- The following apply to the Elevation PvP server only:
- You may now threaten enemy merchants on Elevation when guards are dead. If successful this will make them drop their items. You can also start trading with them. This is in order to deal with them being used as safe storage. Threatening uses taunting skill initially.
- Settlement guards on the Elevation server now grows stronger the longer a raid lasts.
- On Elevation as test only: If there are enemies in the vicinity when you log off on same kingdom deed, you will remain in game for an hour. This is in order to deal with alts being used as safe storage and promote defending or running away instead.

130206 Floors returned
- The floors that decayed too quickly should now have returned.
130201 Custom kingdoms on Chaos enabled

A player in a custom kingdom who leaves the Chaos server for a non-pvp server in the Freedom cluster should be set to the freedom kingdom and back to the custom kingdom when he returns.
- The Chaos code could not be tested since it’s specific to that server, but there was demand to make it live before the weekend so that people could start forming kingdoms. A fix to Catapulting is in the works which will make raiding easier and releasing this update before that fix will help the transition.
- You should now be able to invite mayors to custom kingdoms which will convert the whole settlement

130117 Sacrificing for village faith
- The value of sacrificing items for village bonuses has received a boost in order to keep the number of items in the database as low as possible. The combat rating effect of village war bonus was increased and works at low levels as well. The creation bonus now may give larger rarity window. All effective bonuses are divided by number of player citizens. Hint: The bonuses go down with 15% per day so it’s usually a waste to sacrifice if you manage to max the bonuses out.
- For the same reason, butchered items now have a lot higher decay rate.
- You may now examine (and detect hidden) mine doors below the surface of the water
