Realmers!

You have tested them in the past weeks and now it's time to enjoy them on our live servers. Seasonal Characters arrive in Realm of the Mad God! Keep in mind that Missions are not quite ready yet but will come in the very near future. Additionally, we have prepared an Event for you to chase to unlock some perks. But you have to play a seasonal character to take part in them!

Seasonal Characters

Seasonal Characters are characters which apply special rules for the duration of a season. Rules will be described before each new season.
Seasons have a defined start and end date that also will regulate Battlepass as part of our Seasonality feature.

Players will be able to create a regular character or use a seasonal one.
After the season is over, the character is automatically converted to a regular one.


Seasonal Characters get a permanent +10% BXP bonus during the whole season. This means that, while you cannot equip gear obtained in the past, your progress is accelerated when playing them. This feature is however under development and will come at a later point.

Also, one of the most interesting aspects of Seasonal Characters is their exclusive access to Missions, another upcoming feature that will allow your Seasonal Characters to do certain tasks and obtain unique rewards and BXP, only available for the season. Regular characters cannot participate in missions though!

To find out everything about this update, have a look at our blog.

Realmers!

Another week, another public testing session! You will once again be able to create Seasonal Characters but additionally, you can now have a look at our new Mission Feature and how it all works together. We adjusted some things for our new upcoming dungeon, Steamworks, and give you a first glance at the Emote System.

You are wondering what Seasonal Characters are? No worries we got you covered with our previous news regarding them. Check them out here.
Questions about Steamworks and interested in how it looks? More things to read here.

Have a look at our current blog post to find out all about Missions and the upcoming Oryxmas things!

Realmers!

While we are approaching Oryxmas in a little bit over a month (don't quote me on that), we have a new update coming your way. Last weekend you were able to test our new feature, “Seasonal Characters” and while they are not ready yet to be released, we hope that you enjoyed the feature so far. We are still open for any feedback you can think of.

It is also time for the Assassin and Necromancer ST Tokens to start dropping from dungeons today and we have some events in those dungeons!
Go check out the update down below.


Thanksgiving is just around the corner at the end of the month and in preparation, it's once again a great time to celebrate with some 1.5x dungeon loot and XP.

Starting on the 8th of August, until the 15th of August, you will receive 1.5x Loot and XP from the Fungal and Crystal Cavern, the Puppet Master’s Encore, the Cnidarian Reef, Lost Halls, Cultist Hideout and the Void.

Starting on the 17th of August and lasting until the 21st of August a double realm whites event will be active.

All events will as always start and end at 12 AM UTC on their respective days.


The newest Assassin and Necromancer ST Tokens for crafting their respective ST Sets will now drop from:

• Alchemist Assassin Set Token will drop from the Cnidarian Reef at a 2% chance.
  
• Shaman Necromancer Set Token will drop from Puppet Master's Encore at a 2% chance.
  
• Alchemist Assassin Set Token will drop at a 5% chance, and Shaman Necromancer Set Token at a 3.75% chance in the Fungal Cavern.
  
• Shaman Necromancer Set Token will drop at a 5% chance, and Alchemist Assassin Set Token at a 3.75% chance in the Cultist Hideout.

• Fixed a problem in Sulfurous Wetlands where the portal wasn’t flashing before expiring.
  
• The Halloween Nexus and Gods Reskins left the Realm.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Shatters Rehearsal Crown not dropping from the Kings Rehersal Fight.
  
• Fixed an issue of the new Wetlands UTs showing up in the Forge when selecting STs.

Realmers!

This weekend we have something a little bit different coming up on our testing servers. As some of you might remember from our Producer Letter earlier this year, we are still working on our Seasonality feature.

This weekend you will be able to test Seasonal Characters. In order to fully test this feature we will have two different seasons active. The first starts today on Friday and lasts until Saturday noon. Once the first season is over, season 2 will start five minutes later and last until Monday 6 AM UTC. In order to make testing easier, we reduced the amount of BXP needed for the Battlepass on our Testing Server.

Per design, you won't be able to purchase the exalted pass in the last 24 hours of the season.


Seasonal Characters are a new way to play RotMG. When you create a new character, you can choose to make them ‘Seasonal'.

To find out more about Seasonal Characters, check out our Blog post.

Spooky spooky Realmers!

The end of the month is approaching and this means we are ready to celebrate Halloween! Additionally, you might now be able to access our newest dungeon in Realm of the Mad God. The Sulfurous Wetlands created by MOONSHOOT! Make sure to enter the dungeon with the right attire and don't get yourself wet.


Our Nexus once again received a Reskin that fits more to the theme of Halloween. Additionally, some of our gods got hit by loose spells and transformed into their alter egos.

• Cube God
  
• Cube Overseer
  
• Cube Defender
  
• Cube Blaster
  
• Grand Sphinx
  
• Hermit God
  
• Hermit Minion
  
• Hermit God Tentacle
  
• Water Mine
  
• Beach Spectre
  
• Vengeful Spirit
  
• Ghost Ship

As a branch fell into the water, a faint sizzle played. Sinking deeper and deeper into the murky depths, the branch remained intact, almost as if it yearned to ingrain itself at the bottom of the acidic bog. After a short wait, it hit the mire's floor, becoming one of the many interconnected pieces of the warped puzzle. The sphere of influence grew for the now dormant heart. Solitude across the generations has led to only involuntary expansion. The failure of a curse, the madness spawned from the desire for power, both culminated to this endpoint.

Suddenly, a new energy emerged seemingly out of nowhere. The roots of the once beloved willow tree rustled beneath the muddied earth, almost as if it was reaching out to reclaim the days of old.
Welcome to the Sulfurous Wetlands.

The Wetlands will be dropping from a new godlands mob: The Grand Dragonfly, with its availability being akin to mobs such as the Sting Spider, Corsair Crab, and Great Owl. It shares a similar difficulty level as the counterparts above and aims to give the area another challenging yet rewarding experience.

Special thanks are going out to everyone involved in creating this dungeon!

Leads: MOONSHOOT
Design and Art: TLMaelstrom
Special Thanks: Aurum, Kiddforce, Lily, MaggieMagi, Mizumi, Sues, Toastrz



Let's have a first look at the items you are going to find inside the Wetlands.



We are looking forward to your feedback about the Wetlands!

• Added new Player Titles
  
• The Swamp, acquired when you complete 5 Sulfurous Wetlands.
  
• Monster, acquired when you complete 50 Sulfurous Wetlands.

Let's start the Halloween season off with some Realm Events. From the 25th of October, until the 8th of November the Totalia is guaranteed in the realm 3 times. You will receive 1 Black Petunia and Raven Feather per kill.
Additionally, the Zombie Horde is guaranteed in the realm and appears after the Cyclops Gods are killed.

A bunch of Chest Events will come over the next 2 weeks. The loot will be posted every time an event starts on the official Realm Discord and on our social media channels. Additionally, every final boss of a dungeon event will drop 1 Token.

Realmers!

Time is running and we are getting closer to the end of the year. Recently Month of the Mad God ended and also our Back to School Event found its end. Now its time to jump into the Shatters Rehearsal Event! Fight our three Shatters Bosses separately, learn their mechanics and receive some of the new loot! You can find out everything you need to know about the Shatters Rehearsal, new ST Sets, Battlepass Season 2 and so much more down below.


We know some of our players might want to learn Shatters, but find learning not one but three bosses a bit overwhelming. Thinking of them, we have decided to create the Rehearsal Dungeon Mods for Shatters.
Rehearsal mods cannot be accessed normally nor through key refining. For the moment you will be able to access these mods during special event periods like the one described below.


They allow you to enter a portion of Shatters where you will fight one of the three bosses. The rest of the dungeon is not accessible in a Rehearsal version.

This bossfight is a modified version, its difficulty scaling is reduced from the regular Shatters and has the following modifiers across all enemies in the shatters.

1. 20% reduce damage
   
2. 15% less health
   
3. The loot of the bossfight is altered from the regular Shatters.

The regular loot from the Shatters will not drop from a Rehearsal Version. Instead, the Rehearsal Shatters have a chance of dropping Rehearsal version of the items. These items have similar mechanics, and albeit powerful on their own, they aren’t as powerful as their “true” counterparts from the regular Shatters.


For a list of all our changes and fixes have a look at our blog!

Realmers!

The Art Contest ended on the 7th of September. We already want to thank everyone who took part in the contest. The Team will now evaluate all the submissions and judge them together. This is going to take a little time and we will update you on the winners in the very near future.

If you are interested or missed the Art Contest, you can read all about it on our blogpost.


Last Tuesday our Community Event ended and you guys smashed it! It is now time to announce the Top 10,000 players* who should have already received their rewards. If you have placed under rank 10 000 on the official leaderboard but you think you are missing rewards, please reach out to our Customer Support Team. Let's have a look at the rewards.

*Since several people managed to get the same amount of points, we actually have 10,177 Winners!

Realmers!

It is time to ring the bells for the end of the Month of the Mad God! We all enjoyed weeks full of events and fighting the Syndicate. We have received a lot of feedback regarding the Interregnum event and the Mercenaries fights. More on how we will proceed with this event in the future down below. Also, don't forget to turn in your Marks and Black Coins! We are extending the time you can turn them in, but after that they will not have any use.


Mercenaries have been removed from the Realm, they can still appear in dungeons as a dungeon mod. You can use your Interregnum Keys that you still have left anywhere, new keys do not drop for now. Here is a detailed overview of the changes:

• Mercenaries do not spawn in the realm anymore.
  
• Mercenaries can still spawn in dungeons but now they have a dungeon mod which will be randomly selected from the regular pool of dungeon mods available. All of them are Grade A mods and they can appear in:
  
• “Pirate Queen Ramm” can appear in Forbidden Jungle, The Hive, Ancient Ruins, Sprite World, and Snake Pit.
  
• “Izel the Grand Shaman” can appear in Puppet Master’s Theatre, Undead Lair, Mad Lab, Abyss of Demons, Haunted Cemetery.
  
• “Nefret the Pharaoh” can appear in Parasite Chambers, Woodland Labyrinth, Deadwater Docks, Mountain Temple, The Third Dimension.
  
• “Black Blade Ozuchi” can appear in Fungal Cavern, Crystal Cavern, The Nest, Cultist Hideout, The Void, Lost Halls, The Shatters.
  
• The Shady Vagrant does not appear anymore in the Quest Room nor in the realm.
  
• Black Coins won’t drop anymore.
  
• Interregnum Keys can be used without the Shady Vagrant being near.
  
• New Interregnum Keys, for now, are not available. We plan to give access to Interregnum again in the future as part of special temporary events.

If you have a Hidden Interregnum Key or stacks of Black Coins, we suggest you trade them for rewards at the Tinkerer as you won’t be able to use it.

The Shady Vagrant has left the nexus and the realm, satisfied by your work. We suggest you use this time to exchange your unused Black Coins and Interregnum Marks as you won’t be able to use them anymore for the foreseeable future. While it’s possible we bring the event back at some point, we probably won’t use the same mechanic.

For that, we are extending the time of the quests by 1 week.

We suggest not keeping these items as they won’t be usable in the foreseeable future.

As for the Top 10 000 Infiltrators, there was definitely some steep competition for top placements. Before sending out the rewards, we would need a few days to verify the final results, make sure everything is correct.

• Some sheaths and lutes were incorrectly tagged which interfered with the loot system in some cases, altering their drop chances in some particular enemies. This has been fixed.
  
• The Lightshow Scepter was missing a label, which meant it could not be used to forge an ST Ability in the forge. This has been fixed.
  
• Changed Ice Cave’s Inner Cave map to avoid the very infrequent bug where a player could become stuck in the wall.
  
• Visual fixes on several icons, particularly some lore books.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Dye Mask on the Tidal Wave Kensei Skin.
  
• Resolved an Issue with an Error Message appearing when claiming all milestones in the Battlepass.
  
• The limit for player names was increased from 10 to 15.
  
• Modded Keys now display the percentage of value of chance to generate a particular mod.

• The Burial Blades tooltip now only shows the info about 2 Bullets not 3.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Frost Ronin Samurai Skin Sprites.

• When using a booster the Icon showing the time left on the booster will not appear.
