On the dimly lit morn of the town, the rhythmic sound of wood chopping reverberates beyond it's outer walls. The furnaces burn steadily with what they're given: fresh timber all through the night. For before many the townsfolk the task of sharpening spears and fitting arrows is about – a practical preparedness for the ever reliable cold waters of the north. As they sit in the deep of winter with little to do, no crops to farm nor game to hunt, the town's residents engage their time in what they can; if not something available today for them then gaining advantage for something they will need tomorrow. The late seasons of the thaw are not too far off, which brings threat by way of each creature and beast being endowed with new found strength but also a ripe opportunity of great heaps of meat and fur.

From Friday, January 12th's Server Save, until Tuesday, January 16th's Server Save, the Lands of Dura will find themselves in the time of an early thaw. All Creatures will have Double Life (2x Health). And, as is natural, they will have proportionate Experience and Loot, though due to their lumbering size they will appear (spawn) 25% slower. It will not affect Raid Creatures.




But take care, a blizzard is still possible after the thaw
