Our dedicated server provider have scheduled network maintenance on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 between midnight and 6 am CET (GMT+1).

During this time it is possible that there will be kicks, lags, or even that the server is unreachable. We advice you to stay away from dangerous areas during that time.

To keep you updated with what we're working on: we almost have the In Service of Yalahar quest done, when it's done we will start working on the Warmaster addon quests and then Killing in the Name of quest. We are also planning to launch new servers soon, more information will be available later.

Kind regards,
Talaturen.

We have finally decided to close down TwinForce due to the inactivity of players. So we will be moving SoftCores to the TwinForce server so this should help to prevent kicks and crashes. We will open a new server again after adding missing quests and fixing all the bugs, we can't tell you when though so don't bug us about it.

Help, I can not login on SoftCores!
- Until it works again, try using softcores2.otland.net as the IP-address.

What will happen to TwinForce players?
- Using the TwinForce website you will be able to move your character to SoftCores, not yet though but we will do our best to have this working as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
Talaturen.

As the time is passing by, we are working on adding things to the server and addressing the bugs that occurs and of course, fix them. We want to thank all of you for reporting the bugs, this, because it helps us to get what we are aiming for - A bug free server that has everything.

We want to keep you informed with what we are working on, so you won't think that we are slacking just because we have recently had a major update. What have we been fixing after the update? This is some of the things.

• The Outlaw Camp Quest, also known as the Bright Sword Quest has been added and it works exactly as it should.
  
• The Ankrahmun Tombs under Kha'labal have been bug fixed, every teleport there should now work fine.
  
• The Ancient Tombs Quest better known as the Helmet of the Ancients Quest have been added which means that you can now get the Helmet of the Ancients. This means that the Pharaohs are now accessible and you can loot all the rare things that they drop.
  
  
  
  
• The Pythius the Rotten part of The Hidden City of Beregar Quest is now functional. This means that you can now get the Firewalker boots.
  
• After completing the Inquisition Quest, Henricus will be interested in buying demon loot from you.
  
• Zao Wailing Widow Cave has been added. It isn't 100% correct yet, but we are working on correcting that as soon as we can.
  
• A lot of map bugs has also been fixed, both reported ones and bugs that we have discovered on our own while we were fixing or adding something else.
  
• The Svargrond Arena Trophies have been fixed and they do now have a correct description.
  
• Name change is one of the things that you have been asking for as a donation gift. This has now been added and you are able to change your name for the cost of 75 points. When you pick this gift you will be name-locked and you will be able to change your name. Despite this, you will still be able to search for your character under your old name for 2 months. After 2 months you will be able to pick this gift again, this, so players won't abuse it.
  
  
  
  
• Something that also has been added to the website is the Quest status. Which means that you can now see which quests each player has managed to do. The quests that has been added to the Quest status system is the big ones.
  

Yours,
GM Hani
