End of the Glory Season
The Glory Season of War will end on Thursday, October 1, 2026, with Wednesday, September 30 serving as the final day of the current season.
On September 30, it will no longer be possible to earn or lose Nation Points, and the scoreboards for other season-based rankings, including Glory and Arena, will be frozen.
When the new season begins, the following seasonal rankings will reset:
- Nation Points
- Glory Points
- Arena Ranking Points
What is a Glory Season?
Glory is a season-based ranking system that rewards players for participating in faction-vs-faction-vs-faction PvP.
A season lasts approximately two months, with the highest-ranking players earning unique titles and Gold based on their performance.
Additionally, every Thursday night, players receive a Contribution Points (CP) bonus based on their leaderboard position. CP is an in-game currency that can be used to purchase special items from the Glory Quartermasters.
What Happens to My Character?
Don't worry, your character progression is not reset when a Glory Season ends.
Your characters, levels, progression, equipment, items, and other non-seasonal progress will remain with you.
Only the seasonal ranking standings are reset.

State of War: Guild Filters Are Coming!
Looking for the right guild to challenge?
Our update launching September 18 introduces the first iteration of filters for State of War, designed to make it easier to find suitable opponents.
In addition, guilds will now be displayed by activity level by default, ensuring the most active guilds appear at the top of the list.
You'll find new filtering options on the left side of the Visiting panel, allowing you to sort the guild list based on:
- Guild Level
- Guild Server
- Guild Nation
And this is only the first iteration!
We plan to expand the filtering system with additional options in the future, including:
- Zones
- Guild Activity
- Battle Limit
- And more
We'll continue developing the system as we see how guilds use these new tools.

More State of War Improvements
Alongside the new filters, the September 18 update includes several fixes and improvements for State of War and the Alliance system:
- Fixed an issue where alliance members on the defending side could see the list of registered players from the opposing side.
- Fixed several cases that could cause listed battles in the Diplomacy panel to disappear following a server restart.
- Addressed several edge cases within the Alliance system that could cause visual issues in the Diplomacy and Upcoming Events panels.
- Additional Alliance system fixes have been implemented to address edge cases that could interfere with upcoming State of War battles.
- Upcoming battles in the Diplomacy panel are now displayed in chronological order, from earliest to latest.
We'll continue monitoring State of War and improving the system as battles continue across Gloria Victis.
