The RoM Team

The anniversary of Julia Habin is coming soon, and as every year the villages are organizing musical activities to celebrate and sing the songs that Julia sang to pacify the lonely children left behind by the war in Kolydia.

It’s again that time when streets are filled with music and everyone returns to their villages to witness this wonderful show.

As usual, many activities are planned for celebrating, in particular around Silverspring and Thunderhoof Hills. The managers can be found in Varanas and Dalanis, and they will wait for you with 9 special activities. By participating you should keep the musical scores and musical notes you get, as you can later trade them for Julia’s Package.

During this period, all experience gained from quests and combat will be increased by 100% while talent points gained from combat will be increased by 250%.

Greetings everyone,

As you know, yesterday with the maintenance we have closed the normal and hard modes of the instance New Pantheon.
To avoid the further confusion and to clarify more clearly why such decision was made, we would like to share our thoughts on the topic.

Firstly, we would like to remind, that the instance’s modes were designed to be balanced around different peak levels, some according to levels which are not yet available in the game, therefore they weren’t yet to be doable with the normal means.

We acknowledge, that the Warden’s pet behaviors were like this since long time and until now it was not causing any unintended interactions with the game content. This changed with the release of peak levels and the nature of scaling the content progression around different peak level caps.

Therefore, with the new structure of the content and leveling progression, we need to re-valuate that behavior and decided for this reason to close normal and hard modes of the instance, while we evaluate the way pets work together with Runewaker. Our current plan is to reopen these modes once the pet changes are implemented.

We also acknowledge, that peak level progression needs re-evaluation and adjustments and since the release in December, we have actively discussed the matter with the developer, sending them our as well as your proposals. We have a few ideas, but unfortunately none in the end felt like a good solution and so we continue to discuss potential adjustments.

Currently we are discussing the reduction of required items to unlock peak levels as well as making peak experience orbs available, amongst other things we can't share details on yet. Please note, that for now we do not have any final decision on these.

On a closing note, we would like to stress out, that since the Warden’s pet behaviors were working this way since long time, and their behavior in the instance was an unexpected interaction with the new system, there are no intentions of taking further steps against players making use of this mechanic.

We apologise for the initial confusion regarding the matter and would like to thank you for the patience and understanding while we are working on solutions together with the Runewaker.

The RoM Team.
