Thanks to the local and loyal Owlinas you can safely pass through the Millennium Blizzard and see the Eastern Hiram Mountains! Soak in the gorgeous scenery, but tread carefully as the monsters here are more dangerous that you may have thought. The Abyssal Legion is close and is conducting unsettling experiments at their base camp!

Glyph Update Issue Fix



Greetings folks,

As you may have noticed, recently we’ve been experiencing some certificate issues with our websites. These same issues also caused some players to have trouble accessing games.

We’ve released fixes for the majority of these issues, but we have an update coming for Glyph that should be the final step to resolving this completely. Unfortunately, players using older versions of Glyph won’t be able to update to this newest version.

If you have trouble updating Glyph you’ll want to delete it from your computer and download the latest version. Find the latest version here.

We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Thanks very much
