Hello Antinomized Realmers,

This week you’ll get two updates that will change the way RotMG is played. In two days you’ll get the reworked version of The Shatters. But today, you get the first.
Dungeon Modifiers
Say hi to the new Dungeon Modifiers system! Hoping you will learn a little bit more about the new feature that will forever change how you explore dungeons.

Now, dungeons can spawn with Dungeon Modifiers (or Dungeon Mods, for short). You can now hover over the portal to see a full description of the Dungeon Mods it has.

Dungeon Mods can be “positive” to you (green color) or “negative” (red color), in the sense that they can increase or decrease the risk of the dungeon, and the rewards you can obtain from it.

Once you are inside a Dungeon, you can quickly see the Dungeon Mods applied to it. Press the "Log" key (default: K) and you will see a list.


If the dungeon has Dungeon Mods, then it will have a Grade. The Grade of a dungeon will indicate, as an overall measurement, how intense the Dungeon Mods of that dungeon are. The best (and the most dangerous) Dungeon Mods belong to the highest grades. It's important to note that Dungeons spawned in the realm do not always spawn with Dungeon Mods.

As we think the Grade of a Dungeon might be an interesting factor for you, the Portal itself has a highlighted border of the color of the Grade. This might help you identify them faster.


Furthermore, if you hold the Quick-Look key (default: CONTROL (Win) / COMMAND (Mac)) you will also see the name and grade of the Dungeon portal.

Another interesting usability tip: if you hold the Quick-Look key (CONTROL(Win)/COMMAND(Mac)) and click on a Dungeon portal, you will do a Callout.

Everyone in the same realm as you will get a Notification about this Dungeon. You don't need to type "wlab" in the chat anymore if you don't want to! ;)

Of course, this quality of life feature also works with normal portals that don’t have Dungeon Mods.

The Difficulty rating of Dungeons was changed from the previous design: now it supports up to 10 "gravestones" of difficulty. The more “gravestones”, the harder the dungeon is. The Dungeon Mods on a particular Dungeon can also affect this difficulty rating.

When you enter a dungeon, you will also see this new Difficulty meter in the loading screen.

Keys can have Dungeon Mods too! Hover over the tooltip to show a description of any Dungeon Mods it can have. So you can see which ones it has before you use it.

And the coolest of all, try CTRL+Clicking a Key to open the Key Refining Panel where you can manipulate the Dungeon Mods of a Key!

These are the operations you can do:

• Upgrade a “normal” Key to “D Grade”.
  
• Upgrade a modded Key to any Grade you want.
  
• Reroll a modded Key, discarding the current Dungeon Mods and replacing them with new ones.
  
• Downgrade a Key to a previous Grade.
  
• Reset a Key completely, stripping it out of any mods whatsoever.

Bear in mind that any upgrade or reroll operation has a Gold cost. Downgrading and resetting have no cost.
We have prepared a more detailed guide to go with this release. Please follow the link to find an extensive list of all the Dungeon Mods in the current version!

A counter now shows how many characters (from a total 128) you can input before the message is too long to send.
Void and Daeva Prisons now spawn 10 minutes after a Realm opens.

Hello Mighty Realmers,

Change. Change across the Realm. Crumbling over the multiple, fragmented realities of a world with thousands of destinies, and yet, a vast power is sweeping through them all. The winds of Chaos have permeated into every single plane, mortal or divine, and that was just one of the many signs. Even the Daeva, the race who remained neutral to the cruelest rulers of the worlds, could not stay quiet this time.

Forgotten forces awaken. And nowhere is safe.

An apocalyptic battle is descending upon the Realm. Month of the Mad God: Antinomy is all about choices and opposites, and it is finally beginning. In the wake of this battle between Void and Light, the Realm might not emerge the same as it's been before... Throughout the next couple of weeks, you’ll experience events and improvements that will forever change the way you play Realm.

Before we get started with this kickoff to MotMG, we’d like to inform you right away that Dungeon Modifiers will be added to the game on Tuesday, the 24th, and the Shatters rework on Thursday, the 26th. We are finishing the last touches on both features and want to ensure they are released when ready. To get your hands on the new Enchantments feature, you will have to wait a little while longer still.

Now, for more detail about the things you can experience right now, check out the blog!

Hello, treacherous Realmers,

Oryx got to where he is now by duplicity and treason. In The Vying, you have been following his path to glory; now, you may want to follow his moral failings. The following quests are available since August 12:
(Name: Requirements; Reward; Type; Time)



Why would you want to betray your side for the cost of 10 Strife Tokens, since betrayal always has a price? (Remember to keep 30 of these tokens to get your pet skin later on!). Well, for fun. Or because you have changed your mind. To try to tip the scales one way or another. Or to inflame the discourse. Redeem yourself, or fall from grace!

Now that the scales have been mentioned, check how that’s going at the blog.

Greetings, Realmers,

Tomorrow, Friday the 6th, preparations for a great battle are starting. You can participate in The Vying until Monday, Aug 16th, choosing your side in the clash of Chaos and Order and at the same time following Oryx’s path to greatness - which was also the Shattered Kingdom’s descent into ruin. Many choices made in this era formed the Realm we know today, and choices must now also be made by you. Perhaps more than one choice.

Please go to the blog to learn more

Hello Realmers,
He’s been with you since October, 2020, loves to cook and has a cat named Balder which you’ve probably seen on a Tuesday live stream.

Wotansson, Portuguese, 40

I’m the community manager. This means I get to spend the majority of my time with you, the community.

I’m a people person. I love to communicate and solve problems. This is what I do, no matter what job I have. Community Management fits this perfectly.

Realm’s community is quite unique. I could go on and on about how passionate the players are, but that might just be a consequence of having a game become part of your life for the last DECAde. Some of the players have grown with the game, and that shows. They know it very well. RotMG is, and always will be, (...)
Read the rest of the interview on the blog.

The Crawling Depths and Woodland Labyrinth will host a chest event that will take place from Friday, the 30th of July at 12 PM UTC, until Monday, the 2nd of August, at 12 PM UTC.

Checkout the drops on the blog.

Hello Realmers,

Today we bring you one of the moderators from the official Discord Server. Loves the Socerer and wants an Assassin rework pretty badly. Meet Brillo.

Nationality and Age?I’m 22 years old and I was born in Trinidad but grew up in the US.

What is your day job? Tell us about it.I work as a newly promoted Tech Sales Supervisor in a retail chain called Staples which sells products to businesses, schools, and individuals. My area of expertise is electronic product sales, tech services, customer interactions, and making sure products we carry on hand are on the shelf for our clients. As mentioned prior, I am also in the midst of training for my new position so I will have some more responsibilities but I know I'm capable.

Any hidden talents or hobbies?To address the big elephant in the room, I am indeed a furry! It’s been a hobby of mine since my high school years and I’ve enjoyed all the amazing and talented people I’ve met in it. Can’t say I would be who I am today if I never joined the fandom. As for hidden talents…I can play the trumpet decently well due to middle/high school band, although admittedly I’m rusty.

How and when did you start playing RotMG?I was introduced to RotMG in the Fall of 2012 by one of my best friends. We played it a lot in the school library during the study period and once I found out it had a browser version, I started playing it at home. Many days (and nights) were spent playing it and I still remember getting my first stat pot (speed!) drop and first t8 weapon (horror) like it was yesterday.

Favorite Class, Dungeon, and Item?My favorite class has always been Sorcerer. I find the combination of his stats to be super satisfying. Not too fast like dagger classes, but not too slow like some other robe classes. Also 75 vit?! That still amazes me to this day.
My favorite dungeon is The Shatters. I turned that passion into pursuing Raid Leading in the Shatters Discord server and have made it all the way to Head Raid Leader! I've been at it for over a year now and have no plans of stopping when the rework comes out. I'm very excited about it.
My favorite item has to be The Forgotten Crown for its pure versatility among all classes and its rarity making it an incredibly sought-after accessory.

What other games do you play?My PC isn't the most powerful so I'm limited. However, I love playing fps, rhythm, and fighting games like Call of Duty, Geometry Dash, and Rivals of Aether/Smash Bros!

What makes RotMG unique? RotMG is a game with high stakes and often a great reward if you play long enough. What keeps people coming back besides the addicting bullet-hell gameplay is the community within the game as well as the amazing feeling of getting a white bag.

What would you change?
At the core level, I think the game is in a relatively good state. However, I think it's about time Assassin is reworked. Make the poison cost less, give him more base MP or give them more effects. It feels like a relatively underwhelming class right now even though he is my 2nd favorite class to play. (Also keeping up optimization and server lag issues!)

What made you join the discord Mods?I have always enjoyed moderating in Discord servers (as evidenced by being an HRL/Officer in Shatts) and I always loved RotMG. So I thought I'd give it a shot and help moderate for the official server. It still feels surreal that I was given the opportunity to do so and I am thankful for it. I don't plan to go anywhere any time soon!

How do you see the game in 10 years?I see three possible paths for it. It makes it onto the console market, it becomes a 3D Minecraft-like experience or ELDER REALMS! I'm more inclined to the latter 2 options. :)

Hello Realmers,

Something went terribly wrong at the Mad Lab! Dr. Terrible’s experiments went, once again, sideways and the tech he was trying to import from other dimensions is now available for the taking of the heroes who dare to enter not only the lab but High Tech Terror as well. Even the mighty F.E.R.A.L.got affected by this disturbance in the space and time continuum. And beware of the transformations that might affect you while you explore the most advanced facilities of the Realm...

High Tech Terror and Mad Lab will be dropping 1.5x loot and exp from Thursday, the 22nd July at 12PM UTC, until Monday, the 26th July at 12 PM UTC.

In addition, the following cosmetics will have the chance to drop from the respective bosses:

Robo Brain Pet Skin
Random Mad Scientist Skin
Hoverbot Pet Skin
Blorph the Archer Skin

Healbot Pet Skin
Leech Robot Necromancer Skin
Exploratory Bot Paladin Skin
Tricycle Bot Pet Skin

Hello Realmers,

This update brings some minor changes and bug fixes that you may notice. Here’s what changed:

• Fixed a typo in the Prankster Primate Summoner Skin Sprite Credits.
  
• Fixed the Teleportation Cooldown issue

Hello Realmers,
