Ruprecht needs your help, RetroCorians! The goblins of the Grynch clan have invaded RetroCores to steal Christmas presents. Stop these little buggers, confiscate the stolen gifts and bring them back to Ruprecht. Hurry!

Ho ho ho! Santa has been spotted in Tibia, carrying a huge bag full of gifts. Have you been a well-behaved and obedient RetroCorian this year? Also, messengers from Santa are selling Christmas decorations in all major towns.

At today's server-save, we are releasing a small patch that affects exp history and Roshamuul.

Yesterday, we updated the character pages to not only display raw exp history, but also total exp change.
A hidden issue made the raw exp reported to the website often to be inaccurate, much lower than it should be in reality.
For this reason, exp history between the server-saves of Dec 9 and 10, will for some players be extremely different, their total exp change could show 10-20x higher than raw exp.
Today's history (ss Dec 10-11) should be accurate, but could have the same issue, we will keep analyzing the system responsible for raw exp reporting during the day in the hope that it will act right for all players.

In Roshamuul, we've removed the Silencer's magic level reducer, as it does not fit or make sense in the RetroCores universe, as we're not a potion-based game, but rather spell and rune-based.
This change should make Roshamuul more feasible for more players.

Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff

Today, we're releasing a small update in which we have 2 things in focus.

Exp History
We have completely removed the old exp history system, which proved to be unreliable with sometimes not updating properly, displaying exp that was gained by other means than actually killing creatures, such as task exp, restoration for characters in bug situations, and redemptions.

The best exp ranking has long been littered by high numbers that weren't gained by hunting.

We've remade the entire system to be much more reliable, to be updated correctly 100% of the time, and more importantly, only count raw exp gained by hunting.
From now on, the exp history and ranking will not be affected by different rates, boosts, or other things that could give player exp by other means than hunting.
This means as of today, the history of exp has been wiped clean of all characters.

Roshamuul
We've increased the number of monsters on almost the entire Roshamuul.
Guzzlemaw Valley now has 2-3x more monsters than before.
Everything on the surface north of the valley has 2-4x more monsters.
The bottom floor of the prison has also seen an increase in monsters, stretching from 1.5x - 3x more monsters.
Areas that have not had any changes are sights, banes, and sleeps.
Everything south of the Valley also has no changes in spawns (entire entry "island").

In the past, we've run a few double exp/skill/loot events, based on feedback, we've decided to change how these events work!
Players often miss out on the events due to their limited time.

Today, we've released our new event system, which is customizable for everyone!

Account Boost Event
Account Boost Events is a system that allow players to customize their own exp/skill boosts and activate them when they have the best chance of making the most of them.

General
This is a system that replaced the traditional "double exp/skill events", that formerly had specific dates of when there was a boost of experience and skill that could cause issues for many.
Some was not able to participate in the events, while others found it hard to actually use it due to suddenly crowded hunting spots.

Account Boost Events allow each and everyone to decide for themselves when to use the available boost, within a certain time of course.
Normally, a boost event is available to activate over the course of a few days, often stretching from one weekend to another.

If there's an account boost event pending, you will be notified as you login to the game!

If you have activated an event, it will also notify you about how long time is left on it!

On your account panel, if there's any events present, you will find them looking something like this

When you activate an event, or login, you will get messages like these notifying you!


If you are online and using a boost when it expires, you will get a message like this

Limitations

• An event can only be activated in 1 world.
• Any activated event, cannot be paused nor modified.
• The duration of the event is not affected by online/offline time.
• Events may sometimes be for specific worlds, which means you might not be able to activate it in the world you would want to.
• You cannot auction any characters once you've activated an event in the same world, until it's globally expired for everyone.
• Skill events only deliver 10% of effective bonus while using exercise weapons.

How to obtain event boosts

• Boosts will be offered a few times every year.
• They may also be offered to specific worlds sometimes.
• You might also be able to win some event boosts of certain events that may offer them as a reward.

Stack functionality
If you would at some point have 2 offers of event of same type, say experience, they would stack the rate, not the time.
For example, you activate event A, which offers you 1.5x rate, it lasts for 2 days.
Then you activate event B, which offers you 2x rate, it lasts for 1 day.
You will now have 2.5x exp ingame for 1 day, after that event B will expire, and you'll now have 1.5x exp for the remaining time until event A expires.

The rate, is applied to your raw input of experience, meaning that any other game modifications will be applied later, in this order:
* = multiplier of exp

1. Raw Exp
2. * Traditional Rates
3. * Event Rates (exp * (rate + rate) = new exp) <-- This is where account boost events are calculated
4. * Player various rates

Accounts created while event offer is active
Any global offers of account boost events applies to all accounts, new as old, even if an account is created after the offer has been created.

Expire Time
You cannot activate an event after the offer expire.
An event accepted will adjust the expire time to time of acceptance + duration, which means even if you accept an event with 5 minutes left of offer, you will still get the full duration of the event.

Others
Due to limitations of the game, we cannot have loot based events for now, as creatures are carrying their loot and are affected by it, it would cause some serious miss-matches having loot differ for different players.
If we run double loot or similar, they will remain as before, strict and on limited days.

First event, a test run!
As of this release, we've added 2 events, one double experience, and one double loot.
They have a 3 day duration and the offer will expire on December 13, so you can decide yourself when to activate them, this weekend, or next.. or maybe the middle days as well.

Information about how account boost event work always be available here: FAQ -Account Boost Events.

We hope this comes as glad news for most of you, and that you wont be too upset we cannot do the same with the loot!

Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff
