A Fame Train is an organized group of players that will run around the border of the godlands, killing gods along the way, in order to get Fame efficiently and quickly.
At the moment, there are little to no fame trains running. Many players have switched to running the Lost Halls dungeon instead, or doing other dungeons such as the Parasite Chambers or The Shatters under 1.5x XP events.
While there used to be “public” fame trains, or servers where fame trains tended to occur on, these are now a thing of the past, and haven’t been organized in a while.
Fame Trains are usually unliked by the community. The fact that a lot of people on leaderboards abuse this in order to get to the top rankings makes it even worse. Using fame trains are significantly safer and faster compared to doing endgame dungeons or other contents for fame. It’s also hated since it’s suspected that some of the top players use “Fame botting” (A process where a Bot/Program automatically runs the fame-farming progress in Fame Trains) in order to get into top leaderboards with little to no effort.
If you happen to stumble across a fame train in the Realm (or you’ve joined a server that is organizing a fame train), there are some common courtesies one can follow to help the train’s effectiveness and to avoid inconveniencing both other players and yourself.
Until early 2013, most players used the roads of the realms in an effort to level up faster. These “EXP Road Trains” eventually gave way to fame trains in the godlands, and are now not really seen today.
Until 2018-05-30 Hotfix X.26.1.0, where pasuing in Realm got disabled, Fame Trains had “Pausers”(Players that Pauses in the Realm for Fame Trains) around the Godlands. These were used to prevent Gods from spawning in the center of the Godlands in order to increase the spawnrate on the outer sides, where the Train would run into. These were incredibly effective, but it was found that most, if not all fame trains, used Bots/Alts that aren’t a real person as a “Pauser”. This was clearly against the ToS of the game, and DECA decided to disable pausing in Realm ever since.
It is also worth mentioning players created “Ghost Realms” using unofficial, third party client in order to have a consistant source of fame train. These Ghost Realms were completely unaccessable by any means to normal players, and only the people using the unofficial clients would be able to access it. DECA Games took an action and made sure they banned all these exploiters as quickly as possible.
Below are some helpful resources if you want to learn more about fame training in general. Note that some of these resources may have become outdated over time.
