• New "Compare" tab, which lets you compare your scores with any other player in the leaderboards.<br>
• New outer "Friends Rank" tab, which shows how you rank compared to your friends in each profession.<br>
• Fixed inner "Friends Rank" tab to sort by rank correctly.

If you wish to use the leaderboards you will first need to opt-in to them. You can do this from the privacy settings section of the settings interface.

Then click on the 'community' interface (the same place your friends list is displayed) to see your rank.

Christmas 2024 Event

Christmas has arrived in Brighter Shores! Christmas themed hats in a variety of styles and colors will be given to you randomly as you play the game and earn XP. There are 20 different hats to collect.

To make it a easier to find the hat you want, or complete your collection, you can swap Christmas hats with other players. Click on a player in 'Nearby Players' to offer to swap the hat you are wearing with the hat they are wearing.

This event will end in early January, after which it will never be possible to collect these hats again, so you can use them to prove you were there for the first ever Brighter Shores Christmas.

Early Access

Brighter Shores is currently in 'early access'. This means a few core features aren't ready yet, and there are probably still some bugs!

Please send any bug reports to [email protected]

There are some very important features we want to finish ASAP, and before we consider the game to no longer be in 'early access'. These include:
• Player vs player combat (PvP).
• Player to player trading.
• Combat improvements, including special attacks on epic weapons to make the different factions more distinct.
• Episode 5 - Stonemaw Hill.
✓ Leaderboards.
• Additional (higher level) quests.
• Party system.

There will NOT be a save reset at the end of early access.
