| Edit: I have scoured the Announcements section of the forum, as well as the News section of the home page. I've gotten info from trusted sources. I have a large portion of updates and events from over the years. Now's the time where I will heavily rely on current player knowledge to fill in the blanks of the history of our world. Whatever you can add is appreciated.
Hiya!
There are still many of you who have been around since 2005. Many of you will have different memories of things that happened throughout the history of this game. I'm turning to all of you to help me fill in the gaps of my memory, and simply, times I wasn't around.
What I am looking for:
- Holiday Events: Specifically, events that added any form of new content.
- Unique Events: Events like ones we've had recently with Halloween Harvest/Gnome Workshop. Pirate introduction with Pirate Keys.
- Updates: large and small. Anything new that was added to the game, what it was, and when it was added. (many times updates and events coincide.)
- "Significant" things that happened in our world's history (Jop attacks, Born buying Syrnia, the quiet period where we had no updates for years, et cetera...)
I am still slowly editing this as I have the free time to do so. Last edit: April 19th, 2022.

- (December 15th) Syrnia homepage got a makeover from the original homepage to its second incarnation.
- (December 24th-25th) First Celebration Island: Players could sail to Celebration Island for free from Port Senyn or Crab's Nest. There was no crowding effect on Celebration Island. Santa stayed on Celebration Island on the 24th and 25th. You could sit on Santa's lap, and he would give you a gift of your choice from different categories. There was a set minimum number of days of playtime a player had to have achieved before they could actually sit on Santa's lap. This was to keep players from spoofing their IP, making a new account, taking it to Celebration Island, and getting more items from Santa to trade to their main account. You could chop trees at Festival Forest and find Christmas trees. There was a contest held for the three tallest Christmas Trees, and the players were given a gp reward. The player who chopped the tallest Christmas Tree had the pub on Celebration Island named after them for the next year's holiday. The contest ran until end of day on the 24th. You could fish Striped Red Fish at Holiday Lake, and a contest was held until end of day on the 25th for the longest Striped Red Fish caught, the top three players winning a gp reward. Santa Gnomes invaded for the first time, and they could drop Santa Hats upon death.
- (January 4th) The Cave of Trades was added. It was located at Eully and Ogre Trading Post. Players could put items up for auction, and other players could bid on the items. Players would receive messages when someone bid over a bid they made, and players selling items would have a 5% fee deducted from them when successfully selling an item. How many auctions you could run and bids you could place at a time were determined by your Trading level.
- (January 6th) Thieving update: Locked items added. Locked Toolboxes and Locked Moldy Chests could be found and unlocked with a Lockpick. These items could then be opened, and the player would receive a random reward from a list.
- (January 9th) Equipment durability added. Equipment can sometimes break while being used. When an item breaks, it disappears entirely. The higher the tier of your equipment, the more durability it has. When Smithing, players could sometimes "perfectly smith" a piece of equipment, allowing it to "break" multiple times before disappearing.. Similar to enchantments, a small "E" appeared in the top-left of the item. Hovering over the item displayed how many times it could break before disappearing. Elven Armour/Weapon drops added.
- (January 26th) Performance updates to high scores and chat. The chat now loaded only new chat messages, instead of constantly loading the last 15 lines, helping connection speed. Chat text limit changed from 1,500 to 5,000 characters. The Highscores now refresh every hour.
- (March 5th) Syrnia's one-year anniversary: Celebration Island was opened with some contests. Red Balloon was added to the game. (I am not certain if anything new was added other than Red Balloons. D: But M2H put a heartfelt post on the news section about his first year running Syrnia, and talked about the beginning development of Syrnia.)
- (March 6th) Official launch of DW-HQ, the first unofficial Syrnia fan site. Results of the contests from Syrnia's 1st Birthday (Top three winners were paid in a gp reward.):

- (March 8th) General combat tweaks: The Combat Levels of monsters have been changed. They now use the same CL calculator as players, and are, therefore, more accurate. Some monsters were bequeathed higher HP due to their new HP calculation. Attacking code was changed. Power/aim had too much affect compared to the Attack level before, rendering the Attack level almost useless by itself. This was balanced in favor of the Attack level.
- (March 10th) First known case of a Syrnia user gaining access to someone else's account and stealing their items. The offender was jailed for two months and had his/her possessions deleted. Another suspect was also jailed for two months. The victim received back his/her possessions.
- (March 14th) RUM clan requested that their clan banner be advertised on the Syrnia home page. They came to an agreement with M2H about the duration of the banner and the cost. The RUM banner was placed on the home page for one month. M2H left an open invitation to work with other clans for future advertisements.
- (March 14th) Heerchey Island added: The Heerchey family decided to open their private island for visitors. Players can travel to Heerchey Docks from Mezno and Skull Island. Players could Boat fish at Heerchey Docks, and mine Iron in the Ancestral Mountains. Along with Heerchey Island, Arch Caves 1, 2, 3, and 4 were added. Two new quests were added: Earning the Family Respect, and The Kidnapped Lunchbox. You could get to Arch Caves 1 via McGoogin's Camp after completing the Earning the Family Respect quest, which requires Combat level 20 and Mining level 10.
In Arch Caves 1, you could dig for Locked Toolboxes, Locked Moldy Chests, Rocks, and Broken Glass at N. You could fight three new creatures, White Bats, Black Bats, and Grey Bats at Arch S and NE. Players could also move to Arch Cave 2.1 at Arch Cave SE.
Arch Cave 2 is full of fog, and it's difficult to find where you are going. Arch Cave 2 consists of 20 rooms, 2.1 - 2.20. You can only find entrances to new rooms by hovering over areas of the map until your mouse changes, indicating a clickable link. Arch Cave 2 has random combination chest events that can be unlocked by inputting the correct number, giving Locked Toolboxes, Locked Moldy Chests, or Locked Ancient Chests. Also, every 1st, 16th, 31st, and 46th minute of the hour, there is a chance that 1-3 random LTBs, LMCs, or LACs will drop in random rooms. Auto-attack creatures: Black Bat, Grey Bat, White Bat, Stone Gaman, Starving Spider, Iron-Scaled Gaman, Koban Miner. Arch Cave 2.20 has the entrance to Arch Cave 3.
Arch Cave 3 has 25 rooms, 3.1 - 3.25. It's completely dark here, and so you walk aimlessly between locations, hoping to find 3.25. Auto-attacks are in every room. Arch Cave 3 auto-attacks: Stone Gaman, Starving Spider, Iron-Scaled Gaman, Koban Miner, Steel-Scaled Gaman, Koban Protector, Gold-Scaled Gaman. Arch Cave 3.25 has the entrance to Arch Cave 4.
Arch Cave 4 has seven rooms, 4.1 - 4.7. Auto-attacks between every location. Auto-attacks: Koban Miner, Steel-Scaled Gaman, Koban Protector, and Gold-Scaled Gaman. Dinosaur creatures can also spawn here naturally and are Syrnia's first group fight creatures: Waranerus, Honurus, Stemosaurus, and Roodarus. Wara, Stemo, and Rood drop Waranerus Spike, Stemosaurus Tail Spike, and Roodarus Horn, respectively, which are all uniquely powerful weapons. All four creatures drop Saurus Scales, Saurus Hide, and Saurus Meat. Saurus Scale and Saurus Hide can be traded to Tempa at her hut with gp for Saurus Armour: Saurus Helm, Saurus Plate, Saurus Shield, and Saurus Legs. You can also trade Bat Hide and gp for Bat Hide Gloves and Boots. Randomly, bits of Gold Ore and Platina Ore can spawn in Arch Cave 4. Platina Ore added to Arch 4 and is also mineable in Outlands #78. Combination chests can also spawn here every 15 minutes containing LTBs, LMCs, and LACs. Players can also smelt Iron, Steel, and Gold ore here.
- (March 24th) Two new quests added. (No idea what these quests might be. Might have to do some sleuthing if nobody else knows.)
- (March 29th) Syrnia server moved to new 100mbit connection. Down for two hours.
- (April 1st) Drinking skill added as an April Fool's joke. The more in-game alcohol drank, the more you gain Drinking experience. Beer, 15 exp. Elven Cocktail, 30 exp. Keg of Rum, 300 exp. Motorrolla achieved the highest Drinking level (level 23) before the day was over, ladyraven143 came in second at level 20, and febreezy came in third at level 17. Full high scores at: https://www.syrnia.com/images/news/drinking.php
- (April 7th) New rules were written at syrnia.com/rules.m2h, a long-dead link. Waybackmachine is the people's hero.
- (April 10th) The Syrnia server was rolled back to April 3rd due to multiple reasons. There was a bug in the coding that caused a complete corruption of the inventory database due to an accidental input from a player. Also, due to the very recent move of the server, proper database backup procedures had not yet been implemented, the most recent backup being April 3rd. All inventories from April 3rd were restored. Also, all experience gained during the lost week was kept.
- (April 12th)The bug in the coding from April 10th happened again, a few hours away from the server backup. Inventories were, again, reset to their April 3rd states. All the experience gained was, again, kept. The code was checked again to ensure that this bug could never be recreated.
- (April 14th) 2006 Easter Event: Celebration Island was opened. Players could visit the Easter Bunny at Syrnia Celebration Center. Easter Eggs added. They could be found hidden across Syrnia. (Don't have much info for this event, or if it added more.

- (August 28th) The Battlemage was released. Fights are scheduled every so often. There are no CL brackets at this time. The Battlemage can be accessed via Kinam or Toothen. The Battlemage is for PvP against players in a similar Combat Level range, but a players' inventory is not lost upon death in the Desert Arena. Winning gives 200 exp in all combat stats and a Desert Arena Medal. Consumables cannot be brought into the Desert Arena, but raw food can be and can be cooked in two spots in the Arena.
- (August 29th) Journal page added as a donator option that allows you to save and edit notes via an in-game pop-up. The Journal page appears as a link under "Messages".
- (September 28th) Various tweaks and bug fixes: Syrnia in-game time was fixed. It was five minutes ahead. Cooking was fixed at the Pirate SH. The Forum page was given a clear page title. The same items with the same +durability won't all break at once when one breaks now. Game messages no longer count toward your total message count but are deleted after four weeks. When you go to "Recycle Shop" if the shop still contains gold, a warning indicates this. Another donation feature added (but not explained). Once a player donates at least 25 Euros, in-game ads are removed for them.
- (October 11th) Syrnia's homepage received another re-design, taking it to its third incarnation. Lockpicking experience gained for player thieving has been doubled, and shop thieving exp has been lowered. Some creatures drop Locked items more frequently.
- (October 12th) The respawning of creatures, chests, resources, and items in Arch Caves has been fixed. Previously, some were not properly respawning or respawning frequently enough. Movement timers on Remer were reduced. Tutorial Island was added for brand new players to learn the game before teleporting to Remer and beginning their journey. A new Beginner's Manual was added for those players who don't want to read as much before starting. The event manual was added. A new donator option for players who donated at least 50 Euros was added that allowed players to view the Highscore history from August 26th, 2006 to the present. A Tin Ore vein was discovered at Nabb Mines!
- (October 19th) Moderator tools were expanded with a more advanced report system. Mods can now automatically send a message to a punished player with the reason they were punished. Mods can now check the past crimes of all players.
- (October 20th) Shop item searching was improved and will now correctly show all results in a location when searching.
- (October 21st) The in-game layout was changed a good bit. (I don't know what changed, or have before&after pictures of the changes.) A layout change option was added to the options page. This layout is very basic with only a few images.

- (January 2nd) New Year's Celebration 2007. "Creatures from a country far away are moving towards our Islands. Time: 15:00 & 21:30." (Verbatim from Mike.

There is an increase of Roses found while walking across Syrnia.
- (March 5rd) Syrnia's 2nd Birthday. Party Island was opened. (I have no more information than this. Was anything new added?)

Five new quests have been added: "Lonely Bard", "Damsel in Distress, or Just Clueless", "Damsel in More Distress, or Really Clueless", "Frogs and Monkeys", and "Sick Fisher or Sick of Fishing".

- (May 23rd) Syrnia had a 72-hour downtime due to a complete architectural restructure that allows them to fix bugs and release updates faster than before. Farming crop timers were adjusted to +24 hours.
- (June 21st) The Game Help chat channel was added as channel 5. New players will only have access to this channel until the tutorial is completed. This channel will be used specifically for anyone who has any questions about the game to be able to find answers that don't already exist in the manual. New players logging in for the first time will now show in Game Help Chat, not World Chat.
- (June 23rd) Locked and unlocked containers can no longer be brought into the Battlemage, as some contain food, and some players were using this to great advantage.
- (July 7th) The Chat History page was improved and made to be more user-friendly. The clan forum's "last replies" now shows the last 20 replies, instead of the last 10 replies. It also groups the replies per topic, as the main forum does.
- (July 12th) Exrollia added, boasting a level 20 Cooking spot, and the ability to bake Bread at Stanro, a Small Boat Fishing spot, a Sloop Fishing spot, an Iron mind, a Coal mine, a smelting location for Iron, Steel, and Gold Bars, a level 40 forest, two new fighting locations (Ketil, Mordor Cave), six new creatures, a jail, a trading post, and a Cave of Trades. Walking in Exrollia is mostly done in one long line between locations, and there are auto-attacks between each location. Houses/Shops here can only be built at Pensax. Arena fights in the Battlemage are now split into Combat Level brackets: 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, and 40+. Pirates can now clean their jail for extra gold.
- (July 15th) A spot for Platina smelting has been discovered in Arch Caves 4. Platina can finally be smelted into bars and smithed into equipment.
- (July 20th) Chat History improvements. History was changed to only show chat channels that you are allowed to see. Only Pirates see Pirate Chat, and only clan members see their own Clan Chat.
- (August 7th) Optimization worked on for Syrnia's backend code and database, speeding up both and fixing current lag spikes.
- (August 29th) Fix for special armour/weapons. Before, Saurus armour, Centaur armour/weapons, and Rose Crest armour/weapons required--unintentionally--level 0 to wear, so all players could equip these from level 1. They were meant to require level 45, 35, and 15, respectively. This was fixed, and Saurus now requires level 40, Centaur requires level 30, and Rose Crest requires level 15. Players who are still wearing some of these items but are below the level required can continue wearing them, but if they are taken off, they won't be able to equip them again until they reach the intended level.

| Just a few things:
Pirate update (there used to be only the 4 weaker ones but 3 stronger ones were added plus Pirate weapons later removed).
Trading update (safes were added plus the quest : Securing the shops.) - around the 21st of Jan, 2013
Flowers (pirate crimson, Gladiola and Gardenia) old images , now updated.
Skeletons as Dino drops. (10 types)
Pura Gamans, Titanium Ore (added to arch 5) - 8th Nov, 2017
Jotunghul and Vaiva Elanor (added to Ogre town and Exella Plains respectively) - 8th Nov, 2017
Battle Mage Items added to game and Cooking removed from BM. (originally could only get the medals) - Different times for these 2 changes.
Slameyord added to game, (at first only given as reward in BM)
OLs update (used to be able to hit as fast as you could spam click but after update, a 2 second delay between hits was added although it is not perfect
Smithed item levels were changed (all items used to be level based to make and equip i.e: all silver items were level 40 to make and use, but after update all weapons and armour were given their own levels)
-6 tt enchants were added to the game (and boy , did Kyouji love it when that happened as he was only player close to that level at the time)
The massive script cheat debacle - where a bunch of players lost levels due to using an auto eat script and all scripts were banned from use in Syrnia (world chat during this time was AMAZING)
There are many, many more but its a start.

| Yeah, I'm going through news and announcements when I have time. I started on it last night, but couldn't finish so I wanted to post this in the meantime. | Balcarres [Hobos] 31-01-2020 00:03
| Damn, it was 08 or 09 when the first NPC showed up.
It was the Halloween Witch but limited. The concept was the same, pickpocket results not much different. But she gifted these crappy 2D black hats.
They were coded out of the game and the reaction was mixed; 50 love / 50 hate.
I loved it and when she was renewed (think 11/12) she was a star! And we have had NPC's ever since.
If anyone can nail down the years, thanks.
Edit: I am going 09 for appearance, 12 for renewal.

| That's great, Bal. XD Does anybody still have the original black hat image? | Lodes [CLEAN] 10-02-2020 19:23
| It would also be cool to have a players history.
For example the first TL 1000, Kyouji, on 16 March 2010 In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song.

| Pirate crimson, Gladiola and Gardenia were added to the game around May 2016 while the images were updated late 2019.
The Undead Warlock first made an appearance during Halloween 2016 (full warlock suit plus undead crow) (and maybe new flower ??)
Mrs Claus first Christmas was 2018 (full suit plus Puppy claws) as well as new Christmas creatures and lets not forget candy cane items were new this Christmas. (and maybe new flower ??)
The Egg Thief dropped by Easter 2019 (full suit) plus a new mount the Clydesdale.
Combat location drop changes
Between May 2016 and November 2016 these combat locations / creatures drops were changed including drop rates at some places.
Beset Catacombs : Grown food drops added.
Arch 5 Gamans : New drops added including locked items and gems to the 3 Gamans located here (including Lost caves).
Arch 4 Dinos : Skeletons added plus Saurus meat drop amounts increased.
Berian : better drops added.
Thick Jungle : better drops added.
Mordor Cave : worse drops added (like spades and burnts).
Kaldra : unsure if changed ?
Ogre Outpost and City : increased drop rate but drop value decreased, same time as addition of Jotunghuls. (Nov 8th)
Exella Plains : unsure if drops changed here apart from the addition of Vaiva Elanor to this location (Nov 8th)
While Sorer drops didnt change until the addition of Sorer Kings and Scary Spiders late 2019.
Edited on 10-02-2020 22:02 We should start referring to "Age" as "Levels" because "I'm at level 45" sounds more badass then just being an old person. | Pendragon [*TF*] 10-02-2020 22:29
| You've been a huge help, Loki. I'm going to get back to you in the future over some possible specifics for things. | Ner0 [~FoS~] 10-02-2020 23:06
| Puranium Gamans were added October 8th 2017

| Sadly I can't remember the date I hit 100 farming
And I wish I had a screenshot of 15 million wood Why would I shoot a bloke BANG, then carry him to the bloody car and wizz him off to the hospital at a hundred miles an hour? It defeats the purpose of having shot him in the first place. | Durins_Bane [Moria] 18-06-2020 16:31
| There was a set minimum number of days of playtime a player had to have achieved before they could actually sit on Santa's lap. (Why was this?)
This was to stop players spoofing their I.P. Creating new characters and sailing to port party, getting gems/seeds from santa, trading with their primary account then creating another account.
(October 17th) Official word by M2H on the "Outlands bug" and their response to the situation. (What was this bug? Anyone know?)
Lag spike bug. Players would go into OL with 1 of as many low value items as they could and drop them at ol35. When you arrived at OL35 you would then have to load all of these images and in the lagg that created you'd be killed while never seeing OL35.
24/12/12 Frost Gamans added as an invasion monster and Jesus they gave out monster EXP.

I remember the great rat war, I have flashbacks of it. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. | Pages: 1- 2
