Welcome!
This help site is for players of the online game, Shilla. Shilla is an old text-based RPG that has its roots in the 90's and ultimately died in 2008. The game was brought back from the dead once in 2010. Since 2019, Shilla is currently up and running again under new ownership and leadership. They have tried to recreate the game from where it was at in 2008, while adding their own changes here and there in hopes of making Shilla a more enjoyable game. Whether you are a new player or a returning veteran, the hope is that this helpsite can provide all the information you need to play the game.
Make sure you look at Top Bar Description and Guides for how to navigate the wiki and how to play Shilla, if you aren't familiar from before, or a brand new player entirely to the game.
If you are looking for a specific item, or topic, or whatever… in game, type in chat "/wiki [name]" and search results will come up that hopefully can help you as well.
Note anything after 2025 will not be mentioned in here, since the wiki authors have left the game and will not be updating any new content. If any newer pages are written, they aren't verified by Aa or Bp. You should however, join the Shilla Discord page, as news updates are saved there, and Buggy can talk more freely about things in development/in game from there.
Any recent pages written, or edited can be viewed here: Site Changes
Enjoy!

I aimed to get a post updated before Halloween, so this definitely counts.
Yeah, Bp is correct, my heart is focused on many other things at the moment. Playing the Parallel Kingdom clone, Parallel Echoes, that has been out since June. PK was the game that had my heart after Old Shilla died in 2008, and I played that one for over six years until it too died. So to finally see someone successfully recreate the game is a pull I was unable to resist. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’ll never return to Shilla, seeing BnB back regularly will likely be enough to make me pop in for a hi from time to time.
Mostly, I’m working on becoming a special education teacher, substitute teaching enough to pay the bills, and using the rest of my small free time watching sports.
I continue to read the new messages that appear on discord, and BP and I are pretty good about checking in with each other monthly at least.
So I’ll see you when I see ya.
and Happy Hunting until then!
PS: Happy 2026, Shilla!

New Wall is up, and that will be my final post on the wiki. Or I guess this is.
For the last several months(likely since AA went away to do rl things, and Magic, Delvion, and Noobnoob left) my heart really isn't into the game. My heart will always be towards the wiki though, and that's why I've stayed as long as I have. If I didn't have this to deal with, I'd likely have been gone years ago. I enjoy the gameplay, but I enjoy writing about it more.
Lately though, there have been so many changes that I don't understand, cosmetically and gameplay wise, that I just can't keep up and can't bother myself to research. And by research it generally meant, playing through the content first hand as a non-admin player, then going back more and likely lately through the developer menu to get data, and using Gemini AI to help write it if needed.
A small part of me also wonders if Buggy creates the newer areas to power train himself to be top player, or to amuse himself, or whatever else is on his mind. Regardless, not my problem anymore.
I have to realize I'm also an addict, and my addiction is Shilla. It hasn't ruined my life like it did when I played before, but it's definitely been a hinderance to what I wish to accomplish in the real world.
I have for now decided on letting Satan, Becca or whoever has access to make and edit new pages, if they so choose. I debated locking it down, but I didn't see the point at this moment in time.
I don't plan on deleting my characters, or leaving the Discord channel, but I will be taking steps to remove Shilla influence by firewall denying Shilla, and deleting Discord from my phone and desktop. If I can't seem to do that effectively, then I might need to delete them too. But I'd like to once in a while say hi, or just take a peek at what I've missed…. maybe. Maybe not.
If this is truly goodbye, and on my end I believe so, I hope the wiki kept you going in Shilla, and will for any future players.
Take Care,
Kyle
About us!
| Bp/Kyle | I played in 2001-2008 under the name Bizarro-Phoenix aka Bp. I enjoyed gathering information and this is how this site came into existence. I helped with the recreation of this version to some extent, but I do not play on a daily basis. I have a full time job, full time college, a wife and 4 animals so I don't have the time to play like I used to. This helpsite has stayed alive longer than any version of Shilla has, and as long as it is free to me, I will continue to do so. | |
| AA/Jeff | I started playing around 2003 until the Big Crash in early Sept 2008. Bp and I had already been working on this wiki for over a year when that occurred. When Mediathrall started working Redemption we started a wiki for that, archiving this one as a memorial of sorts, never thinking it would be used again. I had moved on to other games at that point, Parallel Kingdoms until it died in 2016, and am currently helping in the closed beta test of it's remake, Parallel Origins. Looking forward to picking up where I left off with Shilla: Fall of the Warlock! |
