The big news of the week!

🌟 Dear friends!
Thank you to everyone who took part in the testing of the Dark Swamp dungeon!
We are entering the final stage of development — it took a bit longer than expected, but the test results truly impressed us.
The system turned out new, unique, and genuinely interesting — and in just a few days it will be open to all players!

🏆 The first heroes have reached level 80!
A truly remarkable moment for our server!
The first two players to reach the cap level 80 are:

🎉 Baza
🎉 Flayer

Their journey was difficult, especially since leveling after 75 is only possible on Dragon Island — a zone where every mistake can cost you your life.
We sincerely congratulate both heroes — you have set a very high bar!

📚 1. New Wiki — now available!
We are completely redesigning the game Wiki.
About 70% of the content is already ready, and you can use it right now:

We continue to add articles, organize data, and update guides in real time.
Thank you for your patience — soon everything will be polished to perfection!

💳 2. New payment method — now works worldwide
We have added a new global payment system covering even more countries.
Payments should now go through much more reliably.
Old payment options still remain available.

👉 Payment Method: “Worldwide”

If you previously had issues with payments, they should now be resolved.
If something still doesn’t work — please contact us:

📈 3. Advertising returns — improved marketing
We paused ad campaigns for 7 days to improve:

• registration
• game login
• download process
• beginner quests
• early-game adaptation
• analytics
• data tracking & conversion

Now everything is ready, and this evening or tomorrow morning we are relaunching ads with large budgets.
Thank you for supporting the project ❤️
Your activity directly strengthens the game and helps us grow.
