• Christmas 2007!

Due to the reset falling close to Christmas, we will complete a scheduled reset as normal. We aim to have changes such as city moves and event claims will be completed between the 26th and 28th December.

• TIXX System

We apologize for the downtime on the TIXX system, it's back online. We've added the Christmas Event to the TIXX event claim form if you do not have a default mail program setup on your account.

• Christmas 2007!

Santa suits! Now available in the store. Click here to download the content (Note: If you download the content, you will have to use the HelGame.exe. to load the game) Unzip the files in in your Helbreath/Content folder.

• Christmas 2007!

Helbreath USA would like to wish you a Merry Christmas! In order to celebrate the Christmas season we're going to be giving away lots!

Check out the Christmas event details here!

• Halloween Winners!

Is the old saying "winners are grinners" true? Well just ask the following people who've won. We'd also like to apologize for the extended delay on announcing the winners, this was due to some technical difficulties.

Essence of the Bottle Winners:

1. WTB
   
2. Switcher
   
3. Muppetje

Tainted Candy Winners:

1. Muppetje
   
2. Zako Guild

The prizes have been placed on GMCandy to be awarded to the players in game. Congratulations!
Item Upgrades will be done during the next scheduled reset.

• Daylight savings & Halloween comes to an end

We'd like to remind everyone that Daylight savings time has changed the times around the globe again, this will mean that the times for the Crusades and Sieges could have changed for you.

If you're outside the time zone of the server check out this web site for the server time. Remember that the Crusade held on Thursday goes by Sydney local time.

You only have a few more hours to get your Halloween competition entries in! We'd like to thank everyone for their participation in the event and hope that everyone had fun. If you've got any screenshots of the event, please e-mail them to Game Master!

• Month of Halloween goodies

Warning: Be careful when you leave the safety of the inside! Abaddon has been able to morph Orcs in to Werewolves, Slimes in to Cyclopes, Snakes in to Clay Golems and Scorpions in to Hellhounds! Merlin in the Wizard Tower with the help of Devlin were able to stop the magic before it spread to any more monsters or any more maps beyond town.

The Halloween events are coming to an end soon! Be sure to get as many candies and bottles as possible. Email your total count to Game Master with a screenshot of your bag (or warehouse) with your total amount. Be sure to include the prize you want and the item you want upgraded.

Prizes will be awarded once the validation process has been completed. All items will be removed from game after the event is over.

• Month of Halloween goodies

Halloween is near, City Hall has come under attack!

Safe zones are currently not working. We will be doing another reset some time over the weekend in order to fix this issue. In the mean time, play with care. Changing maps and recalling to town is at your own risk. Going "afk" is at your own risk.

We are aware that some of the Halloween items are still unsellable to the shop, we plan to fix this at the same time as the safe zones. In the mean time keep them stored in your warehouses!

• Month of Halloween goodies

October is the month for ghouls, ghosts and ghastly critters to roam free across the lands. Throughout October Abaddon's powers are enraged! Tainted Candy and Vile Bottles will be dropped from monsters, but be sure to get in first as only a set amount will drop each day. You can either hold on to the Tainted Candy and Vile Bottles to collect them, sell them to the shop or trade them, be sure to read the event details for more information on prizes.

See here for more details.

Hail!

Helbreath USA is offering a unique position within the company to one stand out person. We're looking for an experienced coder / programmer who has knowledge of the game Helbreath.

The successful applicant must be able to work quickly, diligently and be able to work in an online environment. The position is on an as needed basis and has the potential to span on to other iEntertainment games along with other future endeavors with Helbreath USA.

• Map updates

Death Valley and Silent Woods have had the spawn rate of Ogres, Werewolves and Ettins increased making it easier to quest.

• Scheduled server reset information

On Monday the 10th September 2007, the reset will be 2 hours early, starting at 5pm. This is for game server maintenance. We expect this to be an extended reset. Any major updates will be posted on the web site.
We expect approximately 2 hours

• Siege

We've completed a Siege information page! That should include all the information you'd want to know about the Sieges.

• Help guides

We've also put up a PayPal / Gift Voucher guide to help you pay with PayPal.

• Map updates

Eternal Fields and Rocky Highlands have had the spawn rate of Stone Golems, Rudolph and Orcs increased. Both maps have also had a substantial increase in monsters overall.

Be sure to check out our new look monsters page! Including all the monsters and their raw base stats!

• Map Updates

After an overwhelming response from player feedback on the Promise Land test, we're reopening the map to being a max level of 140! However, civilians will not be allowed to enter the map. Given that Promise Lands is a high spawning place it's a great place to train, it also comes with risk of some player versus player action.

In order to give civilians and those wanting a place to level their characters in peace during the week we've reopened the Rocky Highlands and the Eternal Fields to civilians.

In the coming weeks both the Rocky Highlands and Eternal Field maps will be experiencing a few spawn changes to make questing there slightly easier for lower levels. At this stage there are no planned changes to Promise Land pit spawn areas.

• Promise Land Test

We'd like to thank everyone for taking part in the Promise Land test, your comments on the forums and emails have been very informative. We will take what people have said in to review for any future changes.

Send us your thoughts on the change via e-mail, or have your say on the forums.

• Promise Land Test

We are currently conducting a 2 week test in Promise Lands. The level limit has been raised to 140 and civilians are allowed to enter again.

Send us your thoughts on the change via e-mail, or have your say on the forums.

• Helnews Update

We've got good news and bad news! Bad news is the Wish Balls didn't drop however we've made some progress. Until further notice, if Wish Balls start to drop with out an event posted on the web site, do not trade for them as it will not be an event. We will not be able to undo any trades, so make sure you check the web site first.

Sadly, we've had to remove the DC Portal quests. They continued to remove gold instead of rewarding it. We have increased the maximum contribution for the previous set of quests so that players can continue to get lots of it!

Good news time! Are you sick of accidentally clicking on a power green when you meant to click on an invisibility potion? Miss-click no more! The color of Alchemy Potions has been changed so that they are no longer all green, this includes all alchemy potions including hair color change, sex change, ogre potions and super power green potions! Power green potions have remained green.

The weight of Skeleton Bones getting you down? We've slightly reduced the weight of skeleton bones.

• Notice, Wish Balls - Do not trade for them!

On the 28th of July we will be making sure the configuration for a Wish Ball event is correct, so balls will [hopefully] be dropping in all appropriate maps (Farm, Town, Gardens and other back maps, the Middlelands and Promise Lands).

Also on the 30th of this month we are making sure that the configuration is correct for having Wish Balls drop in specific maps only (both towns).

Please be aware that there is NOT a Wish Ball event. Do NOT trade the balls, sell them to the shop.

Give us your suggestions on what you'd like to see for the next Wish Ball prizes! A few large prizes? Lots of small prizes? We want your opinion!

Be aware that all Wish Balls will be removed from the server prior to having the event. Be sure to sell them to the shops for gold!

• Bonus EXP!

To apologize for the recent rollbacks we are giving 400,000 Exp to everyone! This Special Offer is a ONE TIME SHOT and is only available for characters above 20th level. Once you have completed the form below and logged in your character will be immediately given the experience points.

• Helnews Update

The DC portal maps have been returned to their original state. Players will now be automatically recalled when they disconnect from these maps. The maps were changed to combat the current client issues however, using the prevention methods this has been Minimize.

The sell price for caught fish including Carps, Sea Brim, Mullet and Salmon has been doubled.

• Helnews Update

Abaddon has been thinking up a devilish scheme to attack the towns. He is using Friday the 13th as an excuse to attack both Elvine and Aresden! Wiliam was able to gather enough information about the incoming attack from the people conquering quests and has ordered extra defenses to help protect the towns.

Hellhounds and Golems are said to be amongst the array of monsters attacking the City Hall. The extra guards Wiliam has ordered will help protect the front stairs however; he'll need your help to keep the pathway clear.

Be aware when raiding this weekend if you raid the towns to stay away from the City Hall in case you get caught by the extra guards!

In other important news, McGriffin has been seen talking to Tom inside the blacksmith. Our sources say that the pair has been over heard to be talking about extra mines in the Dungeon located in the Middlelands. In an interview with McGriffin he told us the following.

"I got lost in there, so started looking around the place a little more. To my surprise there was a mine in a place I'd never seen before! So I kept looking around. I was able to count at least twenty new mines!" Later in the interview McGriffin also commented on the increased monster activity within the area.

Congratulations to the following competition winners!

JUICEMAN for being the first person to get 1000 Cont! JUICEMAN claimed a DM+4 necklace!

Wiliam for the 4th July Screenshot competition! Wiliam gets his choice of a crimson red or pink dye!

Images here!

• Helnews Update

Loyalists of Abaddon, Combatants and Civilians alike be warned when you venture outside the safety of the buildings during the week of the 4th July.

Abaddon is again trying to take over the towns. He's planning on sending forth his minions to try and conquer all.

William the City Hall Officer has heard word of the attack and will be offering double experience points for all monsters that are red, white and blue to ensure that the evil is sent back to where it came from! Sources say that Abaddon will be sending forth an army of his most evil minions after a great battle. We believe this to be the Siege, so keep your blade sharpened, hammers blunt and wands charged!

• News Update!

We've got some great news that we're sure everyone will love! GOLD! Lovely gold!

Half price pots. Now you find it almost impossible to send yourself bankrupt buying pots if your town doesn't win the siege.

Some rings and necklaces have had there sell price increased.

Selected alchemy parts have had their sell price increased.

All farming produce have had their sell price doubled.

The sell price of fish has been increased.

The 800 contribution quest has had the rewards upgraded to reflect the quests difficulty.

• Design your own D3 - THE WINNER IS!

Congratulations to Shibiz for the winning D3 Design!

Along with the random spawns we all know and love D3 is now chock-o-block full of Hellhounds, Zombies, Skeletons, Golems and more...

Along with a new Cyclops pit there's with Liches roaming through the middle of the pit and a dangerous Demon to tempt your fate on.

• Server Change Information!

Our users have been giving us valuable information on the testing of the client and have discovered that playing with out sound reduced the crashing by almost 100%! We recommend that users login and press ctrl s twice, disabling the sound immediately once they login to the game from their character screen.

So far the only other hiccup has been during the siege which will be corrected for next time where we will have a Battle Field Siege to reset the castle defenses.

• Major Server Change imminent update

We're LIVE! Thank you to everyone for waiting while we transferred the files from the old server to the current.

Please be sure that you download the new client here and extract it in to your existing Helbreath USA directory overwriting the existing files.

Do not use your current auto updater to download the files you MUST download this file.

Please remember that the client is still under the "testing stages" and something that we are still working on. Feel free to send in information that you discover in order to assist us with the testing to gamemaster[at]helbreathusa.com. We would like to remind everyone that we are aware that the client crashes however this is only temporary. Once the problem is fixed we will then look at forms of compensation.

• Helnews Updates

Hail and well met people of Helbreath! With all the fuss and bother over the new client we've been able to sneak out some top secret information about what's changed on the new server. We've got a bunch of leads however we'll give you the "hot tips" for what to expect when you first login.

The Stone Golem pits in Elvine and Aresden have been reduced slightly but don't fret the pit in Icebound has been adjusted. Now the Stone Golems spawn on the top level and not spread around every where like crumbs after breakfast toast!

With the recent changes to the Middlelands we've heard news from the powers that be, that the location of 2 of the Mana Stones has been relocated to a near by location. The new locations will possibly bring about an interesting new tactical method of base building and attacking.

Tentocles! Yuck! We've been able to intercept communication between the monsters that the Tentocles have been the focal point of a few heated discussions between monsters who are annoyed that they are being killed by their own kind. In order to keep the alliance between monsters, Tentocles have given up their Lightening Bolt ways and have chosen to cast Lightening instead to avoid the cross fire of their fellow monsters.

Given that the powers that be are aware of the client crashing the Heldenian and Apocalypse maps have had the auto recall upon disconnection removed, and recall enabled on Procella and Abaddon maps. We've been told to make sure that people understand that this is only while the client is buggy and will be changed back to normal when the client is fixed.

• Major Server Change imminent update

Hail and well met!

There will be a small roll back as we were unable to get the latest back up however, this is only 24 hours from when the server went down. There has been a delay in the transfer of data. Given that we are trying not to damage any files in the transfer process we are taking extra special care of your characters and items so that we don’t loose anything or anyone!

This was all to be expected and we hope that everyone has taken screenshots of their items and levels. Please do not make TIXX until you’ve logged your character in to see what’s changed.
(Note: Trades will not be redone, as this is something that players can do in game).

We’re in the process of transferring the data from our backup FTP to the actual server.

There is currently no estimated time for the server to be brought back online. Although we are aiming for it to be completed as quickly as possible and will keep you as up to date as we are!

• Major Server Change imminent update

We've heard word from the powers that be to expect Thursday to be "the day" that the current server goes offline. We do not know the exact time that this will occur, so we are unable to pin point when the change over will happen. We anticipate that there will be a few hours down time while we arrange the swap over. However, this time is an estimate not an exact time , we will keep you all as updated as possible.

Please remember to take screenshots of new items (new being dropped within 48 hours). We recommend that you do not do any excessive training or Eking, if you do please take appropriate screenshots. Be sure to have the chat window (F9) open.

Our testing with the client has continued and we will release any information we've discovered in order to lessen the impact that it will have on you when we provide the client for download. Please let me remind you that the client is known to crash while using XP. Please note we will provide appropriate compensation once the problem is fixed.

The main site will be updated with information on where to download the new client and instructions on how to proceed when it's time to do so.

We will post an updates as soon as we get them in order to keep everyone on the same page.

• Major Server Change imminent

In an effort to provide better service for our games we initiated a move of our games to a new ISP. This caused a situation between iENT and the current ISP of HBUSA that we want you to be aware of.

We have been setting up the new HBUSA server with our new ISP so that it would be fully tested and ready to go but the current ISP may shut down the live server before our new client is completed. We had expected to be able to take our time with this by leaving the game on the current ISP but that is not feasible. The companies are dealing with their issues so we cannot discuss those further.

We have the client that we are still working on, but our schedule had been set up without the urgency it now requires. It is possible to use this client to connect but it crashes. We continue to work on it and have another programmer scheduled to be available soon to assist in finishing this project. He is returning from emergency family leave. In the meantime we request your assistance in reporting any issues that we have not found thus far.

We understand that this changeover may cause some issues for some players. We will take care of those issues on an individual basis. After the changeover, we will also hold some events specially for players who make it through this trying period. We think you will like the rewards we will provide those loyal customers.

The change over to the new server will occur on June 6th, 2007 sometime after 8 AM. We are trying to provide the change over without any rollback; however, we anticipate that there could be a small roll back. Please do not complete any trades, upgrade your items or excessively train after Jun 4th, 2007 until the new server is completed. If you are lucky enough to obtain a drop please make sure that you take a screenshot of this with your character screen and chat screen open. We cannot be certain that the live server won't shut down sooner. We are trying to be as up-to-date as we can.

Thank you for your patience at this time.

• Design your own D3!

See here for more details

• Wizard Wear

Wiliam was sitting at his desk, tapping his pen on the dark wood when he looked up smiling from ear to ear with an idea. Quickly he grabbed his trusty feathered quill and started jotting down notes. He rushed over to the Blacksmith to see if his idea was possible. After a moment of bamboozlement followed by shock then amazement the Blacksmith nodded stating boldly "Of course I can!"

Collect the items listed and create a Wizard Cap or Wizard Hat!

Be sure to check out the special offer thats only available to Wizard Wear when it's being completed.

• PAK file editors, be warned

We've been randomly checking PAK files for people who've edited their game files. While we're pleased to say that there wasn't been there has sadly still been some. Until now the punishment for this has been some what in the dark. As of today any one who's caught with edited game files in anyway will loose:

• All Hero items on the account (plus remaining eks and any flags)
• Up to a total of 25% exp (5% for each hero item they don't have, if the character has Dark Knight they will loose all items including weapon which will NOT be restored with it's current upgrade when the character hits 180 again)
• Removal of all contribution points
• -3,000 reputation.

This punishment is steep however editing the game files gives you an unfair advantage over others.

It will not matter if you share your account and it's one of the people you share with that gets caught, you are responsible for account and you've allowed the person on it.

When a Game Master contacts you, you are not to disconnect as this will be viewed as suspicious behavior and will place you on an alert list to be checked again. Repeat logouts will result in an account lock. Refusing to take the screenshot will be viewed as having pak edits and your account will be punished accordingly.

• Bug abuse, new look helms and quest info!

Heya folks it's Lucky "Cookie" Koo coming at you with the latest and greatest news for Helbreath USA! Today I've got a range of news from an item update to a rule amendment so be sure to stay tuned and read it all because it could have an impact on you.

The Helbreath Game Master Team have been getting reports of people abusing crusade points, as a result the laming rule has been changed to include the laming of crusade points. This means that people who've previously been using characters from the enemy town to obtain points are putting themselves at risk. See the rules section for more details.

Another thing that you might have noticed by now is the change in Dark Knight Helms! While they still say "Dark Knight Full Helm" they now look like wing helms! See the forum topic here with screenshots! (Thanks to everyone who posted them!)

Some of you higher levels might have noticed that there's a new quest. We've been told that while this is still in the planning stage, there are 2 quests that 170 - 180 level characters can do to obtain more than 700 contribution points (max of 800 at this stage). A total revamp is in the works of the quests so that players can get the most out of completing them.

That's all for now!

Remember to tell your friends about Helbreath, for every person you get to subscribe YOU get 100,000 EXP!!! See here for our Recruit a Crusader details.

• Orc Migration, Castle Siege zones, and a new quest!

Hail and well met citizens of Helbreath! This is Lucy "Cookie" Koo coming to you with what we believe to be the last in a series of updates for a short while in order to let things settle back down.

First of all the reset was finally completed. Our sources are unsure whether or not the problem is solved. However the reset was completed successfully! Name changes and character transfers were done; item upgrades and other such character edits are being completed as possible. We've been told that the tool is being some what troublesome, causing admin a lot of grief, so the TIXX will be slowly completed.

Elvine: We here at the Helbreath news desk have got some hopefully exciting information for you! Are you sick of trying to get in to the warehouse only to find that Devlin is trying to do the same thing? Well we've been told that Devlin in Elvine has been given the same "quit it or you're fired!" talk as Devlin in Aresden was given. No longer will your door way be blocked by Devlin.

Fearing for their lives, the orcs in both towns have relocated and increased in their numbers for protection. While we've not got exact coordinates, we can tell you that Elvine's pit is located south of the map, and Aresden's pit is located to the west.

Our major story will have an impact on the Castle Siege events. The Heldenian Ramparts map has 2 spawn points and previously it was only the winners of the last siege who got the benefit from a safe zone. As of the next siege event both towns will have one.

The defending town's safe zone has been slightly enlarged. This is to make the "boxing" of this safe zone slightly more difficult, requiring more than a handful of players to do so. The attacking town's safe zone has been added to the spawn point where they'll appear. This is to stop the defending town from disabling all attempts to enter the map itself. Boxing will be more difficult, and if necessary we've been told that these areas can be increased in size again.

There has also been an additional quest added to test the waters. As normal you obtain the quest from the City Hall Officer. Killing 22 Mountain Giants within the Middlelands. This will allow people to bring their max cont up to 800.

No guards were fired in the making of this update!

• Server reset, update

Due to extended technical difficulties out of iEntertainments control we are unable to do a reset at this stage. However, we are working around the clock in order to fix the problem. We understand that players are waiting on the reset in order to complete their requests and changes, we apologize for the extended delay and will get things completed as quickly as possible.

• Wolfbane attacks, winners announced!

Thank you to everyone who joined in! The towns are safe once again.

Congratulations to:

• Abuz0r, for getting the kill hit on Wolfbane.
• PorcaDio, for getting the GMs choice award.
• Zuko, for getting Wolfbane's choice award.

See here for the Gallery!

• Wolfbane attacks, extended

We are extending the time period of the Wolfbane spawn event. There will be no reset this weekend. Any changes will be done during the next scheduled reset.

• Wolfbane attacks *

Werewolves have begun to notice that they just have not been striking enough fear in the hearts of the townspeople like they used to. They are constantly harassed in their pits and even when they venture away for a little exploring, they get paralyzed and killed by a random warrior or mage. They thought that maybe it would be safe if they travel in groups of nine or ten, but they would always fall to their knees when a passing mage comes and castes blizzard on them. Many werewolves believe that perhaps they have lost their touch and just aren't to sure about what is to become of their race any longer.

• Spawns
• Screenshot competition and
• Crim char!
  
  What more could you ask for in an event!

You must defeat Wolfbane and restore order!

*might require an additional reset to ensure the properties of the event run as intended

• Screenshots

We've updated our screenshot section with 3 additional pages including March Mania, Guild competition and random screenshots. We hope you like them. Thanks to everyone who submitted their screenshots and posted them on the forums.

Congratulations to Ysel of Elvine and Muismat of Aresden for winning the guild screenshot competition!

• Guards, Devlin, Orcs Oh my!

Heya folks! Lucy Koo here with the latest updates for Helbreath USA!

We're sad to say that the Elvine guards have again been fired, and replaced by an additional 2 guards. They've been told to stand by the recall pad or else. The previous guards were caught snoozing behind the building.

Devlin has been told to stop walking in front of the Aresden Warehouse for the last time. The poor old man was walking around with ear plugs when he noticed all the commotion going on around him. He apologizes for the trouble he's caused and promises not to stand in front of the door way again. Lets see if he sticks to his word.

Orcs have been found roaming around the town over the past few weeks. Locals have said that they have been migrating towards the ponds where fishermen have reported random attacks. Those sneaky little green devils will scare the fish away if you're not careful!

We've also had reports that the Orcs are coming from the farm of both towns.Travelers screaming in fear running away towards civilized areas of the farms. We believe that there's a small infestation of Orcs to the east of both Aresden and Elvine's farms.

Mages can breathe a sigh of relief. No longer are you forced to follow a warrior around beserking them and relying on their partners experience - Ok you didn't really have to rely on them, we know your strong all on your own! We've been told that there's a strange combination of monsters located by Middle Island of the Middlelands. We anticipate that this area will be fantastic for lower level groups or a mage who can handle his or her wand and enjoys PvP!

• Manual changes

If you're trying to complete a character transfer or name change etc and either party (person sending, person receiving) has been unable to complete the Character Transfer form you will need to email Game Master - ONLY the person who is unable to complete the form is to email.

Please include your full name, account that you're trying to complete the form for and what it is you're trying to do (send, receive, name change etc). Be sure to include a print screen of the failed notice for verification.

• Dupe item update and FAQ section updated

We've completed going through the items on the server, we are currently dupe free. Please be aware that if the server crashes the chance of having a duped item is possible. If you think you've got a duped item, please create a TIXX requesting more information.

Our Frequently Asked Questions section has been updated with important information for both old and new users. Be sure to have a quick read. You don't want to miss the important information such as:

Be sure when signing up an account
that you do NOT use the same login and password
as you do in other games and online services.
(This includes other Helbreath servers)
This could lead to your account being at risk.

• Server roll backs = Duped items. Trade at your own risk

The recent crashing of the servers has resulted in duplicated items (dupes). We're currently in the process of looking through the logs in order to remove them.

We're not accusing players of duping the items, simply removing the one that shouldn't be in game.

Dupe items are created when the server hiccups and isn't able to save the data. When the server is rebooted, the most recent copy of your character is restored. If you've transferred or traded items to another user the restoration can create a duplicate item, this is abuse and against the terms and conditions. By not notifying iEntertainment you are putting yourself at risk. If you're unsure whether or not an item has been duped, contact a Game Master.

Items that have spawned from the 1 user are being removed from this person. We believe that they've knowingly passed the item while holding one with the intent to hold the other for safety.

Items that have rolled back to another user are being removed from who we believe to be the owner of the item. This is at Administrations discretion. If you disagree with the decision please contact us via email.

If we can see an exchange for the item, this has been undone. If the items were traded, but are not logged as being an "exchange" we are unable to assist you since we can not confirm this as a trade.

Please be aware that knowingly trading the items off will result in the item not being returned to you.
Attempting to hide or any other strange behavior with an item will
be viewed as suspicious and could result in further punishment.

Emails are being sent for each item that's been removed.

We aim for this to be solved as quickly as possible. We recommend that you do not trade for any large items at this stage. If you wish to check the validity of an item you're trading for please create a MISC TIXX and we can verify this for you.

If you find that you've got a duped item on your character, please sell 1 (doesn't matter which) to a shop keeper. If you're unsure, please create a TIXX. Be sure to keep both copies on your character (Warehouse the copy). Do not pass the item around or trade it away as this could be viewed as intentional abuse and result in punishment.

Should you have any further questions on the issue please create a MISC TIXX within the Helsupport system.

• Reset

We will not be completing a reset at this stage, due to the one completed earlier to bring the login back online.

Any name changes or character transfers will be completed throughout the day along with any other requests and chances.

• Guild Screenshots

Until the end of the siege this weekend (22nd April, 2007), we're offering the chance to win yourself or your guild 200 scavenger parts! All you need to do is take a screenshot of your guild. The best screenshot for each town will be put on the web site. The more people you have and the more creative you are the better!!!

• Abaddons change of plans!

We've had our ear to the ground since the sudden and exciting introduction of the Stone Golem pit to towns. We're pleased to say that we've discovered a migration of Ogres in the north west of the Middlelands. What's commonly referred to as the "Elvine Ogre pit" is now located further south. The Ogres have become lazy and no longer wish to track up and down the ramps. Their position within the Middlelands was quickly snapped up by a random group of monsters who were roaming around close by.

There has also been migration in the south east side of the map. The "Aresden Werewolf Pit" has been moved further to the south. The Werewolves no longer wished to be separated from each other half being up on a hill while their buddies were stuck below them, so they moved. Random spawns have spread around in to where the old Werewolf pit was located.

There's been a major change to the Siege winners teleport point. Now, both towns teleport by the Middle Land Mines.

The most exciting news we have at the moment is the introduction of a large monster mix pit consisting of Ettins, Mountain Giants, and Stalkers. The location of this pit is in the western area towards the middle of the Middlelands. Be careful! We've been investigating the area and have found that it's going to be difficult, however an area that both a warrior and or a mage can enjoy.

This is Lucy "Cookie" Koo, bring you the latested and greatest Helbreath news! Be sure to stay tuned for more updates as we get them!

• Map Updates!

This is Lucy "Cookie" Koo bringing you the latest and greatest news. This just in! We’ve had numerous reports from all over Elvine and Aresden of Stone Golems have been appearing almost as though they are a pit! Our source says that this is indeed a fact! There are a few other changes to the towns that we’ve gotten, so here’s our report!

Elvine
• There has a noticeable presence by the shop recall pad, the 2 guards that have previously wandered south have apparently been fired and replaced with 2 new guards that stand firm and protect their town!
• Reports of the Scorpion pit relocated within Elvine have been confirmed! It’s now south west of the map where the snake pit used to be located.
• We’ve had reports of Stone Golems being seen within town. This is true! A Stone Golem pit has been placed within Elvine below the scorpion pit!

Aresden
• We attempted to walk in to the City Hall and found that we could actually do it, we were not spat back out by an unknown force. There is no longer a way to reset timers in Aresden
• The scorpion pit in Aresden has been relocated to the east of where it was, previously a slime pit
• Stone Golems have replaced the old scorpion pit!

What does this mean? It means that both towns can now enjoy leveling in their towns, with a risk!

Do you dare to level in the pits, or will you be a sneaky little devil and raid the enemy towns!

Be sure to stay tuned for more updates. Check it out in game now!

Love is in the air! GMLiche has gotten really in to the loving spirit of things with Valentine's day coming up. She's gotten a temporary name change to GMLove and will be beautifying the community by giving out Pink and Crimson-Red dyes. However, in order to obtain a dye you must first prove your worth in battling it out against others. GMLove will be holding a series of PvP events during the day after the Crusade.

Also Fire Wyvern's will be spawned throughout the towns to help heat things up! So be prepared when venturing out in to the town that you don't get smacked with a fire ball of love from a Fire Wyvern!

• Player Participation Petitioned!

On the 9th of February we will be holding a 24 hour test to see if we can find a new use for existing programming of the game. We request that you help us. The Middleland map will be the testing area. We need as many people as possible targeting the Cyclops, Werewolves and Ettins to see if our special drops, drop.

If the drop rate is as we intend, we can create a whole new style of events. Wine and Beef Ribs will be dropping. You'll be unable to sell them to the shop, and they'll be of no reward use at this stage. The test period will go for a total of 24 hours. All Wine and Ribs will be removed from the game until further notice once the test period is over.

So please be sure to login and help us kill!
