Monsters abound

Monsters continue to run amok in Root Towns, but Recreational Areas and the McMansion remain safe and monster-free. Unfortunately, the number of monsters hasn't lessened. Threatening to push everyone to their limits, there are twice as many monsters occupying Root Towns now than there was last week.

Speak no longer

That unnerving boyish voice visiting people in their dreams has fallen silent. Calling out to it will no longer yield an answer, but you get the feeling you haven't heard the last of him.

A new, unusual power

Some players have a new ability: Data Drain. This power allows them to break through the invincible green shields surrounding some monsters, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Unusually, only a handful of players seem to have this power, and not all of them have revealed that they do. If you want to learn more, try asking around and seeing what you find out.

Players will wake to find themselves lighter, like a weight has been lifted from them... but it's not an altogether pleasant feeling. Another of your core memories has been taken away, and with it, another vital piece of yourself. So it goes.

Professions update: Levels 3 and 4 added

Professions have been undated to include level 3 and 4 recipes. Naturally, this means there are new items to gather as well, so head over to the professions page and check out the new additions.

Two new Special Areas have been discovered by our dedicated group of beta testers whose desire to unearth secrets borders on problematic. Grab a party and check them out!

Would you fancy yourself a dog person, or are you more fond of cats? Would you spend hours bumming around the mall with your pals if only it didn't keep you away from your beloved internet? Two new Recreational Areas have been patched in to address all your needs and more.

Between the combination dog park + cat café and the totally tubular mall, you'll be well occupied for hours while still enjoying all that Fragment has to offer.

A conference is being held on 9/23/23 to address the growing concerns with Fragment's closed beta test. Participation is mandatory with each player required to log in and attend the virtual conference. Food and drink (of the digital variety, of course) will be served and all your burning questions answered. Failure to attend means expulsion from the beta program, so mark your calendars and don't be late!

Guilds have arrived!

Gather your friends! Take to the streets of Mac Anu in search of fresh blood! Guilds have been patched into version 1.5 and are now available. We even have a shiny new section on the FAQ for them! Now if only you had some friends...

A guild recruitment contest is being hosted in Mac Anu on 8/12 with a number of exclusive and fabulous prizes available! For more information and to join in the chaos, check out the details here.

A new Root Town is available! Lumina Cloth is a city of bright lights and towering skyscrapers cloaked in perpetual nightfall. While the sights and sounds of vibrant nightlife make it a must see for many, Lumina Cloth's real draw is its multiple PvP arenas and casinos. As an aside, did you know that PvP is always enabled in Lumina Cloth...?

A number of bugs and player exploits have been patched out of the game, but it's inevitable that fixing one thing will lead to another breaking. Some crafty players may realize that it's now possible to equip other players as weapons. Someone might want to inform an admin...

Remember that curious scrap of paper that was found in Mac Anu's clock tower? On its torn, barely legible pages are the first few verses of a German poem. Thanks to Sinclair's efforts, the scrap has been translated! It reads as follows:

Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born…
After the stars doth cross the heavens,
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.

It seems there's more to the poem than what is written on that single scrap of paper, but where might more be found?

A number of strange new "foods" have sprung up across Areas everywhere. What happens if you eat one? Try it and find out for yourself! You get the distinct impression that these new culinary delights were not meant for human consumption.

The previously empty Quest Board in Mac Anu now has a single quest pinned to it. You can find details regarding the quest here.
