Hello Adventurers!

We'd like to apologize for the recent server issues. We have decided to permanently activate 2x harvest and exp starting on 9/4 at 12:00 AM Pacific Time. Servers will go down for 2-3 minutes at this time to implement the change. This will become the new standard base rate.

Thank you!

Hello Adventurers,

2x Harvest and 2x Experience has been activated for all Official servers and will run until April 6.

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these difficult times!


Dark and Light is currently undergoing a major coding overhaul. This is a large endeavor for a small team and the development will continue to take some time. The next significant update will likely be when the rework is complete.

We apologize for the lack of information thus far. As of right now, we do not have an estimated date available. When the development team is ready to reveal details, we will relay them when we can.

Thank you!

Hello Adventurers

Due to the abuse of transfer related complications, we will be suspending compensation for transfer losses until further notice.

The development team will continue to investigate and troubleshoot transfers, but until we are able to resolve the issues, players are advised to transfer at their own risk.

For assistance in other matters, please continue to contact our Customer Service team here: https://support.playdnl.com/hc/en-us

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding as the team continues to address the design flaws in Dark and Light

-The DnL Team

Greetings Adventurers,

We hope you were enjoying the Halloween content. Unfortunately, it is time for Halloween Skeleton and Mini Elite Dark Wraith to say goodbye to the Graveyard. However, the Halloween Skeleton will still spawn in the Sacred Path, along with their drops at a much lower rate.

Official servers will be closed for maintenance and update at 12 AM PST on November 14th.

Double harvest rate and double taming rate will also be disabled. However, we will continue to implement double harvest rate weekend.

Thank you.

Greetings Adventurers,

Our Halloween update will be at 1:00 am PDT on October 26th.

Remember to keep an eye out for the in-game message for when the servers will be closing for the update!

Warning! Meteorites are dropping in the Graveyard (aka Dark Forest) area on the Sacred Path, and dark creatures are invited to join in on the Halloween Party. Adventurers will be able to find items that are exclusive to these Halloween meteorites! However, obtaining these treats will be no easy feat! You will have to defeat the dark creatures to obtain them!

Skeletons dressed up in unusual costumes are also ambushing careless adventurers. Adventurers will encounter knight Skeleton, archer Skeleton, and wizard Skeleton. You may even run into mini Reapers and mini Elite Dark Wraiths. These dark creatures carry all sorts of Halloween candy that will grant you power - if you can take the side effect! Adventurers are advised to hunt them down!

New Halloween Candy

• BloodBerry Candy: a red Halloween candy containing evil power which buffs damage while slowly poisoning the user
  
• SnakeVine Candy: a yellow Halloween candy containing evil power, which buffs movement speed while slowly poisoning the user.
  
• Ghost Mushroom Candy: a blue Halloween candy containing evil power, which reduces stamina cost and mana cost while slowly poisoning the user.
  
• Vermouth Candy: a green Halloween candy containing evil power, which removes the poisoning effect on you at the cost of your Health Points..
  
• Assorted Candy: a jar of assorted Halloween candy; can be crafted using the other four Halloween Candy and the Pumpkin Candy Jar. Without poisoning you, Assorted Candy grants you all 4 buffs that each of Halloween Candies provides. You can consume the Assorted Candy only up to 5 times, and once you eat it all, the Pumpkin Candy Jar will be returned to you.

**Note: Assorted Candy is also Mini Elite Dark Wraith’s favorite feed. You heard us. Mini Elite Dark Wraith is tameable!

In addition to the Halloween candies, we have a few other new Items, the Evil Treasure (pumpkin storage box) and the Pumpkin Candy Jar.

As an extension to our regular weekend double harvest rate, all official servers will enjoy both double harvest rate and double taming rate from October 26th to November 4th.

Thank you.

Adventurers of Archos, I bid you beware...
A sinister feeling approaches
as the darkness encroaches...
Oh, into the Dark Forest I shall not dare!

Be wary adventurers! Gaia's influence grows stronger around this time of year. Prepare yourselves... Gobboween is on the horizon.

Date and more details to come!

Stay safe out there....

Greetings Adventurers,

We'd like to thank everyone for their input regarding the Chaos Server Revamp. After perusing the feedback over the weekend, we will be moving forward with the changes proposed previously:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/529180/announcements/detail/1591383946839491631

Originally we had announced that we would be referring to these new servers Chaos Fury - however, we have decided instead to name these new servers Chaos Battle to emphasize the fast-paced PVP nature.



Asian Chaos Servers have already been shut down and rebooted to Chaos Battle.

EU and NA Chaos servers are scheduled to go down on October 8 at 1:00 AM PDT



The first batch of Chaos Battle servers is scheduled to go live shortly after the Chaos Servers shut down on October 8th at 1:00 AM PDT - three Archos server and one Gaia server, all of which are server-transferrable to other Chaos Battle servers

The next two batches will expand upon previous batches and are scheduled to be released after a two week period between each batch.



In light of the Chaos Server Revamp, we will be extending 2x Harvest across ALL servers until October 8, 1:00 AM PDT.

• Players from the original Chaos servers can contact a GM at Customer Support to ask for compensation for the lost items in server wipe, Compensation can be received on any server of the player's choice, with the exception of the new Chaos Battle servers.
  
• The deadline to submit a ticket for compensation will be October 8, 1:00 AM PDT.
  
• Players may also contact Customer Support for a saved archive of their Chaos Server. In which case, please be sure to provide the GM your Email, Server, Character Name and SteamID64

Greetings Adventurers

The Ice Dragon and Towers Rework patch is still steady on the way! Thanks for your continued patience. For now though, we'd like to begin a discussion on the state of Chaos Servers.

For a time now, Chaos servers have seen less activity compared to our other servers. This deserved some looking into, and after some consideration, the development team has decided to revamp the Chaos Servers. We are looking to shut down the Chaos Servers to introduce Chaos Fury Servers with new settings and rules. The plan is to have players start anew on the Chaos Fury servers.

Of course, we'd like to hear from our Community before we make such changes and are open to suggestions.

To allow the remaining Chaos players to enjoy the last bit of it before we close them down, the team will be enabling server transfer among all Chaos servers on 9/30 1:00 AM PDT. Servers will temporarily go down at this time in order to enable the change.

Server settings:

• 5x exp gain
  
• 10x harvest rate
  
• 3x resource spawning speed
  
• 5x taming rate
  
• 3x dino damage

War Declaration:

• 3 hours to prepare for war after a house is declared war upon.
  
• 6 hours for war time

Note:
Depending on the amount of active players, we are potentially looking into having these be fast-paced servers that are wiped on a monthly basis.


After gathering community feedback and finalizing the Chaos Fury settings, we will make an announcement and begin to roll out the Chaos Fury servers in 3 batches - one batch every 2 weeks. A more detailed schedule will be provided with the final announcement.

• Players from the original Chaos servers can contact GM to ask for compensation on their new server. The deadline for compensation will be announced upon finalization of the Chaos Fury plans as well.
  
• Players can also ask for a saved archive of the Chaos servers

Please let us know your feedback on the proposed changes! We look forward to hearing from the community. :)

Greetings Adventurers,

Our next update will be around 1:00 am PDT on September 19. This patch is to fix an issue with server transfer, and enable log for transferred and transferring characters.

Remember to keep an eye out for the in-game message for when the servers will be closing for the update!

Thank you.

Hello Adventurers,

We are aware of the issue of character loss during server transfer, since our last update on 8/29. While we are working on a hotfix asap, we are urging players not to transfer their character before we fix it.

If you have experienced character loss, please submit a ticket to our Customer Support team for assistance:
https://support.playdnl.com/hc/en-us

We apologize greatly for the inconvenience.
