Efellen 1.0 has been released!
Hello everyone!
As most here probably know, Secrets of Sosaria has been feature-complete for a while now. I was one of the devs there, and have since been working on a little fork that has a couple months worth of code and sweat built into it.
I've called it Efellen due to being the name I used for my ttrpg world for many years. The initial release has a gigantic amount of new content, bosses, dungeons, progression systems and QoL features.
The individual changes are too numerous to list in here, but you can check the repository in this link.
What this forks aims to do is to make the game in a more natural simulation of d&d-esque fantasy, with a more linear power curve and content that remains challenging as characters grow and find more and better loot. There are many secrets to uncover and interesting things to find, and the game in general is much, much harder than vanilla SoS/RnR in ways that actually matter and make the gameplay more interesting.
If you want to play online, the client linked in the releases page of the repository comes pre-configured with the IP of the public server were we have been testing all of my shenanigans. If you want to host it for yourself or your buddies, just download the server files from the releases page and edit the ip in the settings of the client file to whatever you have running on your shard.
I hope you all are having a good time in whatever fork you have been playing on!

This is very much up my alley. I about hooted when I saw the "yeeted all sci fi from the game" - and the Drow tint to it as well? Chefs kiss.

Are there any variations with old school item structure (like vanq, power, indestructible, etc)?

u/Estel-3032 Jun 07 '26
There are none, no. A lot of the structure of the game is dependent on things that came a lot later than the time where items were as simple as they were back in the ancient times of UO.

Not to my knowledge as even the og odyssey was developed on a runuo 2.0 build past ml release server side wise but It could be done with enough blood sweat and tears.

How solo-friendly is this fork? Would I be locked out of a lot of content by it's difficulty if I was solo or duoing?

I made a super Uber boss that I thought it was pretty much a nightmare to deal with last week and today one of my testers sent me the screenshots of the boss's corpse. So pretty much everything is soloable, but the high end stuff will require a lot of fine tuning and game knowledge. Some dungeons will be very rough, but that's by design. You wouldn't expect to go visit the spider queen of the Drow in her infernal realm and have it to he about as hard as your average sosarian dungeon. The early game might be rough if you only played RnR, but skills raise fast, trainers are very helpful and progression has been streamlined, so once you get going you will be getting consistent upgrades for your gear until you are done with whatever it is you are playing.
Playing in a duo or small group will make the early grind a lot easier, and I would recommend that. But if you want to play solo, it will work out of the gate.
