We're excited to announce the return of our annual winter event we call Frostfall. You can travel to the Northest North and participate in new quests, activities, fight new monsters and defeat a dangerous boss with your friends!
And if that wasn't enough, we've also released an overhaul to our animal companion system which allows you to level up your companions and manage them from the stable!
