Realm of the Mad God Origins

In late 2009 a game development competition called [Assemblee](http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=8751.0) began on the TIGSource forums. The competition was broken into two parts: - [Part 1](http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?board=37.0): Artists and musicians created graphics, sound effects, and music. - [Part 2](http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?board=38.0): Developers used the winning art from Part 1 to create a game. [RotMG came in third place.](http://www.tigsource.com/2010/02/07/assemblee-competition-results/) Many games were made for this competition using these free non-commercial resources. You'll find some of these still out there today. WildShadow purchased commercial licenses for the works they used and continued working on the game long after the competition was over.

Overall, this fight should feel faster, but also push for a group dynamic. Solo may be possible, but only by skilled players. - The Avatar still retains the Quest Tag. - We realize this is contentious, but hopefully with the now simpler mechanics, the fight will run smoother. - The invulnerability periods have been removed from a large portion of the encounter. - When invulnerability is active, Avatar will not attack. - In order to terminate the invulnerability, players must survive or destroy key targets. - There are 4 phases in total. - The Avatar has significantly increased in HP - The Avatar is, at most times, armored. - There is a new Avatar minion added to the fight. - Eyes of the Avatar no longer immediately fire when spawned. - They will still fire predictive shots after 2 seconds. Be sure to dodge. - Eyes of the Avatar are now actually called “Eye of the Avatar”, not “Killer Pillar” - Killer Pillars have new shot patterns. - Blobombs now occur less frequently; overall you will be seeing less over the course of the fight. - The drop rates have been increased for most items in its drop table. ##[Release 19.4 is now LIVE!](http://community.kabam.com/forums/showthread.php?250154-Release-19-4-is-now-LIVE!) {#release-19-4} ###3/6/2014 ####Release 19.4 is now Live!

Hello everyone, We are bringing Realm of the Mad God back up across all servers. We urge you to please read the following info, since there are some extra steps that registered users will have to take before playing the game. Subsequent logins will behave normally. All of these extra steps and precautions are required because of the recent security breach. In addition, we urge you to never use the same passwords in two different places (for example: for Realm of the Mad God and for your email account). Please follow basic "strong password" security practices. These following notes are primarily for users playing from www.realmofthemadgod.com 1. Upon opening the game, click "PLAY" 2. You will be asked to login - In certain instances you will be required to login again, this is the correct behavior, and will only occur on your first login. 3. You will be required to update your password. We have also set new password requirements. They are as follows: 1. Your new password must be between 10 and 20 characters. 2. It must contain at least one number. 3. It cannot contain the same symbol (letter or number) more that twice in a row (no aaa or 222.) 4. It cannot be your previous password. The other portals (Steam, Kabam.com, Kongregate, Google Play) have different login methods and authentication, so you can login normally. NOTE: If your login info isn't saved, you will have to login using the email attached to your account and the associated password. ####Additional Game Changes: - Added US West 3 server - Increased memory capacity on servers to help performance. - Added Bella boss fight - Added New Items for Bella Battle - Added New Skins for Bella Battle - Added new Secret Content for Player Appreciation Event (click here for more details.) - New temp Support ticketing system - Security Login Modal and Password Reset modal. Not too exciting but necessary The bulk of the effort over the last two weeks was spent on a number of fixes that were required, and are not really visible on the surface. We will not be going into detail on any of these changes for obvious reasons. ####Support: If you are having issues with: - Password reset emails - Login problems - Accounts that have been vandalized - Problems on other portals (Steam, Kabam.com, Kongregate, Google Play) Please contact support [here](http://kabam.force.com/PKB/articles/en_US/FAQ/Realm-of-the-Mad-God-FAQ?game=Realm_of_the_Mad_God&Issue=Other_Game_Issues) ##[1/13/14 Hotfix (Release 19.1) is LIVE!](http://community.kabam.com/forums/showthread.php?234790-1-13-14-Hotfix-%28Release-19-1%29-is-LIVE) {#release-19-1} ###1/13/2014 We removed the ability to link accounts between Kongregate / Web and Steam / Web.

The Battle Arena is here! *Please keep in mind that shortly after the initial release of build 14.0.0 we encountered brief issues with our data and had the option to push an older build. Our devs were since able to resolve the issues affecting this new build and no longer needed to push the former. The servers are slowly updating to the resolved release 14.0.0. in pristine condition! We hope you enjoy your time in the Arena! Thank you for your patience. You can discuss any issues encountered with the initial push here: https://forums.wildshadow.com/node/211632* - Locate the Arena Portal in the northwestern section of the Nexus. - Enter the Arena using either Fame or Gold. - Begin each wave after a brief five second countdown. As you progress each wave gets harder. - Earn Effusions, Health/Magic Potions, and even Stat Pots in the Arena. The further you get the better your prizes. - Take on the Bomb Devils... just beware of the pools of lava they leave behind. - Don't spend too much time on one wave, or the Arena will slowly fill up with water, affecting your ability to slay monsters. - Earn a spot on the Arena Leaderboard to see who can get the furthest and in the fastest time. - Compete in future Arena tournaments and earn EPIC prizes. Pets Adjustments - In our efforts to adjust game balance, the Pet Heal ability was slightly altered. Fixes to the chat system. - Introducing new Anti-Spam Measures - Pressing TAB (or /tell hotkey) only works if you don't hit the Guild chat or don't cycle past the user who sent you a message. - TAB (or /tell hotkey) now cycles through all the different people that PM'd you.

Hello Everyone. I want to take a moment to assure everyone that the team is aware of your concerns regarding last night's release, and is considering possible solutions to the issues that occurred. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to discuss them here. We will be providing you all more information as it becomes available. Updated 4:23 PM PST Our Developers are now pushing a hotfix, that will replace any Lair of Draconis Keys with the newly coined Consolation of Draconis keys. Consolation of Draconis Keys will open a portal to a small room where you can find a random Stat Potion. Updated 4:48 PM PST We have become, aware of an issue with the latest build. At the moment all servers are down. Unfortunately we do not have an estimate as to when the servers will be brought back up. On behalf of the Realm of the Mad God team I want to sincerely apologize to all of our players for any inconvenience this may have caused. The team is here and working hard to get our servers back online. Updated 5:56 PM PST We're happy to announce that all Realm of the Mad God servers have been brought back online! Log in, find a Rock Dragon, rage on it, get some good loots and maybe a Stat Potion. Happy hunting folks!
##Release 11: Are you ready to rock? {#release-11} ###2/7/2013 The Realm of the Mad God team is proud to introduce the launch of the new Rock Dragon boss encounter. Just in time for Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake, this new encounter is sure to challenge even the worthiest adventurers. Hibernating for a millennia deep beneath the surface of the Realm, legends tell that the beast would awaken at the dawning of the new age. Those adventurers brave enough to have the rare opportunity of encountering this monstrosity had better have their wits about them. To defeat the beast, adventurers are going to have to ensure its complete obliteration; just going for the throat on this one might prove... futile. [Mike's mundane additions: we'll be pushing a new release to production shortly. Other than the truly awesome Rock Dragon, this consists of infrastructural changes internal to the client and server. Even more good stuff coming soon.]
##[Release 10: Let's try this again](https://web.archive.org/web/20130605145004/https://forums.wildshadow.com/node/180849) {#release-10} ###1/24/2013 Tonight we've taken the unusual step of doing a new release just three days after our previous one. This is unusual for something that's not just a hotfix, but we felt (and I'm sure most of you will agree) that this was needed. **What's new in Release 10:** - Potions have returned to the godlands! They now drop from all the monsters that used to drop them. - Drop rates of potions within dungeons have been increased. In particular we have made defense potions a little easier to get. - Dungeon drop rates in the godlands have been reduced somewhat, but not to their former levels. - Drop rates of loot items in dungeons (especially rare and UT items) have been significantly increased. (Rare pets in dungeons are still really rare.) **Edited to add:** UTs are still very, very rare. They're just not as insanely rare as they were before. And as you know, if they become too easy to get, we'll dial them back down again. - The Nexus Crier is back! Now with new, helpful, and informative things to tell you. - Behind-the-scenes work on Fame and some other things we're working on. **Bug Fixes:** - The "interact key" will no longer send you someplace you didn't want to go. There is an edgecase involving the Cloth Bazaar that we're aware of and are working to fix. - Clicking "Play" no longer defaults chosen character to a Wizard on the Loading screen / Skin selection modal - Tab feature now functions correctly in the registration modal - New characters no longer have a Health Potion occupying an inventory slot - Character names are no longer cut off in the list of nearby players - Ninja class now displays class unlock requirements - Package icon display properly in the realms
##[Release 9: Bazaar Party](https://web.archive.org/web/20130605152728/https://forums.wildshadow.com/node/179609) {#release-9} ###1/21/2013 **New Additions** - Cloth Bazaar added to Nexus - You'll find new doors amidst the shop in the Nexus. These doors will take you to the new Bazaar area where a wider variety of cloth and dye are available at all times! Half of the current dyes and cloth are available at the same time and the other half will be rotated in often. **Game Changes** - Stat potions no longer drop from mobs in Godlands. They will still drop from encounter bosses in the Realm. - **Clarification: Removed potions from the following monsters: Sprite God, Medusa, White Demon, Ent God, Beholder, Flying Brain, Slime God, Ghost God, the Rock Constructs, Djinn, and Leviathan** - Drop rates of dungeons in the Realm have been increased - Drop rates of Stat potions within dungeons increased across the board - Rare pets have been added as drops to the following dungeons - Tomb of the Ancients - Ocean Trench - Mad Lab - Davy Jones' Locker - Haunted Cemetery - Candyland - Sprite World **New Content** - New treasures are now dropping in some of the dungeons. The purpose of these treasures is a mystery for now, but be on the look out and make sure to hold on to any you find! **Known Issues** - We are aware that players are experiencing difficulties playing on Chrome, and the engineers are looking into it. However, it appears to be a somewhat complicated issue and may take some time to fix. And lastly, players will be able to redeem Kabam Gift Cards in the game!
##[Release 8: Happy Holidays!](https://web.archive.org/web/20130605152111/https://forums.wildshadow.com/node/170792) {#release-8} ###12/20/2012 - **Better Package linking** and internal fixes - More flexible **character skin** functionality - **Anti-spam bot** measures - **Connection bug fix** (at least partial; we'll be monitoring it as this may have nailed the whole thing) And last but not least: - **Special skins and pets** that we'll be releasing in packages during the holidays. Each will be purchasable for a *limited time only* (but once you've bought them you'll keep them even after the holidays are over). Edited to add: Since many have asked, no the new Fame redesign is not included in this release. We'll have that out as soon as we can, but it's not quite ready to go yet.
##[Release 7: Now with Ninjas!](https://web.archive.org/web/20130516015850/https://forums.wildshadow.com/node/168476) {#release-7} ###12/11/2012 - **Ninjas** are now available to players on any platform - New package containing: **unlock the Ninja class (if you don't already have it), new Ninja skin, new dragonfly pet,** and a bonus item: **wine cellar incantation** - **Character skins** can now be worn by existing characters, (not just new ones)! You can change your character's look by using the armoire in your vault (this will not take your character to Narnia, unfortunately). - **Winter Nexus** is here! (All "Winter is coming" jokes are now obsolete.) - New **dreidel pet!** - **Ghostly Prism** has been redesigned: more powerful, better tactical uses, less mp - The **Mad Lab** has been overhauled. This includes better drop rate of the dungeon, reduced boss turret's health, Dr Terrible is no longer healed by his minions, and fewer minions can congregate in a room together. - We have updated our payments system, so we're now integrated with Kabam payments Other improvements and bug fixes: - Teleporting has changed: now you can teleport only to characters, not objects. This should change the behavior of certain teleporting bots in the Nexus, for example. - Removed internal error when two players attempt to loot the same item at the same time (note: this will not remove all instances of "phantom item" problems, but should resolve many of them) - Steam accounts linked to Kongregate can now get the Ninja - We added protective measures against un-pausing when monsters wander on the screen - Oryx 2 can now shoot through barrels (he's been practicing). - Fixed some problems with Loot Tier Drop potions - Fixed problems with players not being directed back to the game after a purchase - Players now see a warning modal if they attempt to chat while muted - Enemies in stasis can no longer be healed by other enemies - Fixed a problem with Tomb of the Ancients switch - "Potion Purchased" text no longer appears over character - The "Accept" button on the Trade UI is _**no longer one pixel too high!**_ - Miscellaneous other bugs (infrastructure, annoyance, overall experience)

##Build 119 update {#build-119-update} ###10/20/2011 Thanks for all the feedback on Build 119. We are listening. We did expect this to be a pretty controversial update. I have also pushed an update (119.0.5) that makes the following changes: - Potion drop rates in mountains increased by ~33% - Cube God and Skull Shrine both give a guaranteed potion (like dungeon bosses) - Pentaract potion drop rate increased - Minor changes to make Oryx slightly harder On the subject of Wine Cellar change, we should have been clearer with our intentions here. We would definitely like to support "private runs" of dungeons and even Realms in the future but Incantations where never supposed to be that. They were basically an idea that worked in nearly the opposite way that we intended. This change was to get them back more in line with our original intentions. I also realize that the changes in this build were targeted at improving the experience of newer players. I promise that the next build will have new end-game content.
