ArcheAge, the sandbox pirate MMO is getting a new update for the winter season which includes among other things a new boss - a large red dragon. How Christmassy.
The Version 1.2 Build 4.16 will introduce the new dragon world boss to the lands of Karkasse, and already some of their minions will be found in the area the dragon is to appear. Wyrmkin will roam the zone and fight with you. You'll need to seek out the Evenbards for their knowledge on how to deal with this particularly fiery new threat. Another large threat is the Dahuta cult which has grown in strength with the update and now has a base located under the Arcandian Sea. Raid it for some good loot.
In less threatening updates, the Winter Maiden Festival has set up in Erenor, bringing with it multiple stalls and events for players to engage with. There are even quests to complete, which will bring rewards upon completion. Building snowmen, stuffing stockings and multiple other things, all to bring cheer to the land.
As is usual with updates, there are also bug fixes, including ones to do with teleport books that lead to houses that no longer exist, re-use timers on Old Jars being increased and the removal of 'ice skates' from horses.
