Production Build #11.0.0

Release 11: Are you ready to rock?

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.]

Build still coming

Yeah, not so much "30 minutes." That was based on our estimates from the deployment process (not just "compiling code," fwiw).

We've hit some machine issues. We're on it.

Sorry for the delay -- but it beats being in a dungeon right when the game goes down.

Mike

P.S. Just the encounter and some internal reporting changes in this build. No dungeon, no changes to Fame. No undead apocalypse (oh wait - were we saving that for later?).

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. Thank you all for your patience.

Update: Duping Hotfix - Live

Hello everyone,

In the effort to fix the recent duping exploit, the team has decided to temporarily Soulbind all items. Items will remain Soulbound until we are able to complete a long-term fix.

Additionally, in this hotfix, the Tier 14 items that were leaked when the Lair of Draconis Dungeon was prematurely released will be rendered useless. As these items were not intended for release, they pose a threat to the overall balance of the game.

We understand that these measures will temporarily impact the in-game player economy, but it must be done if we want to help minimize the long-term effects of the duping exploit.

We truly appreciate your patience while we finalize the solution to duping, as well as the new Pets feature! Thanks for playing!

Bug Fixes:
Everything will be soulbound temporarily
The accidentally released Lair of Draconis items have been swapped for different items. Draconis armor is now:

• Cheater Light Armor
• Cheater Robe
• Cheater Heavy Armor

A couple of panels have been cleaned up.
A conditional has been added to ensure the package button not appear in inappropriate locations.

Hey Folks,

We're getting a lot questions regarding when items will be un-soulbound and available for trading. While we can confirm that this change is only temporary, we don't currently have a date set to unbind items.

Ideally, items will be unbound when the team has worked out a permanent solution to duping. Please know that fixing the duping exploit is a top priority for us, and we are working to make items trade-able again as quickly as possible.

Thank you everyone for your patience, while we continue working to fix duping once and for all.
