Halloween
The Halloween curse evolves this year! A new dungeon makes its appearance, along with new rewards to unlock for those who make it through. This content won't be available as soon as update 2.8 is released, but only once the Halloween event is activated.
Notifications
Attention, scatterbrained players juggling fifty things at once! The new alert system lets you configure a large number of notifications that will be sent to you as soon as something important happens in-game while you're not looking at the right window, for example: someone attacks you, one of your tax collectors is under attack, a Kolizeum fight has been found, a player invites you to their group, etc.

Iop Balancing
An overhaul of the Iop class has been carried out for this update. Several spells with overly similar effects have been removed and replaced with new spells that enrich the class's gameplay. While remaining one of the game's biggest damage dealers, the Iop now enjoys a much more varied and original spell lineup.
