No, it hasn't been forgotten, it's quite a deep technical fix and our first round of fixes for it didn't solve the issue entirely. We're working on it!

Ahoy Pathfinders!

Today's log will just be a brief update on our current status with our upcoming Mega patch touching on where we are!

MAY MEGA UPDATE

The team are currently working on wrapping up the patch for internal review and we expect it to enter our QA process later today. Following that, we'll be hitting it hard and barring any fires, we should be in a good state to get the update released onto our new Public Test Realm soon. This means that we're currently planning for the Public Test Realm to be available around the end of next week. As we get closer to the date, we'll be able to provide you with a more specific timeline. So far it's been smooth sailing, and we're on track for our end of the month release date.

For those who have been away at sea, in our last Captain's Log, we covered our most recent Developer Livestream, as well as spoke about the content that's coming in the latest update. If you've not had a chance to watch the stream, you can do so he...

Ahoy Pathfinders

We've had our heads down and just wanted to give you a quick update on where we're at with our upcoming Public Test Realm and major version release!

Public Test Realm

The team has been running the latest update through its paces via our internal testing and bug fixing prior to releasing it to all of you on the PTR for more wide-scale extensive testing. We've found the Public Test realm to be highly beneficial for our team thanks to your enthusiasm in helping us to identify issues and bugs.

We're excited to relaunch the PTR next week prior to the update officially launching on our main network. We will keep you posted in regards to the exact date!

Magic Mythos Event

We will be holding a special Magic Mythos Event in tandem with the extended weekend from now until Tuesday. Bonus 3x rates across the ATLAS to EXP, harvesting, taming, gold, crop growth, and as a special bonus, breeding and raising creatures!

Spam Bots work by crawling and looking for signatures of known software. Usually this is a snippet of text like a copyright or a meta tag but it could be any consistent identifier. This usually applies to blog and forum software.

It is a constant back and forth between Captcha/ReCaptcha/use of a field that requires the user to answer a question and the bots "learning" them. Rinse and repeat.

Making security in regards to these bots as tight as possible tends to lead to genuine users encountering difficulty or frustration in signing up to our Forums so we look to walk a fine line between catching the bots and user experience.

Attention Pathfinders,

Recently, we were able to identify multiple ways in which players were able to gain a massive amount of experience points, very quickly. Some of these methods were made public, some reported privately, and others were identified internally. We wanted to be thorough and catch every possible way this could have been abused. Due to these bugs, a few scenarios arose ingame:

Players were levelling much faster than intended.

Our aim was to tackle this in the smoothest way possible, and our intention was to avoid a wipe/rollback, and minimize damage to innocence at all costs. Ultimately, this is what we’ve decided to do and with our most recent update, we have introduced the following changes:

Crafting Bonus on items is now capped at 60%.
