Development Timeline 2014

Hotfix is now live

Hotfix (Release 19.1) is LIVE!

Official Community Update

February 10

Dear Realm,

As you have read by now, our servers detected a security breach on or about 2/6/14.

Please read this post for critical information on what was compromised, changing your password and other important items: Click here.

We’d like to share some additional information with you specifically about the game:

1) We do not yet have an ETA to bring the game back up. As soon as this status changes, we will update everyone.
2) We will be presenting a Player Appreciation program, the details of which will be introduced as soon as the game is back up. This is simply a thank you to the players and the community for all of your support and patience over the last several days.

Thank you all again, we’re looking forward to bringing Realm back to the players.

~ RotMG Team


Security Updates and Changes (Release 19.2)

February 20

Updated Security!

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


Update: Bellas Garden Patch Notes!

February 25

Hello Realm!

I hope you all have been enjoying the Player Appreciation event so far! There are a few changes to one of the dungeons, Bella’s Garden, which you’ll see with the upcoming patch. Specifically:

  • Damage has been slightly lowered for all of her damaging projectiles
  • Damage has been changed from a flat rate (same damage per shot) to a damage range
  • The projectile range on Flowers has been reduced
  • A short (3 sec) invulnerable period has been added to the Loot Chest
  • The Loot Chest health has been increased
  • Bug Fix: Bella now makes a sound when hit, and when killed
  • Bug Fix: Wand of Budding Romance description now displays
  • Bug Fix: Emaculate changed to the correct version of Immaculate
  • Bug Fix: Feed Power removed from Key

The changes above reflect a rebalancing effort on our end, that we hope will make the dungeon more enjoyable moving forward.

The keys will continue to be available for Bella’s Garden until March 2nd, at which point they will be removed from the shop. The keys will still be functional after they are removed, they will just no longer be purchasable.

We hope that you continue to enjoy the Player Appreciation event as well as Bella’s Garden. Happy hunting, and may the loot Gods give you luck!

A note from the Realm design team about changes to the Avatar of the Forgotten King:

This event has seen a re-work after some of the valuable feedback from the community. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Loot Bag Refactor:

A lot of buzz has been built around the current way in which loot is dropped and distributed within bags. We agree that effort was necessary to clean up bag types, bringing an easier system to understand (progression) and alternative bags for items (additions). The new system, explained below, also has a series of new additions that design will be committed to.

First, as we add new tiers to the game this will invariably push the older tiers down into more accessible bags. Second, it has been made apparent that key UTs are not considered ‘white bag’ material – with that in mind specific UTs will be found in Cyan bags. These UTs are considered under investigation and may be refactored at a later date to make them more desirable. Finally, bag progression in terms of consolidation goes Brown Bag < Pink Bag < Purple Bag < Egg Basket < Cyan Bags < Blue Bags < White Bags. example: If you received a Tier 10 Armor, Egg, and Tier 3 Skill, everything would appear in a cyan bag.

A final note: Items and the bags they are in should not be considered final. We had a need as both a community and as designers to create more structure. Hot Fixes, Patches, and the like could see things move as necessary. What is needed is structure, and that needs a starting point.

  • Brown Bags - Miscellaneous healing items, dungeon items, drakes, etc.
    • Public bags, in which anyone can loot from.
    • Example list of miscellaneous items found in this bag type:
    • HP / MP Potions

May 22

  • Guest accounts are turned OFF. This change was made to help curb a possible exploit - Guest accounts will not be allowed to login to the game. Guest accounts can be registered via the normal in game steps.
  • We know that some people prefer the anonymity of a Guest account (no chat, no trade spam etc), but unfortunately that system was too open to exploits and griefing.
  • As a registered player there are still options for you to turn off in game chat, turn off trades, turn off chat bubbles, and other ways to customize your experience.
  • Email verification now requires a successful CAPTCHA test to be completed in order to play the game. Currently you’ll only have to do this once to register your account. If you have previously registered you will NOT have to go through any additional verification.

NOTE: We will continue to update and refine the login and registration process for the foreseeable future.

The Court of Oryx has (finally!) been added to the game. Janus, the doorwarden, must be killed in order to enter the waiting room. The dungeons are meant for 10 people and are capped.

From there, a random Court Member will be selected and you will be able to fight them for sweet, sweet loot.
