Royal Quest Online News

Dear players!

October 31 is the time of the big Royal Quest update on the BASE platform:
🔮 the sorceress Catalina and her Tranzamples will appear in the game,
🔮 the characteristics of many items with EXP and gold bonuses will be changed,
🔮 the functionality of exchanging Reals for Gold will be temporarily disabled,
🔮 the composition of the in-game store will be changed,
🔮 the amount of Gold dropped from Crystal, Gold and Iron chests will be reduced,
🔮 the “Harvest Festival” event will be launched,
🔮 some interfaces and item descriptions will be changed,
🔮 optimization works will be performed.

A new server for the European region - Ignis - will also be launched.

Together with this update we planned to open access to the game on Steam.

However, the Steam platform has informed us that it continues to process the data sent. If the review procedure is successfully completed on October 30, the release on Steam will also take place on October 31 (along with the opening of servers in America and Asia, as well as full access to gifts for activity on Steam and to the sale of game items on the Marketplace).

If Steam approval is not received by that date, the release on Steam will take place at a later date. We will be ready to announce it as soon as possible after the game review process is successfully completed.

We are making every effort to make this procedure faster.

Dear friends!

Unfortunately, we are still waiting for an answer from Steam platform specialists, and therefore we have to change the release date of Royal Quest on this platform. When the date will be determined, we will publish information about it.

As we wrote last Saturday, the Steam team came up with additional questions when reviewing our game. We have sent all the necessary information and are awaiting permission to release.

We deeply apologize! We are doing everything in our power to speed up the process.

Dear Friends!
The upcoming game release on the scheduled release date has been jeopardized.
Today we received a request from the service of Steam, which checks games before release. Their request concerned the possibility of making in-game payments in Royal Quest (one of the necessary requirements for the release). This feature is available in the game and has already been checked by Steam employees, but for some reason additional data was required. And according to Steam rules, until the Steam platform receives all the requested information, the release on the platform is blocked.

It would appear that this is not a big deal. We have the data confirming the ability to accept and process payments in the game via Steam; we have already sent it in response to the request we received today. But the Steam team will be able to review this data on Monday at the earliest - within the framework of the working schedule, which implies working only on weekdays.

The situation is aggravated by the time zone difference. We received the request today - when it was already Saturday, it was Friday evening in the Steam team office. If we get a positive answer on Monday (Steam team's local time), we will have Monday-Tuesday night.

In the morning we had a team discussion of all possible scenarios of the situation. The conclusions are as follows:
1. The most optimistic option. On Monday morning our data is reviewed by the Steam team; they make sure that all the data is correct; the release on October 22 is allowed again. Our plans do not change: in the late evening of 21.10.24 we inform you that the release will take place on time; we hold the release on 22.10.24.
2. Less optimistic option. On Monday afternoon our data starts to be studied by Steam team, they ask clarifying questions; gradually they make sure that all data is correct; they allow the release, but we have no time to hold it on October 22. In this case, we set the nearest date and inform you about it; the release is moved to 23.10.24 or 24.10.24.
3. Pessimistic option. Our request is being studied by Steam team not since Monday. The official position of Steam platform: the answer can be given within 3-5 working days. In this case, we inform you about the situation and together we wait for the request to be approved. Once the request is approved, we set a release date for the nearest weekday and inform you about it.

Now from the raw facts to the personal: we are very unhappy with the situation that has arisen, for which there was no obvious precondition, but even more upset for you. We are well aware of the expectations and engagement many people have for Royal Quest. We know that some players have been taking time off for the release on Steam and have been putting together and reorganizing guilds. So, we will be working hard to keep the release on track or push it back as little as possible.

We have already changed the release date from October 1 to October 22, realizing that the game still has a lot to prepare for the launch on Steam. But (!) more than two weeks ago the game was sent to the Steam platform team for pre-release testing, and we responded to all their requests in a timely manner, time after time confirming that all the platform requirements were met. It will be the same now, only time and human factor are against us.

Dear friends!

Our game has been added to 25.000 Wishlists, you made it, yay!
And, as promised, we're giving all players an exclusive “Priest of Technology” costume.

To get it, you'll need to log into Royal Quest via Steam at least once within a week after release.



Thank you for your engagement! Looking forward to release day together! =)

Friends!

We cannot get tired of thanking you for your interest in Royal Quest and participation in the “Call of Heroes” event!
The game has been added to 23.000 Wishlists and on this occasion we are opening a new line of our event. The next prize will be... new costume - “Priest of Technology”!

As we said before, it goes well with the “High Voltage” aura. And we're really excited for you to get it.

Meanwhile, it's only two weeks away from release.... What to do?

It seems to us that there can't be two options: we will lower the target to reach the next line!
If we get 2 thousand more Wishlists in two weeks, all players will be able to get the costume after the release!

ːsteamthisː By the way, to get all our gifts, you need to log in to the game via Steam within a week after release, please don't miss this moment! ːsteamthisː
