New World Update 1.8.3 downtime will begin at 11:00 PM PT (7:00AM UTC) on February 21st. It marks the start of the Legacy of Crassus event and includes various Leaderboards fixes.

LEGACY OF CRASSUS

• The might of Rome threatens Aeternum from February 21 to March 7. Hunt down General Crassus' monstrous captains and banish the shadow of Roman tyranny in an all-new event. Following a plan set in motion long ago, Crassus's forces have invaded the southern lands to unleash the cyclopses Lucanus and Decimus.

• Players brave enough to face these world bosses can search for portals in Brightwood, Weavers Fen, Mourningdale, Ebonscale Reach, and Edengrove.

• Each victory nets Adventurers event-specific, daily rewards.

• Explore the announcement for more details.
