At the turn of a new year, we have decided for the first time in our almost 9 years online to grant amnesty and pardon all players whose accounts have been permanently closed. We receive many appeals from accounts that have been banned for years due to infractions that occurred so long ago. We do not like to permanently remove players from their characters, their progress, and their time they have put into Smolderforge. As of this post, we have unbanned all accounts that were previously permanently closed. This is a 2nd chance -- not a fresh start. Your ban history and all remains, as does our right to remove you again due to rule breaking. Take advantage of our amnesty, and come back and have fun.

Happy Holidays!
