Hello Realmers,

At age 25, he’s one of our most dedicated testers and started playing the game out of spite with a friend from Steam (thank you, Steam friend!). Say hello and meet Ukunavi. (And don’t forget that tomorrow starts a very cool event!)

My name is Patrick. I’m Danish and I’m 25 years old.

I work in retail as a deputy manager. I’m responsible for the daily management of the place I work at.
My workday consists of dealing with customers, giving my colleagues the right tools to do their job the most optimal way, to always having items in stock to sell.

I don’t think I have any hidden talents or maybe I haven’t discovered them yet. I listen to a lot of music and I can listen to almost anything. I like music in the harder styles the most though. 140+ BPM and I’m good to go.

I started playing Realm of the Mad God back in early April 2012. An old Steam friend of mine told me that I must play this game. At first, I asked him wtf is this as I was mostly playing FPS games back then, so it was quite overwhelming going from Call of Duty and Counter-Strike graphics to the old RotMG Flash graphics with a set resolution that couldn’t be changed. I think I got to blue star after playing for a few months but then started playing other games because I lost interest in RotMG.
After seeing one of my friends get to red star I wanted to one-up him. I think that was partly the reason I started playing again to show my friend I was better.
What kept me hooked and a big reason I’ve played ever since is the new people I met within the game and started talking to.

Hello Realmers,

Soooo…cool stuff to try out today on T1. We’re sure that you’ll want to try those new STs, but while you are doing it, pay close attention to the reworked star ranks. And you can do all that while clearing Fungal Cavern, Lost Halls and Third Dimension. These dungeons will have portals in the Nexus so you can go in right away.

Please remember that your regular account will not be enough to access the Testing server. You’ll need one created specifically for testing. If it’s the first time you are entering the testing servers, please create a new one.

And go over to the blog to check out the new ST sets and Star Rank system.

Hello Realmers,
We are happy to let you know that the music we all love and cherish is making its way back into the game. With this minor update we are bringing the Original Soundtrack back. It also fixes some bugs.

Here are the changes that were made:

• Added the OST music back into the game. OST By WangleLine and Aiden Strozzi (aka Spave)
  
• Fixed a bug that caused Pet skins text to spill out of the borders of the tooltip.

Hello Realmers,

We will host a new public testing session this weekend. You’ll be able to enter Oryx Sanctuary and Lost Halls directly from the Nexus and… well lets say that you should play with some volume on your headphones, because you might hear something familiar. Yes, all the themes composed by WangleLine and Aiden Strozzi are making their way back into the game and you can check them out again in this testing session.

Please remember that your regular account will not be enough to access the Testing server. You’ll need one created specifically for testing. If it’s the first time you are entering the testing servers, please create a new one.

Stay tuned to the official Discord announcement channel, because that’s where we will say when the session will begin.

Hello curious Realmers,

You might know him has PishPatter, or just Pish. He’s 29 years old and one of our partnered content creators. He comes from “wonderful rainy” Scotland and has been playing RotMG from almost 10 years. Meet PishPatter.

Hail to our land of providence strong
A home to all heritage and trades
Hail to the allies who join us in song
May the realm never need to draw blades
Hail to the rulers of benevolent kind
Their wisdom through all lands renowned
And hail to the kingdom of faultless design
Shall it evermore serve the crowned
Greetings, Realmers.

While it is not Month of the Mad God yet, you can soon be part of an unprecedented event dedicated to lore, and namely the lore of The Shatters. Remember what has been forgotten, and exchange knowledge for power…

Ancient scrolls have been unearthed, revealing glimpses of the history of the Shattered Kingdom and the inner workings of its Royal Court right before the Kingdom’s collapse. Twenty of them will gradually become able to be found by enterprising adventurers in selected dungeons and the Realm. Collecting these scraps of history will be rewarded by the everpresent Tinkerer with peculiar artifacts of the Shattered Kingdom itself.

Learn everything about this awesome event on our blog post.

Hello Realmers,

This is a minor update, but don’t be fooled by the name. It brings important changes that will affect the way you play and enjoy RotMG. Well, at least for those of you who are really interested in the lore and overall narrative of the game. Some things will start to make more sense now, as a new chapter unfolds in the Mad God’s story.

Please check the release notes at the {LINK REMOVED}oficial blog.

Hey Realmers,

Thank Oryx It’s Friday! In a lovely conversation with our Testers and UGC members, we came up with a series of things that might indicate you have been playing a bit of RotMG. How many of these can you relate to?

1. You have a worn out R key;
   
2. You have a notable affinity for “keys”;
   
3. When you mention “PPE”, the first thing you think of isn’t personal protective equipment;
   
4. You always check the white bags that arrive from the grocery store. You never know;
   
5. You have a love – hate relationship with DECA. (We love you, tho.);
   
6. You have seen Niegil die once or twice;
   
7. Trying to max out characters and being extra careful with them in any other game, despite it not; being permadeath, nor meant for grinding;
   
8. You have a pet named Oryx;
   
9. You organize a night out with friends through Discord and call it a “run”;
   
10. You end up staying home because there’s still a pandemic going on…

Oh, and don’t forget. On the 2nd of June it will be the first time you’ll be able to purchase the Scientific Summoner ST. At that same day you’ll be able to claim the free “Be proud” pack.

He’s one the guys behind the data based decisions we make here at DECA. And after the first answers you’ll soon realize that there’s something fishy with him… apart from playing Runescape for the last 15 years. Meet Volvax.

My in-game name is Volvax I am from Romania and I am 30 years old. My job currently at Deca Games is a Data Analyst within the Business Intelligence team. My main job is to ensure data integrity, cleaning, and extraction. The idea behind this is to listen to the data in order to make informed decision for the game, its features, and new additions.

One of my hidden talents is that I enjoy fishing keeping and breeding. I have had several tanks in the past, so much so, that I had categories (...)
