Alpha v1.12 Update || December 04, 2022 
Forgotten Lands Online has been updated to its latest game version: Alpha 1.12! 

What's changed in Alpha v1.12?
We have updated the game's engine to one of the latest releases! This introduced a lot of new features and game systems that will greatly improve the overall gameplay experience. Small but annoying game engine issues were fixed, such as item stacking issues. Private and shared instancing was introduced and you'll be able to experience that with the updates that were made to the Golden Monster Lairs. We also put forth a lot of effort to develop a more in-depth loot box system for a more fair reward system. There are lots of other changes that you'll have to check out for yourself. Even through all these game changes, we also recreated our website from scratch. The website is still a work in progress and we will be re-adding account management features as we redevelop them. We will see you in-game! Cheers!
