  • A New Chapter Begins: Unwritten Legends Update

    We’re thrilled to announce that 108 players—both new adventurers and long-lost legends—have now logged back into Thrael since our reopening!

    It’s been incredible to see familiar faces return and new stories start to unfold. Thank you for helping us breathe life back into the world!

    Behind the Scenes

    While you’ve been exploring, we’ve been hard at work modernizing the classic engine:

    • We’ve made significant backend updates, including upgrading the game’s underlying .NET version, moving steadily toward modern development standards.
    • Our primary focus right now is on bug fixes and system stability, ensuring a smoother experience across the board.

    New Features Released

    • Fishing record boards are live! Track the largest catches in-game and leave your mark.
    • Mimics (yes, those mimics) have been introduced and will play a role in the soon-to-be-released overhauled loot system.
    • The Fame Queue is officially reopened! You can now request custom alterations, story items, and personalized additions again.
    • We are actively monitoring and rewarding outstanding roleplay, so get out there and make your mark on the world!

    Open Communication

    • Our staff team is more accessible than ever, and we’ve recommitted to transparency, including an open moderation policy.
    • We recently hosted a live in-game Q&A session, and players can continue to submit questions, ideas, and feedback via the forums.

    What’s Next?

    • Finalized lore updates for the Deities are almost ready to share.
    • Work has begun on refreshing Countries and Empires to reflect the post-collapse world after the fall of the Vashan Empire.
    • We’re laying the foundation for the future—one where player creativity and world-driven storytelling remain at the heart of UL.

  • Official Reopening Announcement

    📅 Reopening Date: March 29th, 2025

    Hey legends,

    The time has come—we’re excited to announce that Unwritten Legends will officially reopen on March 29th, 2025! After months of hard work, engine updates, and system integrations, we’re ready to welcome everyone back to the world of Thrael.

    ✅ Here’s What You Need to Know:

    • Automated Account Emails Incoming – All returning players will receive an email at the address associated with their account. This message will include:
      • Your account name
      • A newly generated secure password
      • Our login server and port information
    • Cutoff Rescinded – Everyone’s Included – We’ve removed the previous cutoff for account reactivation. All accounts that have ever actively logged in are now included in the reopening campaign—no matter how long it’s been since you last played.
    • Classic Engine Lives On – You can still find legacy resources and information at: 🌐 https://unwrittenlegends.net/classic/ That said, some new features and mechanics will continue surfacing in the classic engine as we quietly begin testing pieces of Unwritten Legends 2.0.
    • New Account Applications Open – For new players or returning players without access to an old account, the new application system will launch on reopening day. Applications will be verified and processed automatically through our updated system.

    While we get the new forums up and running, please join our discussions on r/UnwrittenLegends on Reddit!

  • Welcome!

    In the interest of focusing more intently on design, development, and lore revisions, we have moved the Unwritten Legends engine into a closed beta status, accessible for now only by staff. Some of our long term players may remember these periods from earlier in our history. Keep an eye out for updates here in the future.

    In the meantime, please feel free to peruse the Classic UL website, located at the sitemap.
