HOLA, BRUTECONIANS.
I'm excited to announce the BruteCO Nexus, your brand new account management hub at https://nexus.bruteco.com/. Nexus is designed to make managing your BruteCO accounts easier and more secure than ever. Whether you need to recover a forgotten username or reset your password, Nexus has you covered.
For our long-time players who created accounts before we started requiring emails (Pre-November 28th, 2024), we’ve added a new feature in-game. You can now assign an email address to your account through the LoveStone in Market, where you usually can change your password. Here’s how it works:
1. Go to LoveStone: Interact with the LoveStone in Market.
2. Assign Your Email: Choose the option "[Assign Account Email]". Set your email, enter it again to confirm it and proceed.
3. Done! Once your email is set, you can use Nexus to recover your account details or manage multiple accounts easily.
Why assign an email?

🆘 Santa Needs Your Help!
I'm excited to announce a new festive event to celebrate the holiday season: Santa's Lost Gifts! Join forces with your fellow players to help Santa recover the lost Christmas gifts scattered throughout the world and earn amazing rewards for your efforts. Santa Claus has had a mishap. He was loaded and crashed his sleigh and lost all the gifts meant for the children! I think it was mostly Frostbite's fault.. since he's a horse and not a reindeer. He needs your assistance to find and return these Christmas Gifts. But remember, don't be tempted to open them yourself; Santa has special rewards for those who bring the gifts back to him.
🎁 Find Christmas Gifts:
Defeat monsters anywhere and have a chance at finding Christmas Gifts.
🎅 Return Gifts to Santa:
Visit Santa in Twin City.
Interact with him and choose the [Return Christmas Gifts] option.
Santa will accept all the gifts you have at once and reward you accordingly.
👍 For Each Gift Returned:
Receive a special reward item from Santa.
Possible rewards include Meteors, Meteor Tears, Magic Lamps, Fabled Coffers, Moon Boxes, and Epic Keys.
You can open up Christmas Gifts too, but it defeats the purpose of the event, and you have chances at gaining Epic Keys by giving them to Santa instead. It's the only way to get Christmas Hats if you want one though! Christmas Gifts however do have gear rewards similar to Treasure Chests but with higher attribute and plus rates. Just a heads up.
🤯 Better Rewards with More Gifts Returned:
The more gifts returned by all players collectively, the better the rewards become for everyone!
As the community reaches certain thresholds, the chances of receiving rare items increase.

These patch notes come with a client update, be sure to run BruteLaunch.exe and update your client to the latest version!
Player Refresh System:
A new system to ensure players are correctly displayed on each other’s screens. When players move in and out of range, their positions are refreshed to keep everyone’s view accurate. The system checks player positions regularly but only updates them when needed, such as a new player entering your view range versus a player that has already been on your screen for a while.
This update is to address the invisible players issue. It's not a guaranteed fix as I can't easily replicate the issue, but the system should help. We will experiment and keep an eye on it. I can only link the initial issue with the garment update, where some client-sided files were adjusted. There wasn't anything else I had updated that I can relate to this issue, so it's been a bit of a struggle. This system basically "reloads" the character on your screen, so I'm hoping it resolves the issue. We may have to make some tweaks here and there, we will see.
