Many new adventures await -- of brawn and brain, of mystery and great foe! Histories are to be unfolded, tragedies will be discovered. Test of strength will challenge each Duran who ventures beneath the dunes, and once below them he will either be swallowed up or come back arms laden with treasure.





Today Ank II is added to Dura! Something for everyone awaits across the desert sands of The Kha'labal! The game's endgame has been extended a great deal with new challenges awaiting each player and rewards! Much has been added, and much has been changed. Overall Dura will now not only have a great deal more to explore and vanquish but the game expands with new mechanics as well as increased depth in its gameplay, and finally a great deal of balancing and tightening up.


Note on Playing - New Launcher:
To play Ankrahmun II and Dura overall you will need to download a new Dura Launcher. A Launcher is essentially an updater that always starts up before the Client is loaded - it happens all seamlessly and automatically. For the player it's as simple as opening the Client, but instead now you will open the Launcher when you want to play. Every time you load Dura's Launcher it will automatically update anything that is new in Dura, a game-patch, a client-patch. Everything. For all intents and purposes the Launcher is simply the Client.

During this time a Dura Logo Graphic will pop up and remain on your screen which is when the download/update of the Dura Client is taking place. Sooner than later we will add a progress-loading-bar so you can follow the progress, but for now the logo will simply sit there. On a day like today where it's the first time The Launcher will run the entire process it will be between 1 to even 5 minutes, and this whole time the Dura Logo Graphic will be present and unmoving. This is normal. However after the first time The Launcher will take no longer than your Client would normally. You'll open the launcher and your client will pop up immediately.

The Game-Launcher has many advantages over a Game-Client which will make Dura overall a much better experience. You can download the Launcher here: https://classic.dura-online.com/?downloads If you have any problems please tell us in Discord - General Support


Note on Testing:
When we finished Ank II we thought we'd spend a day or two testing, no sweat and she'd be out. Boy we're we wrong -- 12 days! But we're saying this as good news: we spent A LOT of time to thoroughly test, debug, and balance things. So while I'm sure there will be some bugs as they have a wonderful way of hiding, overall you should have a very smooth experience with minimal bugs.
