As we land upon our halfway point of the month, our Rich Shadows have stashed more store credit in their pockets! We've doubled the credit drops from Rich Shadows as well as made the lowest drop more likely to be found (60% chance to get 0.02 instead of 48% with 40% chance to get nothing instead of 52%)

Don't forget! Our top 3 Rich Shadow kills during the month of June will receive a boost of store credit as a reward! You can knock out the shadows, collecting Store Credit, and still gain even more once the month ends! 

* Our Top Killer will receive $100 in Store Credit
* Our 2nd Top Killer will receive $75 in Store Credit
* Our 3rd Top Killer will receive $50 in Store Credit

We're also going to have an additional opportuntiy of a raffle reward for this event too! One random Rich Shadow kill will be selected and receive a $25 bonus in Store Credit. If you are already a Top Killer and are randomly selected, your bonus will add to your existing reward.

Y'all! This is crazy! I don't know who our voter is but kudos to everyone for continuing to vote for us on Top Web Games (Apex). This week we're at 128 votes in game and 359 votes on TopWebGames which has us placed at #3rd this week!

While every single vote brings bonuses to everyones gameplay - I think y'all greatly deserve a round of applause alongside a Thank You for your voting efforts this week.

Until Apex Votes resets in 4 days, we have enabled Double Skill drops alongside Increased Skill Gains as temporary events. This should hopefully make skilling a lot easier for a lil bit.

Thanks again to everyone who continues to vote for us on TopWebGames!

At this time, the debuff that has always been meant to be applied in the Nether is now applied properly. In the past, it was broken, but when I fixed it - I accidentally made it only apply if you had the Debuff Immunity applied (me smart).

If you're having trouble fighting in the Twisted Nether now, you'll need to catch that debuff drop to make life easier there.

Happy June everyone!

Thank you for all of your feedback and insights over the recent weeks. Our server migration went over perfectly and with no instability following the migration itself. I'm confident that we'll be able to resume updates now! I apologize for the delay in the Guilds update though I've broken it in a few unexpected ways that weren't caught during testing - I'm continuing work on it in my available time and hope to have it out soon. 

If you have encountered any bugs, please report them on the Discord in the Bug Reports channel so I can easily refer to them when doing bug fixes. I know I have a bunch of stuff to fix but unfortunately it's scattered in written notes, phone notes, chat logs, DM history, and beyond which makes it difficult to accurately keep a mental track of everything I need to address. Please help me keep log of everything by posting bugs either for yourself or others in the appropriate Discord channel - Thank you so much!

With a new month comes a new beast, new event, new sale, and a new shop item for sale. The Goldfingers have departed for better less violent lands though their Rich Shadows have stuck around carrying loose change even now! Beat them up for a chance at Store Credit and join in our latest event!

New Event

Our top 3 Rich Shadow kills during the month of June will receive a boost of store credit as a reward! You can knock out the shadows, collecting Store Credit, and still gain even more once the month ends! 

* Top Killer will receive $100 in Store Credit
* Our 2nd Top Killer will receive $75 in Store Credit
* Our 3rd Top Killer will receive $50 in Store Credit

We're also going to have an additional opportuntiy of a raffle reward for this event too! One random Rich Shadow kill will be selected and receive a $25 bonus in Store Credit. If you are already a Top Killer and are randomly selected, your bonus will add to your existing reward.

Fresh Item Mall sale!

All Item Mall items (except the Attack Speed Boosters and Reborn Charms) are now 25% off until the end of June! We've also added the Reborn Charm to the store for $25/each (permanently) or 5x for $100 (a limited time deal) - these are stackable up to a limit of 250 and add to your reborn count everytime you reborn (after any multipliers/bonuses except the Universe Shard apply). 

Now is a great time to stock up if you're diving into Rebirth Mode. We'll continue implementing reborn increasing items and bonuses within the game too. Stay tuned for our next new item which will be similar to the Dimensional Firework with some exciting twists and stacking abilities!

As planned between 2-4pm, I've updated the guild Presidents as per the announcement! Everyone who requested a guild namely got what they wanted and I hope it turns out to have been a great choice for everyone!

With this phase complete, I've updated every guild to a max member limit of 3 and locked out upgrading the member limits. I'm aiming for a release of the updated guilds next Saturday mid-afternoon. If your guild is above 3 members, please encourage folks to leave or kick them as we'll disable Guild Bonuses if you have more than 3 members starting on Wednesday. You'll automatically have your bonuses re-enabled once your member count reaches 3 or less.

Great news everyone! We've pushed out an updated preferences page which includes the ability for anyone who's purchased a chat color to set a new one (a color picker is included to make life extra easy)

Bad news everyone! Due to poor planning and dangerous potential consequences, we've temporarily disabled any bonuses from the Crafting Table in the Land of Rebirth regarding drops (bonuses / multipliers)

Happy May everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates though we've got a bunch of things being worked on right now. I've managed to get additional help with working on the game in a variety of ways which has really helped our future potential. We're currently working on finalizing the Guilds update which will greatly improve the multiplayer experience of the game while giving us all something new to work towards solo/together. I hope to have that out in the next couple weeks, but stay tuned!

Guild's will be given out to their (perhaps) new owners this Saturday. If you are not online, you will be moved automatically into the President seat of your new guild. If you have not requested an existing guild and want one, please fill out the form in the previous announcement.

Updates!
* Rebirth currencies are implemented in the game now! If you're in rebirth mode, you'll have a chance to find rebirth currency while fighting mobs anywhere! If you're fighting mobs in the Land of Rebirth, you'll have a 2x chance to find rebirth currencies. Beast Scrolls only drop from Rebirth beasts at a rare rate (1:2000 base).
* Crafting Table will now remember what tab you were last on and automatically return you there. This should make spam clicking a solid way to progress without a "Buy X"
* Immoral Leprechauns have fled the lands while Goldfingers have moved in on us! Tackle the new Goldfingers to receive Store Credit (60% chance to receive 1c,5c,10c,25c; prizes double and drop rates increase May 15th)
* Crafting Table has had all Blessed Coins costs increased from Billion to Trillion in base amounts
* Blessed Coin base drop amounts have been reduced (bonuses still increase drop amounts)
* New Announcements now trigger a "level up" message telling you to check out the announcements. This is cleared when you visit the announcements page. You can click [ignore] to dismiss the notice without visiting the announcements page (or if it doesn't properly update due to the new tab)

New Store Item!
As hinted for the past couple months and featured in multiple events so far - we've now confirmed the game code and server stability to offer anyone the ability to potentially greatly increase their auto attack gameplay. We've now added the Attack Speed Boost tiered item to the shop. This allows you to permanently increase your auto attack speed by 11% per tier. If you have the Icarus Wings, your benefits are even greater by taking you as low as 0.35/s per page load!

Our prices and attack estimates are below and assume a player owns the Icarus Wings already. Please note that you must pay per tier and cannot skip tiers w/o paying for them. Our Item Mall shows the pricing based on your currently owned tier.

$60 : 11% : 1.6 seconds per page : 1077.8 attacks/hour (+177.8 attacks)
$125 : 22% : 1.3 seconds per page : 1343.3 attacks/hour (+265.5 attacks)
$250 : 33% : 1.0 seconds per page : 1782.2 attacks/hour (+438.9 attacks)
$450 : 44% : 0.7 seconds per page : 2647.1 attacks/hour (+864.9 attacks)
$600 : 55% : 0.35 seconds per page : 5142.9 attacks/hour (+2495.8 attacks)

I understand the highest tiers are rather expensive though it's critical to note that these purchases apply permanent stress on our server on a near 24/7 basis. Our server resources and bandwidth costs both now and future are baked into the pricing. 

Event Winners!

Congratulations to our following event winners for taking down the most Immoral Leprechauns during the month of April! They have all received their increased auto attack speed until June 1st. We'll host another event in June for the next coming beast rotation.

UnholyRider (rank 1): Gets the 33% faster speed 
Dylan49 (rank 2): Gets the 22% faster speed 
Zyak (rank 3): Gets the 11% faster speed 

Rank    Player    Kills
1    UnholyRider<Necromancers>    1,597
2    Dylan49<Jedi Council>    1,312
3    Zyak<Littlefoot(:>    848

Thanks everyone for your participation! I look forward to further involving our Store Credit into the game to better unlock the overall experience for everyone as we continue to see growth in the 2025 era. I'm absolutely floored by everyones growth so far and I truly cannot wait to see how this year ends up playing out for us all!
