Realm of the Mad God Exalt News

Realmers,

Yey! This is not a classic testing weekend. Apart from the Speedrun, we are testing two things that will have a big impact on your game: a fix for the Kensei and a Captcha system designed to keep the pesky bots away. Shoo!

Please note that you’ll need to download the Testing Launcher so that you can join this session. Also, as usual, your regular production account won't work here. If you don’t have one already, you’ll need to create a Testing one. And don’t forget to remove it when you are finished testing or speedrunning. Doing so will avoid issues with the actual production launcher when we update the game.

Now for the speedrun competition: we already mentioned in this blog post but it’s never too much to remind you that the competition will take place on the Testing servers over two weekends: from Friday, the 11th at 17:00 UTC, until Monday, the 14th, at 08:00 UTC, and from Friday, the 18th, 17:00 UTC until Monday the 21st, 08:00 UTC. You can submit your entries until Wednesday the 23rd, 12:00 UTC.

Hello Realmers,

This update brings you the (almost complete) new shop experience. While we will still add new features to it, this is pretty much the new UI we wanted to present you with. Please let us know in the comments what are your thoughts on it.
You may be pleased to know that the bugs that affected the Kensei should be fixed. You can swoosh and slash at ease again. Also the new STs for the Bard, Summoner, and Kensei have started dropping. Check out the locations down below.

Here are the changes you can expect with this update:

Story of Love Campaign

This Valentine’s Day, we dream of the untold story of the King and Queen of the Shattered Kingdom. Their unfortunate fates are known today, but is anything recorded of their courtly life at the height of the Kingdom before Oryx the gladiator made his grab for power? The historians who unearthed the scrolls that told the tale of the Kingdom’s descent claim to have reason to speculate that life in the Court of the doomed Kingdom was a happy one and that the love the King and Queen had for each other may linger still… somewhere, in what remains untainted of their psyches. And, around this Festival of Love, the more romantic of these historians, mainly Knights and Paladins by trade, compose wistful poems and songs of what could’ve been. And of what remains. The Story of Love Campaign is an early experiment towards an actual Battlepass, where the real thing will of course be longer, more varied, and have free and purchased progression. Read more about it in our blog post.


Shop and Wardrobe Improvements

We continued our improvements in the UI/UX of RotMG and we are moving all purchasable items, either with Gold or with Fame, to the Shop menu, so they are easy to access and all in one place. For now, we will keep the items exposed in the Nexus and Bazaar but this might change in the future. The tabs should be very self explanatory and you can easily distinguish Mystery Boxes from Packages via the chest icon on the top-right.


To find out more about the full changes, have a look at our blog.
