From now on, whenever you post about 'casual' players you have to use the word 'hatfields' to refer to casual players. Whenever you post about 'hardcore' players you have to use the word 'mccoys' to refer to hardcore / high tier players. EXAMPLE: 'The nerf to Thazeran's tower means that casual...

Since the pick up raid threads are kind of malplaced in SOD discussion and tend to be missed among all other topics, here is a forum for creating and organizing pick up raids. Open Raiding Rules - In this forum, you may post pick-up raids, discuss pick-up raids, raid targets and raid tiers...

A certain game under the development of yours truly is now accepting applications for Beta 1. Please go here for information and links.

I don't think this post will come to a surprise to anyone, given my general absence from the forums and game, but since people are still asking for me, emailing me and in general seem a little confused about my exact role in the server as of late, I thought I'd make this thread. As of today, I...

In the past we have ignored names like 'guildbank' and 'wizaugs' because it was generally local and low visibility, but with names like that more and more taking over auction and the listsold, we are going to start cracking down. From now on, there are no exceptions to the naming policy, and any...

Just wanted to put this up here because I've gotten a few questions from SOD players about whether WAI is hiring. Go to the Dawntide page and click the "We are hiring" link for details. Please note for those not familiar with Dawntide that this is not SOD-related, and are actual paid...

For those of you following Dawntide, we've just released the first batch of screenshots that at least partially resemble what the game world will look like on release. Note, however, that they're still lacking polish, and this is no way final. Click me!

I have long felt that <MY CLASS> is sorely lacking on the raiding scene because while <ABILITY MY CLASS CAN DO> is useful, it is not nearly so useful as <ABILITY OTHER CLASS HAS>. I am basing this fact on the fact that while browsing the forums today, I saw at least one guild willing to recruit...

Manually change eqhost.txt in your game directory to read as follows: [Registration Servers] { "67.205.76.13" } [Login Servers] { "67.205.76.13:5997" }

Seriously. Just hail her again and tell her you can't complete it.

Welcome to the dare thread, wherein you may partake in a dazzling challenge of wits and skill. This is a thread wherein you, the daree, will be given a dare to complete in-game by me, the darer. The rules are as follows: 1) To play you must have an active SOD account (also known as the no...

To reduce the very valid complaints about how there's no raiding zone that drops every piece of loot in the game, gives you archaics, is situated right next to athica and is never occupied by another guild when you want to raid it, I'm making some raiding mobs that should be ideally suited to...

The proper forum URL is now http://forum.shardsofdalaya.com instead of http://www.shardsofdalaya.com/forum, so change your bookmarks if you're having problems staying logged in.

Now that Volkov found the old game I coded for server downtimes back when Shards of Dalaya was not called Shards of Dalaya (and i downloaded the DLL that fixes the issues it has with XP), I want to share it with all of you. Mash this link for the gaming experience of your life.

Here's the deal: I've been stupidly busy ever since shortly after I put in Dark Rot, and despite my best intentions I haven't been able to find the time to implement the Hierophant war parts, and I probably won't for another week or so at least. For this reason, I will be removing dark rot from...

I halved the amount of exp required to max each codex, because it was set to twice the amount originally intended. So if you progress into a codex doubled, no reason to bug report it.

On account of dark rot showing us how tight buff slots are, I am going to authorize this one single movement of a spell line into the songs box, which has been request before. Heal over Time spells will now use the song box. Do not request any other spell line ever to be moved into the song box...

A new, uncurable plague called 'Dark Rot' is spreading across the land and threatening the entire Old World. It has been revealed that the architect of this plague is a lieutenant of Kaezul, known as The Hierophant. He resides on a heavily fortified island outside Ikisith, and two things will be...

I am putting together a final version of the dawntide alpha that we are going to show to people who will give us money to develop this game. As part of this, I'd like to put together a larger alpha testing team for stress tests and finding glaring errors and crash bugs in the client and server...
