Anniversary and more!

Hi Community,

This Saturday comes the 7th anniversary of Regnum. This time we will celebrate it a different way: with something it needs. What we all know is that there were a lot of changes and ways of acting that deeply affected the game. That's why we believe that what the game needs right now is a new direction, a new path, like the one we proposed some weeks ago and even if it has already started, it will be visible from the next days on.

We already started with the Helpers, and among them we will find the new GMs. We'll carefully move forward with this, given that GMs will be a key factor in the development of in-game events.

To enjoy this weekend, we will make a competition for the ones that are warring the most. And even if the ones that finish in the first places get important prizes, there will be prizes for ALL of the participants. No one will be empty handed

And if you're a new player or this will be a peaceful weekend between you and your enemies, there will be another competition for those that kill the most amount of creatures of the same level or more. Prizes for the first ones and prizes for everyone as well.

The details about prizes and rules will be given tomorrow at 5:00 PM GMT when the event will be launched.

Also, during the weekend there will be several surprises! Please, don't ask me or else they won't be surprises at all

Right now, Amun has a new version with changes to Invasions. Relic Blocks have been removed completely and there are new conditions to obtain gems and relics. We didn't make a lot of changes in order to have a simple update and upload it as soon as possible to eliminate those blocks. Amun will be soon accessed by Helpers and we will be giving access to other users to the extent that conditions apply. New versions will always be tested by the users before going live, this will be our focus.

That's why the new path we're presenting will be about curing the most important bases of the game which are the attention given to the Community and enhance the development pipeline. In the meantime there won't be any huge changes or overwhelming events, but what Regnum needs the most: taking care of the details that, as small that they seem, they are more important than they appear to be.

AH! We didn't forget. There is a Ximerin promotion too. Since now and until next Monday at midnight GMT, there will be a 35% bonus for every purchase.

See you tomorrow!

Hi,
Thanks for the info, and great news

May I ask, what exactly the changes to invasions are? In particular the "new conditions to obtain gems and relics". Or are they self-explanatory once we get on the server?

Anyway, thanks again for the good news (especially the relic lock withdrawal), and I hope you continue with the "new path". So far it looks quite promising.

Regards

First all, nice work so far. I hope this continues

Just to clarify, you're saying that the majority of the testing will be done by "helpers" as opposed to the main playerbase? How would "other users" gain access to contribute?

azn-rices · 05-22-2014, 11:47 PM

so what are the suprises?

Overall, really glad to see this, at the very least, we got rid of the ruddy relic block O.o

Good work on the events thing, it is definitely an enormous "morale booster" for the players to have events once in a while.

I have a question though, can you please elaborate on what are the "new conditions to obtain gems and relics" ?

pieceofmeat · 05-23-2014, 08:20 AM

Yeah remember the alienware contest, with similar 24/7 play to win rules.

I may be jumping the gun a bit here but that sounds like another BAD IDEA!

Its not healthy for the once that aim to win and its not very fun for 90% of the community that realize very quickly that they cant without sacrificing outdoor activities, family and friends for a whole weekend.

The good part is that there likely will be non-stop action for everyone.

Anyway I hope it will be better than it sounds and a fun weekend for both players and the new "helpers".

Btw these helpers should have one color for official business and the plain regular chat color for goofing around in realm chat.
Maybe they do, but why should name be highlighted anyway if they are just socializing or sending some nonsense chats?

I know it all fun and new, but having GCs dance at central save of a realm is disturbing, they will attract hangarounds etc and it also looks very unprofessional with game officials doing that.
I hope it was an isolated event and that it wont happen on a regular basis like with Game Samba.

These helpers, GCs and GMs are "intruders" of general gameplay they should always try to keep a low profile.

Agree with you. I consider GC's very welcome to the game, to make some order in realm chat, as well as to help anyone who needs a help. But please, just a little less chitchat. CoR's primary function is not socializing online chat but game as such. Not complaining, just telling my opinion.
