Discord Announcement

Commander, our intel has received reports of mounting Imperial alliances on the frontier! Starting today, Guilds are live to create and join. Coordinate with your fellow guild-mates and donate gold for the glory of your unwavering union! If that doesn’t convince you to join a guild, the second thing intel discovered might...

Yuzul the Raptor Trainer and his army of raiders are gearing up to attack any imperial vestige they can find! Yuzul’s Boss Strike will run December 18th-21st, during which his onslaught of ferocious raiders will bear down on the Northern Frontier. Fend them off and donate resources to your guild for a chance at some hefty rewards. Gears, bars, vials, laurels and more resources will all be available as well as new units like the V-14 Maverick and BC-1 Snake. You must be a guild member before the beginning of the Boss Strike or else you will be ineligible for the rewards.

Our strength is in numbers now Commander, let’s join forces and defeat this mounted menace! Besides, it wouldn’t hurt to have some company around the outpost now and then.
