Hello dear Illarion fans!Good news! Installation of the VBU is almost complete. We expect to open our server for your entertainment at January 1st 2013.If you notice the server being on-line before that date and maybe someone running around there, this serves the purpose of some last minute polishing.

Dear Illarionites,today, an era comes to its end. With the end of the VBU plot, we close an important chapter of Illarions's history. During today's final event, starting at around 20:00 GMT, you can bid farewell to Gobaith.After the event, we'll ... [More] shut down the server until the release of the VBU. We'll announce the date of the restart of the game any time soon.But first - celebrate christmas!Yours,GM Estralis [Less]

Dear Illarionites,We are happy to announce that the long-awaited "Very Big Update" will be released within the next few days. This update will affect all aspects of Illarion and you will find yourself playing almost a brand new game after it. Our ... [More] developers currently work on the final details and prepare the migration of character data. The release of the VBU will result in a downtime of the game for a few days. During this time, the server, database, client and all game scripts will be updated.In this context, we'd like to announce that a series of ingame events will accompany the release. During these events, your characters will leave the island Gobaith and enter the main land of Illarion. We are more than excited to finally present you the Illarion mainland, a new world for new adventures and epic tales. With this step, a new era will begin and the plans of the original creators, Bror, Alatar and Baldur, to leave the then-unnamed test island and enter the Illarion mainland become reality.This means that after the update, your characters won't be able to access the depots on Gobaith anymore. This includes the mule depots. Only the inventory of your characters will be migrated to the new world. You will be able to access all depots at a place you can access from the northern skeleton forest to chose those items you want to keep in your character's inventory.Very few items will be negatively affected by the transfer. Old treasure maps of Gobaith will, of course, not be of any use in a new world. Furthermore, magical gems will lose their effect due to massive changes to the magical gem system.Personally, I'd like to thank all involved developers for the spent effort. When we decided to take the massive steps that were baptised "VBU" back in 2009, I doubt anyone expected this update to become so impressive. The development of Illarion will not stop with this update, the VBU is only the beginning of Illarion's future. Some game aspects such as magic will not be included in the VBU, so there will always be something new that can be released in future!Yours,GM Estralis [Less]

Fellow Illarionites,some changes were done to peasantry. In detail, we've adjusted the way grain grows; after the final growth stage, the grain will vanish after an extended time instead of "replanting itself". In this context, the times of the ... [More] growth stages were adjusted for all crops. You will find out that crops grow faster now.The changes will become effective with the next server reload. This may take a couple of days. Please note that with the "very big update", some more changes to peasantry will come - so stay tuned!GM Estralis [Less]

Dear players,due to massive abuse the planting of trees was deactivated.Illarion is a game that benefits from the freedom a player has to shape the game world around him. But this freedom also means responsibility. Since some players cannot handle this responsibility we had to take this measure.We apologise for any inconvenience.GM Estralis
