Erenshor’s Bard Class Arrives With Verses of Adventure on December 1

Posted on by

Erenshor’s next major update, Verses of Adventure, is set for Tuesday, December 1, bringing the previously teased Bard class to the single-player simulated MMORPG.

The Bard sounds like a full class release rather than a small side addition. Players will get access to existing songs, plus a system for “writing” custom songs by combining more than 55 chords and notes. The class will also have three rare planar versions of chords and notes, along with Bard-focused gear that includes higher-tier equipment.

Verses of Adventure isn’t only for players rolling a Bard, though. The update also expands the world with a rebuilt Ripper’s Keep, now turned into a functioning city with services and other amenities. There’s also a new dungeon, Glowmere Grotto, aimed at characters from levels 22 to 29.

  • Several new world quests are being added.
  • Players will get more hotbars.
  • SimPlayer and SimPlayer raid group management is being improved.
  • Graphics and lighting are getting upgrades, with performance improvements also mentioned.
  • Charisma is being adjusted to have a stronger effect.

Erenshor’s whole pitch is that it plays like an MMORPG without needing other real players, filling its world with AI-style “SimPlayers” that group, chat, and raid around you. A class built around songs and party utility fits that setup pretty naturally, especially with raid group tools also getting attention in the same update.
