For those of you who haven't visited the MMORPG Archlord for the past couple of days, be informed that Codemasters had already applied the Christmas patch for the game. Archlord, for the uninitiated, will remain live during the holiday season.

If you run into problems because of this patch, you need not worry as Codemasters had already increased its internal support for the game in a collaboration with Canada-based company Alchemic Dream.

Anyway, we are pretty sure that this announcement alone makes you want to join Chantra residents once again but before you do, take a close look at these changes brought about by the Christmas patch:

• Find the Xmas Bell and Bell combination coupon to get Xmas socks
• The Xmas Bell and Bell combination coupon will drop randomly from all the monsters in Chantra
• If you collect 10 Xmas bells and combine them with Bell combination coupon, you will receive the Xmas socks, these in turn give the players a selection of in-game items.
• Xmas Quest
• The Animal Breeder of each race will give players the Xmas quest to find a replacement for Rudolf.
• Be sure to read the text carefully for clues on were to go.
• Once quest is completed, players will receive a special gift box.
•  X-mas tree
• There will be an Xmas tree in each town.
