represented in cents instead of dollars. What used to be 5 credits is now 500.

Added a new kind of cosmetic store that allows you to change the sprite image of an item (without dev intervention). It also utilizes a new "banner image" across the top of the item when clicked.

Changed the look of the "legendary" item names to be more legible and glowy.

Wednesday August 17, 2022

Fixed the "global buffs" graphic from messing up the title bar.

Crystal Island Updates:
Ambush chance significantly reduced
