Welcome to another AethroReforged update! We’ve been hard at work adding new systems, improving the overall player experience, and continuing to build the world we want AethroReforged to become. Here’s what’s new in this update!

✨ New Features

🏆 Guild Points

Guild progression has arrived!

Guilds can now earn Guild Points by defeating supported raid bosses while raiding together. Every victory contributes toward seasonal rankings and future rewards.

Features
  • Guild-wide point tracking
  • Automatic raid boss detection
  • Separate scoring for 10-player, 25-player, Heroic, and supported Hard Mode encounters
  • Seasonal guild leaderboards
  • Configurable seasonal rewards
  • Future website leaderboard integration
New Player Command

.grank

Displays your guild’s current Guild Points along with the current Top 5 guild rankings.


👤 Character Services

A new face has arrived in Azeroth!

Meet Lazirath, our new Character Services NPC. Need a fresh start without making a new character? Lazirath can help.

Available services include:

  • Character Rename
  • Appearance Change
  • Race Change
  • Faction Change

We’ll continue expanding the available services over future updates.


⚔️ Nemesis System

The world just became a little more dangerous…

Creatures that manage to defeat players can now evolve into powerful Nemeses.

These enemies don’t simply respawn. They remember their victories, grow stronger over time, and become persistent threats waiting for their next encounter.

Nemeses can:

  • Rank up after defeating players
  • Become significantly stronger over time
  • Persist through server restarts
  • Challenge players to seek revenge
  • Reward those brave enough to hunt them down
  • Appear on future monthly leaderboards

Think twice before underestimating that random creature in the wilderness… it might remember you next time.


🔧 Quality of Life Improvements
Cleaner Login Experience

We’ve cleaned up the login experience to reduce unnecessary chat spam.

Removed
  • Extra module startup messages
  • Debug information shown during login
  • PlayerBot informational messages
  • AOE Loot login announcement
  • Miscellaneous module banners

Instead, your chat will stay clean so you can get right into playing.

📢 Improved Message of the Day

The server Message of the Day has been trimmed down and simplified.

Rather than filling your chat with multiple startup messages, the MOTD now focuses on the information that actually matters. Future announcements, events, and important updates will be delivered through our Breaking News system instead.

🚧 Coming Soon

Development on AethroReforged is moving quickly, and there’s plenty more on the way.

Some of the features we’re actively working on include:

  • Expanded Character Services
  • Additional Guild Point rewards
  • Website leaderboards
  • Nemesis achievements and statistics
  • More world events
  • Additional quality-of-life improvements
