New Content, Let’s get it!
Hello everyone! We are so excited to announce the release of some new content that has been in the talks for awhile now. We think you will all enjoy these additions as it has a little bit of something for almost everyone.
We are looking to release most of the following content in October, 2024
**NOTE: Some information and content is subject to change before release.
From Character Creation to Action in Less than 10 Minutes
We’re all older and busier now and the idea of macroing yet another character and setting up those dreaded macros is sometimes enough for a player to not give a shard a shot no matter how appealing the content is.
Our goal is removing all time related barriers and get you fully playing within 10 minutes of downloading our client through the following changes:
- Seamless launcher that takes 1 click to login
- All common macros already set up in Options so you just need to assign a key
Vendor Bazaar (Vendor Mall)
We will be creating a new, conveniently located, area where you can rent a vendor located on Community Island. You can access the gate right out front of West Brit Bank This will create a one-stop-shop for the community.
You can rent Plots and place vendors as you wish within your plot in any open tile space. Keep in mind that some plots will have more than others because plots vary in size.
More to come on this..
Translation to Spanish
We have fully translated the entire game into Spanish thanks to some very generous players. This includes all gumps, tool tips, item descriptions, NPC dialogue, and more. Forever is such an amazing shard we want to make it accessible to as many players as possible. We are also open to translating the shard into additional languages if native speakers are willing to assist!
Mailbox System
We are implementing a new Mailbox system which allows you to send messages, send items, and sell items to players. Sending items will have a small fee and selling items will have a fee which is a percentage of the total sale.
CRAFTING
Smeltery & Additional Ores
The Smeltery System is a new way to process and refine ingots from ore. You can still do it the old fashioned way; however, the benefits of using the Smeltery are too good to pass up!
The Smeltery can be upgraded 7 times, each level making you more efficient at creating ingots. This means as your Smeltery levels you will create more Ingots per ore.
Additional ores may come into Forever in the future. It will be a discussion we have for PvM purposes only.
FOREVER CLASH EVENT & DUELING SYSTEM
Forever Clash is our new Event and Dueling System. The Dueling system will be similar to what you are used to now but with better user experience, more arena options, and a revamped leaderboard with prizes. Set up the duel exactly how you want it – with or without resistances, melee, certain spells, healing, mounts, etc.
One of the coolest features about Forever Clash is it allows us to schedule automated events.This includes PvP related events but it opens the possibility of us triggering non-PvP events such as paintball, races, pet fights, bomberman, PvM and crafting.
At launch, only standard PvP tournaments such as 1v1-5v5 and Last Man Standing will be available.
Clash Tickets
Participating in a Clash event will net you one Clash Ticket which can be spent at the Clash Vendor for rare items. Additional Tickets are obtained as you progress into further rounds of the event and where your final placement is. So, the more rounds you go in the tournament, the more tickets you get.
Clash Points
Clash Points are received from participating in Clash Events/Duels or purchasable with donation coins. You can use these points to upgrade the aesthetics of your personal Arena as well as fun add ons like special finishing move / kill animations.
Dueling Leaderboard Prizes
The #1 monthly ranked player or teams in each major category will receive a blessed belt for bragging rights. Don’t get too comfortable as the belt will transfer if you don’t keep your spot at the top!
Forever Clash Seasonal and World Championship
Championship Points
Points gained from final placement of Championship Point eligible tournaments in each category. Championship Point eligible tournaments will be on a consistent schedule. Championship Points reset every season.
Season Champion
The top 10 players or teams with the most Championship Points in each category will qualify for bi-annual Season Tournaments (Spring & Fall) to battle for the title of Season Champion and in-game prizes.

NEW RARE LOOT
Treasure Bags
Treasure Bags are a new rare drop system which are obtained from killing mobs. They have the chance to drop from any mob, but the probability increases with the mob’s difficulty. If you’re lucky, you will find an ice colored Treasure Bag on a mob as loot. WIthin that bag can be one or more of the following items:
- Rare Cloth, Animal, or Leather Dye Tubs
- Many different rare color hues that are available in either a cloth, animal, or leather tub form. Cloth tubs can dye an entire piece of clothing, not individual pieces of cloth, and come with 10 charges. Leather tubs dye one entire piece of leather armor and come with 10 charges. Animal dye tubs dye one pet and come with 5 charges.
