Hi all,

As you have no doubt noticed by now, the website has a new design. The idea is to help make the site feel more like part of the actual game and has taken significant work to get it ready.

I would like to apologise to everyone for the downtime during the update. This was a bit longer than we had expected and we are very sorry about this.

The main features for this new update:

The new UI introduces new fonts across the whole site and pushes the parchment that you see on the front page to the whole site. This has been a long time coming and its great to finally have this all sorted. All buttons are now themed also and the sizes have been standardised to help create a more consistent look. All icons are now replaced with new font icons which again, reduces the time to load the site.

The nav bar is now all on one line. This should make getting around a bit faster. Extras now hides all the front page links including account settings and the logout link.

Updating equipped items is now done via ajax. This is every so slightly faster that reloading the whole site and the assist XP now have plus and minus buttons that allow you to automatically all assist xp to a skill without wasting any extra xp.

Additionally the large faction points area has been removed and the cavalry equipment added in its place so no need to switch between tabs anymore. The faction points are listed under class points and also available on the quests page.

Messages now show an unread counter to help you manage them. FYI: The counter will max at "30+".

New languages: Turkish has been added to our list of languages. We will be launching the delayed translation centre some point in the future now but a lot of rework has been added to this theme update in preparation.

Also, as ever, if you find any errors then please post them to the website bugs.

Otherwise, please enjoy the new update!

Good news everyone!

Starting right about now, Hardened Metal will now drop in groups 3 times larger than usual!  This special event will go on through Sunday night  (time to be determined) so get it while its fresh!  Now is a great time to finally finish off that project you've kept on the back-burner for weeks, help out your friends, or just save up for the future

Enjoy,
The NI Team

Taleworld's Servers Are Offline Online

We anticipate issues for users logging but unfortunately this is beyond our control.

Hopefully everything will be back up soon but check https://www.taleworlds.com/ for up to date information.

Hello everyone,

There has been a change in the way the AU servers and donations are handled.  All AU donations should now be make with the GameServers.com Clan Pay option now listed on the Help NI page.  This will allow a more direct method of donating to the cost of the servers without having to convert from AUD to EUR and then from EUR to USD.

As part of the change, the existing two AU servers now have new IP addresses and thanks to a generous starter donation, there is now a third AU server - Ragnarok.  The number of servers available will depend entirely on donations so please keep an eye on the account balance and top it up from time to time.

The bill comes in once a month and costs $19.95 US per server (59.85 for all three).  The current account balance for the AU servers can be seen on the Clan Pay page.  If the account does go into the red, there is a short grace period before GameServers automatically suspends the account (which hopefully will never happen).    If three servers proves too much to support, we will drop back down to two for a while.

Hello everyone,

For a while now, we have had an official wiki which has contained the game rules and the beginnings of various sections.  To get it started, editing rights have been given to only a select few.  They have laid the foundations for many areas which we wish to cover more thoroughly.

Today, the NordInvasion wiki is now open for community editing!  Anyone who wishes to contribute may do so.  The registration link can be found in the upper-right corner of the page.  Once signed in, you may access the Staff section to see information about styling and syntax.

We envision the wiki as being a place where beginners can get information about starting in NordInvasion and a reference for any other information that might now be scattered across various parts of the forum.  A few of the subjects that could benefit from pages are registering your first character, creating alts, how the wave system works, how to heal and refill ammunition, anything that might not be obvious for someone new to the game.

If you have any questions such as how certain topics should be grouped or whether certain major changes should be made to pages, feel free to ask here.

Hello everyone!

Today we are releasing a new system for scheduling house events.  This new system is integrated into nordinvasion.com and can be accessed from the house page by clicking on the Events link.

House leaders and captains have the ability to apply for events.  As before with the PM form, all the usual fields are present.  The "Start At" field which specifies when you wish your event to start will automatically set itself to your computer's timezone - all the timezone and daylight saving math takes place behind the scenes.

The system is still very new and will undoubtedly be improved further over time.  If you see something that is not working right or that could be improved, post about it here.  If for some reason you cannot schedule your event (or the event is not scheduled properly), send a PM to the Event Coordinator.  (To clarify, general problems and bug reports should be posted here.  Specific event scheduling issues should be PMed to the Event Coordinator.)

Hello,

In an effort to make it easier to read numbers over 999, the Auction Hall, player gold, and character xp now have a space as the thousand place separator.  The reason for choosing a space is that some regions use commas while others use periods.  To complicate things further, the symbols are reversed entirely to separate the whole number from the decimal.  A space is more neutral and provides the same visual separation and readability.

If this change feels right, we will continue to add thousand separators to more of the large numbers on the website.  Meanwhile, if you have a particular number in mind that could use this separator, feel free to point it out!

Hello NI community!

It has been a while since we have had to make one of these messages (over a year, actually) but it is time to once again ask for more support for the cost of our servers.  In a change from previous requests, we are listing the monthly costs for each region with an approximate conversion to the local currency.
