By Royal Decree: The Chronicles of Crestfallen’s Grand Update



The Crowned Conqueror: A New Royal Challenge in Red Shield Castle

Let it be known across the realm, that within the towering walls of the Red Shield Castle, a glorious treasure hath been unveiled—a magnificent King’s Crown of unparalleled splendor.



This regal artifact now adorns the brow of the castle’s Dread Lord, a fearsome foe who shall not easily relinquish his prize. Only the most valiant and cunning warriors will have the fortitude to claim this new crown, for the path is fraught with perils untold. Gather thy courage, muster thy strength, and prepare for a battle that shall echo through the annals of history!

The Dark Gateway: A New Portal of Horrors Emerges



Dark tidings sweep across the land, as a new portal of dread hath been torn open, spilling forth unspeakable horrors from the void beyond. This ominous rift harbors within it a new portal boss, a creature of dark power whose very presence warps the fabric of reality. But fear not, for scattered throughout the realm lies the Demo Lord’s set gear, relics of ancient battles, imbued with the strength of the fallen. Seek out these scattered pieces, for they may hold the key to defeating this new terror and restoring peace to the kingdom.

Forged in Fire: New Weapons and Armor for the Bold



Our skilled blacksmiths, ever toiling in the heart of the forge, have crafted new weapons and armor for the brave souls who seek to challenge the darkness. These finely honed instruments of war are ready to be wielded by those who dare to take up arms. Whether thou art a knight clad in steel or a rogue lurking in the shadows, new armaments await to bolster thy might and turn the tide of battle in thy favor.

This months Creator of the Castle award goes to Sir Channing Tatters!
A huge round of applause for our runner ups!!


The Fortress Unshaken: Castle Stability Strengthened

To the architects and builders of the realm, take heart! The foundations of thy grand castles have been fortified, ensuring that the stability of your mighty fortresses shall no longer falter. The re-connection bug that hath plagued many a kingdom after the sweat of laborious construction hath been fully vanquished. Now, with renewed confidence, thou mayest build thy domains to the heavens without fear of collapse or ruin. Go forth and raise thy castles, for they shall stand the test of time!

The Harvester’s Harmony: A Balanced Bounty Awaits



For those who till the soil and gather the bounty of the land, rejoice! The art of plant harvesting and resource gathering hath been carefully balanced and fine-tuned, ensuring that thy labors shall bear fruit in a manner befitting the seasons. No longer shall the earth yield too much or too little, but rather, a harmonious bounty shall be thine. Prosperity shall follow those who work the land with diligence, and the realm shall flourish under thy care.

The Cycle of Life: The Mortal Span of Farm Animals



But heed this warning, ye caretakers of the living creatures—farm animals now walk the path of mortality, their lives finite and delicate. Should they be neglected, they shall perish, leaving only memories and the void in their place. Tend to thy flocks with the care they deserve, for their well-being is tied to the prosperity of thy lands. Remember, all life is fleeting, and it is up to thee to ensure that their time upon this earth is fruitful and just.

The Return of the Fair: Elements Removed for Balance and Honor



In the name of fairness and just play, certain elements have been withdrawn from the realm whilst our sages labor to restore balance. First-person view, the trebuchet, and the magical teleport spell ‘blink’ shall be removed from thy arsenal until such time as they may be returned in full and balanced measure. Fret not, for their return shall be heralded by balance and fair play, ensuring that all who partake in these features shall do so on even footing.

The Arcane Scholar’s Wisdom: A Balanced Path of Progression



Finally, the wise scholars of the realm have poured over their ancient tomes and crystals, adjusting the experience gains from magical crystals and tomes of knowledge to offer a more steady and balanced progression. The pursuit of knowledge shall now be a journey of consistent growth, guiding thee ever closer to mastery of the arcane. Let thy studies continue with renewed vigor, for the path to wisdom is now more rewarding than ever before.

By the King’s Hand, These Decrees Are Made Law! Go forth, valiant souls, and may the light of justice and the strength of honor guide you in all your endeavors!

Greetings, brave souls of Crestfallen,

What an exhilarating first day it has been! We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who embarked on this journey with us. Your enthusiasm and feedback have been invaluable as we navigate the uncharted realms of our new world.

In the wake of our launch, we've been hard at work addressing your initial experiences and concerns. Here are some of the key fixes and adjustments we've implemented:

Increased Server Capacity



Our servers can now comfortably accommodate up to 50 players at a time, ensuring smoother gameplay and reduced wait times.

Improved Player Re-connection

Players should no longer encounter issues with getting stuck on loading screens when reconnecting to the game.

Bulwark of Castle Wall



Slow down siege and raider attacks drastically. Castle Wall, Castle Gate, and Castle Turret Hit Points have been buffed from 35,000 hp to 350,000 hp. They now are more secure than stone wall for raid defense.

Weapon Balancing

The damage of the Steel T3 Halberd has been adjusted from 205 to 150, with durability reduced from 500 to 50. These changes aim to balance gameplay and reduce raiding efficiency.

Camera Stability

We've disabled camera shake for players who are not actively casting Meteor spells, enhancing overall visual comfort during gameplay.

Spell Adjustments

Meteor and fire spells have been overhauled to ensure they no longer inadvertently damage internal structures and are more finely tuned for balance.

Teleportation Mechanics

Teleportation is now too expensive to cast, but for those cunning enough to uncover a secret path, the possibility remains open.

Economic Balance



Spear racks in town and certain higher-tier loot have been strategically removed to offer new adventurers a more balanced starting experience.

Better Burn Rate

Wall torches and candelabras are now burning fuel at a much slower rate so you wont have to refill often at all!

Your feedback continues to guide us as we strive to refine and perfect Crestfallen. Together, we are forging a world where every decision and adjustment aims to enhance your gameplay experience.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this epic journey together. Remember, your adventures shape the future of Crestfallen!

May your swords stay sharp and your spirits high.


My sword is at thy service,

King Burkheart The Keeper of Justice
