Gather round everyone, for I have a story to tell you about the old days, yes... Mmm. "Magic", yes, a term you all know and all use, but did you know that's not the original term for the energy you wield for healing and harm? No, there's a much older term, a much more ancient one, in the language of the gods, known as the "Particle". Whenever you see the power of Primal surrounding a mighty Dragon, or the pure glow of the Paladin, what you see before you are Particles, taken from the very fabric of reality around you. According to the lore of old, everywhere in the world has these Particles, in a pool so to speak, and casters draw on this mighty Pool to gain the Particles to feed their magic.

2021, A new year, a new Developer’s Desk! Some of you might remember what these are, but for those unfamiliar: with these posts we hope to peel back the curtains to give you, our community, a better look at all the things that have gone on, are going on, and will be going on for Istaria in the coming period. This past year has been hectic for reasons we all know too well. I imagine you as much as I have heard enough about the reality of our world on the news, so all we will say is that we hope all of you are healthy and in a good place going forward, and that this coming year is an improvement to all. With 2020 we focused around continuing the main storyline quests in the game. This was in the form of The Ruin of Tazoon and The Cult of Nazderon updates. These brought ruin to the symbol of the Empire and introduced a previously unknown invading force - and to top it all off, the return of a maddened mage-king! But it did not bring just ruin and destruction, for beauty did bloom in many corners of Istaria and a whole set of islands rose from the tumultuous seas north of Drakul. On the more technical side there have also been many improvements, our tech-wizards applied their magic on many fields improving overall game stability, as well as implementing many new features like antialiasing support. However, this is all what has occurred this past year, now for the real meat and potatoes of this Developer’s Desk: What to expect in the coming year.

For now, we are simply hosting all three teaser images in one community post to keep everything together and to be sure no one has been left out of seeing them.

Features:- The game’s loading code has been rewritten which will greatly improve loading performance, allowing the game to load faster on the loading screen and stream assets ingame faster, as well as improving game stability.
- The “Breath remaining” bar when underwater now always automatically centers and appears on top of other windows to prevent losing it.
- The casting / ability usage bar will move itself back on screen if you accidentally moved it off and make sure it appears on top of other windows.
- NPC Chat windows will make sure they are on-screen if they were accidentally moved off when greeting an NPC.
- Additional optimisation has increased the client’s FPS.
- The trade window now has a tab for your wallet, showing your currencies and their source similar to your wallet.
- Both your wallet and the trade window can now show your currencies as a grid view, if you prefer to organise your tokens visually.
- The map’s direction indicator is now higher quality and consistent in the default, sapphire, garnet, and emerald themes. Lava and ice already used this higher-quality icon.
- Bee sounds from beehives are now quieter and have smaller radius
- Add Use Option when you right click the Pet Window.
Fixes:- Fixed an issue where the game could freeze while loading into a new area after a teleport.

- Improved performance of how plot permissions are applied
- The ‘Hide Passives’ button is now inline with the search bar in the character window ability tab.
- Item icons will now downscale to fit instead of being cut off in the wallet window.
