    The Advent season is upon us and the first snow is falling over Taborea. People across the land are preparing and getting into the festive spirit…


    But new adventures lurk around every corner in this land of magic. This year is no different, as wild monsters walk abroad once more, and we plan a host of exciting events.


    So get your weapons polished up ready and come by regularly to find full details on all our winter events.

    Presents from Santa Claus

    Do you still remember the days when you wrote letters to Santa? In Taborea, it’s the other way around – over the Christmas season, Santa and his helpers will send you letters containing little gifts!


    Don’t miss out on any of these cool deliveries. There’s a surprise in store for you every day between December 24th and January 1st, 2024, and you can look forward to various useful items to help you on your adventures. If you have multiple characters on your account, the presents will land in the mailbox of the first character you log in with. Even if you miss a day during this period, it won’t have any effect on the remaining presents.


    Fun in the Snow

    The snow has fallen through the night, covering Taborea in a soft blanket that sparkles in the rays of the rising sun. Children waking to this piping cold rush out into the deep, cold fleece with peals of laughter to join the great snowball fight. But their good-natured missiles occasionally go astray, hitting monsters who lash out furiously and prime themselves to attack.


    Can you protect the children? Earn yourself a boost event in reward!

    • Between December 8th (12:00 AM) and December 14th (11:59 PM server local time) you will gain +200% boost in drop rates.
    • Between December 15th (12:00 AM) and December 21st (11:59 PM server local time) you will gain +150% Experience from quests and mobs and +150% talent points from mobs.
    • Between December 22nd (12:00 AM) and January 1st, 2024 (11:59 PM server local time) you will gain +300% Experience from quests and mobs, +300% talent points from mobs, and a +200% boost in drop rates.


    Please note, that drop boost is applied, when players are in the party.

    In the event “Duck Out” the schedule for the event occurring is wrong. Instead of occurring during set times it occurs every hour instead. You can still complete the task.

    Server Merge FAQ

    The most important info about the merge

    Will a merge of the servers affect the release of new content and new bugfixes? No. The merge is a completely independent Gameforge project. In the meantime, Runewaker will continue working on the game and corresponding updates as usual.

    Which servers are planned to be merged and when will it take place? As already announced, we’ll be merging Kerub and Svidur

    The servers will be merged as follows:

    • EU26 (DE) Kerub → EU5 (DE) KADMOS
    • EU27 (EN) Svidur → EU1 (EN) GAIA

    The exact times of the server mergers will be announced separately on our homepage, social media and the official forums.

    General Merge Information

    • Which criteria will be used when considering accounts for the server merge? There are no restrictions with regard to the accounts. We will merge all accounts.
    • What will happen to inactive accounts and players who return after years of inactivity? They will be able to log in and play on the newly merged servers.
    • Do players have to transfer their accounts or will this happen automatically? We will handle the merging of the servers. That means it will happen automatically. Almost like magic.
    • How long will the servers be offline during the server merges? It will certainly take longer than a regular server maintenance, but we cannot give an exact time.
    • Can players decide, themselves, which server they want to be transferred to? No, the accounts will be merged according to the combinations listed.
    • How many servers will be permanently merged together as one, and what are the criteria for this? The number of servers to be merged can vary from group to group since we have chosen the size of the server population as the deciding criterion.
    • Have you considered the economics of the individual servers? The most important criterion is the server population. We have weighed the pros and cons and came to the conclusion that a perfect economy means nothing if there are too few players. Therefore, we have decided that population plays a bigger role than the other aspects.
    • Will there be multiple channels on the merged servers? Not at the beginning. But if more channels are needed after the merge, we will consider it.

    Specific server merge information

    • What will happen to characters with the same name? If two characters with the same name end up on the same server, the character with the highest level (regardless of class or class level) will retain their name. If both characters are of the same level, the deciding factor will be made based on pure playtime, i.e. the character which has been played the longest.
    • What happens with guilds which have the same name? The guild with the highest level will keep their name. If their levels are the same, the guild on the target server will retain their name.
    • How will conflicting housing numbers be handled? The houses that are moved will receive a new number and will be assigned to their respective character. This way no one will end up in another player’s house.
    • What happens if I have more than 8 characters on my account after the merger? In this case, you will still be able to play all your characters as normal. But you will not be able to create new characters until you have fewer than 8 characters.
    • Will the merge affect my characters in any? (Items, gold, XP/TP, jobs, pets etc.) No, everything connected with your character will be transferred.
    • Will the merger affect my house or my house servants? No, the house itself and everything belonging to it is connected to the character and will therefore be transferred over.
    • What will happen to my Friend List, Blacklist and relationships? Everything should stay the way it is now, but some characters may have new names.
    • What will happen to inactive guilds? Will they also be transferred over? Since we are merging all accounts including inactive ones, inactive guilds will also be carried over.
    • What effects will the merge have on the Auction House? Will it be closed and cleared before the merge? The auctions will not be transferred. But before the merge takes places, all auctions will be cancelled, and the items will be returned to their seller. After the merge, you will have to put these items back up for auction if you want to sell them.
    • What will happen to the furniture in my house and the guild castle? Everything connected to your character will be merged.
    • What will happen to the letters I have in the Mailbox during the merge? After the merge is complete, everything will be there.
    • Will the server merge result in changes to Siege War? No, there will be no changes to Siege War due to the server merge. The system works independent of the number of servers and will thus not require any adjustments.
    • What will happen to the Magic Wardrobe? You don’t have to worry about your Magic Wardrobe. Players on some servers will have to log in to Account Management on our homepage. There, these players can then transfer their costumes to the new server. If there are still costumes from an earlier server merger stored there, these can also be transferred.

    Dear players,
    We have some small info update for you:

    • The EXP boost in zone 1 (Howling mountains) has been temporarily disabled due to the still ongoing "EXP deduction issue" with the new Necropolis daily quest. The EXP boost will be available in all other areas as usual.
    • We advice to still not stack any extra exp bonus when completing the Necropolis daily quest.
