As with our in game Chaos Chests you’ll never know what you get!
It’s hard to keep up with updates and interesting happenings in game and around the forums. But fret not, the community liaisons are here to help.

We will recap on a regular basis to make sure you don’t miss any important information.
Additionally we will pick a few examples of the many interesting reads around the forums. (If you think a specific thread or event is worth mentioning contact any of the liaisons. Keep in mind though that we are looking at suggestions directly on the forums, there is no need to send links about them to make a stronger point.)

• Darkfall’s third free Expansion, Hellfreeze is finally with us! Tasos posted the patch notes here and a subsequent patch to expeditiously nip some expansion related issues in the bud was released some days later, the patch notes for that can be found here. Furthermore, the torrent to download the Hellfreeze expansion can be found here.
• In an effort to give the 5K contest entries their well deserved attention we started to introduce additional entries which didn’t quite make it into the final two. Last week we showcased the comic genius of Tiny Tyke! The work can be found here for your giggling pleasure!
• Our Community Manager, Brannoc, announced the emergence of Social Groups on the forums. Read the announcement here!

• Ninogan Swiftstep of the EU server is once again calling all able bodied warriors to show off their skills in his tournament! Visit this page for the forum announcement and this site for Ninogan’s official tournament pages. The tournament was originally set for the 10th of the month but has been pushed up to the 17th due to Hellfreeze arriving and causing chaos all around!
• Screw Loose of the NA server organized a Trade Fair for the all Agonian entrepreneurs looking to make a pile or two of gold! Read all about it here. The fair seems to have been a total success and there are talks of making it a monthly happening!
• Mifun announced a grand raft give-away/conquer the lake event! Read up on how it wenthere or watch the video!

• Massively.com featured Darkfall as a One Shot this week! We chuckled at being referred to as a “devilishly dangerous” game!

• The new expansion will be bringing exciting new official Events. Sharpen your sword and be ready! With that being mentioned, the Acolytes have been expanding their library with some more obscure Agon lore. Keep an eye on this section for more information within the next few days!

The politics on both EU-1 and NA-1 have seen a constant battle back and forth between the powers that dominate the servers.

• EU-1
  On the political side of things, EU-1 has seen a pretty big siege that SUN dropped in SNAILPARTY’s Bloodscar hamlet, a siege that SNAILPARTY won in a pretty convincing way. The new hotspot in Agon is the middle part of the map, with a lot of PvP and regional control warfare taking place, and we expect more sieges to be dropped in the vincinity.
• NA-1
  NA-1 is also a big PvP hotspot after the expansion, with skirmishes – big and small – taking place all over Agon. Sieges have been dropped on Elish hamlet close to the center, Ul’Hamra in Ruby and Gulghat in human lands. We are sure that many more sieges will follow, taking advantage of Hellfreeze’s improved siege performance.

We are interested in finding neutral players who would like to work with us on a weekly basis to update the community on general war happenings on both servers. Interested players can send a pm to community liaison Ramjesty. Please state why you would be a good candidate to comment and update us on happenings we might miss. Thank you!
