In order to support some of the new things for the account drive, we needed code, hence the patch. Things of note:

- Blessing of the Gods is now a thing. It functions similarly to a Golden Beast, except you will not know what zone it might appear in, and it can look like anything in that zone. The server will be reminded of its existence every 10 minutes when it appears. Hailing (NOT KILLING) it will bless the server with a global experience bonus for a few hours!

- Tokens of Ascendance are in game. These rare treats will be rewards during the account drive. As to what they do, well, when we dole out the first one, we'll tell ya. :)

- Mob swarm pets (NOT players) should be targetable so they are easier to kill

- Drop rate for world drops is temporarily doubled so that new players can get some gear more easily.

Watch for additional events coming up for the donation drive! If you haven't already, consider donating to our advertising/server promotion fund at https://shardsofdalaya.com/donations. For those of you who have donated, thank you so much for supporting the server!

The 2015 Account Drive has begun! Please visit https://shardsofdalaya.com/donations to make a "special" donation to help us advertise and build up the server!

Over the next few weeks, we will be running special events and giving away lots of cool stuff. Encourage your friends to come play, or maybe return! And yes, we will certainly have a bonus experience period after the donations have completed, as well as the lottery and such that players love. But we've also got some new things to offer as well, including GM-driven events and a global event that we think the entire server will enjoy. :)

Follow us on Facebook for the latest information, and keep an eye on the forums as well!
