Patch 2.0.7 - Music Festival



Current RoM news 29 May 2009 Adventurers, heroes and guilds with great experience in the halls of the "Ruins of the Ice Dwarf Kindom" have been preparing recently for a new expedition. It is being told that the information adventurers returned could be used to get even deeper into the stony halls of the dwarven people. The old secrets should soon belong to the past, opening a way to new glory under the light of the next revelation...

...with the "Return to the Ice Dwarf Kingdom"!

High level characters will be able to revisit the heroic part of the Ice Dwarf Kingodm in the for next week scheduled upcoming big Patch 1.7 "Return to the Ice Dwarf Kingdom".

With the 2nd Phase waiting in front of the huge gates of guild castles, guilds may begin to spent their harvested ressources to build special buildings in their courtyard. Together they will be able to create schools, gardens, stables or even powerful runetowers which will grant certain bonuses to all members e.g. a speed buff for mounts.

The complete patch notes will follow soon which also include permanent pets and new level 40 & 45 elite skills.

Version 2.0.7.1838 and 2.0.7.1839 on 27 May 2009 During the maintenance on Wednesday May 27th 2009, they made the already announced "Change to Auction House Trading". Up until now it was possible to put items up for sale against diamonds in the Auction House. They deactivated this feature for a yet undetermined period of time for testing purposes. You will still be able to trade Diamonds for in-game gold and vice versa.

Frogster knows already about the looting interface problem and is investigating/trying to find a solution.

-Territory select option on client is now working correctly. This will allow players to change their RuneDev server IP address with out needing to manually do so.

Current RoM news 21 May 2009

Change to Auction House Trading! We are planning to introduce an important change to the Auction House. Up until now it was possible to put items up for sale against diamonds in the Auction House. We intend to deactivate this feature on the May 27th, 2009 for a yet undetermined period of time. Please note that the last day you will be able to put up items for auction against Diamonds will be Wed. May 27th, 2009. You will still be able to trade Diamonds for in-game gold and vice versa.

Token Items reworked! we overworked all Token Items and reduced the ammount for Token/Diamonds to 20:1 yesterday. That means 20 Token are 1 Diamond now! Instead of 23 to 30 before! Most Token items are reduced in Price after this change.

Server Maintenance News on 12 May 2009 (still same version, no new patch)

To reach our goal with a new patch cycle we will not add a patch today. It is our goal to publish a new patch every 4 weeks instead of every week. This enables us to test them more intensively.

A new patch will therefore be put on the internal test server for 4 weeks before we push it onto the live servers We expect the new cycle to be reached within the next 4 weeks.

In other news we will remove all lottery NPCs today!

Through the maintenance we were able to hand our supports a new toy: the possibility to change guild names, or rather marking them for a change.

This function will only be used in the case of offensive guild names, just like with regular player names. In case you spot a name that is highly offensive, both player or guild name, send the support an ingame ticket or use the webformular through our website.

Please notice that a guild renaming will only take place until after a server restart.
