Ave Gladiators!

Since we didn't have any great changes in Gladiatus for quite a while, and rumours start spreading that Gladiatus will be shut down, I want to give you a little explanation here

First of all, sorry for the long time of waiting and a short explanation why everything takes so long, and overall, a BIG NO to the rumours of Gladiatus being stopped. In relation with these rumours the theory popped up that we are tactically waiting to see if you spend enough money. Also this rumour I can happily answer with NO.

What actually happens at the moment is that the whole code of Gladiatus is being restructured. Like you might have noticed, we had to deal with a lot of bugs caused by previous updates, in the way: fix something here, something on the other side breaks again. To prevent these things, the code is being restructured, in other words: The code is being written almost completely new, but as soon as this is finished, new features and content can be implemented way easier, quicker and safer.

Unfortunately the recoding isn't done yet and we have to wait another while for big changes.

BUT I could put through the request for changes before the whole recoding is done .
I' m not allowed to tell you a lot, but what I can say is:

The planned update is finally bringing back some fun into the game, some of the present problems for High Level players will be solved, and it will introduce a feature that will make ALL of you work together and be successful together!
Like I said, I can't tell you more at the moment If everything goes well, we can happily welcome the update in about a month.

Since I'm in steady contact with the team, I also collected a big bunch of new ideas reported from you, the players. That goes from little things like “Guild-Market fees go into the guild bank” to bigger ideas like “cross-server tournaments”. Which of all these things will be implemented or what is realizable, I can' t say yet.

But believe me, I´m putting a lot of effort in Gladiatus and try to get finally some progress in gameplay, fun and excitement Unfortunately I'm not the one to decide things in the end.

Like I said:
It's being worked on Gladiatus a lot, unfortunately you can't see a lot of the work yet.
I will try to inform you more often about the actual state of the game from now on

Last but not least:
Thanks to all of you who support this game and our work with their ideas and also critics, I truly appreciate that a lot.

All the best,

Gameforge, Gladiatus-Team

Ave Gladiators!
First of all: Sorry for the lack of good news or any news recently.

We are still fighting with the code which is definitely in need of some restoration.
We fell way back in the time schedule due to new bugs, technical problems with the servers etc.
There is more to do than we expected in the beginning. At the moment bugs behave a bit like the Hydra: Cut one head off and two new ones will grow. It's getting better, but we are still not out of the woods. I don't want to sugarcoat this, I just want to tell you how it looks like at the moment.

Just a little information about the new version numbers:
From now on all bugfix versions or other versions will be named in 0.1 steps (0.6 /0.7 etc.). Only hotfixes or other tiny but necessary fixes will get a “0.61” for example.
So like you already noticed, the 0.6 isn't the expected content package. I will post infos about that soon again.

At the moment we are working at pressure on some nice new thing for you guys, meaning the first Gladiatus Ingame-Event.

The idea for this has grown out of the 3 years anniversary of Gladiatus which we can celebrate this month.
How exactly the event will go I can't tell you yet. But what I can tell you is that at the end of the dangerous path you will be confronted by several enemies of which all are protecting a treasure of rubies. Which enemies you will have to fight and how great the treasure will be that you get, depends on your skill and success.

The integration of this event is / will be done in a re-usable way, so we are able to offer more ingame events in the future. I hope you like the idea.

A preview on the background of the event and one of the bosses will be given to you soon

So far these are all news that I can give you, I hope I can bring you more good news soon.
It's in my own interest to get back to a Gladiatus that amazes the players, surprises with new features, and just brings back the fun.

All the best,Gladiatus team - Gameforge

The rite of Cas'Va

Gladiatus is celebrating its 3rd birthday this month and for that Gameforge came up with a special surprise for you.
"The rite of Cas'Va" is a little event which was especially built for the birthday of Gladiatus.
We want to say thanks to all our loyal players and offer you some information about the event here.
Have fun!

(Description of first image)
Three brothers, three countries, 3 emperors...
Here you can see the first of the three brothers, a warrior from Germania. Together with his two brothers, this powerful soldier was abandoned by a group of brave warriors a long time ago. He is the oldest of the three and can compete with a whole company of soldiers on his own.
