Stalkers!

The New Year update will bring to the game new methods of third-party software tracking.
This means we can finally declare the long-waited-for amnesty of all players who were banned by the previous administration.
After the New Year update, you can return to the game.
ATTENTION!
Third-party software will now be tracked much more efficiently, so do not think it will be allowed!
The amnesty does not apply to fraudsters and scammers, they are not and will never be welcome here.

If you were previously banned for something other than fraudulence/scamming and are still unable to log in to the game after the New Year patch is installed - please contact Tech Support for assistance.

Happy coming New Year - and congrats on the new era in the history of our beloved project!
Play fair!

Stalkers!

The Zone is waking up from its long sleep. New players arrive, veterans return. We are getting lots of questions about the game mechanics and the quests. Some of you may have completed part of a quest, then taken a break and forgotten where you were, others are just making their first steps. We are updating our video guides. And we cannot do it without your help.

What is already planned:
☢ All about artifacts. Where to get them, what buffs/debuffs they give, how you can use them.
☢ Reputation with different factions. Their interconnection and benefits.
☢ Old Stalker quests.

What other video guides would be helpful? Please tell us in comments!

Congratulations to the Arena Champions!

The first player to find her character and successfully trade with her, will get prizes.
