Greetings Lorfolk, and welcome back to another Dev Update!
We’ve continued to chip away at the next expansion to Lorwolf, Chapter 2: Dark Horizons. This next installment of the campaign will touch upon the theme of cooperation - where Lorians must come together to try and confront the various threats plaguing the lands. In the spirit of this cooperation, we are excited to reveal our progress with the upcoming Guild feature!
Players can create a guild in exchange for a certain number of pebbles, or join an existing guild that is accepting applications. Everything Guild related can be found under the Community tab. Click on Guilds to start forming your alliances.
Once on the guild page, you can select to create a Guild by clicking the Create New Guild button. Decide on your Guild Name and pay the requested amount of pebbles to create your Guild.
After your Guild has been created, you can find it on the Guild page or on the Community drop-down box.
Once a Guild has been created, it can be customized. Create a Guild description and application questionnaire, open or close applications, set member ranks, and adjust member permissions, such as which ranks can withdraw from guild storage or not. Customize your Guild description and applications to show off what your Guild is all about!
Navigating to the new Guild page will pull up a list of all active guilds in the game. This list includes details like the number of members, the Guild Master, guild level, and whether or not they are accepting applications. Clicking on the name will bring up that Guild’s home page and display whatever application process it may have.
Once you have joined or created a Guild, you can begin participating in Guild Activities and earn Guild Vouchers!
Explore Wars - Fight against other guilds to control a portion of territory and earn rewards. Ongoing Wars are shown with spinning arrows. Only one guild at a time can control a zone till the next War on that territory. More zones will unlock with the Dark Horizons expansion.
Guild Bosses - Team up with your guildmates and battle against mighty bosses once per day. Defeating a boss grants various rewards and unlocks the next, more powerful boss. Climb up the ranks of bosses to gain greater rewards for your guild!
Guild Shop - A brand new shop that sells voucher exchanges, food, currencies, and other valuable items purchasable with guild vouchers. Upgrade the Guild Shop via Talents.
Guild Chat - Converse with others in your guild in a private live chat!
Not only are there numerous Guild Activities, but Guild members will also receive unique benefits as your Guild levels up and grows.
Talents - Enhance your gameplay experience by unlocking talents in the Guild, Den, and Profession talent trees. These talents provide special buffs to members’ regular daily gameplay - just for being a part of the Guild. These talents affect all members within the Guild, new and old. As your guild grows, you can unlock further features such as more guild member spaces, more guild storage slots, and new guild bosses. Talent Points are earned after every level increase.
Guild Storage - Allow members to store and withdraw items and pebbles for Guild use.
Sapphire Springs - Unlock this special moonwater source that can be used once per day to restore all of your wolves' stamina to full.
Yes, we plan on Guilds being an optional feature that provides specific enhancements not essential to standard gameplay or progression. For example, one talent in the guild system grants increased water and compost regeneration speed, allowing for slightly faster farming. Another talent enables Koda to catch 1-2 extra fish. This way, guild players can enjoy special rewards while not having a huge advantage over solo players. Additionally, guilds need only have 1 member, so solo players can create a guild just for themselves to receive these same benefits.
Our team will continue development behind the scenes on Chapter 2: Dark Horizons and keep updating our community with more information on the new features it will introduce.
In other news, Autumn has arrived in Loria, and our artists are working hard to prepare for the first-ever Darkspine event, which will begin on October 1st.
Thank you all for your support so far. We are looking forward to what is to come for our community. We are open to any and all feedback about Guilds. Your input is essential for making this new feature as fair and enjoyable as possible!

Greetings, Lorfolk, and welcome back to another dev update! This month, we’re thrilled to share more details about Chapter 2: Dark Horizons, unveil new insights into Archaeology, and give you a sneak peek behind the scenes. Read on to discover more:
What’s new?
Additional Expansion Features
Archaeology
Chapter 2 Campaign Sneak Peek
Additional Chapter 2 Features
Our coder JimJim has been hard at work on various new expansion features, including the Mole Market redesign, Archaeology, and many QoL updates. Additionally, there are several new features in the works that we plan on having finalized for launch; seasonal bosses, a vault system, guilds, and real-time events like notifications and live-chat! We’ve updated the Dark Horizons Expansions graphic with these new features:
Archaeology
Lorwolf’s Archaeology system will be composed of a grid of hidden treasure spots that players have to carefully dig to reach. Similar to the Mining system, fossils must first be processed, or “cleaned,” in order to retrieve their hidden rewards. Shown below are four rarities of fossils players will be able to find. Each of these fossils will contain valuable materials, apparel, trinkets, or other special items.
Chapter 2 Campaign Sneak Peek
Our writing team has been busy the past couple of months putting together the quest dialogue for chapter 2. Meanwhile, the artists are focused on tackling Campaign art like backgrounds and NPCs. Shown below is a sneak peek of each pack’s new quest hub:
As a reminder, we do not have a set ETA for when Chapter 2 will be launching, however, we will announce the date as we draw closer to give Lorfolk time to prepare.

Wind sweeps across the dunes carrying a warning… the Goldsea Seasonal event has begun!
Icerun. Murkwood. It was apparent that Chaos would try to weasel their way into another land. Goldsea was prepared when the Consumed came marching over the dunes, the arid sand sticking to their limbs. Tents lined up at strategic checkpoints offering shelter from the heat to any helping paw. The fight was not just against the Consumed but the very land itself here. Rally your pack and join the Goldsea tactics against Chaos’ influence. Read about Goldsea’s encounter with The Consumed here.
During the entire month of July, players can earn Goldsea Vouchers by completing various activities around the site. These Goldsea Vouchers can be spent within the Goldsea Seasonal Event Shop.
During this event, Goldsea Vouchers are rewarded by releasing wolves to help fend off The Consumed in the vast dunes of Goldsea. Goldsea players will also earn double Goldsea Seasonal Vouchers when wolves are released. Go to any wolf page and click on the Tree symbol to release wolves.
You can locate these Seasonal Activities on your Activity bar by selecting the switch button at the top right and the Goldsea Seasonal Page under the Play dropdown. Like daily Activities, more Seasonal Activities will appear on the taskbar after completion.
Completing the above Goldsea Seasonal Activities will award points towards your Seasonal Progress to earn rewards and additional tickets. Note: Players may have made some progress in the seasonal event before release, so some seasonal activities may appear completed.
You can also unlock a Pebble Path upgrade for 200,000 pebbles to unlock the Epic Radiant Set. Optional copies can also be bought for Seasonal Vouchers. The Epic Radiant Set will retire after the event and will be placed in the Shining Goldsea Cache.
Goldsea Arena: A PvE version of the site's regular Arena mini-game. Players can fight against 5 packs of The Consumed with no time limit between rounds. Stand above The Consumed and take 1st Place for 5 Seasonal Vouchers.
Goldsea Trials: A version of the Gauntlet mini-game where players fight consumed enemies. Reorganise your team between rounds to push yourself to the limits. This game differs from the original, however, in that beating and earning rewards for each round can only be done once per seasonal event. How far will you go this season?
The Chameleon and Elandi have been discovered in Goldsea’s shimmering sands. Collect these seasonal companions available for Seasonal Vouchers in the Goldsea Seasonal Shop.

Are your lorwolves hopeful to aid, curious researchers or perhaps… agents of Chaos? No matter their interests, some of the Consumed Companions are willing to join your pack. You can find them available for Seasonal Vouchers in the Goldsea Seasonal Shop. The question now is will you be able to resist the temptation of Chaos that they bring?
Knowledge brings forth rewards. Goldsea locals have set up apparel to buy for Seasonal Vouchers. Get cool in the heat with the Grassland, Twilight and Noxious Sets or bring with you your Sun Eagle companion to relay tactical information back to the Goldsea scholars.
A new forum decor and banner is available to purchase in the Seasonal Event Shop. Enjoy the rays with this sunny set.
As we continue to keep taking on player feedback from the Murkwood and Icerun Seasonal Events, a few changes have been made.
Feedback was given that all items should be available at the beginning of the event and not split up in two sections to allow our users more time to collect multiple copies. All recolours will now be made available at the beginning of seasonal events.
In both Icerun and Murkwood’s event we received feedback about the availability of the Consumed Bosses. We are happy to say that the Consumed Bosses are now planned to be obtainable via a future update to Seasonal Events.
As always, thank you to our community for all the feedback.
Good luck in the Goldsea sands, Lorfolk!

There are just 24 hours left of the Murkwood Seasonal Event before the shop closes until next year. This is your reminder to buy the items you want from the Seasonal Shop. Merry marsh wading, Lorfolk! May Luana give you strength.
Spring tidings, Lorfolk! Spring arrives, and the swamp blossoms to life in Loria. There’s much to unpack here in this Dev Update, so let’s dive in together.
Description: The Direwolf breed is a relic of the past. Once hailed as Luana’s Warriors, modern Direwolves have now spread out further than just their native home of Murkwood. They are a large breed with dense wiry fur more akin to a Colpach’s pelt than other Loria breeds. They typically weigh between 95 to 140 pounds and stand 36 to 44 inches tall at the shoulder. They have a noticeably short tail, a large maw with equally huge teeth, and a powerful, heavy set of shoulders, which allows them to throw their entire weight on their foes, crushing them with both tooth and body. Their bite sports an array of deadly bacteria, making even just a graze enough to cause serious harm.
Behavior: Direwolves prefer to hunt alone, stalking their prey before rushing them in one fell swoop. Whilst they can be aloof, they have a soft spot for those who prove themselves in battle. With their focused and loyal personality, they make an impressive sparring partner. They have become accustomed to teaching other Lorwolves their ways and skills in modern times rather than remaining totally outcast from others.
Direwolves have long since stopped being Luana’s Warriors, but when push comes to shove, Direwolves can call upon their roots and go into a battle frenzy. Power will course through them, buffing their already powerful abilities beyond their limits. After calling upon this power, a Direwolf will need to rest for several days. Direwolves can often be found sunning themselves on hot rocks or by fires after a particularly rough fight.
You can purchase a Breed change scroll for 300k pebbles in the Mole Market.
With the new breed, we are working on a system to add new poses to existing CA easily. We have made the Direwolf .psd files available for our community to use, and we look forward to releasing the new system soon.
Check out our Direwolf Launch Raffle to enter the draw for a chance to win a Direwolf Breed Change.
Spring, swamp and skirmishes are the very essence of Murkwood. A red hue has overtaken Loria. With that, the Murkwood Seasonal Event has begun! New apparel, new companions, Murkwood’s Consumed and new forum decor. Check out the lore page of Murkwood’s encounter with The Consumed here and the entire event post here.
As requested by Lorfolk feedback, the Plain pattern has arrived to let your wolves' natural bases shine. Create more unique combinations to get your wolves precisely the way you want them. You can purchase these patterns at the Mole Market for 20k pebbles.
Spots, spots, spots! Go wild with the Leopard Pattern, available now in the Mole Market for 75 ms.
Lorfolk can now purchase a Totem of Whelping speciality item from the Mole Market, which bypasses the pregnancy cooldown and triggers birth immediately. The Totem of Whelping can be used via a player's inventory; simply select the item and click "Use." Players will then select the expecting wolf they wish to give birth, which will then immediately send the wolf to the Nest. From the nest, you can then click “Give Birth.”
Are teeth and claws not enough to show how fearsome you are? Get tough with the brand-new Spiked Collar apparel. Spiked Collars recipes are available in the Mole Market to purchase.
They're dainty-looking, yet they have a glare meaner than an angry Nytha. Don’t fall too much for their cuteness; they’ll happily take a bite if you rub them the wrong way. These grumpy little fluffballs are available in the Mole Market for 100ms.

The Consumed's numbers begin to wane, and the end of the battle is in sight. Take to Murkwood to finish chasing off the remnants of Chaos' influence.
With all that work, our Lorwolves have been getting mighty hungry. As thanks for your assistance in Murkwood, the locals have taught you ways to spot new fish. Not only that, you've been taught new recipes to cook! Get frying up those tasty shellfish.
Word also has it that some special little friends can be found swimming in a fishing spot near you. Aerofins love to play around lorfolk that come to the water's edge. Have a chance to lure a school of these fishies to join you on your travels.

These seeds can be purchased from the Farming Festival Shop.
Happy harvesting, Lorfolk!
Spring calls forth the fauna and flora to awaken… the Murkwood Seasonal event has begun!
Chasing the Consumed from Icerun’s borders only gave Loria a brief respite. Months trickled by, all seeming quiet. Yet the Consumed, relentless in their desires to twist Loria to Chaos’ bidding, were lurking. Inch by sludge-filled inch, the Consumed crept into Murkwood, hidden by the dense foliage. Chaos, the malevolent force that once haunted Loria centuries ago, has bubbled forth again, his eyes now latched onto Murkwood. Rally your pack and join the Murkwood brawl against Chaos’ influence. Read about Murkwood’s encounter with The Consumed here.
During the entire month of April, players can earn Murkwood Vouchers by completing various activities around the site. These Murkwood Vouchers can be spent within the Murkwood Seasonal Event Shop.
Murkwood Vouchers can be earned in the following ways:
During this event, Murkwood Vouchers are rewarded by releasing wolves to help fend off The Consumed in the dense swamps of Murkwood. Murkwood players will also earn double Murkwood Seasonal Vouchers when wolves are released. Go to any wolf page and click on the Tree symbol to release wolves.
You can locate these Seasonal Activities on your Activity bar by selecting the switch button at the top right and the Murkwood Seasonal Page under the Play dropdown. Like daily Activities, more Seasonal Activities will appear on the taskbar after completion.
Completing the above Murkwood Seasonal Activities will award points towards your Seasonal Progress to earn rewards and additional tickets. Note: Players may have made some progress in the seasonal event before release, so some seasonal activities may appear completed.
You can also unlock a Pebble Path upgrade for 200,000 pebbles to unlock the Epic Bloodmoon Moss Set. Optional copies can also be bought for Seasonal Vouchers. The Epic Bloodmoon Moss Set will retire after the event and will be placed in the Muddy Murkwood Cache.
Murkwood Arena: A PvE version of the site's regular Arena mini-game. Players can fight against 5 packs of The Consumed with no time limit between rounds. Stand above The Consumed and take 1st Place for 5 Seasonal Vouchers.

No brawl or bite goes unrewarded. Murkwood locals have set up apparel to buy for Seasonal Vouchers. Strike fear into those who oppose you before you even lift a paw with the Moss Sets or take one of the Sludgeamanders with you to display your powerful alliances.
Two more recolours will be revealed throughout the event.
A new forum decor and banner is available to purchase in the Seasonal Event Shop.
Thanks to Player feedback from the first Icerun Event, a few changes have been made.
Feedback was given that too many items were retiring and that too much pressure was being put on the community to collect excessive amounts of apparel before it went into caches. With this to consider, it has been decided that only Epic versions of the seasonal apparel set and two sets of companions will soft-retire into their Pack-related caches. This means that only the Epic Frostbite Winter Hunter Set, Cave and Giant Frostspinner, Glistening Crystalapin and Crystalapin will soft-retire from the Icerun seasonal event. The other items will remain in their respective seasonal shop for years to come, and all to enjoy collecting at their leisure. The affected items have had Icerun Seasonal Item 2024 removed from their description.
As an apology for the change, Lorfolk who have collected additional Icerun sets can message Quiche#460 to exchange their Icerun pieces for the Epic Frostbite Winter Hunter Set or Icerun Seasonal 2024 Companions until the end of November, 2024. Just send a trade with the Icerun Seasonal set pieces which will be exchanged to the Epic equivalent or Icerun Seasonal Companion requested.
More changes have been implemented, including removing the seasonal activities, “Combine 60 pieces in the seasonal arena” and “Purchase 60 pieces from the seasonal arena shop” for better seasonal activity quest flow. Please check the patch notes here for more information on all our changes.
Thank you to our community for all the feedback. We welcome any and all feedback on how our events can be improved in the Suggestion Forums. As mentioned during the Icerun Seasonal Event, we aim to continue building upon these seasonal events and site lore as time passes, with more new items and gameplay to enjoy.
Good luck in the Murkwood swamps, Lorfolk!
Direwolves jump the Loria scene, and to celebrate, we’ve put together a raffle for three lucky winners to claim a Direwolf Breed Change.
Just post a demo of a Direwolf or your own Direwolves down below to enter the raffle.
Please post one demo per entry. You can enter up to three posts for a max of 3 tickets.
The raffle will be closed on April 8th April 15th 2024 11:59pm ST then drawn on April 16th. Apologies for the sudden changes; I was taken ill this week.
Kajji handed you the greasy, still dripping parchment. The same black liquid from the Frostbitten Patrol reports coats the new letters Kajji nudges towards you. You know better now not to touch the stinging fluid.
Days had gone by. The swamps had become silent except for the barely audible snap of a branch or a bubble popping the infested waters. Stranded from my Coven, I awaited aid but feared they would not come.
Stepping into my study, I peered down from my treetop home, the only thing that had saved me from the initial wave of the Consumed stalking the edge of the waters. Food runs were becoming harder to maintain as I stripped the nearby resources bare.
It was dawn when I observed the Nytha drink deep of the abyss-like water and slither off, leaving behind thick, dark trails. Another of the Consumed.
It was impossible to go further out without terrible risks. I hardly know when they will strike next, for the Consumed appeared as naturally as the wind blows through the trees. Days became weeks, and hunger and fear had long settled deep inside of me.
I begged Luana for strength, shoved my snout to the ground, and was met with a piece of paper I had never seen before in all my years of study. The rough parchment was etched with a powerful image of a wolf I had only heard of in passing. It filled my senses with a powerful, wild, and deadly aura.
Had Luana heard my pleas, or was this an insidious plot when I was at my lowest? I admit that I was too weak to consider the consequences of the latter and slammed my shaking paw to the etchings.
Runes lit up around my paw, travelling up to encase my body. My teeth grew twice their size, yet I felt no pain. In fact, I felt as if another were against me, brushing their paws to reshape me and recreate my outer shell. What was once a humble, sleek form became hulking and strong. The floorboards of my roost creaked under my weight.
I had thought my connection to the Elder Wolves in my blood would be severed when I was made anew, yet it stayed alongside a more primal energy surging within me. Donning my armour, I made a vow to myself. Tonight, I would no longer be hunted but become the hunter. I leave this message for my Coven. I walk among the trees alone now.
Luana, I carry your might.

Change to Profession Expansions
And our final news for today, Cooking and Mining expansions have been changed from Moonstones to Pebbles. With our notification refund tool's completion, all Moonstones previously used in expanding the Cooking pot and the Mining cart has been refunded and can be claimed in players’ messages.
You can find out more here.
We're thrilled to kick off 2024 with a slew of new updates, including the Cooking Camp and Farming Festival weekly events and details about our inaugural seasonal event, showcasing the frosty battlefield of Icerun!
A winter's chill is in the air… the Icerun Seasonal event has begun!
Rumours speak of a darkness that has touched the most desolate border of Icerun. Elders speak out, recounting old tales from their ancestors. Chaos, the malevolent force that once haunted Loria centuries ago, has resurfaced. No creature is free from his influence, and those that are too slow to escape become possessed, or as the lorwolves call them, "The Consumed." Rally your pack and join the Icerun fight against the first chaotic whispers that threaten to shake Loria to its core. Read about Icerun’s first encounter with The Consumed here.
During the entire month of January, players can earn Icerun Vouchers by completing various activities around the site. These Icerun Vouchers can be spent within the Icerun Seasonal Event Shop.
During this event, Icerun Vouchers are rewarded by releasing wolves to help fend off The Consumed along Icerun Borders. Icerun players will also earn double Icerun Vouchers when releasing wolves. Go to any wolf page and click on the Tree symbol to release wolves.
You can locate these Seasonal Activities on your Activity bar by selecting the switch button on the top right, as well as the Icerun Seasonal Page under the Play dropdown. Like daily Activities, more Seasonal Activities will appear on the taskbar after completion.
Completing the above Icerun Seasonal Activities will award points towards your Seasonal Progress to earn rewards and additional tickets. Note: Players may have made some progress in the seasonal event before release, so some seasonal activities may appear completed.
Update 1/7/24: We've updated the number of Icerun vouchers you can earn from your Seasonal Progress. (20 > 200, 35 > 350, 50 > 500, 75 > 750, 100 > 1000)
You can also unlock a Pebble Path upgrade of your Seasonal Progress for 200,000 pebbles to unlock the Epic Icerun 2024 Seasonal Frostbitten Winter Hunter Set. Optional copies can also be bought for Icerun Vouchers. The Winter Hunter Sets will be soft-retired after the event. As of today, our plan is that soft-retired seasonal items will be placed into the Frozen Icerun Cache that will be available for Seasonal Vouchers in future years. We welcome feedback on this information.
Icerun Arena: A PvE version of the site's regular Arena mini-game. Players can fight against 5 packs of The Consumed with no time limit between rounds. Stand above The Consumed and take 1st Place for 5 Seasonal Vouchers. Note: We are aware of the bug with the rewards showing the wrong typo placement rankings. This is a visual bug, however the rewards are correct.
Icerun Trials: A version of the Gauntlet mini-game where players fight consumed enemies. Reorganise your team between rounds to push yourself to the limits. This game differs from the original, however, in that beating and earning rewards for each round can only be done once per seasonal event. How far will you go this season?
The Crystalapins and Frostspinners have been spotted across Icerun. Collect these Icerun 2024 Seasonal companions available for Icerun Vouchers in the Icerun Seasonal Shop. The Crystalapins and Frostspinners will be soft-retired after the event. As of today, our plan is that soft-retired seasonal items will be placed into the Frozen Icerun Cache that will be available for Seasonal Vouchers in future years. We welcome feedback on this information.
Are your lorwolves hopeful to aid, curious researchers or perhaps… agents of Chaos? No matter their interests, some of the Consumed Companions are willing to join your pack. You can find them every year available for Icerun Vouchers in the Icerun Seasonal Shop. The question now is will you be able to resist the temptation of Chaos that they bring?
Availability:
Icerun Consumed Companions will be available every year in the Icerun Seasonal
General Consumed Companions will be available every Pack Seasonal.
Notice: Consumed Boss and retired variants of the Companions are too powerful to be recruited and will not be available for purchase.
Grateful for your help on the Icerun border, Icerun locals have set up apparel to buy for Icerun Vouchers. Keep warm with the Winter Hunt outfit sets and take a break to celebrate winter activities with a Snowwolf and Poinsettias.
The Poinsettia Garland, Poinsettia Headpiece and Snowwoof will be available in the Icerun Seasonal every year for Icerun Vouchers.
The Icerun 2024 Seasonal Winter Hunter Sets will be soft-retired after the event. As of today, our plan is that soft-retired seasonal items will be placed into the Frozen Icerun Cache that will be available for Seasonal Vouchers in future years. We welcome feedback on this information.
As this is our very first seasonal event, we welcome any and all feedback on how it can be improved in the Suggestion Forums. We aim to continue building upon these seasonal events and site lore as time passes, with more new items and gameplay to enjoy.
Our team was on vacation during the last Cooking Camp update. However, we were able to introduce a variety of new foods and recipes to cooking!
Players can now cook the following recipes:
Nori, Flaxseed Oil, Blond Flour, Sugar, Cream, Butter, Yoghurt, Cheese, Cashew Cheese, Banana Bread, Walnut Bread, Plain Bread, Rye Bread, Buttered Bread, Honey Rye Bread, Cinnamon Pretzel, Salted Pretzel, Settler's Panda Bun, Traveller's Panda Bun, Mika Pudding, Guppy Bites, Baked Potatoes, and Roasted Potatoes.
In addition to these new foods and recipes, the Farming Festival is also getting a few updates. Cotton, Leeks, Flax, Turnips, and Potatoes can now be farmed throughout Loria! Seeds for these new crops can be found in the Farming Festival Shop or occasionally in the Mole Market.
In other news, Lorwolf's first official soundtrack is out now! One of JimJim's favorite hobbies is creating music, so over the past year, he and Swell have thrown together a mix of songs to help bring Lorwolf to life. The album contains 14 short songs and is available in-game and on streaming services. The music player (seen at the bottom right of the game's window) can be used to listen to the music while you play. Additional songs are planned as unlockable content in future updates, so stay tuned. Check out our album on Spotify (Opens in new window or tab)!
In our continuous goal to strengthen and keep our communications and community-building efforts consistent to Lorfolk, we are sad to say that we have some difficult news to share with everyone - on Saturday, January 6th, we will be closing the official Lorwolf Discord server to the public. This was not an easy decision to make, nor one we take lightly, as we've enjoyed watching this community grow and flourish over the years, and Discord has always been a huge part of that. However, over the past few months, the server has outgrown our modest team's ability to manage it effectively. We understand that this news may be incredibly disappointing to some, and while we are deeply sorry for any negative feelings this may cause, we believe it is in the best interest of the development of the site and for our community moving forward. We hope this gives everyone enough time to wrap up any trades and conversations they may have within the server. While the Discord is closing, more focus will be assigned on keeping communications with our community onsite clear and open. With everyone in one place, we aim to foster a stronger bond between our staff, moderators and players.
Thank you all for your feedback across discussions, suggestion threads and Support Tickets. We look forward to the future of Loria hand in hand with our community.
Good luck on the Icerun borders, Lorfolk!
