Dear players, to honor the Battle of Hastings anniversary on October 14th, the battle that changed the course of history of England, we introduce you the two exclusive “Heroes of Hastings” - William the Conqueror and his rival, the last Anglo-saxon King Harold II Godwinson.

Those heroes are in limited supply and are available in all servers' auctions except for Koryo (as they obviously don't fit the server historical settings).

Each hero comes with unique personalized artifact – Shield of William the Conqueror or Helm of Harold Godwinson accordingly.

Heroes are already available on the auctions of before-mentioned servers.

At the same time we offer you the contest held on our Facebook and Vkontakte pages, there you can win one of our exclusive heroes (artifact included).

Yes (maybe koryo is off limits??), I think they want you to contact support and tell them what server to place the hero on.
