Chat Updates

03 June 2020

It's now been made so that chat will only update if there's new items for it to update. This will lower traffic to and from the server and also allow for a better playing experience when it comes to doing other actions.

Moderators now actually have the ability to formally warn and mute players if necesary. We hope to never user it as you're all such a lovely community. But they're there just in case.

Need for speed pt 2

01 June 2020

I have done some further work on the UI updating to allow for yet even faster gameplay.

I have a need for speed Pt1

30 May 2020

I have made the first update in a series of changes to help alleviate some of the lag we experience during the busier hours of the day. I still have work to do, but this should already be a very noticible difference for you all.

Additionally, I have made some small security changes, which should have also free'd up some processing power, hopefully also helping to contribute to the games speed increases.

Autobots, Roll out.

29 May 2020

There's been a lot of public talk lately about the use of scripts and bots to play the game.

This has always been against our Terms of Use and is in fact a bannable offense.

While yes, I've stated that it's against the rules, but I don't have the time to enforce it, there are now moderators in the game to help alleviate some pressure from me. These moderators will be able to enforce that the rules of the game are adhered to.

Auto attacking is a feature in the game for a reason. Please don't attempt exploit the system, when I've already inbuilt something that can allow you to play idly. It's also unfair to those that have gone about it legitimately.

New Server!

26 May 2020

Today, we have upgraded to a new, more powerful server. Hopefully  this will decrease some of the latency at the busier hours of the game day!

There's a few more points of optimisation to still take place. These will also speed things up, but will take a bit more time.

Special Item duplication

26 May 2020

Fixed an issue where you were able to buy an addition light/dark orb after having completed the questline for Slepnir's Horn.

Chat Lag Fix

26 May 2020

Recently, with the massive uptick in active players, there has been some lag issues, especially towards the end of the game day. This was to do with some inefficient chat queries being made. Today, I have applied some changes that have increased the chats speed by 360%.

This doesn't only affect chat though. With the changes made in how the queries are made, this frees up CPU threads to process other actions faster.

Flash sale

24 May 2020

Flash sale and exp/skill event for the Bank Holiday (uk). Today only!

Fixes and tweaks

22 May 2020

I've made it so that market messages say who the item was sold to. Most of us are very communal and decent but there has been a few snipings of items from the market. This will tell you who, but we won't do anything about it still. It's part of the game.

I have relaxed the failed security bannings somewhat. It will now take more failures before being jailed from play temporarily. Please stop being impatient if you see lag from the game. Wait for your action to load, DO NOT keep pressing other random buttons. This can cause you to miss a test and is time consuming to revert should you fail in this way. I won't be doing this anymore. If you've failed enough times to actually get jailed, there's something fundamentally wrong with how you're playing.

I have fixed a bug with regard to critical skill gains when you have any of the critical skill boost perks. Characters affected have also been rectified.

Exploit fixes

14 May 2020

Today I've fixed 2 exploitable bugs.

You can no longer directly call the surface api for attacking monsters. Closing an exploit that allows you to use a refresher script to play the game.

Also closed a related issue where you could use the same url while banned. Added ban checks on actions.

If you cannot attack, clear your browser cache.

Exploitable bugs like these are rewarded if reported. punished if abused. Thankfully this was reported.
