Outwar | Browser Based MMORPG

The War of Zhul has begun! Skaar, Sorcerer of Plague has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Changes for this event include:
- Tier 1 quest items have been removed from the Zhulian Friar to reduce reward clutter and remaining items have had their drop rate increased to compensate.
- Drop rates are generally slightly lowered between each event, however with recent glitch abuse and bans affecting this, drop rates have been slightly increased from the previous event. We will monitor this and make changes after day 3 if required.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The Zhulian Friar has appeared to protect their new master. This 20-man daily Prime God raid has a chance to drop items including Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more.

Welx, Gladiator of Zhul is once again available to attack. Welx will remain active for 7 days before retreating. Rewards for the top 30 damage dealers include Efflorescent Spear (top 10), Ring of Kinetic Power (top 30), Erupting Augment (top 30) and Recharge the Fury (top 30).

Players can only participate with 1 character per server in the Summoning Shard Contest. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA (winning server only) to receive the rewards.

The war will end in 2 weeks, at which point the server boss will appear. For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

The annual celebration of Halloween and Outwar's Anniversary has begun! Speak with El Risitas to begin the Halloversary quest. During the event we will be holding giveaways in our Discord server, including 2 giveaways to receive a Veldarian Helm Boon of your choice.

RNGesus will also be in room 114 during the event to truly test your luck. This daily 10-man prime god raid has a chance to drop up to 22 different items including Veldarian Helm Boons and Soul Fractures.

All Halloversary mobs, quests and quest items will be removed when the event ends on the 5th of November at 7am OW time.

The annual Halloversary event will begin on the 31st of October at 7am OW time and run for 5 days until the 5th of November at 7am OW time. During this time players will be able to raid RNGesus (now a Prime God) and attack mobs for rewards including potions, treasury items and rare quest items. We will also be holding regular giveaways on our discord server during the event.

- Removed security word requirement for the Underling page.
- Added kill counts to the recent kills list for prime gods.
- Unkilled prime gods will no longer show in the recent kills section.
- Raised the maximum captcha timeout to 20 seconds.

We would like to share some information on our content plans for the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

Augment Dungeon
Work is ongoing on the augment crate / dungeon, zone creation for the dungeon is complete and now the focus is on item / mob / quest creation. We are still seeking feedback on what you would like to see with this update. Important notes about our current plans for this update include:

- Solo crate similar to Vessels, dungeon key obtained via solo crate drop.
- 3-Man dungeon with 4 quest paths. 1 Moderate difficulty path for each faction, plus a hard difficulty requiring any faction, keys for hard difficulty obtained via faction dungeon raids.
- Chance to obtain augments buffed with faction bonuses from dungeon raids.
- Reduction of augment transfer costs for all augments which currently cost over 25 points to transfer.

Events
As usual we plan to hold the Halloversary and Christmas events this year, along with the final War of Zhul for cycle 3. Due to recent discoveries of inflated item counts due to glitch abuse, we now plan to postpone previously mentioned event quest requirement changes to the first War of Zhul of cycle 4 in July 2025, as we take time to evaluate new data for the final 2 events of cycle 3.

Expansion Content
Upon completion of the augment dungeon, we will begin work on the Faction Brawl which we aim to release in early 2025. Other updates planned for 2025 include a new prime god raid and releasing the remaining quests to obtain Faction Loyalty and Codexes.

Prime God System
We still have updates planned for the prime god system. These plans include improving information displayed on the prime god page, limiting the effect of trade sets on prime gods and finding solutions for gods remaining on the captcha system.

Six new level 95 enhancements have been added to the Treasury. Their effects are as follows:

- Alvar Fortitude: Increases your character's Original Elemental Damage by 1% per active Alvar Loyalty (effect requires Alvar as current faction).
- Delruk Fortitude: Increases your character's Base Attack and Vile Damage by 2% per active Delruk Loyalty (effect requires Delruk as current faction).
- Vordyn Fortitude: Increases your character's Chaos Damage by 2% per active Vordyn Loyalty (effect requires Vordyn as current faction).
- Unleash the Power: Allows you to store an additional 5% of total damage dealt to DC mobs, unleashing the stored damage once they drop below 20% hp.
- Master of Combat: Gives your character a 10% chance to double strip and gain exp in PvP attacks.
- Prime Vanquisher: Increases your character's maximum god raid cap to 12.

As level 95 skills and enhancements are now complete, we shift our focus to the Augment Dungeon. Our initial plan was to release the level 95 Faction Brawl before the Augment Dungeon, however with recent delays we feel shifting focus to the dungeon is more important and instead we will aim to have the brawl ready by late 2024 or early 2025.

Over the coming weeks we will be looking for feedback in the suggestion channels of our discord server on what you would like to see with this dungeon, relative to your experience with the Vault of Madness dungeon. Feedback we will be looking for includes quest layout, reward system (quest based or crew vault based), difficulty and other QoL improvements. To give players a base to provide feedback with, our current plan is as follows:

- Solo crates and 3 player dungeon.
- Separate faction based dungeons and a potential harder difficulty dungeon requiring any faction.
- Faction based stat variance on some rare augments.
- Level 91 entry, however some harder content may require level 95.

Three new level 95 skills have been added to the game, each increasing the caster's health against various forms of content. The amount of health is determined by your loyalty with your active faction. Rank 10 bonuses for each skill are as follows:

- Loyal Ferocity: Health increased by 0.6% per active loyalty vs DC mobs.
- Loyal Preservation: Health increased by 0.6% per active loyalty vs raids.
- Loyal Affliction: Health increased by 0.6% per active loyalty in PvP.

Lvl 92: Maella in the Vordyn Refuge is offering a new quest called Mission for Maella.

The War of Zhul has begun! Tarak, Brute of Affliction has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The Zhulian Friar has appeared to protect their new master. This 20-man daily Prime God raid has a chance to drop items including Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more.

Welx, Gladiator of Zhul is once again available to attack. Welx will remain active for 7 days before retreating. Rewards for the top 30 damage dealers include Efflorescent Spear (top 10), Ring of Kinetic Power (top 30), Erupting Augment (top 30) and Recharge the Fury (top 30).

Players can only participate with 1 character per server in the Summoning Shard Contest. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA (winning server only) to receive the rewards.

The war will end in 2 weeks, at which point the server boss will appear. For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

Prime Gods
With the majority of the prime god system now in place, we will soon shift our focus back to general content. Areas we are still working on and asking for feedback on include:

- How many remaining point gods should be transferred to the prime god system?
- If no more gods are changed to prime gods, should some rewards such as points be moved from the remaining gods to prime gods?
- We are aware of the tradeable item effect on prime gods and while this is a method we intend to prevent, there is no quick solution without affecting the normal equip limit so this may take time to implement.
- At this stage we plan to change the Zhulian Friar to a prime god and raise the power required, however this change including difficulty is something we will be seeking feedback on.

General Content
We are currently progressing through a long overdue coding overhaul to the attack and raid system (only behind the scenes and won't affect anything on the player side) in aim of greatly improving the ease of adding new abilities and removing limitations on what abilities can be added to the game in the future. Once this has been completed we will focus on adding level 95 enhancements and three new skills.

Expansion Content
Once the above mentioned enhancements and skills have been added to the game, we will shift focus to the level 95 PvP Brawl and Augment Dungeon. Content involved in these additions will partly depend on what new forms of content can be added once the current attack system code overhaul is complete. Once we have a clearer picture of this, we will make this information public to collect feedback and ideas.

The five Elemental Masters, Karvaz, Felroc and Kretok have been converted to Prime Gods. Areas we are currently working on and seeking feedback for are:

- Cap Status page improvements.
- Trade sets on prime gods.
- Future prime god conversions.

Other recent updates include:

- Fixed issues with some raidbound item displays. Some raidbound items obtained between the 1st and 6th of June will no longer be raidbound.
- Changed the Crew Member Status section of the capstatus page to include caps used in previous crews.

This weekend we will begin the first of a 3 phase process of testing and eventually releasing the new god raiding system on live servers. Phase 1 is syncing files to live servers and testing on a dummy raid. Phase 2 is converting Rezun, Banok and Envar to the new system for live testing. Phase 3 is converting all gods from Nafir and above to the new system. More gods will be converted over time, however for now we want to monitor the system and feedback along with it before making decisions on what changes are needed or if more gods can be converted with no change required.

System Basics
- The Prime Gods page (accessible via crew menu) will display all prime gods and their current spawn status. Clicking a god takes you to a page with specific details for that god.
- All unspawned prime gods have a chance to spawn every hour (12:30pm, 1:30pm etc), with chances increasing over time. Spawn chance every hour is updated on each god's page.
- Prime gods will remain spawned for 23 hours during which crews can raid and increase their kill count for that god. Player caps still apply per successful raid. - Loot will be rolled on once the spawn timer has ended and can be viewed in real time. The more kills a crew has the better chance they have to win loot.

Other Details
- Points are rolled on like items in max batches of 100, split to all characters in a winning raid for that spawn in 1 point increments. If there are more characters than 1 point awards, characters to receive points will be randomized.
- If a god is unkilled when the spawn window ends it will respawn immediately.
- NFT points for prime gods are awarded at the same time the god awards loot.
- Oracles can not be used for prime gods, we will remove oracles from the treasury during phase 3 and replace the oracle bundle on the Triworld Simulation with Vault Tears.

We are also looking for feedback on the following topics:
- Which remaining old system gods can be converted to prime gods with no changes.
- What changes are needed such as merging gods / changing loot on weaker gods.
- Point awarding process.
- UI improvements / information displayed.

Lvl 92: Arvik in the Delruk Hideaway is offering a new quest called Hideaway Skirmish.

Events
We have decided to postpone previously mentioned changes to event quest requirements until the Trial of Power in March 2025. While this will result in inflated overall item numbers for the next 2 events, it will allow all 2-slot WoZ events to remain the same while giving players more advanced warning of these changes. This also removes a change to be worked on while we focus on the creation of the new god raiding system and other expansion content.

God Raiding System
We have posted an updated draft system in the #god-discussion channel of our discord server following recent discussions and feedback. While this is still a draft and more changes are likely, we expect to begin work on this system within the next 2 weeks. While work on this system is likely to cause short-term delays to other content, we expect improvements to time spent working on all content once this change is made.

Three new guardians have been added to the Triworld Sanctuary. These raids can incur a damage bonus from up to 50 loyalty from a specific faction. Rewards for defeating these raids can include:

- Points.
- Amulets.
- Powerful gear and an augment.
- Soul Fractures and Nexus of Animation.
- Amalgamation Blossom (faction specific).
- Catalyst of Focusing which can be exchanged with each faction emissary.
- God Slayer artifacts which can be exchanged with the Triworld Slayer.

We would like to share an update about our progress on upcoming content, information on events and potential changes to the god raiding system.

Expansion Updates
We continue to work on previously mentioned expansion updates, with the next major update bringing 3 new god raids in the coming weeks. Following this our expansion focus will shift to preparing level 95 enhancements and starting work on the level 95 Faction Brawl, which we will be looking for further feedback on in the coming weeks.

Events
As we have outlined in the past, it is necessary over time to adjust the requirement amounts of main event quests once specific steps start to become mass completed by multi characters. This helps to keep balance by preventing excessive inflation of item counts and overall power creep. Over the previous 2 events we have now reached the threshold where changes have to be made. While we plan to make a general increased shard requirement change for the next event, we also plan to increase the overall item goal to account for recent increases in high end quest completions.

God Raids
We have recently been focusing more on reading feedback about the current god raiding system, primarily around the use of captchas. While our primary goal with this system has always been to keep some form of human element (in this case typing captchas), we are increasingly aware that with advancements in AI and limited moderation capabilities, this may no longer be a viable solution for Outwar. This has led to internal discussions about what changes can be made, which so far have proven unsuccessful due to other solutions being incompatible or having similar problems with automated completion. Our aim is still to find a solution that keeps a human element, however we feel that the time has come to start openly discussing alternative systems that could be used in case changes need to be made.

We have created a temporary #god-discussion channel in our discord server which outlines the basics of some paths that could be taken. Once we have collected feedback and discussed each method in detail, we will decide which method would be chosen if changes were to be made. Once this has been decided, we can begin working with players to discuss more of the finer details such as how loot is handled and if all gods should be changed to the new system. When discussing these topics, we ask players to please keep these points in mind to help make the chat as productive as possible:

- No changes are final, if a change does not work out it may be reverted.
- Players will often provide feedback from their own perspective. This is fine and encouraged, please do not complain about suggestions only benefiting the person who made them. Keep the chat civil and on topic, any excessive off-topic chat or toxicity will result in timeouts.
- Many potential changes mentioned by us or players will not be viable. Please do not overreact to anything posted that you disagree with and keep discussion civil. We want to be as thorough as possible when discussing these potential changes which means discussing things that may obviously not be a fit.

The War of Zhul has begun! Gorath, Baron of Necromancy has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The Zhulian Friar has appeared to protect their new master. This 20-man daily Guardian raid has a chance to drop items including Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more.

Welx, Gladiator of Zhul is once again available to attack. Welx will remain active for 7 days before retreating. Rewards for the top 30 damage dealers include Efflorescent Spear (top 10), Ring of Kinetic Power (top 30), Erupting Augment (top 30) and Recharge the Fury (top 30).

Players can only participate with 1 character per server in the Summoning Shard Contest. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA (winning server only) to receive the rewards.

The war will end in 2 weeks, at which point the server boss will appear. For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

A new gladiator has been added to the Gladiator Arena. The Gladiator of Loyalty tests both overall power and loyalty to factions. Similar to previous gladiators the top 50 overall damage dealers will receive ranked Loyalty Chests containing Triworld Gladiator Marks. Ranked Specialty Chests will also be awarded to the top 15 damage dealers from each faction, with chances of receiving a Codex or rare quest items to create 2 new augments. Each character can receive specialty rewards from only 1 faction per spawn which is determined by the active faction when the highest damage attack occured. Changing faction after setting your highest damage will not affect your ranking unless you improve your damage. Further information on loot can be found on the gladiator page.

The Triworld Treasurer is offering 5 quests to exchange Triworld Gladiator Marks for a Recharge the Fury, Spark the Fury or a Catalyst of Momentum for each faction which can be exchanged with the faction emissaries.

The Gladiator Engineer is offering 2 quests to obtain new augments by exchanging rare items found in Specialty Chests. The Augment of Loyalty can be earned by exchanging a Triad of Loyalty.

The Triworld Titan Augment can be earned by exchanging an Alvar, Delruk and Vordyn Titan Soul.

New tasks have been set by Ravar to test your abilities against powerful Amalgamation raids. These 3-man raids can be spawned by obtaining Amalgamation Blossoms from the Triworld Simulation or Animation of Versatility (Blossoms will also be available from upcoming gladiator and god updates). Amalgamation raids will drop a guaranteed 3 Catalysts of Amalgamation (faction specific), have a chance to drop Codexes and have a rare chance to drop Deathwalker gear.

As a reminder, there are less than 3 days to enter the Superbowl pool. Entries will close when the game starts.

The Superbowl Pool is now open! We are once again hosting 2 pools, one with a 50 point entry and another with a 500 point entry (5% transfer tax will apply, therefore total entry cost for the pools will be 52.5 points and 525 points). Each pool's reward will be separate, therefore every player can enter both pools once as long as you choose the same team. To enter the pools, send 50 or 500 points to Slash with the team you want to win. If you are entering both pools, you can send 550 points in one transfer. If your team wins, you will get your entry fee (including tax) back and the remaining points will be split evenly between all the winners. Outwar will be adding 105 points to the small pool and 1050 points to the large pool as well! All entries must be sent before the game begins.

The level 95 expansion is now live! The Triworld Sanctuary was formed to unite worlds seeking knowledge, protection and to preserve peace. Three factions have come together under common goals to learn from each other and unite against possible future threats. Speak with Zugas outside the Triworld Sanctuary to begin your adventure. As you progress through the 4 main quests provided by Trelon, you will gain the ability to choose a faction.

FACTIONS
- The Delruk Alliance was formed by members of Diamond City and other nearby lands. They focus on base attack and vile damage.
- The Alvar Liberation was formed by the survivors of the Astral Dimension war. They focus on original elemental damages.
- The Vordyn Rebellion was formed on Veldara during the reign of Thanox. They focus on chaos damage.

Factions work similar to classes, with each character being able to choose one of 3 options. Each character is able to change faction once per month for free via the Change Faction page (also linked via the character menu) and the free faction change timer resets at the start of every month, however changing faction more than once per month will require a Faction Change item. Unlike classes, bonuses for being in each faction are not initially provided via direct stats, instead they provide access to faction specific content and activate your Faction Loyalty. While this initial update focuses primarily on the loyalty system and damage bonuses, content including level 95 enhancements will be added in the future focusing on faction specific stats.

FACTION LOYALTY
Players can increase their loyalty with each faction (up to a maximum of 10) by completing Catalyst tasks provided by the Alvar Emissary, Delruk Emissary and Vordyn Emissary. Completing these tasks will award a Proven Loyalty item, which can be exchanged with Artel, Dumar or Valka to permanently increase your loyalty with that faction. Secondary rewards such as augments are also earned by increasing loyalty. The first 2 catalyst quests have been added with this update, with the remaining 8 to be released with future updates. While the Catalyst of Evolution is playerbound, all other catalysts will be tradeable.

Increasing your loyalty with each faction can provide bonus damage for yourself vs mobs and for all members vs raids. The bonus damage amount is determined by the effect % each encounter has, multiplied by the amount of maximum loyalty that takes effect during the encounter. Loyalty will only take effect through your current active faction.

In addition to bonus damage, loyalty can also be used to increase the power of your Triworld Influence skill, which is earned by completing the Faction Initiations quest. The power of this skill is determined by the amount of codexes collected, increased by up to 100% based on your highest faction loyalty (10% per loyalty). Codexes can be found from expansion related content which players need to discover, with 29 being added with this initial update out of the eventual total of 50. While codex 1-10 are playerbound, all other codexes will be tradeable.

POTIONS
2 New potions have been added with this update, including the Remnant Solice Lev 11. The Triworld Tincture has also been added, which can be obtained by collecting Tincture Essences and exchanging them with Gabtuk.

UPCOMING CONTENT
Content to be released in the coming weeks includes:
- A new 10-man guardian raid.
- A new Server Boss raid including a new best-in-slot set.
- More Catalyst quests and Codexes.

The level 95 expansion will go live on the 12th of January. The initial launch will bring new levels, zones, quests, factions and more. Content to be released in the weeks following the initial launch includes a new god raid, server boss and more faction based content. As we perform final live testing, we have added a temporary test mob and raid displaying faction bonuses to room 37820 in the Farmers Market.

Following the conclusion of the fantasy football season this weekend, we will be hosting a discord giveaway for premium points (amount to be determined) early next week.

The annual Outwar Christmas Event draws ever so closer. The event will run for 3 days, starting on the 15th of December at 7am. During this time players can obtain candy canes and present them to Saint Nick for rewards including experience, potions and other treasury items. We will also be hosting discord giveaways, so be sure to join our discord server and keep an eye on the giveaways channel!

- The Quest Experience Potion has been raised from lvl 84 & 50% to lvl 89 & 100%.
- Following recent changes to prevent abusable loopholes, Recharge the Fury rewards have also been removed from the Knight of Stars and No Time for Jokes quests, and the Quest Shard requirement has been removed from No Time for Jokes.

The War of Zhul has begun! Vorox, Mind of Ruin has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The annual celebration of Halloween and Outwar's Anniversary has begun! Speak with El Risitas to begin the Halloversary quest. During the event we will be holding giveaways in our Discord server, including 2 giveaways to receive a Veldarian Helm Boon of your choice.

RNGesus will also be in room 114 during the event to truly test your luck. This 1 day respawn, 20-man god raid has a chance to drop up to 22 different items with varying drop rates, including Veldarian Helm Boons.

All Halloversary mobs, quests and quest items will be removed when the event ends on the 5th of November at 7am OW time.

FACTIONS
Upon reaching level 91, players will be able to choose one of three factions to join. Unlike classes, factions can be changed once every month for free, however changing faction more than once per month will require an item similar to the Character Class Change item. Factions will have unique content only accessible by being a member of each faction and will provide benefits through Faction Loyalty which is the main upgrade system for this expansion. Players can increase their loyalty with each faction through various tasks, which will increase their damage and/or all raid member's damage in faction based mob and raid attacks. Faction loyalty will only take effect for the player's current active faction. We have shared more detailed information on the faction loyalty system in the #expansion-discussion channel in our discord server. We are currently looking for feedback on factions along with ideas for new Class, Preservation and Ferocity skills.

RELEASE TIMEFRAME
As previously mentioned, our goal has been for the initial expansion launch to be ready by the end of the year. We are still on track to meet this goal, however looking at the upcoming event and holiday periods, the best suited release date we are currently aiming for is the 5th of January. Below is a breakdown of content currently planned, however content and the planned release date are subject to change depending on further progress made and if anything is added to the initial launch plan.

CONTENT ON LAUNCH
Updates with the initial expansion launch will include:
- New zones and quests
- Level 91-95
- Level 95 Remnant Solice potion and a new tradeable potion
- Faction system with Faction Loyalty progress for mob attack / raid attack benefits
- Faction specific content to upgrade Loyalty and other rewards
- New skill upgraded by collecting up to 50 unique items, players must find sources of all upgrades

CONTENT AFTER LAUNCH
Updates throughout 2024 will include:
- God raids & other faction based raids
- More quests to gain experience
- Level 95 enhancements and alternative ways to spend experience
- Server Boss
- Gladiator
- Level 95 PvP Brawl
- Augment Dungeon
- Level 95 skills

The Potion Token Trader in the Farmers Market is now offering quests to exchange Damned, Halloween or Wonderland Tokens for combined potions. 5 Damned Tokens can be exchanged for a Damned Element Shot which has now been buffed to 200 ele damage, 75 Halloween Tokens can be exchanged for the new Halloween Potion and 10 Wonderland Tokens can be exchanged for the new Wonderland Potion. Any excess Damned, Halloween and Wonderland Tokens will then be deleted when phase 2 ends at 7am on the 10th of November.

Content where old potions have been replaced by combined potions includes:
- The Astral Guardian Quest now awards 3 Wonderland Potions.
- Red King, Black King and Jabberwocky now have a chance to drop a Wonderland Potion.
- Vork Exchange (Wonderland Potions) now awards 1 Wonderland Potion.
- Vork Exchange (Halloween Potions) now awards 1 Halloween Potion.
- Halloversary quests will now award Halloween Potions.

We would like to share more information on current development including expansion progress and new captcha trials for guardian raids.

General zone, mob and quest creation has now been completed for the next expansion launch, meaning the development focus now shifts toward the faction system and other endgame content. As mentioned in an earlier post, experience gains will be different early on with this launch. After some introduction quests, the majority of early available experience will come from quests associated with levelling up faction bonuses (similar to the primary quests from previous expansions such as Rune, Chaos Gem etc). The aim with this is to slow down the initial levelling process for the majority of users, but to still release general experience quests as usual over time. We are also exploring ideas with repeatable content at max level to choose between experience or other rewards, as well as different methods to spend excess experience outside of enhancements. We are currently looking for feedback on what alternative rewards you would like max level experience to be used for other than enhancements. The next area we will be sharing information and seeking feedback on will be the faction system and their bonuses associated with mob and raid attacks.

Unrelated to the initial expansion launch as it would be released at a later date, one more area which was not mentioned in our original expansion update that we have a rough draft on is a level 95 faction based PvP brawl, with a potential new upgrade for the epic chest.

Over the coming days we plan to start a trial for new guardian raid captchas, initially for non-point guardians only. We will be looking for feedback on any captcha that may be tested in the #suggestion-discussion channel of our discord server, however keep in mind at this stage none of the changes that will be made are permanent and are only for collecting feedback.

As a reminder Halloween, Wonderland and Damned potions and quest turnins will be removed on the 29th of September at 7am OW time, with the new combined potions being added later that day.

We have reduced the transfer cost of the following sets:

- Ancestral reduced to 25 (was 125).
- Cosmic reduced to 25 (was 100).
- Veldar Ranger reduced to 20 (was 100).
- Thunder Mage reduced to 20 (was 100).
- Profound reduced to 20 (was 80).
- 8-Bit reduced to 20 (was 60).
- Platinum reduced to 20 (was 50).
- Astral reduced to 15 (was 40).
- Gold reduced to 15 (was 30).
- Alsayic reduced to 15 (was 30).
- Metallurgy reduced to 15 (was 20).
- Scallywag reduced to 15 (was 20).

- Boon of Nature price reduced to 2250 (was 4500).
- Added a Next Page button to the top of the Item Transfer page.

We have started the process of combining Damned, Halloween and Wonderland potions similar to how Resistance potions were combined in 2021. Potions involved are listed at the bottom of this post. This will be a 2 phase process with each phase lasting 1.5 months to give players ample time to use potions or complete exchanges.

Phase 1: Now - 29th September.
Phase 1 consists of exchanging current potions for Damned, Halloween or Wonderland Tokens which will be used to obtain the new combined potions in phase 2. Traders in the Farmers Market are now offering quests to exchange any of the potions listed at the bottom of this post. The amount of potion tokens each quest awards is determined by the rarity of the potion being exchanged. All of the listed potions will be deleted when phase 1 ends on the 29th of September at 7am OW time, so be sure to either consume or exchange them before this time. Phase 2 will begin later that day after a period of time while old potions are deleted and to prevent overlap.

Phase 2: 29th September - 10th November.
Phase 2 consists of exchanging Damned, Halloween or Wonderland Tokens for the new combined potions. 5 Damned Tokens can be exchanged for a Damned Element Shot which will be buffed to 200 ele damage when phase 2 begins. 75 Halloween Tokens can be exchanged for the new Halloween Potion and 10 Wonderland Tokens can be exchanged for the new Wonderland Potion.

We would like to share some information on general updates we have planned for the coming weeks.

- Information releases on planned expansion content.
- Wonderland, Halloween and Damned potion combining.
- Set transfer cost reductions.
- Rarity reductions for some King, Brutal and Godly rarity items.
- King of the Week stat increases.
- Illusion Wave 10.
- Other general updates.

Before the War of Zhul ends there will be a 24 hour period where test items will be added to event mob loot for data collection purposes. Any item found named "Test Item 1/2/3" will have no purpose other than data collection and can safely be ignored by players.

The War of Zhul has begun! Bazak, Demon of Hatred has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The Zhulian Friar has appeared to protect their new master. This daily Guardian raid has a chance to drop items including Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more.

Welx, Gladiator of Zhul is once again available to attack. Welx will remain active for 7 days before retreating. Rewards for the top 30 damage dealers include Efflorescent Spear (top 10), Ring of Kinetic Power (top 30), Erupting Augment (top 30) and Recharge the Fury (top 30).

Players can only participate with 1 character per server in the Summoning Shard Contest. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA (winning server only) to receive the rewards.

The war will end in 2 weeks, at which point the server boss will appear. For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

We would like to share information on some of the content being worked on for the remainder of 2023, in particular regarding the next expansion. Our recent focus has been preparing Cycle 3 and spending time on the basics of the next expansion including draft concepts, zone creation, mob creation and more. As more general tasks are completed, focus will shift further toward completing the expansion launch.

Events
As Cycle 3 is set to begin with the War of Zhul on the 21st of July, event focus now shifts to Halloversary and the next War of Zhul in November. We have made significant reductions to the difficulty of steps for the Halloversary quest this year, plus new combined Halloween Potions will also be added which is discussed below.

Potion Combining
As we alluded to in our Discord server, we are planning an update to combine more potions similar to how resistance potions were combined 2 years ago. We plan to combine singular Damned Shots into Damned Element Shots and buff the Damned Element Shot to 200 ele damage. We also plan to combine Halloween candy potions into a new potion and combine common Wonderland potions into another new potion. This will be done by exchanging old potions for a currency, then exchanging that currency for new potions at a later date. The amount of currency each potion will award will be determined by how rare they are. Once the new potions have been released we also plan to make these potions easier to obtain relative to collecting all of the current potions. Specific details will be given on this process when it begins on the 11th of August.

Expansion
As progress is made on the level 95 expansion, we would like to hear feedback on what type of content or changes you would like to see in the #expansion-discussion channel of our discord server. Specific details will be pinned in this channel for players to provide feedback on as they are finalized over the coming months. Our aim is still to have this expansion released around the end of the year, however exact timeframes won't be known until further progress is made including planning what content will be available at launch. While we won't share specific details on content and when it will be released until a later date, our primary goals over the duration of the next expansion which we would like feedback on include:

- Slowing down the release of initial levelling content.
- Shifting more toward special ability enhancements and special quest item rewards for experience use past max level.
- Methods to spend excess experience after maxing enhancements.
- Faction system including 3 factions players can choose from. Ability to change faction over time so players aren't permanently locked in.
- Various solo and group content requiring each or all factions.
- New system for mob and raid attacks that provides benefits based on your current faction and expansion progress.
- More solo and group content outside of basic quests specifically after max level and enhancements, including more farmable content, dungeons, rare group content and more.
- Minimum of 4 new guardian raids, looking for feedback on raid sizes and difficulty.
- New server boss.
- New gladiator.
- New augment dungeon and other rare dungeons / high end group content.
- New level 95 skills.

A new quest has been released to obtain a piece of Primeval Guardian gear. Exchange 500 Tokens with the Primeval Challenge Master in the Astral Ruins to receive this item.

The next War of Zhul nears! Scouts report a large army heading for Diamond City that will reach the gates on July 21st at 7am OW Time. Prepare for war!

The major changes for Cycle 3 include:
- Each cycle will now have 6 events (5 War of Zhul and 1 Trial of Power), with WoZ being 2 slots per event and the final ToP event being all 10 slots.
- Collecting quest requirements and rewards have been reworked, a table of these changes has been pinned in the #help-questions channel of our discord server.
- Tier 1 quest item drop rates have been lowered and RoKP / Curio drop rates have been increased.
- Gladiators now spawn once per event with reworked rewards up to rank 30.
- Replaced the Conjurer Orb with the Fearful Orb. Both Wrathful and Fearful Orbs now drop from every event at a reduced rate to compensate.
- Replaced augment drops with Seeping, Bursting and Erupting augments.
- Arkron and Zhulian v3 augments from the 100 step of collecting quests have been replaced by the Collector Augment.
- Daily raids Vezzul and Golluk have been removed, with drop rates being slightly increased to compensate.
- Each event now has 1 daily Guardian raid with reworked rewards.

- Last Stand now affects all damage instead of only base damage.
- Vanish now reduces the chance for negative skills to apply to you.
- Blind is now a self buff skill that can cause your opponent to skip a turn in PvP attacks.

2 New quests have been released to obtain pieces of Primeval Guardian gear. Exchange 500 Tokens with the Primeval Challenge Master in the Astral Ruins to receive an item. More Primeval Guardian gear will be released weekly from the 26th of May.

We have also reduced the cost of some older content. These changes are:

Blazing - reduced to 375 tokens (was 625).
Ghostly - reduced to 250 tokens (was 440).
Exalted - reduced to 100 tokens (was 165).
Perfection - reduced to 100 tokens (was 165).
Noble - reduced to 75 tokens (was 125).
Spiral - reduced to 65 tokens (was 90).

We have made various changes centered around topics discussed in our discord server. While some rewards are being removed now, as discussed new sources will be added to upcoming events.

- Ancestral Tomb drop rates from Zyrak have been doubled.
- Ghostly Stalker gear and Cosmic Motes have been added to Zyrak.
- Exalted Perfection and Thunder Ball rewards have been moved from Zyrak to Blackhand.
- Blackhand Reborn gear has been removed from Blackhand.
- Star Power rewards have been removed from the Friable Guitar and Destructible Drums mobs as well as the Please Save Him quest.
- Remove Augment rewards and Quest Shard requirements have been removed from the Scouring the Forest and Extinguish The Flame quests.
- Add Augment reward has been removed from the Please Save Him quest.

As a reminder to all players, the use of automated software to bypass captchas is forbidden on Outwar. In the past we have been lenient to people caught cheating via ARJ use or other forms of glitches, however we will no longer be handing out short suspensions to anybody gaining an unfair advantage through ARJ use or glitches for other content. If you or somebody you know is using something against the rules to gain an advantage, it is your responsibility to inform us. Today we have also made changes to god raids to prohibit the use of preloaded captchas before god raids spawn.

We are looking for feedback on various skills and have added a temporary skill-discussion channel to our discord server. To start we will focus mainly on Class and Ferocity skills to ensure they are ready as early as possible before Cycle 3 events start. Our goal with most of these changes is to not suddenly make skills significantly more powerful, but more to help scale skills better for high end characters and rework skills with unwanted functions. We plan to update more skills than the ones mentioned here and ask for feedback on all skills, but the main areas we are currently looking for feedback and new ideas on are:

#1 - Stat based skills (Empower etc) - Our current leading ideas are to change these to % based so they affect higher geared characters more (which has downsides for low level characters) or change how much stats they give based on character power (50k gives 2x, 100k gives 3x etc.).

#2 - Teleport - Looking for new ideas.

#3 - Bloodlust - Looking for new ideas.

#4 - Blind - Looking for new ideas.

#5 - Vanish - Looking for new ideas.

Following on from our recent news post which elaborated on the event system, we would like to share more information on potential changes for Cycle 3. The majority of these changes are still in draft phase and are not final. Each topic will be titled with a number to make it easier for players to refer to a specific topic when discussing them in the temporary event-topic channels added to our discord server. We ask that players please treat these channels as serious discussion channels.

The event-topics-1-6 channel has a table pinned which shows the amount of items obtained and their sources during the previous Cycle 2 event, along with an estimate of how changes from topics 1-6 will affect Cycle 3. There is also a list pinned of the proposed Collecting quest changes.

#1 - Extending Cycles to 6 Events
The first planned change is adding a 6th event at the end of each cycle which provides all 10 slots of gear. The plan for this would be to use the War of Zhul for events 1-5 which provide 2 slots per event, then the Trial of Power being the 6th event each cycle where all 10 slots will be available. This change would improve the longevity of event gear / challenge gear by slowing the cycle pace down and create a way for players to obtain slots they may have missed out on or need more of. As both events are nearly identical in reality, the only major rewards change required would be finding a balanced solution to integrate both WoZ and ToP orb drops to the same event. Our planned change for this would be adding both Wrathful and Conjurer orbs (or a new, more powerful but rarer orb than Conjurers) to every event at a 50% reduced rate, resulting in the same amount of orbs being obtained over a 2 event period.

#2 - Less Tier 1 Gear & More Tier 2 / 3 Gear
An area brought up often is shifting the focus away from V1 gear and moving toward V2 / V3 gear. Our proposed change is to decrease the total v1 goal to 8000 (from 12000), then raise the v2 goal to 2600 (from 2000) and the v3 goal to 600 (from 500).

#3 - Collection Quest Requirement Changes
For the recent Trial of Power, 2611 curios were obtained overall for the event. Of that 2611, 1250 were obtained from the collecting quest with 946 coming from the 300-350 Insignia steps alone. As previously discussed, this large amount impacts the overall v2 item goal and causes curio drop rates to remain low, even lower over time if left unchanged. Our proposed change is a rework of the Collecting quest requirements and rewards, shifting their focus further into the quest and allowing drop rates to be significantly increased to compensate. We have no immediate plans to change the 500 Wand / Spear step as only 117 characters completed this last event, however this is expected to rise over time and will eventually require similar changes over the next 1-2 cycles.

#4 - Collection Quest Reward Changes & Old Quest Rewards Added
Recently there has been a large increase in mass character creation (hundreds of thousands) to obtain items from old quests such as the Add Augment Slot, Remove Augment and Star Power. This has been causing a serious problem with server load as many old zones were never changed with the 10x rage update plus there is no limit on how many accounts people create to farm these items. We have also heard feedback from players who dislike the method to obtain these items. Our planned change for this is to add these items to the earlier steps of the Collecting quest during major events. This would remove the ability of infinite created RGAs to obtain these items and would act as a repeatable source every 4 months.

#5 - Gladiator Rewards
Another area we are aware of being underwhelming is event gladiator rewards. Our proposed change for this involves having only 1 gladiator spawn per event and increasing the rewards. Our new per event reward system from gladiators would extend placings from 20 to 30, increase Curio / RoKP from 68 to 100 and wand/spear from 12 to 20.

#6 - Raid Content
Another area we mentioned in a previous post was changing up the reward system regarding event daily raids and guardian raids. As we mentioned, daily raids (Vezzul and Golluk) have become a hard to monitor area and unchanged would cause problems with a playstyle of spreading characters out to increase kill numbers, which is not how this system was intended. Our planned change for this is to remove both daily raids for now and increase mob drop rates slightly to account for the items no longer being obtained from these raids. Even though this will have a minimal effect now, left unchanged this would cause much larger problems in the future. Different versions of this may however be an area we revisit. As for guardian raids, we currently don't have a set plan for rewards outside of potentially changing it to 1 guardian per event with a daily spawn and increased rewards, however we would like feedback on this and what items you would like to see added / increased from this area.

#7 - Cycle 3 Mob Power Changes
As trainers have now been updated, we would like feedback on their power level over the coming months as we make changes to skills and likely more changes to trainers to compensate. The recent test item data collection has also helped us better understand the split between each mob tier killed during events. Currently it is estimated around 4% of event drops come from Tier 1 mobs, 76% from Tier 2 mobs and 20% from Tier 3 mobs, although without a full event duration test, true figures will be slightly different. The biggest piece of information learned from this is how little effect Tier 1 mobs have and how easily Tier 2 mobs are being defeated. Although it will be mostly unknown until more data is collected once cycle 3 starts, with changes to mob power for cycle 3 we expect the Tier 1 factor to slightly rise due to more characters falling short of beating Tier 2 mobs and Tier 1 still being relatively easy for mass characters to defeat. One area of discussion from players has been the removal of Tier 1 mobs and increasing the droprates of Tier 2&3 mobs to compensate. This however may only result in as little as a 5% overall increase to drop rates, which is something we would like to hear more feedback on to judge if players feel this change would be worth it.

#8 - Ring of Wonders
No single item has a greater overall effect on character power than the Ring of Wonders, an item that can be obtained very easily to the point over 100,000 currently exist. Reducing the resist on this ring to a more reasonable level would slow down the power of mass created characters and put a greater emphasis on more recent gear including V1 rings from events. This in turn may have a small but positive effect on event drop rates. We would like to hear feedback on if you think this should or should not be changed, and if so by how much.

#9 - Trade Gear Sets
Another area we have been monitoring is the use of trade sets during events (Chancellor, Dragon and Blackhand; we have no intention of changing Badges), as well as feedback surrounding their use. This is not an area we are looking at taking action on before hearing more player feedback. For now we are only focused on their use during events as their total use outside of events has a smaller overall impact, however we are aware changes will eventually have to be made outside of events as well. As more sets are created, their overall effect will have a much larger impact to the game and their current level of use will not be viable to the long-term future of Outwar. When we first introduced equip limits we worked with players to find the correct balance between their use while not completely removing their effect immediately. We have since heard feedback from many players about their dislike of the use and effect of these sets during events. Reducing their effect during events would have a positive impact on drop rates and reductions between events. An issue with changing these sets currently is the lack of data on what their true effect is, which makes it hard to gather accurate feedback and also makes drop rate changes harder to predict. This creates 2 paths, we can estimate and make immediate changes, or attempt to collect data for more accurate changes at a later date, however both paths will still likely result in day 2-3 drop rate changes to balance correctly during the first event they are changed. As for how their use may be reduced for the long term as thousands more of the sets would potentially exist, there are some options which we have collected feedback on and brainstormed which we would like to hear further feedback on especially from players in possession of these sets:

1) Equip limits reduced to 1 during events, unchanged outside of events. Remove sets from boss loot and leave existing sets unchanged outside of events. Replace boss loot with stronger items to compensate.
2) Equip limits reduced to 1 at all times and increase power of items to compensate (likely only Blackhand).
3) Equip limits gradually reduced to 1 at all times over the span of 1-2 Cycles.
4) Equip limits of Chancellor and Dragon reduced to 1, Blackhand 3-5 at all times.

The power level of Event Trainer mobs in the Farmers Market have been updated. These changes are only being treated as an early draft and are likely to be subject to change due to player feedback and possible power level changes with upcoming skill updates and other changes. We wanted to update these trainers as soon as possible as a rough baseline before releasing a large Cycle 3 information post in the near future.

Lvl 90: Dregar in the Death Dimension is offering a new quest called Familiar Foes.

All tradeable event item drop rates have been increased by 10%.

In the coming days there will be a 24 hour period where test items will be added to event mob loot as we collect data before Cycle 3. These items will help us better understand the amount of each tier being killed in hopes of providing avenues to explore and discuss for Cycle 3. Any item found named "Test Item 1/2/3" will have no purpose other than data collection and can safely be ignored by players.

The Trial of Power has been initiated! Arkron, God of Trials has summoned combatants to the streets of Diamond City to participate in the trial. Prove your strength to obtain powerful items and prepare for the wars to come! Speak to the Trial Overseer to begin the trial!

The minions Arkron has summoned are fused with each of the elemental powers and will drop items associated with that element. Those with the power to do so can defeat Conjurers for 3x drop chances for all items and the strongest players can defeat Trial Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Conjurers for all items excluding Trial Insignias. During the trial, Arkrons most trusted guardians Shaik and Rook will occasionally appear. Arkron has also sent his powerful assistant Golluk, who will spawn every day.

Arkron has also recruited his very own Gladiator! Players can attack Teva, Gladiator of Power in the Gladiator Arena to attempt to be one of the top 20 damage dealers who will receive loot. Loot from Teva's chests includes Elementium Wand (top 3), Augment of the Raging Elementalist (top 5), Elementium Curio (top 10) and Recharge the Fury (top 20).

Players can only participate with 1 character per server in the Trial Insignia Contest. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA (winning server only) to receive the rewards.

The Trial of Power will end in 2 weeks, at which point Arkron himself will arrive to test your strength. For further information on these topics, see the Trial of Power Q&A on the Trial of Power page.

We would like to share some information in regards to both the current event cycle and potential changes coming for Cycle 3 in July, in hopes to produce constructive feedback in the discussion channel of our Discord server. Most or all of the changes discussed here or on discord are still subject to change. These changes will not take effect until Cycle 3 begins as we do not want to interrupt the final Cycle 2 event with short notice and we are still collecting feedback and data to more accurately make these changes. To simplify explanations we will only provide examples for Tier gear and item counts will be the total of both servers.

To start we want to give a general explanation of how events work and what our goals are for each event. Every event we have always had 2 main target number goals: item drops from mobs and total items gained. The mob drop goal excludes items gained from the Collecting quests and other content to ensure drop rates arent lowered depending on the amount of items gained from the quest. For fairness, changes are generally not made to drop rates for the mob drop goal mid-event unless it is very clear this number is out by over 10%. As for the second goal regarding the total number of items produced per event, this has generally been a fixed thing outside of the mob drop rates changing and not something content is adjusted for, since items gained from other sources are mostly gained with fury potions via the main quests which we feel is unfair to adjust drop rates for, plus total items from these sources have remained similar until recently, which we will discuss later.

Item number goals are necessary to provide balance in many areas including economy, power and server load. If this goal was not set and drop rates remained untouched for 15 years worth of events, as a rough estimate event gear would be 400x more common than it is now due to the overall power and rage increase on characters over time. This would equate to us now having roughly 4,800,000 Tier 1 items per event, compared to the current 12000 goal. Needless to say, aside from the cute little hamster powering the servers having long passed from a heart attack due to the rapid increase of overall rage and power, this would have severe effects on the games economy and power balance.

Now that the fundamental goals of events have been explained, we would like to share some history of goals and outcomes for events. As Outwar has evolved and other content has been limited or changed, we have been able to increase the total goals for Tier 1, 2 & 3 gear mainly in recent years. The following is a list of how the total item goals of each Tier have changed over the years.

4+ Years Ago
T1/Quest - 8000
T2 - 400
T3 - 120

Cycle 1
T1/Quest - 12000
T2 - 1600
T3 - 400

Cycle 2
T1 - 12000
T2 - 2000
T3 - 500

The following is the number of items created during the most recent 3 events. The slight increase for the last event can mostly be credited to the event duration being extended.

Cycle 2
T1 - 12811 / 12057 / 13320
T2 - 1960 / 1926 / 2091
T3 - 587 / 505 / 601

As far as target goals and how close to the goals drops have been during Cycle 2, we are satisfied with the consistency and minimal changes needed during this time compared to previous years, especially compared to events leading up to equip limit changes where drastic changes were required between events. Consistency is the most important factor in balancing these changes. What we are not completely satisfied with however is how these items are being obtained, which is the primary reason for this post. It is clear after reviewing data and feedback from players that certain areas can be improved, and we would like to work with players to make the adjustments needed to try and strike the best balance. Below we will detail each area that we would like to review and make changes to where required. With the above mentioned goals set, any area that rewards are reduced from allows us to increase rewards from other areas instead, which is the balance we are seeking to find.

Quest Rewards
By far the most obvious difference in recent events has been the amount of high end multi characters completing shard / insignia steps for tier gear quest items via the Collecting quests. Required counts for these quest steps has been something untouched for many years as it is generally aimed at high end characters using fury potions and has always remained out of reach of mass completion. With characters gaining more max rage / rage per turn over time however, this is no longer the case. Using Elementium Curio / Ring of Kinetic Power rewards as an example, there were 674 gained from Collecting Insignias in July, compared to 1136 gained from Collecting Shards in November. Of that 1136, 798 came from the initial 300 and 350 required steps. While some of this sudden jump can be credited to the last event being extended by 1 day, it is clear from viewing data of previous events that this will continue to increase regardless. While quest rewards play no factor in how we manage drop rates due to the separate drop rate goal, these increases will start causing problems with the total item goal. Our proposed change for this is to increase the required amount of shards / insignias for some mid range steps, while leaving higher end steps untouched as mass characters are not a factor there. With the previously mentioned goals in mind, this would then allow us to improve direct mob drop rates of any items affected by this change, providing more linear rewards between players.

Paragon Mob Power
Another area we have been monitoring is mob power, specifically for tier 3 Paragon mobs. Paragons are intended to be for top end characters without the use of trade sets. As content is released over time that allows characters to grow in power, the ability of trade set characters becomes strong enough to break this barrier. While mob power is increased when Cycle 3 begins, the increase for Paragon mobs may need to be slightly more than usual this time. With the item goals in mind, any negative effect this has on overall drops allows us to increase overall drop rates. We are still mindful to find the right balance for this and will use the trainer mobs after Cycle 2 has finished to gather feedback from players.

Raids
One area that has become more difficult for us to monitor is the daily raids Golluk and Vezzul. As the power of these mobs has remained unchanged for many years, this is causing a playstyle among some players to spread out characters between as many crews as possible. Due to this, drop rates from these 2 raids are quite rare and not what the system was intended for when these raids were first released aimed at the top few crews. The power of these raids is not something we can balance as easily as mobs due to it being a crew based system. Our proposed change to this is to remove these 2 raids and add the drops they would usually produce per event to other content including mobs, gods or the server boss. The leading plan currently is to revamp event god raids, improving their drops and power requirement, which would then create a system that acts similar to the original design of the daily raids.

We would like to hear your thoughts on these topics and other ideas you may have to improve the experience during events in the discussion channel of our Discord server. We are aware changes will affect each player differently and there is no such thing as a balance that is best for everyone, however our aim with events is always to strike the best balance we can find between players.

Lvl 85+: Cirrone the Diviner in the Astral Ruins is now offering quests to obtain the Cosmic Diviner Set. Players can exchange a Cosmic Mote for a Cosmic Diviner piece of their choice.

We have also reduced the cost of some older sets. The changes are as follows:

Veldar Ranger - 48% price reduction.
Thunder Mage - 40% price reduction.
Profound - 37% price reduction.
8-Bit - 44% price reduction.
Platinum - 25% price reduction.
Astral - 40% price reduction.
Gold - 25% price reduction.
Alsayic - 27% price reduction.
Metallurgy - 20% price reduction.
Scallywag - 20% price reduction.

We would like to share some information on content being worked on for 2023, including early draft concepts for the next expansion.

Gear
On the 20th of January we will be releasing a new set-bonus set for characters level 85+. Methods to obtain this set will follow the same format as the Veldar Ranger set, being purchasable with no-trade points. While the set-bonus will be more powerful than the Veldar Ranger set, Ancestral set-bonuses will remain the strongest. We then plan to release the next Best in Slot Challenge gear with a reduced price in May, following the completion of Event Cycle 2. Event Cycle 3 will then start with the War of Zhul in July, where gear and mob power will be increased.

Skill Update
This year we plan to rework some skills, as over time some skills have become underwhelming. We are however mindful to not create a sudden power jump or an imbalance with lower level characters, so to start we will likely keep our focus on reworking just the skills in most need of an update. We would like to hear feedback on what skills you would like to see changed and how.

Level 95 Expansion
Early work has begun on the next level expansion, due to be released later this year. With this expansion we plan to introduce new systems aimed at interactivity and player choice, including choosing one of three factions to join. Joining a faction will provide access to content and bonuses only available to that faction, as well as potential situations for raid content where multiple factions are required. Our aim with this is to create a variety of power and playstyle for endgame characters. Plans for this are still in the early draft phase, so we would like to hear your thoughts on what you would like to see introduced with this expansion.

Wave 6 of Illusionist appearances has been released. This wave includes:
- Illusionist Regalia 19-21.
- Illusionist Special 61-70.
- Illusionist Retro 142-165.

The annual Outwar Christmas Event draws ever so closer. The event will run for 3 days, starting on the 16th of December at 7am. During this time players can obtain candy canes and present them to Saint Nick for rewards including experience, potions and other treasury items. During the event we will be doing regular discord giveaways, so be sure to join our discord server and keep an eye on the giveaways channel!

The War of Zhul has begun! Zathur, Master of Doom has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The 3 Zhulian Guardians have once again appeared to protect their new master. These Guardians have a chance to drop items including Potions, Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more. Vezzul has also returned. Crews can attack this raid every 24 hours for a chance at rare items.

Welx, Gladiator of Zhul is once again available to attack. Welx will remain active for 4 days before retreating for 4 days. Rewards for the top 20 damage dealers include Efflorescent Spear (top 3), Augment of the Berserk Warbeast (top 5), Ring of Kinetic Power (top 10) and Recharge the Fury (top 20).

- Illusionist Special 51-60.

Guardian Raid Rework
We have now completed a large rework to many point-dropping Guardian raids, focused on improving interactivity and point rewards. All point-dropping Guardian raids released before Veldara plus Dexor and Thanox have had their respawn times reduced, along with their point rewards and loot chances to compensate. On top of this, we have reworked the amount of points and amulets each of these gods award to achieve a slightly more linear reward system. To improve rewards after making these changes, we have then increased the point rewards of all point-dropping Guardians by 25% and added the new Nexus Cores listed below. A full breakdown of the new respawn times and more can be found in the help-questions channel of our Discord server.

Nexus Cores
During the war in the Astral World, many rare and powerful artifacts were stolen and crossed the tears between dimensions. As they dispersed, the most powerful Guardians were lured by their power and they took them for themselves. It lies with you now to find these powerful Cores and claim their power as your own. This update brings seven new high stat Cores to the game, including a new Epic Core. The breakdown of how each Core can be obtained is as follows:

Tier 1 - Nexus of Conform. This Core can be found from Jorun, Volgan, Tarkin, Sarcrina, Zikkir, Keeper of Nature, Yirkon, Amalgamated Apparition, Nayark and Akkel.

Tier 2 - Nexus of Fortitude. This Core can be found from Sylvanna, Gorganus, Ormsul, Anvilfist, Lacuste, Q-SEC Commander, Kretok, Felroc, Karvaz, Raiyar, Bolkor, Xynak, Crolvak and Esquin.

Tier 3 - Nexus of Torture. This Core can be found from Nafir, Skarthul, Straya, Dlanod, Viserion, Balerion, Dexor, Rillax, Villax, Envar, Banok and Rezun.

Tier 4 - Nexus of Divinity / Vitality / Destruction. These 3 Cores can all be found from Gregov, Murfax, Thanox, Holgor, Arcon, Firan, Kinark, Shayar, Agnar and Valzek. These gods also have a chance to drop a Nexus Trigon, which level 90 players can exchange with the Nexus Guardian in the Astral Ruins for any Tier 4 Core.

Epic - Skull of the Soul Slayer. Level 90 players can now begin the Skull of the Soul Slayer quest from the Nexus Guardian in the Astral Ruins. This quest involves locating 10 rare Soul Fractures to repair the skull, which can drop from all 46 point-dropping Guardian raids.

We plan to slowly integrate high stat cores to general content in a limited capacity over the coming years, including with the next Challenge gear released after Cycle 2.

The major changes for this event include:
- Updated the Collecting Insignias quest with a similar format to the War of Zhul.
- Removed Globe and Metronome requirements from Tier 2 gear quests.
- Doubled the Globe and Metronome drop chances from Golluk.
- Changed the Trial of Crusaders quest to the Trial of Power quest which now requires to show 5 insignias for the same exp reward.

The minions Arkron has summoned are fused with each of the elemental powers and will drop items associated with that element. Those with the power to do so can defeat Conjurers for 3x drop chances for all items and the strongest players can defeat Trial Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Conjurers for all items excluding Trial Insignias. During the trial, Arkrons most trusted guardians Shaik and Rook will occasionally appear. Arkron has also sent his powerful assistant Golluk, who will spawn every day.

Arkron has also recruited his very own Gladiator! Players can attack Teva, Gladiator of Power in the Gladiator Arena to attempt to be one of the top 20 damage dealers who will receive loot. Loot from Teva's chests includes Elementium Wand (top 3), Augment of the Raging Elementalist (top 5), Elementium Curio (top 10) and Recharge the Fury (top 20).

Players can only participate with 1 character per server in the Trial Insignia Contest. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA (winning server only) to receive the rewards.

The Trial of Power will end in 2 weeks, at which point Arkron himself will arrive to test your strength. For further information on these topics, see the Trial of Power Q&A on the Trial of Power page.

- Point rewards from Banok have been doubled and point rewards from Rezun have been tripled.
- Added 500 Personal Hitlist Lines to the Treasury.
- Added the Crew Trade icon to mobile.
- Replaced Rage Potions in the Treasury with Rage Tonics which have no skill expiration delay (similar to Fury Potions).
- The Cap Status page can now be viewed via trustee.
- Fixed an issue causing slow loading times during the Veiled Locker quest due to the zone having no entrance.

As we have mentioned, we are currently working on a large rework to a number of point-dropping Guardian raids, along with adding new high stat Cores to accompany the update. We plan to release this update on August 5th, following the Trial of Power. This update will bring a reduction to respawn times and points/loot to compensate, for all pre-Veldara point gods plus Dexor and Thanox. We will also rebalance the amount of points and amulets these gods drop to create a more linear experience. On top of these changes, we then plan to increase overall point rewards by 25%, along with adding 7 new Cores which can be obtained only from point gods, including a new Epic Core. More information on these will be given on release day.

This year we also plan to introduce a new event to permanently replace the Halloween event. With Outwar's Anniversary falling on the exact day of Halloween every year, we think it's time to start celebrating both events at once! More information will be given on this closer to October 31st.

As for gear content, we remain on plan for Cycle 3 to start from the War of Zhul in July 2023, with new Best in Slot gear challenges released in May 2023. We also plan to release a new set-bonus set early in 2023.

As always we continue to work on general updates primarily provided by the feedback channel of our discord server. Please keep your suggestions coming as they help more than anything to improve the Outwar experience for all players.

- After choosing a mass-select option in the backpack, double clicking an item now selects all of the same item.
- The Crew Cap Status has been removed.

- 5x Elemental Mastery drop rates increased by 30%.

The Ethereal Souls of many guardians of Diamond City have recently been extracted and can now be purchased and traded on the open market!

In addition to owning the soul as part of your collection, the player that owns the Ethereal Soul of a guardian will receive bonus points any time it is slain!

Head over to https://outwar.com/metamask to learn more about how to connect a Metamask wallet and view the available NFTs. The first round of Ethereal Souls will be listed at auction for 7 days. This is your chance to own a piece of Outwar!

FAQ:
Q: What is an Ethereal Soul?
A: It's an NFT of an Outwar guardian, the first of its kind. When the guardian is defeated, the player who holds the soul will gain points. The NFT will also appear in your profile.

Q: What is an NFT?
A: An NFT is a token stored on a blockchain (Ethereum). Only a single one of each type will ever exist.

Q: What's the advantage of owning an NFT over a regular item in Outwar?
A: An NFT can be traded on any public market for cryptocurrency. That means it can be sold at a later date if you desire (possibly for more than you paid!).

Q: Will there be more Outwar NFTs?
A: To start, we've issued tokens to represent the top 10 largest point dropping guardians in Outwar. These tokens will always be unique and no more will ever be issued. We may issue tokens for additional guardians down the road. We may also issue tokens for other parts of Outwar (such as rooms) so you can own even more.

Q: What if I hate NFTs?
A: We understand many gamers have a (justified) negative opinion on NFTs. These tokens are completely optional and holding one will not give any advantages when attacking a guardian.

Q: Can I see a list of current NFTs?
A: You can view the list on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/collection/outwar

We are currently in the early drafting stages for a large overhaul to most older Point God raids, aimed at increasing overall interactivity and rewards. To help increase God spawn activity we plan to lower the respawn time of many God raids and lower their chances for most loot and point drops by an equal amount to keep the frequency of loot similar. To improve loot rewards we then plan to increase the average points awarded from god raids by 25%, along with better balancing how many points and amulets each god drops.

Another major addition with this update will be rare and powerful Cores that can only be obtained via Point Gods, including systems similar to how Oblivion pieces were obtained in the past. These new Cores will have greatly increased stats similar to the other 9 main slots. Our initial plan when the Core slot was released was for them to be available from all types of content, with the most powerful coming from endgame sources such as raids. Cores eventually became more like other slots, being added to sets and having common sources to obtain the most powerful ones, so moving forward we would like to bring back our original vision for them. We plan to make no change to how Cores can currently be obtained from general content, but only plan to add multiple but rare Cores obtainable throughout the game from various content, essentially as a permanent Epic slot.

We would like to hear your feedback on what ideas you may have for this update in the outwar-discussion channel of our Discord server.

Server Bosses have now been overhauled. Items have been added, moved, plus many less desired items have either been removed completely or moved to Cosmos.

Server Boss health has also been increased:

Zyrak: +200% health.

The Amulet shop has also received a major overhaul. Older gear has been reduced in price and new untransferable gear has been added. The Amulet Trader in the Dusty Glass Tavern is also accepting amulets for some Treasury items. The Amulet cost for all items is as follows:

Valzek, an entity believed to have escaped the Vault of Madness, has taken form in the Death Dimension. The only being known to be powerful enough to corrupt Agnar, this 15-man raid will demand levels of strength like never before.

A 7 day respawn, Valzek can drop loot including Points, Amulets, Artifacts, Runestone of Valzek, Vortex of Death, all 10 pieces of Voidmaker gear, Vial of Insanity, Demonic Madness, Dimensional Augment, Augment of Death, Demonic Glyph and the Vault Tear.

Unire is offering the final 2 quests to obtain 3 Rune Essences. The Runestone of Valzek can be exchanged for 1 Rune Essence, also purchasable from the Treasury. The Vortex of Death awards 2 Rune Essences when exchanged. For those that have completed The Astral Betrayer, Artrax is now offering the Harbinger of Death quest.

Point rewards have now been removed from Dreg Nor, Ashnar, Nar Zhul and Windstrike. Point rewards have been reduced by 50% for Jorun, Volgan, Tarkin, Sarcrina and Zikkir.

As previously mentioned, the final god of the Astral Dimension expansion will be released this Friday. We then plan to release updates to the Amulet Shop and Server Bosses on the 29th of April. Other updates including quest item price reductions, godly rarity updates and gladiator updates will be released in May.

The War of Zhul has begun! Dorgeth, Spawn of War has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

The major changes this event include:
- Cycle 2 changes including removal of the Mark of Zhul and the Zhulian Invasion quest.
- Increased rewards from the Collecting Shards quest and lowered the requirement of the final step to 2000.
- Strife and Bloodshed augments have been replaced with Calm and Berserk Warbeast augments.

- Added Vault Tears in place of 8-Bit Bananas as a contest reward choice.

Those with the power to do so can defeat Horrific mobs for 3x drop chances for all items. The strongest players can defeat Zhulian Paragons for 3x the drop chances of Horrific mobs for all items excluding Summoning Shards.

The 3 Zhulian Guardians have once again appeared to protect their new master.

The war will end in 2 weeks, at which point the server boss will appear. For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

The Vault of Madness is now open! Level 85+ characters can head to the vault through the new portal opened up in the Astral Ruins or the Death Dimension. Powerful demons have escaped the vault and have taken refuge in the Astral Rift, making now the safest time to explore the vault. The vault is split into 3 separate wings: the Vault of Lunacy, Vault of Insanity and Vault of Madness. Quests to begin each 3-man dungeon can be started from the Warden of Madness after providing him with a Vault Tear from the Treasury or god raids. Please note: Support will not refund Vault Tears for choosing a dungeon you can not complete due to character power, so choose your path wisely. If you are unable to complete a dungeon with a group, each quest can be manually reset by players via the quest log.

Dungeon Basics
Each wing has a similar quest requiring 3 raid boss kills that can drop up to 2 rare quest items (Soul of Madness and Deathstones), collecting a Brand specific to each wing which can be pre-collected from Disciples outside of the dungeon or during the dungeon run, plus 10 Spawn of Madness mob kills which have a low chance to drop a Mark of Madness, the main currency reward. 1 Mark of Madness is awarded after each raid boss and extra are awarded for completing the dungeon, with more being awarded for higher difficulties. Excluding the chance to receive a mark from a Spawn of Madness which is equal for all wings, players can earn 5 marks from the Path of Lunacy, 6 marks from the Path of Insanity and 7 marks from the Path of Madness. Players can also exchange up to 3 Chaotic Orbs per character with Bexar to receive 40 Marks of Madness per Orb. Each wing and boss scale up in power as follows:
Lorac (Lunacy)
Larfaw (Lunacy): +10% Health
Lursal (Lunacy): +10% Health
Iraen (Insanity): +30% Health
Illork (Insanity): +10% Health
Ivokar (Insanity): +10% Health
Molfor (Madness): +30% Health
Mornar (Madness): +10% Health
Mazar (Madness): +10% Health

Rewards
All gear and quest item rewards associated with the Vault can be found on the Dungeons page. Major quest item rewards obtained from the Dungeon and Gods include:
- Mark of Madness: Awarded from quest steps after defeating raid bosses, this playerbound currency can be used to purchase items including Orb Upgrades, Rune Essence quest items, an Augment and Keys to access a new area to obtain rare Potions.
- Deathstones: Raids in each of the 3 wings can drop a playerbound Deathstone only obtainable from that wing, with easier wings having a higher drop chance. These can be used to exchange for 1 Orb upgrade and 1 Augment per Deathstone.
- Soul of Madness: All 9 raid bosses can drop this tradeable item, however harder wings have a higher drop chance. This is used only to exchange for Orb upgrades.
- Demonic Glyph: Obtained from Agnar and the final God raid released in April, this tradeable item is used only to exchange for Orb upgrades.

The feature reward of this dungeon is the Demonic Orbs, each requiring 4 Bindings of Death to upgrade, meaning a total of 12 bindings will be required to obtain all 3 Demonic Orbs. Bindings can be exchanged to upgrade Orbs in any order with the Orb Diviner. Methods to obtain all 12 bindings are listed below:
- Binding 1, 2 & 3: Exchange 100 Marks of Madness with the Merchant of Madness.
- Binding 4, 5 & 6: Exchange a Deathstone of Lunacy, Deathstone of Insanity and Deathstone of Madness with the Deathstone Seeker.
- Binding 7, 8 & 9: Exchange a Soul of Madness with the Vault Collector.

Players may exchange unwanted Deathstones and Marks of Madness for the Vial of Insanity and Demonic Madness from the Vault Scrapbot. 3 Rune Essence quests have also been added to Unire to exchange the above mentioned Essences for 1 Rune Essence each.

The Veiled Passage
Once players have purchased the Veiled Teleporter, it can be used to reach the Veiled Passage to attack the Veiled Guard every 3 days for a low chance to receive 2 new potions. Players who have purchased the Veiled Idol can access a second room to also attack the Veiled Keeper every 3 days for a higher chance to obtain both potions. The Veiled Keeper also has a chance to drop a Veiled Key which can be exchanged with the Vault Scrapbot to spawn the 3-man raid Veiled Locker in the same room as the Veiled Keeper for the highest chance to receive both potions.

New Gods
Three new daily god raids have appeared in the Astral Rift. Envar, Banok and Rezun have escaped the Vault of Madness and must be stopped before they reach Diamond City. These gods can drop Points, Amulets, Artifacts, Vile of Insanity, 1 Gear piece per raid and Vault Tears. God slayer quests have also been added to the Dimension Slayer. Agnar can now also drop Vault Tears, Vial of Insanity, Demonic Madness and the Demonic Glyph.

Today we have released a range of unique Illusion appearances in the first of many waves to come. The first wave brings double the amount of sets and special items of future waves, with each wave adding sets, special themed items and retro remakes.

- Illusionist Regalia 1-6 (full sets).
- Illusionist Special 1-20 (special themed items and retro item remakes).
- Illusionist Retro 1-42 (retro items with matching theme, theme for each wave will change).

We would like to share another brief update on other changes we are working on over the coming months, primarily to give an advanced warning on content that may receive price reductions. These changes include:

- Removing the Mob and Rare Daily Quests and adding more Amulet rewards to God raids.
- Adding new Amulet Shop items including 10 pieces of gear below Duelist power, a Core and Neck below Mercenary power, Experience Lock, Quest Shard, Standard Issue Neuralyzer, Character Class and Name Changes.
- Lowering the rarity of some Godly quality items.
- Price reductions for some items such as Archfiend Soul Fragment, Vanishas Fragrance and Drolba Tonic.
- Increasing chest placings for the Zerx and Vork Gladiators beyond the top 30.

We would like to share some information on updates being worked on over the coming months including the new dungeon, god raids and more.

Illusion Appearances
On the 18th of February we will be releasing a wide range of Illusion appearances, including themed sets and retro themed gear. This will be the first wave of many for these releases, so please let us know what kind of appearances you would like to see!

New Dungeon
On the 25th of February a new 3-man level 85 dungeon will be released. Rewards from this dungeon will include:
- 3 Powerful Orbs, each with 4 total stages of power.
- 3 Rune Essences.
- 4 Powerful one-time completion Augments.
- 2 Keys to access special rooms to obtain 2 new powerful potions.

Important information about this dungeon includes:
- Players have the option to exchange 3 Chaotic Orbs per character for the new vendor currency.
- Dungeon can be accessed from the Astral Ruins and Death Dimension, meaning only level 85 and the Astral Teleporter will be required to participate.
- Dungeon is split into 3 wings with 3 raid bosses per wing. Most rewards are obtainable from every wing, however some rewards are wing specific.
- Each wing scales up in power, allowing players to choose their difficulty.
- The only quest item requirement per wing can be pre-farmed outside of the dungeon, allowing players to remain raid skilled if prepared.
- 10 Mob kills will also be required per quest which have a low chance to drop the main vendor currency reward.
- Keys will be a common drop from Agnar and the 4 new gods outlined below.

New God Raids
On release of the new dungeon, 3 new daily god raids will be added to the Astral Rift. These gods can drop points, amulets, artifacts, a new potion and the key for the new dungeon. On the 15th of April the final Astral Dimension god will be released which can drop points, amulets, artifacts, rune quest items, all 10 pieces of voidmaker gear, 2 potions, 2 augments and the new dungeon key.

Due to the short time between these releases, we will not deduct any points from old god raids until the final god is released in April. Points will then be removed from Dreg Nor, Ashnar, Nar Zhul, Windstrike, along with a 50% reduction from the 5 easy Astral Rift gods. Now that points will be removed from all original god content, starting with the easy Astral Rift gods and moving forward we plan to reduce points from old gods instead of removing completely when new gods are released for the foreseeable future.

Amulet Shop Updates
At the end of April we will be releasing an update to the Amulet Shop including reducing prices of current gear, along with adding new items and gear to the shop. We currently plan to add an item for each slot, along with 2 higher powered items.

We would like to share an update on our plans for Outwar over the coming months. Our recent focus has been on Astral Dimension content and Events including the start of Cycle 2. With the busy event period nearly complete, we begin focusing on other content such as level 90 enhancements, quality of life updates and more Astral Dimension content which will be outlined below.

Intensifiers & Questing
Following the Trial of Power we will be releasing 10 level 90 experience enhancements called Intensifiers. 9 of these upgrades will require lower level versions to be completed first, with the final one being a unique ability with no prerequisite. Following this update we plan to begin level 90 quest launches at the end of the year, starting with a large collection quest and a smaller quest every fortnight thereafter.

General Updates
We will soon begin work on another wave of general updates to the game, with the first of these updates planned for the start of the new year. One of our main current focuses is improvements requested in the suggestions channel of our discord server, so we encourage players to share their legitimate suggestions there as we work through them. We plan to add many updates and changes to the game fortnightly after the new year including:
- Item rarity reductions for some Brutal and King items.
- Playerbound Badge price reductions.
- Illusion price reductions.
- King of the Week buffs.
- Many general QoL updates, keep the suggestions coming!

New Dungeon
Work will soon begin on a new 3-man level 85 Dungeon, due to be released next year. This dungeon is still in the early draft process, however we would like to let players know what we currently have planned to allow time for feedback on what you would like to see.

- Dungeon will be split into 3 wings. Each wing scales up in power allowing players to determine their risk for reward, however some rewards will be wing specific.
- The rewards planned include multiple levels of Orbs including Epic Orbs, Rune Essences, Potions and 1-time completion Augments.
- Rare key reward to access a repeatable solo mob (outside of dungeon) to obtain new tradeable potions. - The dungeon will have an entrance in the Astral Ruins, meaning no keys other than the Astral Teleporter are required to enter.
- Our planning for this dungeon included a form of repeatable content to obtain keys over time alternatively to purchasing from the treasury. With the recent removal of points from a number of old god raids, along with feedback revolving around adding back more god spawns, we have decided the best way to do this is with 3 new daily god raids added to the Astral Rift, meaning we will be releasing a minimum of 4 new God raids next year.

The Outwar 20th Anniversary Event has begun!

The major changes this event include:

We would like to update players on our content plans for the remainder of 2021 and beyond. Our recent focus has been on quality of life changes with the new design, PvP content and changes to lower the effect of mass low powered multi characters. With most of these changes complete, we now shift our focus back to endgame content including the next level expansion, god raids, event changes and more. Below is a breakdown of the additions and changes coming to Outwar.

Event Cycles and BiS Gear
The upcoming War of Zhul will bring an end to the first cycle of events under the new 5 event cycle format. The only major change we are planning to add to this event to carry over into Cycle 2 is the addition of a new Tier 3 mob with higher drop rates aimed at endgame characters. The goal of this addition is to slightly improve the value of having a main / endgame powered character while still keeping weaker multi characters valuable, as currently endgame geared characters make up for only 10% or less of overall drops per event. Once the War of Zhul is complete, we then move into Cycle 2, including the release of the next Best in Slot gear in September. This gear will be obtained and released in a similar way to Ghostly Stalker gear, with a slightly reduced price and weekly releases instead of fortnightly. The power of mobs and gear obtained during events will then increase starting with the Trial of Power in November.

The focus of the majority of event changes for Cycle 2 is quality of life improvements. Starting with the Trial of Power in November, the Preserved Aegis and Mark of Zhul will be removed, with the equivalent amount of event quest items added as a requirement to craft gear instead. We will also be removing the requirement to exchange a lower tier piece of gear when upgrading to higher tiers, once again by adding the equivalent quest item requirements to the tier gear quests instead. Another change will be the removal of The Trial of Power and Zhulian Invasion quests to obtain a piece of playerbound gear. Instead, drop rates will be increased for event quest items to enable more crafting of Tier 1 items. Through Outwar's history, generally around 1000-1500 of each Tier 1 item is crafted per event, however with recent multi limitation changes and the removal of the main quest item from events, we will now be aiming for around 3000 of each Tier 1 item per event.

This year also marks Outwar's 20th Anniversary on the 31st of October! To celebrate this, we will be hosting a week long event on the 31st of October where players can participate in a power scaling quest, a new God raid, discord giveaways and benefit from bundle packs only available during this event. To avoid an overlap of events, the Halloween event is now planned to begin on the 28th of October.

Level 90 Expansion
Work is currently underway on Outwar's next major expansion, The Astral Dimension. This expansion will raise the level cap to 90, add a minimum of 9 new God raids, new Runes, new Enhancements and changes to improve the overall endgame experience. Our current goal is to launch the expansion as early as August, with enough quest content to reach level 90 available on launch day. With this expansion we plan to increase quest experience rewards to reduce the overall rage required for levels and enhancements by over 50%. The goal of this is to reduce the time players need to spend grinding general quest content, allowing more time for content such as PvP and raiding. We also plan to add more endgame content as the expansion progresses, including a dungeon style raid quest.

As previously mentioned, this expansion will bring new Elemental Runes. This Rune content will follow similar formats to the Chaos Gem and Badges, with eventually 30 upgrade levels being available to increase your Rune's elemental damage. To avoid previous issues with mass characters obtaining runes, we are planning on adding 3 separate methods to obtain the initial Astral Rune instead of the Token system the old Rune content used. These methods will be a quest item from the Treasury, a discounted exchange with the Mystic Elemental Rune and drops from the first 2 God raids. All purchasable upgrades for these Runes are also skips of upgrades obtained through god raids, instead of a purchase only upgrade.

Another large change to this expansion will be an improvement to loot from God raids. We are currently planning to release 9 God raids over the duration of the expansion, with 2 lower end 24 hour raids being available on launch day and 5 endgame weekly raids being released in the following weeks. Loot from endgame gods will be significantly improved overall, with powerful augments and gear drops becoming more frequent. We plan to release 10 slots of gear slightly above Tier 3 gear from Cycle 2 events in power.

Schedule Summary
JULY - War of Zhul: Tier 3 mob with higher drop rates added.
AUGUST - Astral Dimension Expansion: Level 90, 2 Gods and new Runes. Quest exp rewards increased / total rage required for levels and enhancements reduced by over 50%.
SEPTEMBER - Best in Slot Challenges: Reduced price and weekly launches.
SEPTEMBER - 5 new God raids: More frequent and powerful gear.
OCTOBER - Halloween and 20th Anniversary events.
NOVEMBER - Cycle 2 Trial of Power: Mob power and gear power increased.

Lvl 85: Parro in the Veldara Wastes is offering a new quest called Spread of Chaos.

On Saturday morning we will be starting a mass item cleanup of old unused items. While this may take some time to complete, we do not expect any downtime interruptions during this time. Items that will be deleted will include excess / unwanted quest items, original random generated skill pants and skill orbs. For those that have yet to do so, speak with the Skill Masters and Prison Guards for information to obtain updated skill orbs, pants and crests.

As a reminder, Tokens of Resistance and the quests to exchange them will be removed on the 9th of July. Please exchange them before they are removed.

A new PvP Tournament has been released. Every fortnight level 85 players can enter and participate in the PvP Brawl for 25 points. Starting every second Monday at 8am and ending at 8pm, players can attack all other participants 10 times each at any time during the 12 hour Brawl. At the end of the Brawl the top 30 ranked players determined by win count (own attacks only) will be awarded ranked chests containing Eminent Arena Coins. These coins can be exchanged with the Eminent Mentor in the Gladiator Arena for the Augment of the Eminent Warrior or the Eminent Medal, which is used for the Epic Chest questline. While the augment is a one time completion which is playerbound and non-transferable, the medal is tradeable and the quest to obtain it is repeatable.

This update also brings the second and final stage of the Epic Chest questline. Akan, Mentor of Champions in the Gladiator Arena now offers the Might of a Champion quest, where players can exchange a Gem of Champions to craft the Warplate of the Eminent Champion.

These tokens and the quest to exchange them will be removed in 4 weeks on the 9th of July.

As a reminder, players can exchange Brutality Potions with the Guardian of Brutality for a Master Brutality Potion.

Players can now exchange original Elemental Resistance potions with the Market Trader for a Token of Resistance. On June 11th, shortly after the original potions are deleted, quests will be added to the Market Trader to exchange Tokens of Resistance for Potions of Elemental Resistance.

Arkron has also sent his powerful assistant Golluk, who will spawn every day and will not count towards the crew cap.

Arkron has also recruited his very own Gladiator! Players can attack Teva, Gladiator of Power in the Gladiator Arena to attempt to be one of the top 20 damage dealers who will receive loot.

The 2021 Superbowl Pool is now open! We are once again hosting 2 pools, one with a 50 point entry and another with a 500 point entry (5% transfer tax will apply, therefore total entry cost for the pools will be 52.5 points and 525 points). Each pool's reward will be separate, therefore every player can enter both pools as long as you choose the same team. To enter the pools, send 50 or 500 points to Slash with the team you want to win. If you are entering both pools, you can send 550 points in one transfer. If your team wins, you will get your entry fee (including tax) back and the remaining points will be split evenly between all the winners. Outwar will be adding 105 points to the small pool and 1050 points to the large pool as well! If you wish to confirm your entry was added you can message Slash on discord. All entries must be sent before the game begins.

PvP Expanders have now been added to the Treasury for those with excess experience seeking an edge for upcoming PvP content. The newly added Expanders are as follows:

PvP Damage - Increases your total damage dealt in PvP Attacks (up to 20%).
PvP Defense - Decreases your total damage taken in PvP Attacks (up to 20%).
PvP Precision - Decreases your opponent's Block in PvP Attacks (up to 25%). E.g if your opponent has 45% block and you have 25% PvP Precision, your opponents chance to block will then be 20%.

We have made some balance changes to PvP combat in preparation for more in depth PvP content in the coming months. Base damage in PvP has been significantly lowered (including GPS attacks), which will result in longer lasting PvP attacks. We have also increased the amount of EXP gained in PvP attacks, while lowering the amount stripped.

In the coming weeks we will be releasing new PvP Expanders, before releasing the first major PvP contest in February where players can earn new rewards such as a new epic chest, augment and more. We will release more details about this in the coming weeks.

Today we have increased Set Dungeon Key rewards for all server boss raids. The additions are as follows:

Completing this repeatable quest provides EXP and potions, with the Astral Guardian also having a chance to drop gear rewards.

The annual Outwar Christmas Event draws ever so closer. The event will run for 3 days, starting on the 27th of December at 8am.

Similar to gemming an item, premium points will be required to illusion a tradeable item and the higher the rarity the higher the illusion cost will be. Illusioning an item back to its original state also costs just 1 point. Price factors for illusioning are as follows:

1) Item Rarity - Higher rarity of the original item increases cost. Increasing penalties are also applied for illusioning to an item with a higher rarity.
2) Demand - Each time somebody applies an illusion to an item, the demand for that illusion increases by 10% which increases the cost to illusion to that item. The minimum demand is 100% and the demand is lowered by 5% every night.

Once you have collected 30 fragments you can have Rollez upgrade them to a Ghostly Diamond which can be turned in to the Ghostly Challenge Master in exchange for a Ghostly Stalker piece.

Crew trading is here! Similar to the player trading system, crews can now engage trades with other crews to exchange items from crew vaults. To initiate a crew trade, click the Trade link on a crew profile (next to the Treasury Items link). Once a trade has started, it can then be managed via the Crew Trade icon on the toolbar.

In order to participate in a crew trade, a crew must have a two way vault and enough vault space to receive the selected items. Only characters with the Manage Vault permission can manage crew trades.

We would like to update players on some of our content plans for the remainder of 2020. Starting with the basics, outside of major event periods we will continue to release new level 85 quests every fortnight. These quests will continue to be released until early 2021 and the current format of these quests (excluding others released inbetween) will also remain similar. We are also planning on releasing a new set in August along with price reductions for older sets and plan to follow a 2 year per release plan for new sets. We do not however plan on releasing new augments to replace the Throne of Sorcery augments until next year, at which point we will also evaluate augment transfer prices.

As we outlined in our last future plans announcement, major events will remain on a 4 month cycle with the next event being the Trial of Power on the 10th of July. This means the War of Zhul will then be held 4 months later, currently planned for the 20th of November. As always we will also be holding Halloween and Christmas events later in the year.

We are also working toward more balance changes for major events, focused on making main characters more relevant. In the upcoming Trial of Power we have further lowered the difficulty of obtaining tier 2 and tier 3 items from the collecting insignias quest. Thanks to player feedback, we are also planning much larger changes starting with the War of Zhul in November where we will be scaling up the minimum power required to defeat event mobs, which will then allow us to significantly increase the drop rates of event items. This will be a significant change, so we ask for your patience while we work on finding the correct balance for this.

Player feedback has also helped us compile another list of updates which are currently being worked on. We expect to be releasing these updates over the coming weeks, starting with crew trades. Once we have finished these projects, we plan on having a deep dive into the PvP system to once again make this method of play relevant for endgame players for reasons other than experience.

We would like to hear your feedback and ideas for any of the topics mentioned in this announcement, so we welcome any feedback left in the suggestions channel of our discord server. We hope you enjoy what's to come and we will post another update of our plans for 2021, Outwars' 20th anniversary year, at a later date.

A new challenge has been released to obtain a piece of Ghostly Stalker gear. Speak with Rollez in the Veldara Wastes to earn Ghostly Fragments. Once you have collected 30 fragments you can have Rollez upgrade them to a Ghostly Diamond which can be turned in to the Ghostly Challenge Master in exchange for a Ghostly Stalker piece. For those wanting to speed up this process, you can complete the Ghostly Diamond quest from Rollez to skip the collecting of fragments and obtain a diamond directly for 750 Tokens.

3) Elemental Barrier - Now increases Deflect if over the Elemental Block cap. The Elemental Block cap has been raised to 65% to compensate for this change.

We have made numerous changes to vendor items sold on the Treasury. Many old items have been removed to reduce clutter, some items have been moved to categories better suiting them and prices of many items have been lowered.

We have also added some new items to the treasury. The first is the Jumbo Backpack upgrade, allowing players to increase their base regular backpack size to 100 slots!

There will be a 20% treasury discount Preferred Player sale for the first 3 days of the event. The war will end in 2 weeks, at which point the server boss will appear. For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

A new server boss has been released! Players can now attack Zyrak, Vision of Madness for a range of loot including gear, a new augment, quest items, dungeon keys, potions and more.

With this update we say our farewells to the server boss Juggernaut, however the majority of Juggernauts loot has been spread out between the existing bosses. Loot inherited from Juggernaut by other bosses includes:

- Maekrix gains 5x Astral Totem / 9x Elemental Orbs / 2x Containment Orb / 2x Orb of the Scepter / 3x HK-22 / 3x Standard Issue Kevlar / 3x Tactical Pants / 2x Seals Pendant.
- Blackhand gains 8x Juggernaut Talisman / 5x Quest Shard / 3x Proof of Purity.
- Zyrak gains 10x Unstoppable Concoction / 6x Recharge Totem / 6x Recharge the Fury. Zyrak has also inherited 6x Cube of Sorcery and 3x Scroll of Sorcery from Blackhand.

Loot added to Zyrak includes Thunder Balls, Advanced Neuralyzers, 3 new gear items, Pulsating Stones and a Bottled Chaos. Zyrak also drops a number of new quest items that Ashala is interested in including Unstable Jewels which can be exchanged 3 times for Chaos Ore, Veldarablooms which can be exchanged repeatably for experience, and the Scripture of Zyrak which can be exchanged once for experience. There is also a chance for Zyrak to drop the Boon of Vision, which can be exchanged with Horan, Enchanter of Chaos for a Chaotic Inscription via the recently added Boon of Vision quest. This now means the fourth Epic helm upgrade can be obtained by collecting all 4 unique Boons.

Lastly, Zyrak has a rare chance to drop 3 new Ancestral Tombs, each containing powerful sets forged by Zyrak's unparalleled insight into history. These exceptionally rare sets can be used to empower clonable gear with the most powerful set bonuses ever known.

A new Gladiator has been added to the Gladiator Arena in Diamond City. Vork, Gladiator of Chaos has been exiled to the arena from Veldara. Vork will remain active for 4 days, during which time players can attack him to raise their damage and rank as high as possible. When the 4 day timer is up, Vork will retreat for 10 days before restarting the cycle.

Upon Vork's retreat, reward chests will be awarded to the top 30 damage dealers for that 4 day period. These chests contain a new currency called Chaotic Gladiator Marks. The higher your rank the more marks you will receive and the top 5 ranked players will also receive a Recharge the Fury. You can redeem your marks to the Veldara Treasurer for the following rewards:

- Orb Booster - used to upgrade Irthys orbs to the new Chaotic Orbs (more info below).
- Recharge the Fury.
- Potion of Enraged Alsayic.
- Halloween Potion Set - 1x Damned Holy Shot / Damned Arcane Shot / Damned Fire Shot / Damned Kinetic Shot / Damned Shadow Shot / Damned Element Shot / Snickers Bar / Starburst / M&Ms / Skittles / Kit Kat Bar / Sugar Daddy / Tootsie Pop / Bubble Gum / Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.

The Gladiator Missionary is offering 3 new quests to upgrade each orb from the Irthys Orb set. Present him with an Orb Booster and your Irthys Orb to complete this exchange.

The top 20 damage dealers for Vork will also receive a ranked specialty chest with a common chance to receive a Chaotic Gladiator Mark, an uncommon chance to receive an Unstable Mineral which can be exchanged with the Gladiator Missionary five times for Chaos Ore, a rare chance to receive a Scripture of Vork which can be exchanged once with Ashala for a high experience reward, or a very rare chance to receive one of two new quest items. The first very rare drop, the Chaotic Nucleus, increases in drop chance every five ranks you climb and can be exchanged with the Gladiator Missionary for the Chaotic Titan Augment.

The second very rare drop, the Boon of Power, can be exchanged with Horan, Enchanter of Chaos for a Chaotic Inscription via the recently added Boon of Power quest to upgrade your Epic helm. This now means the third Epic helm upgrade can be obtained by collecting all 3 unique Boons.

Lvl 82+: The next Epic questline is here! For those that have completed the Veldara Caves, Horan, Enchanter of Chaos in the Veldara Garrison is now offering the Secrets of Veldara quest, where players can discover new sources of Chaos and use them to enchant a powerful helm. This Epic questline however is different than previous ones, as players can obtain multiple items to upgrade the helm in any order they choose.

Once players have advanced through the bulk of the questline, Horan will require you to present a Chaotic Inscription along with the Helm of Enchantment provided by this quest to upgrade to the first Epic helm - the Helm of the Erratic Veldarian. Chaotic Inscriptions can be obtained by exchanging rare items called Boons via Horan's separate Boon quests. Currently there are 2 Boons available to obtain: the Boon of Nature from the treasury and the Boon of Unity from Gregov and another upcoming Guardian raid. Over the coming weeks, we will be introducing 2 new Boons, making this stage of the Epic questline have a total of 4 best in slot upgrades. As the Boon quests are separate quests from the main quest, players can exchange them for Chaotic Inscriptions in any order. There will also be a 5th and final upgrade to this helm in the level 84-85 update at a later date.

Over the coming week Outwar will be undergoing 2 more downtime periods as our host performs scheduled maintenance. Please allow up to 2 hours for each maintenance period, however the actual downtime is expected to be much less. The upcoming maintenance times and expected loss of service are as follows:

28th June @ 10pm - Torax only downtime.
1st July @ 11pm - Full game downtime.

We have also added 2 new notification Preferences. Players now have the option to disable mail notifications for completed trades and crew loot awards.

Zivien is offering 5 new quests to empower all 5 of your Transcended augments. Bring her a Bottled Chaos from the treasury or Gregov along with your Transcended augments to unleash their full potential.

The Eyes of Burn, Kix Woods, Abandoned Desert and Valley of Death rage changes are now live and the old Eyes of Burn main quests have been removed. Rage costs of mobs in these zones have been increased and quest requirements have been lowered. In addition to the 10x drop rate increase on Journal Pages because of these changes, they have also been increased a further 10x. Todd Shoe now offers the new The Eyes of Burn quest for characters level 45+ which is similar to the old main questline, but compressed into 1 main quest. A new Radiation Prototype quest is now available from Rindo Tan for those that have completed The Eyes of Burn.

Players can now sell items on the Treasury directly from their crew vault with the new Crew Treasury! Items can now be listed by a crew on the Treasury for a value of Premium Points (including playerbound items with the exception of raid bound items). The last 50 items sold will be viewable in the Crew Treasury Log along with their selling price and point incomes will also be logged in the Crew Point Deposits log.

Each crew starts with 10 Crew Treasury slots, however this can be upgraded 4 times at 10 slots per upgrade by purchasing and activating the Crew Treasury Slots Upgrade for a maximum of 50 slots. Similar to the Treasury links on the Treasury Shoutbox, adding ~CT~ to your Treasury post will now link to your crew treasury.

Extending on from our update last week, we have made more quality of life updates to the game thanks to player feedback. The updates include:

- Added a trade icon on the My Account page for pending trades.
- New icons on the My Account page are now clickable and will link to those specific pages.
- Elemental Power has been added to the My Account page.
- Gear will no longer deselect when inserting an augment on the Manage Augments page.
- Prevented some non-transferrable items from displaying on the Item Transfer page.
- Numerous other minor updates including capping the Refill Rage page at 100 points.

The level 85 expansion has arrived! This update brings a large range of content including 5 new zones, the Chaos Gem slot and Chaos damage, new raids and more. While this initial launch is primarily aimed at levelling, we have many more updates planned for the near future including a new Epic questline, Guardian raid, Gladiator, Server Boss and more. The initial 5 zones of Veldara will be the first of a 2 part major release, the second being released early next year.

*GETTING STARTED*
Veldara, once a lavish and peaceful planet, has recently experienced a catastrophic event. A new form of power that the natives call "Chaos" has swept over the planet rapidly, engulfing all living things it comes into contact with and is turning the majority of Veldara into one of the most hostile environments ever known. The source of this power must be found and destroyed, before Veldara is lost forever. Kellen has teleported from Veldara to Diamond City seeking help to defeat this evil. Once you have proven yourself to him, he will present you with the Veldara Teleporter. He awaits you in the Chuggers Palace Bar.

*LEVELLING UP*
Character experience over the amount of 2,000,000,000 has now been converted into "Enhancement Experience". Enhancement EXP will not count toward level progression, but can be used to purchase items from the treasury such as Enhancers. Once you reach Veldara, speak with Tordin to begin eliminating the threats consuming the planet. After the introductory Studying the Chaos quest, Tordin will start you on your path to cleanse the 5 new zones via the 5 main quests - Veldara Wastes, Veldara Cliffs, Veldara Arena, Veldara Woods and Veldara Caves. After completion of the Veldara Wastes, players can choose to enter any of the next 3 zones, however all 3 of these zones will need to be completed to progress to the Veldara Caves. Upon completion of the Veldara Caves, players will be rewarded with the Veldarian Augment. This augment can be empowered by presenting a Bottled Chaos from the treasury or Gregov to Zivien. Information about the new levels can be found on the EXP Chart page.

*CHAOS GEM*
Upon reaching Veldara, Tordin will introduce you to Lavana via the Studying the Chaos quest. She has found a way to confine the Chaos inside a special gem, allowing it's holder to use the Chaos to their advantage. This gem can be empowered by presenting Chaos Ore to Lavana to upgrade your gem. Players can obtain Chaos Ore from completing a large range of tasks which are listed below.

*CHAOS ORE*
(6 ORE) Tordin offers 6 quests to obtain Ore. On top of the bonus Ore awarded by Lavana in the Studying the Chaos quest, completion of the Veldara Wastes, Veldara Cliffs, Veldara Arena, Veldara Woods and Veldara Caves main quests will also award 1 Ore each.

(6 ORE) Lavana offers 5 quests to obtain Ore. For every new level you reach starting at level 81, you will unlock a new Earning the Ore quest. Earning the Ore (Level 85) will also award 2 ore.

(6 ORE) Rorvono offers 3 quests to obtain Ore. For characters level 82+, the Chaos Golem quests require you to collect rare crystals from golems that can be attacked every 2 weeks.

(10 ORE) Norin offers 10 quests to obtain Ore. The Pulsating Exchange quests require you to bring a Pulsating Stone to Norin which can be purchased on the treasury or found as a rare drop from powerful raids.

(6 ORE) Dorgon offers 3 quests to obtain Ore. After completing the Veldarian Cuisine quest, Dorgon will offer 3 Secret Recipe quests in which players must locate rare, tradeable ingredients and cook them in the cauldron to make special dishes. Players must find clues from residents of Veldara about where these ingredients can be found. The 3 recipes are as follows:
"Secret Meaty Pizza" = Cook 1x Unusual Egg / Strange Mushrooms / Perplexing Fillet.
"Secret Hearty Stew" = Cook 1x Obscure Ribs / Abnormal Heart / Mysterious Peas.
"Secret Juicy Kebab" = Cook 1x Bizarre Flank / Anomalous Steak / Peculiar Haunch.

*GUARDIANS*
This update brings 2 new Guardian raids. Dexor, Victor of Veldara is the weakest of the new gods and can drop a weapon, a rare augment, new Inhibitor quest items and more. Inhibitors can be presented to Smorkol in the Veldara Arena for experience.

While Dexor may be an easier Guardian, Gregov, Knight of the Woods is the most powerful Guardian raid released to this date. This raid can drop gear, augments, a Pulsating Stone, Bottled Chaos, a rare item for an upcoming Epic questline and more. We will be releasing a third Guardian raid in the coming weeks. To balance the addition of these new gods, point rewards have now been removed from Lord Varan, Baron Mu and Freezebreed.

*OTHER CONTENT*
Another addition with this update is a new 2 day raid, The Chaotic Elemental. As well as rewarding experience, this raid can drop Minor Chaos Philter potions, along with Arena Teleporters. These teleporters can be used to access the central pillar of the Veldara Arena, where Skor the Arena Conqueror resides. While this rare spawn can drop Minor Chaos Philters, he is also the only being on Veldara in possession of Major Chaos Philters. Accept the Minions of Skor quest from Rorvono to start this process.

Remember to stay tuned for more content in the coming weeks!

With the expansion just around the corner, we have made a few updates to the game thanks to player feedback. These changes include:

- Treasury Transaction Fee (Tax) has been reduced from 10% to 5%.
- Players can now choose what item to receive from a set when morphing.
- Potions will now stack. Potions for sale on the treasury will also separate into individual stacks.
- Added icons next to character names on the My Account page for characters with unread mail and new incoming attacks.
- The effects of set bonus decay have been reduced, meaning set bonus stat losses from missing set components will now be significantly less.
- Added an icon for attacks in raids to indicate perfect strikes.
- Added a ranking for Chaos Damage.
- Drop rates for the Spirit of Viserion and Spirit of Balerion have been doubled.

In just under 5 weeks from now on the 21st of June, we will be making major changes to the Eyes of Burn. Similar to the recent changes for the Underground Caverns and Divided Planes, all mobs in the Eyes of Burn will have their rage significantly increased and all associated quests will have their requirements significantly lowered.

Unlike other zones undergoing these changes, the Eyes of Burn will also have it's main quest replaced. A new, single main quest will be added (still starting from Todd Shoe) to fix some issues with the old questlines. This means that characters wanting to complete the current Eyes of Burn questlines (ending with Conspiracy Now) should complete them before they are removed on the 21st of June.

We have made reductions to the price of many crew upgrades. The new prices per upgrade are as follows:

Essential Power - 150 Points.
Essential Resistance - 100 Points.
Under Fire - 50 Points.

GPS - 15 Points.
Wardrums - 75 Points.

We have also significantly lowered the drop rate of components used to create the Ethereal Set.

You can now purchase Points and Tokens with Cryptocurrency! Using the link added to the "Get Points and Tokens" form, you can now purchase in-game currencies with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin.

We have also made some quality of life changes to mobs and quests in the Underground Caverns and Divided Planes. The majority of mobs in these zones have had their rage increased, however quests requiring these mobs and items they drop have had their requirements reduced. This change is aimed at reducing the time players spend attacking in these areas, which will also help with server load.

The major changes for this event include:
-Trial Insignia drop rates have been significantly reduced and requirements reduced for EXP hand-in.
-Added a 50 insignia version of the Trial Insignia EXP quest.
-Crusader health has been slightly reduced.
-Augment of the Divine Combatant drop rate from Crusaders significantly increased.

During the trial, Arkrons most trusted guardians, Shaik and Rook, will occasionally appear. Arkron has also sent his powerful assistant Golluk. This raid will spawn every day and will not count towards the crew cap, however only the most powerful of crews will be able to defeat him!

Arkron has also recruited his very own Gladiator! Players can attack Teva, Gladiator of Power in the Gladiator Arena to attempt to be one of the top 20 damage dealers who will receive loot. Loot from Teva's chests includes Elementium Wands (top 3), Augment of the Divine Combatant (top 5), Elementium Curios (top 10) and Recharge the Fury potions (top 20). Teva will spawn twice during the event.

The minions Arkron has summoned are fused with each of the elemental powers and will drop items associated with that element. The Combatants drop quest items, augments and a skill orb, however those with the power to do so can defeat the Crusaders for DOUBLE DROPS! Crusaders drop everything Combatants do except the skill orb is replaced with a more powerful version and the Crusaders can drop the Augment of the Divine Combatant. Also, while both of these minions drop the Elementium Curio, only the Crusaders can drop the Elementium Wand.

Combatants and Crusaders can also drop rare items called Auras. Each elemental type of minion will drop an Aura specific to that element and one each of these can be handed in to the Trial Merchant to receive Arkrons Collector Augment. Excess Auras can also be handed in for EXP.

During this event players can obtain Trial Insignia's from enemies, which will be the currency for the top 5 contest. Players will also have a 1 week grace period after the event to hand Insignia's in to the Trial Merchant for EXP before they are removed. Only 1 character per person is eligible to place in the top 5 for the Trial Insignia contest. This includes cross server and using other RG accounts as well. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA to receive the rewards.

For the first weekend of the event, there will be a 20% off treasury Preferred Player sale, ending on Monday morning at 9AM!

The Trial of Power will end in 2 weeks, at which point Arkron himself will arrive to test your strength. For further information on these topics, see the Trial of Power Q&A on the Trial of Power page.

We have reduced the transfer price for a number of augments. The new prices are as follows:

We have also made 3 guardian augments transferable:
Augment of Dread - 100 points
Augment of the Necrodragon - 100 points
Augment of the Undead Custodian - 25 points

A new trader has arrived in the Astral Rift for those wanting to make use of their excess Elemental Fusers. The Fuser Collector offers 4 quests to exchange fusers for old potions. Players can also still exchange tokens with the Elemental Overlord to obtain these potions at a much easier and cheaper rate than their original methods. The 4 potions obtainable are:
Marsh Water - 3 Fusers.
Evil Scream - 3 Fusers.
Holy Vile - 9 Fusers.
Rampage Vile - 9 Fusers.

We have also updated the Easy Way Out method to obtain the Scallywag weapon and chest provided by Tracy McScurvy. This quest will now award both the Buccaneers Slop Coat and One Eyes Cutlass.

The warriors of the Diamond City Sanctum have found new ways to refine the elemental power of your badge. Complete specific tasks set by the warriors of the sanctum to gain Badge Reputation. This reputation can then be handed in to Wade to increase your badge rank. Wade will now offer quests to level your badge as far as level 25. All new Badge Reputation NPCs are listed below, along with quest requirement information and how much reputation you can earn from each NPC.

(18 Rep) Normok provides 2 quests to obtain reputation. Quest 1 requires you to defeat a large number of enemies held in both of Diamond City's prisons. Quest 2 requires you to find a rare item from an enemy that can be attacked once per week.

(30 Rep) Dione provides 2 quests to obtain reputation. Quest 1 requires you to collect Greater Experience Wards which can be found on the treasury. Quest 2 requires you to collect Yorrons Fragments which can also be found on the treasury.

(27 Rep) Archuv provides 3 quests to obtain reputation. Quest 1 requires you to have completed Floor 24 of the Infinite Tower (this quest will not appear until the Infinite Tower Floor 24 quest has been completed). Quest 2 requires you to have obtained all 4 of the Tier 3 Skill Crests (this quest will not remove your Skill Crests). Quest 3 requires you to collect 200 Honored Gladiator Marks (this quest will not remove your Gladiator Marks).

For those wanting to skip the process of ranking up a badge, the warriors of the sanctum have also found a way to refine the Badge of Virtuosity. Purchase an Essence of Absolution and present it to Jeya, Guardian of Absolution to receive the Badge of Absolution. The cost to purchase the Badge of Virtuosity has also been lowered by 20%.

For those who have obtained the Excelled Crest of Affliction, the Skill Master of Affliction has found a way to further empower your Skill Crest. Speak with him to begin your task which will involve extracting soul fragments from Hovok the Archfiend. Hovok will respawn every 10 days, however for those wanting to skip the long process of collecting Archfiend Soul Fragments, they can be purchased on the Treasury.

Cloning prices have been revamped. The cost of cloning an item will now solely depend on the rarity of the item you are cloning and now accepts playerbound points!. The new prices per rarity are as follows:
Common - 5 points.
Uncommon - 10 points.
Rare - 15 points.
Elite - 25 points.
Godly - 50 points.
Brutal - 75 points.
King - 125 points.
Mythic - 175 points.

We have also revised the method to obtain Kix Potions. The Kix Potion Masters in the mountains of Kix Woods now have a chance to drop Kix Potions. Quest items for the old Hadley quest will drop for 1 more week and we will be leaving the quest up for 2 weeks before the quest and items are removed.

"It's Superbowl time again! This year we will be hosting 2 pools - one with a 50 point entry and another with a 500 point entry (5% transfer tax will apply, therefore total entry cost for the pools will be 52.5 points and 525 points). Each pool's reward will be seperate, therefore every player can enter both pools. To enter the pools, send 50 or 500 points to Slash with the team you want to win, like in the example below. If you are entering both pools, you can send 550 points in one transfer. If your team wins, you will get your entry fee (including tax) back and the losers points will be split evenly between all the winners. Outwar will be adding 105 points to the small pool and 1050 points to the large pool as well! If you wish to confirm your entry was added you can message Slash on discord. All entries must be sent before the game begins on the 4th of February.

A new challenge has been released to obtain an Exalted piece of Perfection gear. To obtain this gear, speak with the Exalted Forgers to earn Exalted Fragments. Once you have collected 25 fragments you can have the forgers upgrade them to an Exalted Diamond which can be turned in to the Exalted Challenge Master along with a Perfection item in exchange for an Exalted Perfection piece. For those wanting to speed up this process, you can complete the Exalted Diamond quest from the Exalted Forgers to skip the collecting of fragments and obtain a diamond directly for 625 Tokens.

NOTE: Remove augments you wish to keep from your Perfection gear before exchanging it.

The War of Zhul has begun! Xerok, Apostle of Death has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City. Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

The unsuccessful attempt to invade Diamond City by Irthys meant his minions shifted their allegiances to a new form of power, including the three Zhulian Guardians. These Guardians have a chance to drop items including Heart of Nature keys, Zhulian Power Shards, Potions, Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more. Vezzul has also returned. Crews can attack this raid every 24 hours for a chance at rare items.

The major changes this event are aimed at reducing item clutter. These changes include:
-Summoning Shards will now drop 10 times less often. Quests requiring Summoning Shards have had their requirements lowered.
-Minion Cloth, Decay Tomb, Secret Purse, Lost Feather and Kinetic Bracer drops have been removed.
-The quest for the Augment of Zhulian Warfare has been removed and the augment has been replaced by the Augment of Zhulian Bloodshed. This augment can drop from the Zhulian Succubus and Vezzul.
-A new gladiator has been added to the event. Similar to the Trial of Power gladiator, Welx will remain active for 4 days before retreating for 4 days.

Brutus is once again offering the Augments of Zhul quest. This quest presents war participants with the opportunity to obtain 1 of 3 tiers of augment, depending on the amount of summoning shards collected. This quest will not remove your summoning shards.

The Efflorescent Spear, found on the Zhulian Succubus, can be used to upgrade your Tier 2 items to a Tier 3 version. Speak with Brutus to initiate this trade.

Brutus is once again temporarily allowing you to upgrade your Pristine Orbs to the Infused Pristine Set at the cost of Zhulian Power Shards. Zhulian Power Shard requirements have now been halved for this quest. Speak with Brutus again to upgrade your Infused Pristine Set to the Unstable Pristine Set.

During the event players can attack minions to collect Pumpkins which can be handed in to Peg Legged Timmy for a wealth of experience. Help Timmy find his Goody Bags aswell and he will reward you with a variety of potions.

This year, pumpkins will not be used for a collection contest. Instead, for those seeking a few more potions, a new step has been added to the Grabbin' Bags quest. The Pumpkins and Pumpkin Experience quest will be removed when the event ends on the 5th of November, so be sure to hand them in before the event ends!.

Once you have collected 25 fragments you can have the forgers upgrade them to an Exalted Diamond which can be turned in to the Exalted Challenge Master along with a Perfection item in exchange for an Exalted Perfection piece. For those wanting to speed up this process, you can complete the Exalted Diamond quest from the Exalted Forgers to skip the collecting of fragments and obtain a diamond directly for 625 Tokens.

Say goodbye to equipping items to skill! The Skill Masters in the Underground Prison have devised a new way to focus your skills into new items called Skill Crests. Once each skill-tree specific crest is equipped, you will permanently have a +8 bonus for all skills in that tree (as long as the crest remains equipped), meaning you will no longer require skill orbs and pants to skill. Speak with the masters to exchange your skill-tree specific orbs and master pants for the new Skill Crest.

Stay tuned for more Skill Crest updates coming soon!

Lvl 80+: Part 2 of the Augment of Corruption quest has been released! Players who have completed the Power Struggle quest can now speak with the Corrupt Prince to begin the quest The Betrayal to upgrade the Augment of Corruption to the new Augment of Desecration.

A new stat has been added as an extension of the Rampage stat called Frenzy. Similar to how Overkill works for Critical Strike, this new stat takes any Rampage past 100% and converts it into increased EXP stripped and gained in PvP. This includes increasing any other factors like brutality potions etc. You can track your Frenzy % on the Home page.

Lvl 80+: The Thunder Mage Set has been released! Speak with Farad, the Thunder Mage in the mountains of Winteros and present him with a Thunder Ball to obtain this thunderous gear! Collecting the entire Thunder Mage set will provide it's carrier with the most powerful set bonus in the game.

During the trials, Arkrons most trusted guardians, Shaik and Rook, will occasionally appear. Arkron has also sent his powerful assistant Golluk. This raid will spawn every day and will not count towards the crew cap, however only the most powerful of crews will be able to defeat him!

Arkron has also now recruited his very own Gladiator! Players can attack Teva, Gladiator of Power in the Gladiator Arena to attempt to be one of the top 20 damage dealers who will receive loot. Loot from Teva's chests includes Elementium Wands (top 3), Augment of the Divine Combatant (top 5), Elementium Curios (top 10) and Recharge the Fury potions (top 20).

Crusaders drop everything Combatants do except the skill orb is replaced with a more powerful version and the Crusaders can drop the Augment of the Divine Combatant. Also, while both of these minions drop the Elementium Curio, only the Crusaders can drop the Elementium Wand.

Combatants and Crusaders can also drop rare items called Auras. Each elemental type of minion will drop an Aura specific to that element and one each of these can be handed in to the Trial Merchant to receive Arkrons Collector Augment.

During this event players can obtain Trial Insignia's from enemies, which will be the currency for the top 5 contest. Players will also have a 1 week grace period after the event to hand Insignia's in to the Trial Merchant for EXP before they are removed. Only 1 character per person is eligible to place in the top 5 for the Trial Insignia contest. This includes cross server and using other RG accounts as well.

A new quest has been released in the City of Corruption where players can put use to the Corrupted Tomes collected over the previous weeks. Speak with the Corrupt Princess to begin the Power Struggle to obtain the Augment of Corruption. This is a 2-part quest, so once you obtain the augment be sure to keep it safe until part 2 is released!

A new potion has been added to the Treasury to increase levelling speed for characters under level 75. Once you cast the new Quest Experience Potion, all quest EXP rewards will be increased by 50% until you reach level 75, at which point the potion will no longer have any effect.

The Trial of Power nears! Arkron and his allies will return to Rallis to train your armies on the 22nd of June. Downtime will begin at 10PM before the event starts at 11PM. Rumor has it that Arkron has now recruited his very own Gladiator for the Trial.

We have added point rewards for Zerx, Gladiator Titan! All players in the top 100 will now receive point rewards. Players ranked 1-30 will receive 70 points and ranks starting at 31 will be awarded 1 less point per rank. For example rank 31 will receive 69 points, rank 32 will receive 68 points, scaling down to rank 100 which will receive 1 point. Stay tuned for new Gladiator content coming soon!

Once again we will be hosting a pool for the Fifa World Cup! To enter the pool, send 500 points to Slash with the team you want to win, like in the example below. Outwar will attach a 25 point fee onto your transfer, meaning the total cost of entry will be 525 points, however make sure you only send 500. If your team wins, you will get your 525pts (500+transfer fee) back and the losers points will be split evenly between all the winners. Outwar will be adding 1050 points to the pool as well! If you wish to confirm your entry was added you can message Slash on discord. All entries must be sent before the first match kicks off on June 14.

A new test of strength has been added to Diamond City. The Gladiator Arena is now open for all characters level 75 and above! Prove your strength to the community by dealing as much damage as you can. The more damage you do, the higher your rank climbs and the greater your rewards will be.

To gain access to the Gladiator Arena, speak with the Gladiator Trumpeter to receive your admission ticket. You can then enter the arena and attack Zerx, Gladiator Titan when he appears. Zerx will remain active for 4 days, during which time players can attack him to raise their damage and rank as high as possible. When the 4 day timer is up, Zerx will retreat for 10 days before restarting the cycle.

Upon Zerx's retreat, reward chests will be awarded to the top 30 damage dealers for that 4 day period. These chests contain a new currency called Honored Gladiator Marks. The higher your rank the more marks you will receive. You can redeem your marks to the Gladiator Treasurer for rewards including Irthys Orbs, Recharge the Fury, Zombie Potion set, Unstoppable Concoction and the new Honored Gladiator Augment.

The more floors you clear, the more powerful this augment becomes. Do not delete your Infinite Augment as you will need to turn it in to upgrade it.

With Viserion having been defeated, another powerful presence is stirring in Winteros. Balerion, Dragon of Dread has awoken, seeking to avenge his fallen brother.

200% Crit = 100% crit chance / 5.5% Overkill
400% Crit = 100% crit chance / 11.5% Overkill

The War of Zhul has begun! Irthys, Titan of Zhul has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City, along with his own personal Guardians! Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Herrivon's failed attempt to invade Diamond City meant his minions shifted their allegiances to a new form of power, including the three Zhulian Guardians. These Guardians have a chance to drop item loot including Heart of Nature keys, Zhulian Power Shards, Potions, Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more. These 3 guardians spawn randomly over the first 12 hours of the invasion.

A lot of you have been asking for ability to get more character slots on your RGA since some players currently have 75/25 from the server merge in 2015. Well this option is now available to everyone. Check out the treasury for the +25 Character Slots to start building your RGA even bigger.
This item will unlock character slots for both servers no matter which server you purchase the item on.

The War of Zhul has begun! Herrivon, Mercenary of War has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City, along with his own personal Guardians! Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Belvok's catastrophic failure to invade Diamond City meant his minions shifted their allegiances to a new form of power, including the three Zhulian Guardians. These Guardians have a chance to drop item loot including Heart of Nature keys, Zhulian Power Shards, Potions, Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more. These 3 guardians spawn randomly over the first 12 hours of the invasion.

The major changes this event include:
-To help prevent backpack and item transfer lag, general quest/recipe drop rates have been reduced. This also means that the requirements of quests / recipes have also been lowered to compensate for this change.
-Brutus is offering a new quest called Augments of Zhul. Similar to the Augments of the Mind quest from the Zombie Invasion, this quest presents war participants with the opportunity to obtain 1 of 3 tiers of a new augment, depending on the amount of summoning shards collected. This quest will not remove your summoning shards.
-The competition winner from each server will now receive the new Zhulian Conqueror Orb Set. See the WoZ page for more on this topic.

The Efflorescent Spear can be used to upgrade your Tier 2 pants to a Tier 3 version. Speak with Brutus to initiate this trade.

During this event you can speak with Brutus to once again upgrade your Infused Pristine Set to the Unstable Pristine Set! Brutus is also once again temporarily allowing you to upgrade your Pristine Orbs to the Infused Pristine Set at the cost of Zhulian Power Shards.

Players can once again obtain the Augment of Zhulian Warfare. Speak to Brutus for more information!

Only 1 character per person is eligible to place in the top 5 for the Summoning Shard contest. This includes cross server and using other RG accounts as well. You can however choose any character on your winning RGA to receive the rewards.

For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

Due to the Zhulian Army stampeding over our servers, there is a possibility of a downtime period up to 1-2 hours shortly after the launch of WoZ to defeat the Lock Error boss. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Lvl 75+: A new form of content has been added to the game called Collections. This new feature allows players to complete a range of quests with different requirements for specific permanent rewards such as attack, hit points, rage, elemental damages and more. To track your collections, head over to the Collections page.

On the Collections page you can view all current collections in the game, which collections you have completed and what total reward each collection gives. Every collection can be started in the Hall of the Guardians, just West of the Dusty Glass Tavern. You can locate the NPC to start each collection by clicking on their image on the collections page. When you have completed the quest for each collection tier, a green check mark will appear next to it's name to confirm you have completed that collection. At the end of each quest you will be rewarded with a Collection Piece which you can activate to gain permanent stat upgrades (similar to enhancements).

With this initial launch comes 4 collections:
Anjou Collection - Defeat a large number of enemies throughout the world.
Reikar Collection - Retrieve items from enemies throughout the world.
Lorren Collection - Retrieve items from enemies with long respawns.
Souma Collection - Defeat powerful Guardian Raids.

More collections will be released one at a time over the coming weeks. Do not put your full focus on completing these collections however, as it has been reported a large Zhulian Army has started their march toward the city and will be here as early as the end of the month! Will they end their march by the ..... end of March?!

There's a rumor that behind one of the trophy cases in the Hall of Fame there is a portal to some unknown area that has never been mapped. Stories of Wuxtyx Antecedent, The First have been told for many of years. It's been said that this being used to roam around these lands killing all the gods that you yourself now kill honorably. He gained immense power from killing all of them. Now is your chance to acquire the same power he has.

These god slayer quests will be released in waves. First we are starting with the Original Ten gods that showed up in Diamond City. Synge, Rancid, Tarrance, Zertan, Quiver, Garland, Tylos, Threk, Jazzmin, and Sigil. They require you to kill these gods and hand in the Artifact that specific god. Once you've completed the entry quest you should look for Original Ten Slayer. He will have the list of gods you need to slay.

As a bonus, we've decided to also release the second wave of gods to kill. Seek out Potion Slayer to acquire more god slayer kills.

If you find yourself lucky enough to get your hands on a Lost Artifact of said god, you may claim the slayer kill for a price, without having to kill the god itself. Or if you already have the kill but would like to also use the Lost Artifact, you will find a traveler in each room who is willing to exchange your Lost Artifacts for the more common Artifacts.

More skill stats will be added to the God Slayer skill once more waves are released

A new Guardian raid has appeared in the Deathbat Graveyard! Skarthul the Avenged has returned to find his undead army vanquished. Seek him out, defeat him and you shall reap powerful rewards, such as 2 new augments, 2 new pieces of gear and more. To balance the arrival of this new god, point rewards have been removed from the 5 castle gods.

We are having another pool this year for the 51st Superbowl. The two teams are the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. How this works is you pick the team you think is going to win. If your team wins, the losers points will be split evenly between all the winners. This years entry fee is 500 points. Send 500 points to Vengenz and in the message write which team you want to pick. You can either PM Vengenz on IRC or in game and let him know you have paid him.

All players who participate in this pool will receive this medal.

With the Zombie Horde wiped out, the Zombie Invasion has now come to an end. You must now however defend the city from the Zombie General! Kill him before he has a chance to catch Diamond City off guard!

Congratulations to the contest winners, placings have been displayed on the Zombie Invasion page and winners can submit a support ticket to claim their chosen prizes.

Stay tuned for more updates in the near future. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The zombie plague has risen again and is terrorizing the streets of Diamond City! You must help defend the city from the mass horde of undead, as well as their 3 ruling guardians ordering the attack! Attack as many zombies as you can find to collect zombie brains, fragments and other items used to craft special augments or gear. The event will run for 2 weeks, ending on Friday 12/23/2016 at noon, at which point the Zombie General will appear.

Changes for this event include:
-Rage amounts have been increased on the 4 main zombie mobs. This also means drop rates have been equally increased to balance this change. Yay server speed!
-Zombie Brain drops now scale, meaning they have a higher chance to drop from higher level mobs. This means contest participants will no longer be disadvantaged for attacking different mobs.
-As a result of the previous change, brain requirements for the belt quests have been reduced.
-Generals Scourgeplates have been replaced with a new chest item, the Zombie Tunic, which is obtainable from the 3 Guardians and the Zombie General.
-Zombie Augment 5 recipe now only requires 1 Zombie Heart, but the Zombie Augment 6 recipe now requires 1 Zombie Heart.
-Zombie Augment 4 recipes no longer require Zombie Hearts, but 2 extra Zombie Heads instead.
-Zombie Augment 3 recipes now only require 1 Zombie Head.
-Zombie Essence drop rate has been doubled on Zombie Knights but slightly decreased on the 3 gods.
-Zombie Hearts and Heads will no longer remain after the event. They will now be removed when the boss is spawned at the end of the event. This change also means that drop rates will increase for future events.
-Zombie Brains will no longer be removed when the event ends. Instead, players will now have until the Boss Spawn is dead on both servers to hand in brains for experience before they are removed. Brain counts for the contest will still be taken when the event ends, meaning winners will no longer miss out on EXP!
-Lowered the mob requirements of the Zombie Invasion quest, get those Zombie Slayers! The Zombie Slayer's stats have also been increased.

As a new addition for this event, you can present your collected Zombie Brains to Dillan and he will award you with a new augment depending on how many brains you have collected. You can upgrade this new augment a further 2 times if you collect more brains. Please note, this quest WILL NOT remove any brains from your account, Dillan only wants to check to see how many you have! These augments can not be transferred between characters. This quest will be removed at the end of the event when the boss spawns.

To begin your Zombie Invasion adventure, speak to Cyprus outside the Dusty Glass Tavern and acquire your zombie killing weaponry!

As usual, Macky is willing to help you create Zombie Heads if you help him gather some supplies!

If you are looking for new gear to battle the zombies, speak to Carman and she will gladly equip you with powerful belts in exchange for Zombie Brains. For those with leftover Zombie Brains who are not interested in placing in the contest, she will also allow you to trade them in for experience.

For those with leftover Fragments, hand them over to Dillan for some bonus experience.

For more information including winners rewards for the contest and recipes, head over to the Zombie Invasion page. Please note, you will be able to claim multiple of some keys (eg. 4x Profound Ward). Happy Apocalypse!

The Profound Warden set has been added to the game for those wanting to even further their power level. Collecting this whole set will provide it's bearer with power never seen before!

Speak with the Profound Warden to enquire about obtaining this set. He will trade one Profound Ward for each piece of the set, which can be found on the treasury.

Belvok, World Destroyer has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City, along with his own personal Guardians! Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

Sylastra's failure to claim power in Diamond City meant her minions shifted their allegiances to a new form of power, including the three Zhulian Guardians. These Guardians have a chance to drop item loot including Heart of Nature keys, Zhulian Power Shards, Potions, Rings of Kinetic Power, Efflorescent Spears and more. These 3 guardians will now spawn randomly over the first 12 hours and you are no longer required to obtain the Zhulian Ward to access them.

The major changes this event include:
-Rings of Kinetic Power and Zhulian Power Shards will no longer remain after the War of Zhul. They will now be removed when the boss is spawned at the end of the event. This change also means that the drop rates will increase for future events.
-Summoning Shards will no longer be removed when the event ends. Instead, players will now have until the Boss Spawn is dead on both servers to hand in shards for experience before they are removed. Summoning shard counts for the contest will still be taken when the event ends, meaning winners will no longer miss out on EXP.

-Addition of a new Zhulian mob, the Zhulian Succubus. Only the strongest of fighters can defeat this invader, but those that do have the potential to obtain Summoning Shards, Rings of Kinetic Power and a new exceptionally rare drop, the Efflorescent Spear. Due to the Zhulian Succubus's arrival, Ring of Kinetic Power drops are now less common from the Zhulian Shade.
-The Efflorescent Spear can be used to upgrade your Tier 2 Ring to a new Tier 3 version .. a Signet of the Destroyer. Speak with Brutus to initiate this trade.
-Zhulian Mistress and Friar are now 25 and 50 man raids respectively. The Zhulian Friar now also has a chance to drop Trinkets!

Seek out Brutus for the Quest "Attacking Zhulian Gods" for protection in fighting the Zhulian Mercenary, Mistress and Friar. These 3 guardians will now spawn randomly over the first 24 hours.

We have also rolled out the new Profile today. More stats have been added under the "Player Info". You can now upload player images with the dimensions of 504x250. A new 2MB Digital Camera had been added to the Treasury and all the prices for the Digital Cameras have been reduced. The Underling area has had some more info added to it. More new features will be added to it in time but we felt like rolling out the new look for the current features.
If you find any bugs on the new profile, please message Shady. You can find me in the IRC server. Use that webchat ;)

In consideration with balancing the new token system, the price of the Ancient Alsayic set has been adjusted to be 15% cheaper than its original cost.

A new questing zone has been added to the game intended for players level 76+ ... the "Deathbat Graveyard".

The undead have been rising from their graves and are forming a decaying army that is approaching Diamond City. You should head to the Deathbat Graveyard located to the North of Rallis and speak with Aggathen to begin "The Graveyard Shift".
Lvl 76+: Jiraya has a new quest for you called Combat Experience (Quest Shard), which awards a bonus 25% EXP!
Lvl 76+: Vixianne has a new quest for you called Fighting Knowledge (Quest Shard), which awards a bonus 25% EXP!

We have done a total overhaul to the Edit Characters page. If some things look weird, please do Ctrl+f5 to refresh and clear the cache of that page.

You'll notice the Create Character page is totally different and much more informative of each class. All you have to do is select your class, pick your server, type in the name you would like and click create.

The Delete Character page has a new layout and look to it.

We have also done a major overhaul to the Trustees page. You can now type in all the different RGA's you want to trustee in one single line. Example "RGA1, RGA2, RGA3, RGA4" and so on. Once you're done with that, you can click the "Cast Potions", "Cast Ling Buff", and "Activate Keys" to select all the check boxes for all the RGA's you have trusteed. Make sure you click the "Update Permissions" button to have them saved. We have also added a "Remove All Trustees" button to help clear your trustees if needed.

Lastly, we have combined the Trustee and IP log into one single page. Pretty self explanatory.

Last but not least, Happy Easter to you and your families.

The Item Transfer page has overgone a major overhaul. Items are now seperated in rows by their slot (Head, Neck, Other etc). You can still select multiple of the same item by double clicking the checkbox of a single item.

You can also now view the direct cost of transfering each item by hovering over each item on the item transfer page. The cost is listed at the bottom of the item in red text ... e.g "This item will cost 25 pts to transfer".

Set Item transfer costs have also been slightly reduced as listed below:
250 Points Per Ancient Alsayic Set Item
200 Points Per Metallurgy Composite Set Item
150 Points Per Dread Pirates Set Item
100 Points Per Godly Protection Set Item
75 Points Per Clockwork Armament
50 Points Per Celestial Set Item
25 Points Per Other Playerbound Items

Item sets not listed above now have a free transfer cost (Sovereign, Oblivion etc).

The Wilderness has been added back to the game, but this time with a change! Instead of Wrapped Gifts being awarded every 10 levels, each level you gain now gives you a permanent 1 ATK / 1 HP bonus to your character. For example, if you reach level 308, your character will have a permanent +308 ATK and HP increase.

Head over to the Wilderness page to increase your Wilderness level. If you manage to increase your Wilderness level high enough, your character name will be displayed on the Wilderness Rankings page.

Some major changes have been made to the current PvP system in an effort to make PvP much more rewarding and desirable. The changes are as follows:

The 2-50 rage slider for PVP attacks has now been removed, instead there is now fixed rage amounts for the following level brackets:
lvl 10-34 = 50 rage
lvl 35-44 = 100 rage
lvl 45-54 = 200 rage
lvl 55-64 = 300 rage
lvl 65-74 = 400 rage
lvl 75-80 = 500 rage

EXP Strips / Gains have been significantly increased.

Circle of Protection now reduces damage taken by 40%, down from 60%.

A new Master Brutality Potion has been added to the game that causes 100% extra EXP to be stripped / gained. The current Brutality Potions now only cause 50% extra EXP to be stripped and gained (down from 100%). You can create a Master Brutality Potion in the Cauldron by mixing 10 Brutality Potions and a Refined Lignite, or obtain one by handing in 100 Brutality Potions to the Guardian of Brutality in the Dusty Glass Tavern.

Bounties on players now cause an extra 15% EXP to be stripped.

You can now purchase a PVP Immunity item from the treasury, causing you to be immune to all attacks for either 1 day or 7 days, but also not being able to attack during that period.

The Pity Cap has been altered - now players 11 levels or more above a target will take pity on that player (changed from 50% of the attacker's level).

PvP Masteries have now been cleared due to certain changes in the PvP system, however previous rankings can be viewed on the Mastery Archives page.

Major updates have been made to the Quest Log page, aiming at improving player experience and game performance.

You can now choose to hide/show quests in the Quest Helper on the explore page. You can also choose to show/hide all to speed this process up a bit!

You can now purchase a Quest Finder in the treasury to display all quests available to you that you have not yet accepted (from your characters level and below). These quests are ordered under each NPC quest giver by level requirement, and also display icons if quest shards are required for each quest. The "find this mob" feature is now accessible from this page also, along with a new improved teleport feature! All quests have been set to hidden by default so you will have to click "Show Quest" to see them on the explore page.

If your quest log is giving you an error, please send in a support ticket or email [email protected] with the error information to get it sorted out. This is an unfortunate bug from the merge.

A rift was broken in the recent converging of the realms, causing demons to spill out all over the streets of Diamond City! You must kill the creatures from each realm before it's too late! Speak to the Rampid Realmkeeper near the Dusty Glass Tavern to begin your challenge and hopefully get a few bonuses along the way!

If you have a current support ticket open that hasn't been replied to or closed, please send us an email with your ticket#.

You have less than 24 hours to clear out the demons from the streets of Diamond City and hand in your relics! The event will end at noon tomorrow, meaning all quests will then also be removed, so hand those relics in!

There has been a rumor going around that someone in Diamond City is giving people a new identity in this world. We've heard he likes to hang out around Stella. Check it out if you're looking to once change who you were. This quest will only be active for 1 month

Character Name Change has been added to the treasury.

If you are the leader of your crew and you still need a name change because of the merge, please send in a support ticket to get your free Crew Name Change.

In the coming weeks we've got some great content coming out. So be on the lookout for it.

The server merge process is now complete! We ask that you please report any bugs caused by the server merge immediately to admins via IRC, Email (located on contact page), or by Support Ticket. If you have quest NPC's missing from where they should be, contact admins and we will spawn them asap. Free character and crew name changes will be dealt with in the near future. All characters and crews will be awarded 1 free change. Support tickets have been cleared during the merge, so if you had an active ticket before the merge, please resubmit it.

Amulets of Achievement drops from raids have now been substituted with Amulet Chests which upon activation reward you with amulets. Enjoy the freed up space in your crew vaults!

Raid Bosses have now been spawned. Certain loot has been increased, along with the HP of the bosses.

Welcome to the new Torax era! The Torax/Zimbob/Quiver merge has been completed successfully, however there are a few important things you will need to know.

Your gear is in your backpack, you will need to re-equip it.
Trustees have been cleared.
Hitlists have been cleared.
Treasury Items for Sale have been cleared.

Free character and crew name changes will be an issue dealt with in time after the whole merge is over. Players with _1 and _2 after their name, along with crews having _2 and _3 will get a free name change.

The Sigil/Fabar/Rancid merge will begin in 1-2 days time. Raid Bosses will be spawned on both servers once the entire merge process is complete.

The great Outwar Server Merge is imminent! We are now looking at a date as soon as Tuesday, 20th of January to start the process. We expect the downtime for each server to last approx 24-48 hours, however we advise you to please allow for up to 1 week of downtime for the entire process to be complete.

The server merges will be:
New Sigil = Sigil, Fabar & Rancid
New Torax = Torax, Zimbob & Quiver

We ask that you please be patient with this process, and understand that there is certain balancing that will beed to be done. Most of this will not happen until the days after the merge, until we gather some activity data to ensure the most accurate balancing possible. Therefore, please understand that if you feel something is imbalanced after the merge, it will most likely be tuned in the following days.

Please head to the Server Merge FAQ page for more information on this subject. If you have any further enquiries, please don't hesitate to contact Shady or Slashzor on IRC.

You only have 5 days left to purchase the shirts and hoodie. After that they'll be made and shipped out. Get yours before its too late. Outwar Merch

Congrats to the winners of the Christmas quest. Send in a support ticket or message Shady on IRC to claim your items.

HO HO HO! Christmas is here again! Tomorrow (26th) talk to Saint Nick on Main Street, help him and he will reward you greatly, or take a chance to be one of the top 3 collectors of each server and be rewarded nicely this holiday!

1st place: Dungeon key of choice
2nd place: Dungeon key of choice
3rd place: Dungeon key of choice

Top 3 players from each server with the most Candy Canes on them when event is over will win! This event will run until the end of the year, Dec 31st 11:59pm Outwar Time. Have fun and good luck!

Changes have been implemented to the Uber Epic farming system in order to minimize the effect that low-alt accounts are having on the game. All of the current mobs in-game that previously dropped the uber epic trinkets now do NOT drop any trinkets.

Trinkets now drop from new mobs spawned throughout the Plane of Nature and the Cave to the east. There are 9 new mobs with 10 spawns each that drop the trinkets corresponding to their color/name.

These mobs are:
Stone Guardian
Noxious Guardian
Mysterious Guardian
Luminous Guardian
Heavenly Guardian
Enflamed Guardian
Brutal Guardian
Aquatic Guardian
Agile Guardian

The Halloween Event has now come to an end. Congratulations to all contest winners during the Halloween Event, and we hope you all got awefully sick from all the candy! Winners from the contest are now displayed on the Halloween page.

Your recent efforts however have not gone unnoticed. With all the commotion throughout the streets of Diamond City, a huge plague of zombies have been lured in and are tearing the city to shreds! The zombie army is now more powerful than ever, as they seem to have 3 new ruling guardians directing their attack ... they must be defeated! Attack as many zombies as you can find, and save up your zombie brains for a shot at a new Best in Slot Core and Pants!

To begin your Zombie Invasion adventure, speak to Cyprus outside the Dusty Glass Tavern and acquire your zombie killing weaponary!

As usual, Macky is willing to help you create Zombie Heads if you help him gather some supplies!

If you are looking for new gear to battle the zombies, speak to Carman and she will gladly trade you some Helm items for Zombie Brains. For those with leftover Zombie Brains who are not interested in placing in the contest, she will also allow you to trade them for experience.

For those with leftover Fragments, hand them over to Dillan for some bonus experience.

This Zombie Event will end in 14 days, at which point the Zombie General will appear! For more information including winners rewards for the contest, head over to the Zombie Invasion page. Happy Apocalypse!

The frenzy that is Halloween has struck the streets of Diamond City once again! Peg Legged Timmy has returned to help you battle through the hordes of candy lovers, and this time there is an extra task for you!

For this Halloween event, players placing in the top 3 for item drop counts will receive prizes, however ... there is a twist! 9 new beings have been seen in the streets of Diamond City, forming 3 primary groups: Pumpkin beings, Skeleton beings and Candy lovers. Each of these 3 groups of mobs drop an item specific to that group. Pumpkin mobs will drop Pumpkins, Skeleton mobs will drop Skeleton Heads and Candy Lover mobs will drop Candy Corn. (The original mobs for the "Grabbin' Bags" quest do not drop any of these items.) The top 3 player counts for each item will be eligible for a reward, therefore there will be 9 winners on each server!

Please note, you can NOT place in more than one tier of rewards. E.g If you place in the top 3 for Pumpkins, you will not be eligible for rewards in the Skeleton and Candy tiers. Also as usual, only one character per player is eligible for rewards (including multiple servers).

1st Place: Halloween Core, 5x Overflowing Goody Bag worth of items. 2nd Place: 4x Overflowing Goody Bag worth of items. 3rd Place: 3x Overflowing Goody Bag worth of items.

Overflowing Goody Bag = 3x Bubble Gum, 1x Starburst, 1x Snickers Bar, 1x Sugar Daddy, 1x M&Ms, 1x Quest Shard, 1x Hallowed Augment.

Paezin the Observer has completed her scouting route! Players can now complete the quest "The Divided Planes" and start a new final quest called "The Plane of Darkness". If you have not yet started The Divided Planes, speak to Kevin in Chuggers Palace Bar.

Those who have completed "The Divided Planes" quest, speak to Lucien inside the entrance of the Plane of Darkness.

This expansion brings a large amount of questing content, including a quest to obtain a new powerful Core! In addition to this, the expansion also includes an addition of a new powerful 10 man Guardian raid ... "Karvaz, Lord of Alsayic", who is known to possess one of the most powerful augments in the universe.

Lvl 76+: Kolgra has new quests for you called Guards of the Castle (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard version), and a special quest for a new Best in Slot Core called Down to the Core.

Lvl 75+: Lucien has new quests for you called Entering the Dark and Invading the Shadows (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Hurkon has new quests for you called Flanking the Shadows and Hurkon's Request (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

New Two Man Raid Dungeon + Set!

A new two man dungeon has been discovered to the North of the Plane of Nature! The Alsayic Ruins were until now an ancient part of history, however you have been blessed with the opportunity to uncover the secrets within them! Bring the Key to the Alsayic Ruins to Nerin in the Plane of Nature to begin your epic adventure through these ruins.

This raids in this dungeon drop the current best-in-game set, however obtaining this will not be an easy task. The beings residing in the ruins have spent centuries absorbing the Alsayic Magic, growing so powerful even Lord Karvaz himself was forced to lock them away from the world.

For those of you unable to face the wrath of these monstrosities, you can chose to go in solo and enlist the help of Nerin himself. This however, will come at an extra cost!

Additional Updates
For those of you needing to morph a gemmed item, you can now use the Ungem feature in the Blacksmith to restore that item back to its original stats.

Boss raiding should now work as mentioned in the previous news post.

Raid result loading times have been improved significantly.

We have made a number of changes recently in order to resolve a number of bugs and issues. Some of these changes include:

- The Launch Delay Timer has now been removed from all raids, therefore all raids should now launch instantly.

- Crews are now limited to forming no more than 1 raid against Raid Bosses every 1 minute. This also means your crew can now only raid 1 Raid Boss at a time, so choose wisely!

- As a result of the boss form timer being added, adjustments have been made to improve every boss's loot table.

After fighting off the forces in the Plane of Nature, scouts discovered a new form of power in the area, out of the remnance of Lord Karvaz's Alsayic power. This form of power was unknown to the world until now, therefore the scouts immediately took samples to advanced scientists in Diamond City. The scientists could only provide a brief understanding of this power, but it is understood that the core of this power is used to imbue armor and weapons for an enhanced effect.

This is all we know about this new found power however, as some of the powerful beings in Diamond City felt the presence of it immediately and destroyed the laboratories while escaping with the power core samples, before further research could be completed. Brutalitar, Lord of the Underworld and Varsanor, Master of Darkness are known to have taken 2 of these samples. The more powerful samples however, were taken by minions of Cosmos, Great All Being and Death, Reaper of Souls. We can only assume they are now in their possession. Rumor also has it that small portions of the leftover cores were stolen by looters, who are now selling them in return for Amulets of Achievement.

Doran the Scout has returned! The Plane of Fire is now accessible for those who have completed the required steps of the quest "The Divided Planes". This expansion brings a large amount of questing content, including a quest to obtain a powerful augment! If you have not yet started The Divided Planes, speak to Kevin in Chuggers Palace Bar.

Along with the questing content, this expansion also includes the addition of a new powerful 10 man Guardian raid ... "Felroc, Overseer of Hellfire".

Lvl 75+: Oulwin, the Ancient Keeper has new quests for you called Defending the Ruins and Supplies for the Fort (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions), and a special quest called The Alsayic Bond.

Lvl 75+: Denkhin has new quests for you called Commencing the Clearance and The Southern Scorchland (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Kethen has new quests for you called Gathering the Essences, The Northern Scorchland and Western Assistance (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Nathaniel has new quests for you called Advancement Preparation, Eastern Assistance and Minions of Fire (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Rhea has new quests for you called The Lava Serpents and The Western Flow (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Cernil has new quests for you called The Eastern Flow and Fiery Evolutions (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Brasson, the Elvish King has a new quest for you called The Eastern Scorchland (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard version).

Lvl 75+: Priela has new quests for you called Might of the Flames and Supplies from the East (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Zarala has new quests for you called The Molten Lake and Molten Resources (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard versions).

Lvl 75+: Alleina has a new quest for you called Swimming with Fire (with 25% bonus exp Quest Shard version).

Stay tuned for the Plane of Darkness to be released in the not too distant future, once Paezin the Observer returns!

The War of Zhul invasion has been put to a stop. Reikavon, Lord of Misery is now vulnerable. Defeat him before he has a chance to retreat!

Click here to raid Reikavon, Lord of Misery.

Congratulations to the Summoning Shard Contest winners, please submit a support ticket to claim your prizes. We would also like to congratulate Andreas and Fevershark on the Sigil server, for the first ever TIE during the War of Zhul!

On a side note, Brutus will remain in Diamond City with the “Upgraded Pristine Orbs” quests until shortly after Reikavon has been killed on all servers.

Our scouts have found Reikavon’s secret stash of loot hidden deep below Diamond City. It contains with it a new recipe for a Powerful ring, perhaps you could reforge the ingredients with the ring you obtained from Brutus to see what it does! Also found hidden away were new recipes for augments created by Reikavon, never before seen to this world. The ancient power of reforging Zhulian Berserker items has also been discovered once again, speak to Tieste in the Reel Theater for more information.

The War of Zhul has begun! Reikavon, Lord of Misery has spawned minions throughout the streets of Diamond City, along with his own personal Guardians! Rally your alliances and fight with honor as you battle your way through the streets to rid this land of the Zhulian filth! Speak to Brutus to begin your defense of Diamond City.

This War of Zhul event brings multiple changes/additions, the main one being there are now 3 new Guardians to attack that have chances to drop item loot including Heart of Nature keys, Zhulian Power Shards, Potions and Rings of Kinetic Power. Seek out Brutus for the Quest "Attacking Zhulian Gods" for protection in fighting Reikavon's Mercenary, Mistress and Friar.

Another addition during this event only is the ability to upgrade your Pristine Orbs into orbs with a set bonus. Speak to Brutus for the "Upgraded Pristine Orbs" quests in order to obtain these powerful orbs! (The Scuba Mask requirement for the Plane of Nature lake has been added to the treasury at a free cost!).

Another change during this event, is the limitation of only 1 character per person being able to place in the top 5 for the Summoning Shard contest. This includes using other RG accounts aswell.

For further information on these topics, see the War of Zhul FAQ's on the Command Center page.

A new Uber Epic Quest is available for you called The Blunt Force. Speak to Volodar at the Western entrance of the Lake in the Plane of Nature and bring him the highly elusive Aquatic Trinket. This tradeable trinket is purchasable in the treasury, but is also a rare drop from the four Shark mobs located in the Lake of the Plane of Nature.

Our scouts have returned with more information on the impending Zhulian attack on Diamond City. They have strong reason to believe that the Zhulian forces will be at the gates of Diamond City by early Wednesday Morning. Are you prepared for the assault?!

Some major changes have been made to the Raid Bosses. Fangore/Sandleman/Blackhand/Gargantuan have been replaced with a new boss called Cosmos, Great All Being. Jarule/Tallius/Pythor have been replaced with a new boss called Death, Reaper of Souls. All 5 Dragon bosses have been replaced with a new boss called Maekrix, Dreaded Striker. Juggernaut has had some minor adjustments, and is now called Juggernaut, Unstoppable Force.

While the loot of these bosses merged may not be identical to before, the general loot system remains very similar for each of them. For example, Cosmos, Great All Being drops Stoneraven, Bacaba and now Gnomish keys. Death, Reaper of Souls drops KH keys/Furies/Totems etc. Maekrix, Dreaded Striker now drops the Red Dragon Set items.

Previous boss raid loot has been manually awarded for certain bosses with noticable damage taken.

Lvl 75+ - A new Power Orb Dungeon has been added to the Plane of Nature. Speak to Paraya at the entrance of the Pristine Depths, located along the eastern side of the lake in the Plane of Nature at the southern face of the mountain. Players have a guaranteed drop to obtain an "Earthern Orb" each run, and also have a chance at obtaining the more prestigious "Pristine Orb". The mobs in this dungeon also have a chance to drop Lost Grind Room Keys #5 and #10. The tradeable key for this dungeon is purchasable in the treasury, but is also a rare drop from the 5 mobs located in the swamp to the east of the lake.

Gnomish Laboratory - Universal Fastener is now a 100% drop from the Hailstone raid, instead of a normal mob drop.

A new Uber Epic Quest is available for you called The Forest Enchantment. Speak to Talissa in the North-Western Forest of the Plane of Nature and bring her the highly elusive Noxious Trinket. This tradeable trinket is purchasable in the treasury, but is also a rare drop from all creatures located in the North-Western Forest.

Buried Ruins of Bacaba - The Power Glove of Celestial Slaughter and the 7 The Life Forces now have a 100% drop rate. Upon mixing the 7 Life Forces, you now receive a Necklace of Celestial Slaughter instead of a Lost Bacaba Chest.

Gnomish Laboratory - Raids in this dungeon have been changed to 3-5 man.

A new lev 75+ Uber Epic Quest is available for you called A Warrior's Might. Speak to Varzen at the base of the mountain in the Plane of Nature and bring him the highly elusive Heavenly Trinket. This tradeable trinket is purchasable in the treasury, but is also a rare drop from both types of Asphixiens and Antekins located on the mountain. These pants are considered Uber Epic, because they are currently the Best-in-Slot pants by a fair amount.

2 new quests have been added to the game for those players wanting the Weapon and Chest of the Scallywag Set but are unable to find other players to run the dungeon with. You can hand over a Pirate Treasure Map to Tracy McScurvy, in return for these items.

Lvl 75+ New Area Expansion - The Divided Planes (The Plane of Nature)

A new content expansion has been added to the game. The Plane of Nature is the first in a three part installment of a mysterious forest, now known as the Divided Planes as a result of an evil necromancer named Karvaz, Lord of Alsayic having his ways with the land. Can you help the remaining defenses in the Plane of Nature fend off the possessed beasts, and begin to stage an assault on the evil master?

As well as questing content, this area also has a new 10 man Guardian named Kretok, Descendant of Nature. Rumour has it he is in possession of powerful armor, and an augment forged from the Nature Alsayic Magic itself! Can you defeat him and give the Divided Planes a fighting chance?

Once you complete tasks for Seamus, you can earn Bars of Soap to hand to the prison guards, in return for skill pants. The skill pants match the recent Skill Orbs added to the game via name. You can also hand in extra Bars of Soap along with pairs of certain Skill Pants to obtain Master Skill pants, which have all of the specific set of skills on them.

-To adjust and balance for the new Guardian, points have now been removed from Sigil/Jazzmin/Quiver/Zertan.

In celebration of Halloween, we have launched the new Hallowed Eve event where you can load up on candy potions of all varieties! You can collect them all for some serious boosts, and even store them in crew vaults etc as most of the candy can be traded as well! To begin the main quest line, head on over to Hallowed Eva in the Szecian Badlands to begin!

Once you have completed the main quest line, you'll be able to gain access to the Hallowed Eve Trick or Treat event where you can go pummel Trick or Treaters to steal their goody bags and candy! What could possibly be more fun than that!?

This event will run for 1 week, so grab as much candy as you can before it all ends!

- Magic Gem will be brought back into the Amulet Shop once we have finished maintenance on it, however you will no longer be able to ungem it for points afterwards. The purpose of the Magic Gem was to provide people with an alternative and free way to gem the gear that they got as they progressed through the game, however it eventually started to be exploited and used as a point glitch, so until we are 100% certain that is secure, you won't be able to ungem items that were gemmed from Magic Gems for points.

SMS is also an option, but because of the high transactions fees, players won't get as good of a value as with Credit Cards or PayByCash.

Preferred Player now comes in more money-saving packages (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and yearly), with the option to easily renew your subscription at each interval, or just purchase chunks of Preferred Player as you see fit.

PP is also now available for PayByCash customers!

Also, as a reminder, Preferred Player packages can be purchased in the Treasury and the consecutive PP four month bonus is still in effect based on which subscriptions you have maintained over the past four months.

3/23/09 - Introducing the Outwar Concept Team!!:

We'd like to announce the beginning of the Outwar Concept Team, led by the ever so objective Egnar, with assistance from his right-hand man, Jaryd2006. As the Outwar Concept Manager, Egnar will represent the voice of the people by talking to everyone with constructive input that may better any aspect of Outwar or Rampid and relaying that information to an administrator.

The Outwar staff is constantly busy implementing current ideas and fixing any unfortunate issues that pop up and don't get as much time as we would like, to brainstorm and develop more ideas. This is where the Outwar Concept Team and the general population of Outwar comes in. Work with Egnar and Jaryd to create and polish ideas that would better Outwar! The more polished the ideas, the easier it will be to implement them if they make it to the production room.

Keep in mind, many of the ideas that are produced will probably stay as ideas for a very long time, but that's how production from brainstorming ideas works. Consider it a major victory if one in four ideas that Egnar presents are implemented.

With your help, we will hopefully add everything to our system that makes sense for everyone (in good time), giving the players a strong voice for the future gameplay of Outwar. Egnar could maybe use one or two more reliable and logical team members. Message him through the brainstorm section of the forums if you're interested!

Thanks for your support!

To get started today, collect the RampidGaming names of all your RampidGaming friends and click the Rampid logo in your RampidGaming Toolbar (all the way in the top left corner). Then click the link that says - Find Gamers - and enter the RampidGaming Account names of your friends in the search field.

2/25/09 - Outwar Support Staff:

Hello everyone! This is a friendly reminder to be kind and respectful to your Outwar support staff! We have taken great strides - thanks to Misery, his moderators and our programming team, to create the most organized, interactive and helpful support system we can for Outwar and will continue trying to perfect it for you.

In return, all we ask is that all support staff - whether Game Helpers, Moderators, Forum Mods, or Administrators be treated with respect and courtesy. Unfortunately, they won't always be able to help with some of the requests, and it will seem as if they are rude or unresponsive, but we have policies in place to minimize abuse, which must be followed.

One way to show your understanding and appreciation, is to spread positive vibes about the support staff in the forums and especially by rating the tickets fairly when they are completed (10 is the best!).

Thanks for helping Outwar become what it is now!
~ Outwar Staff (especially Support Staff) ~

Thanks everyone for your patience. Everything should be in perfect working order now. RampidGaming and Sigil now have brand new machines with the latest SSD hard drive technology. Please feel free to give us feedback in the forums about any issues you may see or performance changes you notice.

We will be monitoring the new upgrades to track performance ourselves, but always appreciate feedback from the players. After making a judgment on how these changes affect performance, we will be looking into upgrading other servers in need as well. In the meantime, thanks to all other servers for your patience, but you should still see improvements with the upgrade of RampidGaming hardware.

And remember, for the next 24 hours, all experience stolen and stripped during combat will be doubled! Ends at 1pm Wednesday ! Play nice!

Today we will be making some major hardware changing to the RampidGaming server and Sigil server.

RampidGaming is expected to be down for no more than 5-10 minutes and during this time, all game servers will be down.

Sigil won't be so fortunate, as you will need to wait at least 60-90 minutes before returning to the action. However, in the end, there should be significant improvements in site speed.

We expect the downtime to start around 3:00PM EST. Thanks for your patience!

2/13/09 - Hardware Upgrades & Patch Notes:

We now have six brand new dual-core Intel Xeon 5130 2.0 Ghz machines with 4mb caches to handle our traffic. We are looking to maybe add on one or two more, but you should be seeing a significant difference in speed right now, and definitely if we add one or two more.

We aren’t done with hardware upgrades though! All of the database servers will most likely have SSD’s installed to replace the older disk drives. If you aren’t familiar with SSD’s, you should google them… they have no moving parts and they’re really cool!

We are sure these will help speed things up for everyone. These upgrades are solely for you, the players, and we couldn’t make these upgrades if it wasn’t for your support. Even after this wave of upgrades is made, we will still be looking to places we can improve performance within Outwar to make sure you have the best possible playing experience we can provide.
Also, this week's patch notes are now available on the forums and can be found by clicking here.
Thanks, and have a great weekend!

2/12/09 - Hardware Upgrades:

Hello everyone! We just wanted to keep everyone in the loop a bit as to our current status for hardware upgrades. Great updates have been made to boost the ability for our machines to handle traffic load. We aren't done with this yet, and still have some kinks to work out, but we have made a lot of progress and are getting close. We can see the light!

This will not be the end of our hardware updates. We are scheduled to update our database servers too, which will make processing all your information, as you fly around Outwar, that much faster.
Thanks for your patience while we go through this process and hopefully you're already starting to see the overall improvement.

The servers are scaled based on player activity and strength, so as long as Zimbob, Rancid and Quiver are fighting hard, you should be close behind. Show your stuff over the weekend and get those counts up ... one of our spies has told us that the Boss is going to be a doozy!
Have a great weekend,

1/8/09 - A month's worth of Patch Notes & continued support for Sovereign:

This week's patch notes are available now on the forums (which include a lot of important content updates) and can be reviewed by clicking here.
Patch notes are usually released every Friday, but we couldn't wait another day to release them to you as it's been too long since the last update. Patch notes contain information on all changes made to the game during that week. Please feel free to give us feedback on changes that were made or features that were added in this thread.
Also, to anyone who hasn't had the augments they wish to be removed from their Sovereign gear, remember to please submit a support ticket under the category "OTHER..." and in the first line write in capital letters "AUGMENT REMOVAL". Then tell us which piece of gear you want the augments removed from and we'll remove all augments from that piece and return them to your backpack. Please make sure you include the character name and server of the character in question and that you have enough room in your backpack before you submit your ticket. You will then be able re-augment any item with the augs that were just removed. You do not need to include the item link in this ticket.
Again, thanks for your understanding through all this. We look forward to helping you with this issue!
Have a great weekend!
~ Outwar Staff ~

1/7/09 - Augment Support & Nearing the End of Double DC Exp Day:

As we near the end of double DC experience day, we have spent some time creating a backend tool that allows us to help you remove ANY augments from your Sovereign gear.
If you have an augment in your Sovereign gear, and you want it returned to your backpack, send in a support ticket under the category "OTHER..." and in the first line write in capital letters "AUGMENT REMOVAL". Then tell us which piece of gear you want the augments removed from and we'll remove all augments from that piece and return them to your backpack. Please make sure you have enough room in your backpack before you submit your ticket. You will then be able re-augment any item with the augs that were just removed.

1/2/09 - Some Good News for the New Year:

We would like to once again apologize for the Sovereign stat issues. We have made some changes to our content development process that will prevent something like this from happening again.
Tickets are now being processed at a speedy rate and everything should be caught up by Sunday evening.
The Remove Augment upgrade has been edited to allow for the removal of Christmas Augments.
Our coding team implemented some behind the scene changes today that mark the first step of our war on lag. We are also working on replacing the slowest node servers with new Xeon based systems, some of you should start seeing noticeable improvements once they go online.
~ Outwar Staff ~

12/31/08 - Happy New Year!!!:

Hello everyone! Thanks for understanding the changes to the Sovereign set. Again, we apologize for the mix-up and are working hard to rectify anyone's problems that arose because of this in the past 9 days.
That being said, we do have some announcements.
- The Sovereign set bonus has been increased a bit.
- The Radiation Prototype has received a stat reduction and we will soon reaward points to anyone who gemmed it and the augment pack to anyone who augged it.
- A new quest has been added to try and get some more precious augments back! Go find Snook in the Kix Woods. Note, only players who have cleared Kix Woods can learn about this quest from Snook.
Once again, we apologize - this was a complete mistake and believe this is the right thing to do for the longevity of Outwar. Have a great new year and look forward to some great things from Outwar in 2009!
~ Outwar Staff ~

12/30/08 - Christmas over, the New Year is here!:

Christmas and its quests are gone as the New Year arrives! Outwar would like to wish everyone an early New Year's!
Lately, the Rampid calculator has been malfunctioning a bit and as a result we have adjusted all the new Kix Woods gear to where they should be. To reset to where no one should be harmed, anyone who augmented any of these pieces will have a free augment pack in their backpack. Also, anyone who fully gemmed any of the new items will have a Magic Gem in their backpack at their disposal and if you gemmed your new Kix Woods items with less than four gems, you should have the amount you paid in points refunded to your account.
We're sorry for the confusion and hope you understand this was necessary to maintain the balance of Outwar.
Be safe and have a happy New Year!

12/22/08 - Christmas Quest!:

Ho Ho Ho! Looks like Santa is dropping by Diamond City a bit early this year to get a head start on the Christmas preparations. Last year he ran into some trouble, so he wants to make sure nothing goes wrong with the chaotic Diamond City. With this adventure, there is a chance to get some really good loot, and a chance to come out with some not so good loot. I suppose you will find out soon whether you have been naughty... or nice. Santa needs your help near the City Hall. Good luck!
Also a small note, as some players have been aware, we have had an agent offer small deals to "freebie players", people who play but have never contributed to the development of the game by making a point purchase. This agent, who went by the AIM name "promoserviceow" is no longer offering anyone deals, but will return again in the future. Please ignore anyone with a similar name. Keep an eye out for special promos for our current customers as we are always doing more to show our current customers appreciation.
Happy Holidays!!!

11/3/08 - Introducing OUTWAR ACHIEVEMENTS:

Here at Rampid HQ, a team has been working hard for you to create the newest gameplay update for all Outwar players - Achievements! We are launching with 75 unique Outwar Achievements, with the potential to add more in the future. Achievements are based on RampidGaming account, so if you have completed the *Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli* Achievement on one character, it will appear as being complete on all your characters under that RampidGaming account.

All Achievements are grayed out until the requirements for that Achievement are met. Achievements are worth 10, 25 or 50 points, but to show your leetness, collect ALL the Achievements to achieve the highest score.

The link to view your Achievements and your Outwar score is on the Member's Page. Also, look for the Achievement icon in your toolbar. This orange icon represents the real-time unlocking of a new Achievement.

A special thanks to Egnar (EgnarDs on Torax) for supplying Achievement ideas and to GinaBean (BloodKittysAngel on Torax) for helping to test all of the Achievements!

NOTE - to unlock Achievements that you have already completed, you will need to trigger one of the actions from that Achievement again. I.e. – if you have already defeated 10 different Elemental Potion Guardians, you will need to kill one more to officially unlock the *Drink the Kool-Aid* Achievement.

We hope you enjoy the challenge of reaching the highest score! Good luck completing any and all Achievements!

9/17/08 - Bug Fixes and More!!:

Hello everyone. We hope you all find the new Recruitment Competition format more fair and rewarding for all and are looking for some of you who haven't participated in the past to start recruiting more prey, err players to Outwar.

Here's a list of some of the bugs and updates we've been able to provide you recently:
- Broken Skill Images should now be fixed
- The Attack tab in the menu is now used for Searching or Attacking other players
- Crew Leaders now have the ability to mass-message multiple ranks of crew members
- Various orbs no longer equip as Chest pieces
- Recharge the Fury is now working properly
- Various nodes and servers have been repaired and/or upgraded for better performance - Multiple backend tool upgrades
- Multiple Moderator tool upgrades - Mods & Helpers, ask PureMisery or your immediate supervisor if you have any questions
- We have added a tool in the backend to easily enable or disable double PvP strips or gains ... look for us to toggle this real soon!

Also, we realize that there were a bunch of random issues that sprouted on Outwar yesterday evening. Most of these should be taken care of by now. If any still exist, please post them in this forum thread (after verifying that it hasn't been posted or fixed already) and we will do our best to resolve those issues as soon as possible.

We hope these updates are helpful! More to come...

9/16/08 - PP Promo Ends, New Recruitment Competition Prize Structure!!:

Thanks to everyone who signed up for Preferred Player over the past week (nearly 100 players!)

We have spread the wealth on the Recruitment Competition prize structure. We now pay out the top 30 recruiters!! The top recruiters still receive considerably more points and prizes than those who recruit less, but under the new format, players will most likely get free points just for getting a few buddies who never played before to sign up.

Also, spamming other forums is prohibited. We appreciate the gesture, but we have received too many complaints to allow this to continue, and we must respect their wishes. This doesn't mean you can't advertise on someone else's forum, but please do not be inconsiderate by spamming or scamming other players to join Outwar. Just get someone who doesn't play Outwar to play for an hour, and they'll realize it's way better than whatever game they're playing!

Visit the Recruitment Blurb page for more information.

We hope you're having fun building your Masteries. Thanks again everyone and look for more special deal days coming up soon!

We added a new feature today! We call it "item scrapping"
If you have a "junk" item, that you are planning on dropping, open your backpack, click the item, and select "scrap".
If the item is something that can be scrapped, then you will be rewarded a small amount of experience for your "junk" item!
After you scrap the item, some text output will display how much experience you got for each item. Every item gives a different amount of experience.
We hope you enjoy! Be sure to refresh your backpack (push F5) if you do not see the Scrap option when you click an item.
Also, the double experience day is now complete, be ready for another one soon!

7/14/08 - E-check System Upgrade!:

We have upgraded our e-check system for you.

You can now safely save your e-check information for convenient future purchases.

Also, we are going to ask to validate your checking account in a different way after spending a certain amount. In order to be verified to use your checking account, we will make two small deposits when you’re ready to validate and ask you to input those on a validation page. If they match, you will be able to use that checking account on that RampidGaming account for future purchases just by clicking it and your next e-check purchase will yield you double the points for the regular price.

Current verified Big Spenders will be able to save checking account information, but need not worry about waiting to match the two deposits, but also, will not benefit from the double points – as you already have once.

We hope this is more convenient for you, as it helps us fight fraud and feel more comfortable awarding points through checking accounts. Head over the e-check purchasing page to check it out!

Make sure you check out Part 4 of the Backstory Quest by assisting Allesandra a quest to help Diamond City! Have a great day!

This was a very large, and meticulous update, and we are expecting to see a few bumps and bugs to come out with it. Please don't panic, and just let us know what this issue is in the official Skill Update Bug List Thread forum thread. With your help we can make this update as smooth as possible.
That's it! I leave you with a list of handy links to help you get started. Good luck and enjoy!

6/3/08 - N00bies need help!:

To help stimulate the Fabar server activity, we have launched a 1-week high-volume advertising campaign targeted at bringing brand new players to the Fabar Server.
We are asking for all Fabar players to please warmly welcome these new players to Outwar and offer them a helping hand.
If you have ever complained about Fabar being underpopulated, now is your chance to make a difference! Visit the Training Grounds and message the new players asking them if they need help. Now is a great time to make some new friends, start a new crew or recruit the new players to your current crew!
On that note, you may have noticed the new Live Help icons on the menu. Please note the difference: Live Game Help is for IN-GAME help only and Live Billing Help is for BILLING help only! Please respect the difference, as neither can help you on the other subject.
We hope this is helpful to new players and old players alike. Thanks to the Fabar players for welcoming the n00bs and thanks to Stacey, the Mods and Helpers for doing a professional job answering help requests!

6/2/08 - Blacksmith & Gems Update:

We made an exciting major update to the blacksmith page today. The price of gemming an item is now based on the item's rarity! The lower the rarity, the lower the price! You can see the entire price chart by clicking on the Blacksmith page in your menu.
Item statistic increases from gems, have also been edited so that they are the same for each gem. Previously, some gems gave more of an increase than others.
As a result, we have updated all current gemmed items, to the new gemming statistics. You may notice a very subtle change in some items.
The magic gem has been removed from the treasury for now. All magic gems owned by players have been made tradeable.
We hope you enjoy this update!

5/23/08 - New Crew Ads Page:

Released a bit earlier than expected, the new crew recruitment / ads page is online. You can find it by clicking "CREW" in your menu, then selecting, "CREW ADS". The crew ads page is a listing of crews looking for new crew members. Players looking for crews will only be able to see crews, whose level requirements they meet. Clicking the "apply" button will send the crew a message telling them that you are interested in joining them. If they are, they will get back to you! If you are a crew leader, or player with invite permission, can post an ad for your crew. You can see a "My Crew Ad" link, on the top right of the crew ad page. That link will take you to a page allowing you to post your crew ad. Hopefully this page makes it easier for crews, and player to find perfect matches! Enjoy the weekend.

5/22/08 - Free Crews!:

Crews can now be created for free, by grabbing a "crew headquarters" item in the Treasury! Free crews come with a 10 item vault, 3 member ranks, and a 5 name hitlist!

There is a similar quest set up with Ken Dral, Lord of Magic to get another Shield of Aces to use in Epic 2.0 if you do Mini-Epic 2.0 first.

5/13/08 - Outwar Update:

Thank you to everyone that has responded to the site speed thread found in the RG forums. Please continue to send us your information.
We made a fix to the crew vault, which was allowing non tradable items to be awarded to players not in the dropped item's raid. Now, to receive a non tradable item from a raid, players must be a part of the raid.
Non tradable items currently in the game, were not affected by this change. Any new, no trade items dropped, are affected. Names of players eligible to receive the item will appear in the items rollover, on the crew vault page.
Life Force of Steinfaust, Life Force of Natas, Life Force of the Corrupter, and Life Force of The Reckoning have all been made tradable!
The Staff of Immolation quest has been added back to the game, and the item "Mahamoti's Belt" got it's stats increased.
Beatdown Shirts! We will be getting the items out to Beatdown champions this week! These items will be used to collect data so we can get your shirt out to you! Look for an update possibly as soon as tomorrow!
And lastly, as always, please do not give your login information out to ANYONE. Anybody that asks you for your login information is most likely trying to steal your account.
Outwar Staff.

And lastly... over the last few weeks, we have made major changes to Outwar's hardware to improve site performance. We would like to hear from you about any speed related issues you are having now. If you have something to share, please check out the Outwar Site Speed thread.

5/8/08 - Treasury/Tradeblock Update:

We have some very important news for you today. We have made a fairly large change to the tradeblock and treasury. The two site features have merged to become one ultimate Outwar vendor. Long story short, you can now sell your items on the treasury.
To sell one of your items on the treasury, first, click your backpack icon in your toolbar. Select the tradeable item you wish to sell by left clicking it, and selecting "SELL".
You will then be redirected to "your treasury" page, where you can set a price for your item. Your item will not appear in the treasury until it has a price set.
Once you set a price for your item, it can be viewed and purchased by other players on Outwar. If your item sells, you will receive a message in your Outwar mail detailing the purchase.
The tradeshout box has also been moved to the right side of the treasury, it works just the same as it always has.
Your "15 items for sale" upgrade still works the same with this change. You can list up to 15 items in the treasury.
We are still working on advancing the search features, but for now you can use the current search box in the treasury. It has the ability to search item, and player name.
We hope you enjoy browsing the revamped treasury, and your items sell more often! -OW Staff.

5/8/08 - Tradeblock Update:

The tradeblock upgrades are complete. Expect the tradeblock to be back online by tomorrow afternoon! Thanks for sticking it out with us... _OW_Staff_

5/1/08 - Big Spender Bonus!:

We're happy to announce a bonus as an appreciation to all those who contribute their hard-earned money to Outwar in order to keep it running strong and successful.
Removing ads was a hit to the revenue, but with the support of you, our players, we've been able to persevere and continue to add new features and content to Outwar in an attempt to keep it exciting.
So as a Thank-You to our highest contributors, we have implemented a permanent Big Spender Bonus that will remain as follows:

- RGA's with an Order History of $2,000+, will receive a 2% point bonus
- RGA's with an Order History of $3,000+, will receive a 3% point bonus
- RGA's with an Order History of $5,000+, will receive a 5% point bonus!
There is a cap of 5% on this type of point bonus. If you are eligible for this bonus, you'll see this when you attempt to order Outwar Points.

Hey everyone. As you have probably noticed we have been having some lag issues since the release of the Eyes of Burn. We wanted to let you know that we are aware of the issue, and we are working on it.
We should have a time frame of when you can expect the site back to 100% speed, very soon. When we know, you will know.

4/16/08 - Outwar Update:

Hey everyone, just wanted to shoot you an update about whats been going on here at Rampid HQ.
As I'm sure you noticed, we did a lot of database work over the last few weeks. We finished up yesterday, and things so far, are looking good.
I'll spare you the technical details, but here are a couple things worth hearing: We doubled the power of the main server, and optimized/re-organized data on each game server.
A lot of the reasons why we made these changes are for our own benefit, however as a result, we should hopefully see an increase in site speed & performance.
Eyes of Burn. It's about to enter testing phases in the next couple days. I'll have an actual release date for this content update very, very soon.
Skills will be receiving an update soon after the release of the Eyes of Burn. I'll have more information on the specifics of this update, in the upcoming weeks.
Beatdown Tshirts! We ha vent forgotten about you, our champions of the Epic Beatdown. We are working on getting our shipping process together, and we will start collecting your information very soon! Hang in there.
That's it for now. -=MagicNiCK

Round 1 saw some great match-ups on all servers, starting with the Sigil server, where AM FAITH wouldn't go down without a fight. Hawt Bunnies FTW didn't win, but managed to make quite the statement by scoring an "even" 1337 points. haha good work guys. But the real story was Maximus[Brood], who look like the crew to beat, scoring a a massive 174,000 points.
Torax server saw a couple statements made by Pure Pwnage and - Incarnation -. Round 2 match ups are looking to be pretty exciting. Good job to Perdition for not giving in.
Fabar server saw some of the best action with Crazy Game People giving the Age of Morbidity all they could handle, and the Forbidden, who kept it close during day 1.
Zimbob saw TWO lower seed victories by ~Undivided~ and •Sanc†ified Socie†y•. Great work there. Round 2 looks like it's going to be quite the battle.
And last but not least was the Rancid server, who had a great score posted from the 3 seed •A•I•D•S•. Round 2 is also looking great on Rancid. Should be fun to watch.

We have a few quick updates for everyone today
- You may or may not have noticed the new preferences page we put up last Friday. Check your menu under MEMBERS for it.
You will notice that the new page does not have as many customizable options that the last one had. This is because we upgraded a lot of the code that dealt with our site styles. All our old themes need to be recoded to fit the new code layout.
For now, you will find some new, cool server specific themes in the dropdown. We are in the process of re cutting the old themes for the new page.
- The server page now has some quick ranks on it, including a new "most powerful" rank. This is a ranking of players that have the highest atk/hp. We are still working on getting an improved rankings page up.
- Several potions in the treasury have been removed, and replaced with no-trade versions. These new no-trade potions are identical "stat-wise" to their predecessors.
The "old" versions of these potions still can be obtained in quests or drop in DC (and are tradeable).
- The forums are undergoing an update, and may become inaccessible from time to time this week.

10/5/07 - Support Update:

Over the last few months, we have made a lot of progress in strengthening our support system. Much in credit to all our mods, head mods, and of course our In-Game Support Supervisor. Thanks to these guys, our support system is running better than ever.
So we wanted to remind everyone that our support system does work, and if you are having an issue, please submit a ticket. It is absolutely the fastest way to get your problem resolved.
We are also in the process of upgrading the support interface. In a few months, support will have even more features to get your issue resolved as fast as possible.
In addition, we are closing ticket submissions for hacked accounts prior to July 1st. So if you have an account that you have a problem with, which happened before July 1st, you will want to send that ticket in asap. We will no longer service hacked characters starting October 14th (characters hacked prior to July 1st).
That's it for now. Enjoy the weekend everyone.

8/17/07 - Hacked Account Queue:

This is a reminder, that if you even attempt to submit a false or embellished hacked account form, you will be suspended indefinitely. We are currently suspending people and will continue to until only legitimate Hacked Account requests remain. We track and log nearly everything and can easily spot the phonies and investigating faulty requests keeps real requests from being completed. Don't submit phony hacked account forms!!

It's a shame that we even need to make a newspost about this...

On the plus side, look for more updates and less lag in the near future!

Again, welcome to Dr. Rockwell, Security Extraordinaire and Greg, Master Content Developer

8/16/07 - Another Extremely Valuable Rampid Addition!:

Rampid would like to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Max Rockwell - our new Chief of Security. Dr. Rockwell reprogrammed Pitfall on Commodore 64 because due to frustration attempting to clear a pit that was once too long.

He is highly proficient in internet security, specializing in PHP code vulnerabilities and server access among other skills. (Outwar is PHP code). Dr. Rockwell has already attached additional layers of security onto RampidGaming and Outwar and will continue to indefinitely.

We at Rampid understand how important security is when it comes to enjoying your Outwar experience and have been taking the necessary steps to remove any possible exploits. The addition of Dr. Max Rockwell allows us to even more confidently say that your information and characters are extremely safe with us and will only be safer over time.

And please remember, be careful what you click on or download from other players!!!

8/14/07 - Quest log:

The new quest log is live! you can check it out by clicking the in the toolbar. It now shows more details about the step of the quest you are on, and, looks way cooler. Enjoy!

8/13/07 - Updates:

Hello everyone. We wanted to get everyone up to speed on what we are working on here at the Rampid Interactive office.
We are getting the gears moving on the launch of the new game server. We are expecting it to be completely live no later than 8 weeks, most likely sooner.
Meanwhile, we are in the process of making substantial amounts of changes to the early level game play. The training grounds and early zones are under complete reconstruction. Larger zone, more quests, items, and even custom artwork!
You also may have noticed several small changes to the interface of world.php. We have fixed numerous annoying world errors, and even changed the error message! (hopefully you didn't notice).
A new tutorial system that should prove to be helpful is expected to go up live in a few weeks.
In the very near future you can expect money, supplies, and bank to come down. We will be installing a new system for supplies (very similar) that should be in, in a few weeks.
A brand new attack page is nearing completion. We think you all will be excited to see the changes we have made.
The Treasury has another 20 items at least being added to it very soon. We are working on getting these in asap.
We have been having some technical issues with the trade block on weekends. We may be taking the trade block down Friday night through Sunday, if necessary.
And finally the new quest log that was promised is also nearing completion.
More updates and announcements to come soon! -=OW

8/9/07 - A Few Updates:

We are in the process of redesigning some of the front end game play. This includes things like the FAQ and tutorial systems.
We set up a wikipedia style system for outwar, you can check it out here at wiki.outwar.com. We need your help filling in content for new players!
A few days ago, old war of Z items were deleted from the Zimbob server. We were not aware that these items still existed on any server, and we apologize that they were not removed sooner.
The new server name poll has been launched on the forums. To vote, visit the thread New name poll.

8/9/07 - New In-House Content Developer Hired Full-Time!:

The moment you've all been waiting for...

We have officially hired Greg! He is an extremely talented artist, has a high gaming IQ and wants to introduce delicious content for YOU!

At any point he may ask for your opinion or help in testing if you've given Content ideas in the past and if you're lucky enough!

He will be learning all about Outwar for the next couple weeks, then learning our development tools, and finally satisfying your appetites - one level range at a time...

Keep going all Out in this War and keep your eye out for some great features to be added in the near future.

8/2/07 - Outwar Update:

Hi everyone. We wanted to start today with our overdue apology and appreciation towards you, the player.
For the past month or more, we realize that there have been several obstacles that have made Outwar frustrating, and hard to play at times.
Our site speed has not been up to par. We are currently experiencing lots of lost connection type errors, that we are still working on fixing. There was also a 2 week period with serious lag. Lag led to unfair bugs, glitches, and a general inability to play the game.
Underling growth has been down for what feels like forever. We can tell you that the getugrowth.php page will not be coming back. Instead, underling growth will be awarded automatically, nightly. You can expect this change in the upcoming weeks.
Rollbacks. We understand that rollbacks are extremely frustrating, especially when they happen so close to one another. We encountered situations were we had no choice but to execute rollbacks.
Hacked accounts. Although we have restored a tremendous amount of characters, we realize that some of you might not have received everything that you lost.
On the whole, we want to apologize for our lack of quality, and say thank you for sticking it out with us. We are just as fed up with these issues as you are. As a result, we are making changes to correct everything, and leave the lag, confusion, and cheating behind us for good.
We have GREAT things in store, and we are starting to get the wheels rolling again.
Below is a list of updates, and upcoming features and ideas:
- Masteries have been removed from profile, while we install new ranking systems.
- You can now log into the forums from www.rampidgaming.com.
- Most potions are now activatable when logged into trustee accounts.
- There is a new popup box that eliminates the "middle page" when trying to attack another player.
- Popup windows, like your equipment, are now draggable.
- Speaking of popup windows, we are adding a popup for your quest log, with some advanced quest log features.
- We are close to hiring more in-house help for new content. So you can expect new quests, item sets, and raid ideas in the upcoming months.
- As you may already know, there is a new server being launched in very near future. One interesting twist with the new server, is that it will have its own point economy, as in, you cannot transfer points from other servers there. Each character you have, will have his own amount of points. The launch date (and name!) for this server will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
- We don't fill you in much on our backend systems, but we can tell you that we have made significant changes that allow us to work faster and more efficient in regards to your character.
- And finally, we have a awesome new attack page almost ready to rock. (long overdue lol)
Thanks again, and we plan on making all this up to you (and we will) as soon as we can. OW STAFF

7/26/07 - Outwar Update:

Hey everyone. We have a lot of overdue announcements and updates today. We know the servers have been kind of screwy the past few weeks, however, we should have a good grasp on things now. We are sorry for the downtime.
- Broken flasks from the round 1 of the War of Zhul, were fixed last week.

Look for lots of great improvements coming very soon.

7/18/07 - Crew and Personal Hitlists:

Hi all, you should now see the Crew Hitlist in the main menu, under the Crew dropdown if you're in a crew. Also, on the Crew Hitlist and your Personal Hitlist you should see attack icons next to player names so you no longer have to go to someone's profile before attacking.

7/13/07 - Point Store Upgrades merged to the Treasury:

Most of the Point Store Upgrades have been converted to a more Role-Playing style in the Treasury. Check them out - they're great!!

Also, be sure to give your opinions in some of the recent Forum threads created by the Admins. All productive opinions welcome...

7/12/07 - New additions, fixes, and more!:

Hello everyone. Thank you for your patience with the profile pictures. The new photo upload page will be live today. The new page will help kill a lot of the lag you may have experienced over the last week.
We found and fixed the issue with putting items on the trade block.
Boss Spawn deaths and drops. We found and fixed another bug that is screwing with no loot drops on Boss Spawns. We do not anticipate any new issues from the Boss Spawns.
There are a few new links on world.php. Just under the WSAD icons, you will find a link that allows you to teleport to your "home" bar. You can set which bar you would like to be able to teleport to by going to the bar, and while inside the room with the bartender, click the link that appears that says "Make dusty glass tavern my home!"
The underling growth page (getugrowth.php) is back online. You can access it once again through your profile.
And lastly... The devil is back for chaos once again. You can find her at the crossroads.
Have Fun!

Stoneraven is Outwar's first small player content, that will require 5 players in the same crew to go and complete the quest line at the same time. To go try Stoneraven out, you need a Stoneraven Supply Crate, which can be found in the Outwar Treasury. For more answers, head to Stoneraven FAQ

4/11/07 - 5 NEW GUARDIANS!:

The first part of the War of Zhul is finally being launched! 5 new guardians have appeared in Castle Kilanthrope... these guardians are difficult and will require your best 15 players to dispatch... Also, they will be dealing out ELEMENTAL damage along with their regular blows, so gather up as much resistance gear as you can and face them in battle! Goodluck and Happy Hunting!

4/9/07 - Happy Easter!:

Visit the King Bunny in Diamond City and do your very special Easter Quest! He is in the crossroads, but you will have to find where the secret hideout is!

Goodluck and Happy Hare Hunting!

4/8/07 - Easter Rewards:

We will launch a late Easter quest for you on Monday. Please don't make 100 characters thinking we are going to award them all with a present, you are wasting your time. Congrats on 300,000 total characters though =) Hope we can destroy the lag for good, we have made some headway finding out what was causing it, thank you everyone for your help. Oh, look for the rest of the game helpers to be hired in the upcoming week and for the real time chat support system to be launched on Torax, Fabar and Zimbob!

4/4/07 - Raid Update!:

We made a pretty sweet update to the god's loot tables today.
All gods have been updated to drop points! If your crew defeats a god, points will be awarded to your crew's point bank!
The points drop along with the other items, and have no effect on item drop-rates. Points drop every time, for every kill.
We hope you enjoy this added feature.

4/4/07 - Congratulations!:

Congratulations to Torax server and Disciples of Shadows for taking down Nar Zhul. After 9 months of being almost COMPLETELY unscathed he finally was taken down by 40 of Outwar's most elite players. Congratulations, and enjoy the loot!

3/30/07 - Noob Pownage Fixed:

As most of you know, the 24 hour buff you get for sending out your secret link "Noob Pownage" was dropping when another skill wore off. This problem has been fixed and we encourage you to resume sending out your secret link to obtain this buff without fear that it will just drop when another skill wears off. Head to your members page, grab your secret link and go POWN SOME NOOBS!

3/28/07 - Auctioneer Special Deal Ended!:

Congratulations to all who won the special items off the auctioneer... they will be being taken off shortly, though you may see them reappear for sale, they will be taken down tonight, and all future bids on them will be null and void...

And if you're curious, the top 2 items sold were Nom Shartu on torax, and the Proton Chaingun on torax... congratulations to everyone who won items!

3/28/07 - New Additions:

Couple of new things today.
First, we made a new change to the crew point bank. Crew leaders can now award players in the crew, points, from the crew point bank.
Crew leaders can use this feature by selecting the "point bank" option under CREW in the menu. You will see the option to award points underneath the deposit box.
You will only see this option if you are a crew leader.
Second, we have added a new page in the POINT CENTER menu. This page, will be used to award your character prizes from any promotions that may be running on Outwar.
For example, right now, if you make a point purchase with us within the next 24 hours, you will be awarded a prize bag! To claim the prize bag after your purchase... log on as the character you would like to receive the prize. Then, go to the "Free gifts!" page under the POINT CENTER MENU.
If you have gifts to claim, they will appear on the page!
We hope you enjoy the new updates... Look for more content to be coming very very soon.

3/28/07 - Auctioneer Time Extended!:

We have extended the time on all the auctions by 4 hours so people will have time to get in any last bids on them since we figured ending them at 4:30pm might screw some people up. So tell your friends they have another 4 hours to get their bids in now!

3/22/07 - New Outwar Treasury:

We have created a new vendor shop! You can find it in your menu under marketplace! Click Marketplace in your menu, then click Treasury! Have fun!

3/21/07 - Auction Block Craziness!:

For one time only, we have placed some very, very rare items on the auction block!
Head to the auction block and check them out!
We are also working on updating the layout for this page! Check back a bit later!

3/20/07 - Scratch Tickets!:

We have opened a scratch ticket store in the menu, under Casino! The scratch tickets cost points to play, and give you a chance to make more points!
Head to the casino, or click here, to check out the new scratch tickets!

3/19/07 - Tradeblock:

The tradeblock is coming back online for some full-scale testing. Please feel free to utilize it, but keep in mind that it may be taken down for further maintenance if needed.

3/17/07 - Vote for Outwar:

Support outwar.com and vote for us on gamesites200 by clicking here: http://www.gamesites200.com/mpog/in.php?id=1852 and then click the "Click here to vote for Outwar.com" button. The more votes we get the more traffic we will get from that site and the more new players you will have to pizzown.

3/15/07 - Preferred Player Rebilling:

Some of your Preferred Player subscriptions have been canceled by us in order to smooth out our rebilling process for you. If you wanted to maintain your PP Status, simply resubscribe for PP like before. This time, it should be much quicker, since those who have previously signed up for PP have already had their identity verified through our RampidPay Fraud Protection Division.

Other players will be asked to supply some extra information when logging into an Outwar character that previously had PP.

Some awesome new features coming soon... pwn on!

3/14/07 - Updates:

We have been having some issues with the point transfers and tradeblock over the last few weeks. We are working hard to discover the issue, and we will get these pages back online as soon as we have a solution.
In other news, you can now navigate through Diamond City by using the w,s,a,d buttons on your keyboard!
Also, a majority of the room images have been upgraded. We hope you enjoy.

3/8/07 - Adrenaline:

Due to an inconsistency issue, we have temporarily removed the skill Adrenaline. Please be patient, we will resolve this issue as soon as possible.

3/6/07 - Quick Note on Polls:

We will be running polls more frequently now. Click the -Share Your Outwar Opinions- link to cast your vote for the current question. Rampid Staff will be strongly considering the results of posted questions - so if you have an opinion, let it be known!

3/2/07 - Updates:

Just an update on a few things that have been added/fixed recently.
- We had to temporarily disable trading between characters tagged to the same rampid gaming account. We will be working on a fix for this over the next few days.
- Raid mobs in Diamond City, now are displayed in green, when listed in the room you are in.
- A couple corrections were made to your preferences page. We also fixed the default theme, so you can change your theme back to the default.
- We fixed a few inconsistencies with the Zimbob server and other servers. We are keeping an eye on this situation and are doing our best to make sure things stay the same across all servers.
- Rollover bugs were fixed on the cast_skills page, and tradeblock.

2/28/07 - Recent Lag and Site Speed:

Sorry about the recent lag, we had some issues with the release of the new Secret Link System. The site speed should be back to normal now and you may resume sending out your secret links to get the special 24 hour buff "Noob Pwnage". We will be monitoring the speed of the site closely over the next few days and will be taking measures to help speed things up as much as possible. One thing that we do ask is to those who are using automated programs to get clicks to your secret link - you know who you are... we are asking you to please stop. All this is doing is causing extra load to the server and it's really not necessary. It's easy enough to get 10 legit clicks. Please play by the rules and don't risk getting your account that you worked so hard on suspended for something so dumb. To everyone else, thank you for spreading Outwar across the internet once again and we hope you enjoy the extra buff you are rewarded with for doing so!

2/27/07 - Secret Links Are Back!:

After a long time of "outdated text" we have finally brought the Secret Link system back! We have updated the Members Page to accurately describe how the new system works. Please read the Secret Link FAQ which has also been updated. You will now be able to get a special buff for bringing new traffic to Outwar. Pay close attention to the rules you MUST follow in order for your link click to count! You will also notice a new "Profile Link" on the Members Page. We encourage you to use this link to show off all your hard work. We hope you all enjoy the new buff, thank you for helping us bring in new Outwar players!

2/25/07 - Preferred Player Updates:

We fixed an error that was not allowing players to sign up for PP - anyone who called in should be all set to try again. Any subscriber who was not awarded their 100 points when PP returned should have received those. Also, if we are missing any billing information from you because of an early bug in the system - when you log in we will require that you follow the link provided to update your information before continuing to play. We apologize for making you provide this information twice, but for most people all it will require is for you to update the expiration date on the CC you have on file with us. Thanks for sticking with us, we think the system is solid now so please have no fear about signing up and enjoy!

2/22/07 - New Support Helpers:

Thank you all for your applications. We have begun accepting them for players on the Sigil server. If you have been accepted you will get an email with details about the position you have been hired for. The new support page has not been linked yet, so please take this time to read ALL materials sent and to get familiar with the new system. The new support page will be linked up as soon as ALL the Sigil approval emails have been sent out. Torax, Fabar and Zimbob servers will be done next. We thank everyone who has offered a helping hand, even if you do not get an approval email in the next few days - your application WILL remain on file and you may be called on at any time!

2/20/07 - Outwar Support Solution:

We have put together a new Outwar Support Program. To make it happen we are calling on dedicated, hard working Outwar Players who want to contribute and offer a helping hand. If you would like to participate please read through the new Moderator Application Page. Details of the program and what your specific job, powers and responsibilities are be will be sent to you if your application is accepted. Thank you for sticking with us while we had time to address the issues you all brought to our attention =)

2/19/07 - Preferred Player Recurring Billing 2:

Please note that those signed up for Preferred Player will automatically be rebilled unless the subscription is canceled. Look for the link to cancel a PP subscription at the same spot where you subscribed.

2/19/07 - Preferred Player Recurring Billing:

If you signed up for Preferred Player please follow this link and confirm that you have an expiration date set for your card. If there is no date, we can not rebill your card and you will lose your Preferred Player subscription after your month of service and will have to reorder.

Thank you for your understanding and patience this past week.

Happy Hunting

2/13/07 - Preferred Player Billing:

To all those subscribing to Preferred Player -
1) Do not be alarmed if you are failing the validation quiz. The quiz has been finicky recently and we are working with our partners to figure out why.
2) For those who have been validated for RampidGaming purchases in the past, we apoligize if you need to be validated again. Not everyone will need to be recalled. This will all be smoothed out soon.
3) And lastly, for those concerned that they have paid for Preferred Player, but have not received the benefits, this is because you are waiting for RampidPay to validate your identity. Your card has not actually been charged - just authorized to make the purchase. Whenever there is a pending charge, your card will not actually be charged until you receive what you paid for. If, by chance, you are certain that you were charged and not just authorized to make the charge, and you did not receive what you paid for, please e-mail [email protected] with a detailed message of what happened.
Thanks for your cooperation and enjoy the return Preferred Player!

2/12/07 - Preferred Player!:

The long awaited preferred player subscription is back! Head to Rampidgaming.com to sign up! As an added bonus, characters signing up in the next 48 hours will receive a prize bag item as a free gift! Head to Rampidgaming.comlogin and sign up!!!!

2/11/07 - Hacked Accounts:

As always - someone hacking your account because they guessed your password, tricked you into giving it to them, installed a key logger on your computer and stole it etc. is and always will always be a problem. No matter how much we tell you to protect your password, there is a small chance a hacker looking to steal your gear will get it from you. Throughout the next week we will be spending extra time to help out ANYONE who has had one of their accounts hacked into. Because you no longer have access to your account if it has been hacked it is hard to initiate an in-game support ticket to get this resolved. As a result we have created a special email address we will ask you to use in case this happens or has happened to you in the past. To anyone who has been hacked and has not been able to retrieve the account back, please email [email protected] with the following information: 1) Your Rampid Gaming Username 2) Your real name, telephone number, and address you listed on the account 3) Detailed description of who you think hacked your account, where items that were on your account may have went, evidence of who hacked your account if you have any etc. The more accurate information you provide the faster we will be able to resolve the situation. We encourage you to spread the word and let friends know that may have quit outwar because they got their account hacked to come back and send an email to the above address. We promise every email will be read and we will do everything in our power to return accounts to the rightful owners. To those who have not been hacked - make sure to keep your password safe and never give it out to anyone! For ultimate protection use a combination of letters and numbers NOT using words from the dictionary. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe where no one will find it!

2/7/07 - Outwar on Myspace:

If any of you players out there have Myspace accounts, give us a friend request on:
http://www.myspace.com/outwardotcom
Be our first comment!

2/7/07 - Payment Processing Update:

For everyone who was inquiring, we now accept American Express. You should not have anymore problems. If you do, e-mail [email protected].

2/6/07 - Profile Changes:

We made a few changes to the character profile page. Equipment and backpacks have been turned into links like those in the toolbar. Game stats and medals have been moved into the right column. We understand these changes will take some getting used to, but the equipment and backpack links will greatly speed up the site and take care of much of the lag we've experienced.

2/5/07 - Site Speed:

We found a bug this morning that was causing the site to run slooooowly. It's fixed now and we do not expect it to slow back down.
PS, get your raid gear together, some surprises coming later this week :o_O

2/3/07 - Site Mechanics:

We are aware of the Item Rollover display issues you may be experiencing... we are implementing a new item rollover to replace the old one, so please stick with us during this transition.

TIP: Avoid, if you can, buying items off the trade block unless you know exactly what they are while the rollover is disabled to minimize any scamming that may occur

1/31/07 - Gameplay Update:

To access Zimbobist or Fabarist Headquarters in the Badlands you must have the respective loyalty emblems either equipped or in your backpack. If you are stuck in that area now, please submit a support ticket or contact a moderator to be portaled out!

1/29/07 - Point Ordering Update:

Hello everyone, as you may or may not have noticed - we have been making changes to how you buy points for quite some time now. This system is NOW operating "bug free" and offers the top level of security and customer service for your web based transactions. If you would like to try the online ordering process for the first time we encourage you to do so by clicking "POINT CENTER" in the menu and then "BUY POINTS". If you find any errors in the system or need help along the way - please report to the current online operator using the "Live Support" button that is now available to you while ordering. Points will be awarded to anyone who helps out. Thanks!

1/19/07 - Important Info:

Due to a bug on the Zimbob server, all non-unique items (Random Diamond City Drops) with HP at or over 225 have been removed from the game. All gems spent on these items have been refunded. Please note, that this has not affected God drops, Sets, or other Special items.

1/18/07 - SMS Validation Box:

The SMS Validation Box is back up and is working better than ever. More updates coming soon... Enjoy!

1/10/07 - Fixes:

Hey everyone... We patched up a few issues today.
- The tradeblock should now be working across all 4 servers.
- You should be able to access trustee accounts now without error.
- Zimbob server now receives news post messages.
- Security words no longer need to be case sensitive.

1/10/07 - SMS Points:

As promised, we are in close contact with TXT Nation regarding the week of missed points being awarded. Keep your eye out for your missing points over the next couple days. We will make an announcement when we feel we have dealt with all the missing SMS points, but please do not send in new e-mails if you have already sent in your request.

Also, the SMS Validation box should be reactivated later today.

Thanks for your patience!

1/8/07 - Pending Transactions...?:

Hey Outwar!
Several players have notified us of the inability to make purchases due to -Current Pending Transactions-. This post is a sweep to find everyone having this issue, so you can be on your way to accumulating points, strengthening your characters and hurting your enemies.

Please follow these instructions to see if you have any pending transactions:
1) Make sure you are logged into your Rampid Gaming Account.
2) Go to the My Account Page
3) Click the -View my order history- link.
4) If you have any transactions in the -Pending:- section dated from 12/20/06 - 12/30/06, please e-mail [email protected] using the Subject -PENDING TXN PROBLEM- with your RampidGaming Name, the Type of transaction it is, the exact Date and Amount.

1/5/07 - Outwar Update:

Thanks everyone for your e-mails regarding SMS Payments. We are 99.9% certain that we have located the previous problems with SMS and as far as we know SMS is now working perfectly. Make sure to carefully follow all instructions when purchasing through SMS.
For those who e-mailed SMS issues, know that we are working with TXT Nation to get you what you deserve and will have further instructions & updates soon. If you want to expedite this process, send all evidence (Date, Your Name, OW Acct Name & Server, Cell Phone #, and Code) of your previous SMS Transactions to [email protected]

In other news, the Trade Block, Blacksmith and Point Transfers are reenabled - go nuts!

1/4/07 - Important announcement:

The Sigil and Fabar servers have been rolled back to Friday the 29th at 12:01am EST. The Zimbob and Torax server has not been rolled back. (Please excuse the previous news post, the Torax server HAS NOT been rolled back.)
This means, if you have a character on any of the 2 rolled back servers, that character will have all the things it had on the morning of the 29th. If you created a new character on Sigil or Fabar from the 29th on, that character has been lost.
Characters on Zimbob and Torax will be the same as you left them on Tuesday night before the site went down.
Any credit card/txtnation transaction that you may have made has been re awarded to your account.
As additional result of this rollback, active players on Zimbob and Torax may find more points on their Rampid Gaming account than they actually had.
As always, we try our hardest to avoid these situations, but due to circumstances that were beyond repair, we were forced to roll these servers back. We know that many of you worked hard on your characters over the weekend, and we offer our apologies.
You will find all the Gods spawned, and the sorry stone quest is re-available from Clint Westwood in DC.
In addition, we would like to say that it is very important to change your Rampid Gaming password regurarly and supply a valid email address. If you have not changed your password in some time, and or do not have a valid email address on file with us, please take a minute of time and visit www.rampidgaming.com and make these changes.
Thats it!
-Rampid Staff

We will be opening up the Zimbob server for beta tests tonight around 5:00pm Outwar Time. You will be free to make accounts on the server once we open it up. Please be advised however that this is only the BETA test of the server launch and all accounts created on the server WILL BE DELETED afterwards. Enjoy!

- Fixed a bug that was displaying old crew territory bonuses.
- Resetting skills in the pointstore should now be working properly.
- Disenchanting items from pointstore should now be working properly.

12/13/06 - Outwar Customers:

Thank you for your patience while we get to all the accounts that are owed points from a previous transaction. We apologize for the delay but ensure you that you will get your points if you paid for them! It may temporarily require phone call verification to award these points if it can not be done automatically. Again we apologize for the inconvenience, we will announce when all payment issues are fixed.

12/5/06 - Fixes:

Hey everyone. We hope you are all getting settled ok with the new account management system. Here are some of the bugs that have been worked out in the past few days.
- Disappearing point transfers. The point transfer queue in our back-end had stalled. So if you tried to send somebody points in the past couple days they would appear to have vanished. The transfer queue has been restarted and point transfers from the last few days will be getting sent out today.
- Trustee access should now be up and running as intended.
- Fixed a bug that was setting accounts as inactive. All accounts have been cleared of inactive status and should be receiving benefits per turn.
- Blacksmith is back up and available.
- Fixed an error message on signup.php
- The forgot login link on RampidGaming.com works correctly now.
- Potentially fixed a bug that allowed you to attack members of your crew.
We are still trying to get to everyone in the support queue. Please bear with us as we have received a high volume of tickets. We are also in the process of installing a new back-end system that will greatly increase response time to tickets, during the next few days.

12/1/06 - Upgrade Support Issues..:

We are working hard to sort out all problems resulting from the rollback and the Outwar/RampidGaming Upgrade. Hang in there over the next couple of days - we will get to everyone.

Note about Payment Verification: If you were told that you would never need to be verified again through the RampidPay system, we might have lied and you may need to be reverified one time for RampidGaming. But we will not be changing the Character Management process anytime soon. This means that you will only need to be verified once for your RampidGaming account instead of for each individual Outwar Account.

We apologize for any frustrations and thank you for your patience, it will all be sorted out soon enough - and better than ever.

11/24/06 - Important announcement:

On Monday November 27th at 4:00pm EST, we will be bringing down the Outwar game servers to install new updates to your accounts. We are anticipating that the servers will be down for 2 to 4 hours.
The update involves changes being made to the login process. There will be an information page coming very soon detailing all changes, and outlining information that will be important for you to know.

11/16/06 - DC Bug:

We are aware of the Diamond City "can you fly?" error that is going around. We are actively working on a fix. In the meantime, to access DC use this link http://sigil.outwar.com/world.php?room=1. (change the correct server of course.) That should allow you to get back into DC. Trainer links are also down at the moment. Look for a fix this afternoon.

10/18/06 - Announcement:

Use of automated programs by a user or a crew is against Outwar Terms of Service. If you are in a crew that is using your account in an automated program, you will be suspended along with the rest of the crew. If you suspect your crew leader is using illegal programs, contact a game moderator and leave the crew.

Automated programs are cheating and slow down the site significantly so that other people cannot play the game. Do NOT let people run programs on your account since it will jeopardize the legitimacy of your character. You will not receive a warning if you use a program, you WILL be suspended!

10/16/06 - Notice:

On your player profile, we have temporarily removed the "completed adventures" section, while we work on a new update.

10/16/06 - Game update:

The eternal guardian guarding Nar Zhuls throne has been significantly weakened. Go skill up and try him now =)

10/16/06 - New Feature:

The ability to change your character name in the point store will be removed on Wednesday, the 25th of October.

10/4/06 - Announcement:

For the next 24 hours mobs in Diamond city will offer double experience when conquered. This is in attempt to recover any lost growth you incurred from the rollback...

Also, check around Diamond City for a special character with a gift to aid you in your battles =)

10/3/06 - Welcome Back:

Well, its been a rough couple of days for everyone we are sure. Thanks for all your patience during the extended downtime.
Unfortunately, Outwar had to be rolled back to last Wednesday, September 27th, sometime in the morning. This means that your account will be in the exact state that it was last Wednesday morning. This also means if you created an account in this time period, it no longer exists.
If you made a point transaction anytime between the 27th and when the site came down, you will find those points back on your account. This also includes double points, and prize bags.
We realize this may be a major inconvenience for some players, but please know we tried everything in our power to restore the game without rolling back. This was the absolute best we could do.
Feel free to take your anger out on the OW staff and its servers by kicking our ass. We are currently spawned in Diamond City. Also, all the Gods have been spawned, and we will re-spawn any beaten gods tomorrow.
We have done everything to ensure this issue never shows up again. Thanks again for sticking it out with us.
- OW Staff.

Look for more information to come very soon. To discuss further, or submit any other skill bugs you may come across. Please continue discussion in http://forums.outwar.com/showthread.php?t=16281.
Also, we have not forgotten about the "skills disappearing" bug. Several changes, and test code has gone in, and we are still unable to locate what may be causing the problem. We do believe we may have slowed it down a bit as we have seen less occurrences. If you have any additional information, please post it in the thread mentioned above.
- DC now drops rings with more than 1% income. ::fingers crossed:: :)

9/6/06 - Automated Program Use:

This is a reminder that Outwar.com does not allow the use of automated programs or scripts on the site.
We have several means of tracking whether or not your account is using such programs. If you use an automated program, its only a matter of time before you are caught.
The newest trend we have seen is “Paying players to DCAA my account”.
For the past few months we have come across players who are paying other players points, to hit Diamond City for them. The next day, that player usually signs back on to find his account suspended. Why? Because the person whom he/she paid, used an automated program to move around Diamond City and attack mobs. DO NOT GIVE YOUR LOGIN TO ANYBODY. Players who claim to “DC for you” will use automated programs on your account, and get you suspended.
WHAT IS AN AUTOMATED PROGRAM?
The most common executable threats we have seen reported are:
- Diamond City Auto Attacker / Mover.
- Auto attacking and raid joining programs.
- Guardian alerter and Outwar multi tools.
- Programs that promise you a way to create or copy (aka "dupe") useful items
The use of any of these programs, if they actually DO what they claim, can place your account in a serious violation of our Terms of Use, which may result in permanent account closure. An auto program, aka, "executable" program is something you download and then run as its own program - as opposed to opening a file or a folder. You can tell if a program is an executable if its file name ends in EXE. You can also right-click the file and choose "Properties." If the "File Type" says "Application" then that file IS an executable and you should always scan it before you run it.
Hackers and account thieves often put their viruses, keyloggers, etc into executable files and then make those files very appealing to Outwar players, in an effort to trick users into downloading and running their programs. They pretend to be programs that our players would want.
The bottom line is that we want Outwar to be a fun and safe environment for all players. We are doing everything we can to make this a great game but we also need help from you, the players. Using automated programs is cheating, unfair to others, and worst of all, slows down the speed of Outwars servers. Do everyone a favor and discontinue your use now.
Rampid interactive is committed to maintaining an environment of fair play in outwar. We have a zero-tolerance policy for cheating or hacking of any kind. Players caught using an auto program to automate any of their characters' actions will have their characters removed and their account banned. They will not receive a warning. This is clearly stated in the outwar terms of service.

9/5/06 - Update:

A new zone has opened up!
Head to Stizzy to find Ken Drals Castle. This has replaced the invasion events and now is a stock place where you can hunt for any needed quest items. Also, rare mobs exist there that have twice the drop rate of quest items that the regular characters have...

HAPPY HUNTING!

9/5/06 - Bug Hunt:

We are looking for more information on bugs you have encountered with crew medals. Please visit http://forums.outwar.com/showthread.php?t=16401 if you have any information to share. Thanks!

9/1/06 - Important Rule Update:

Due to the pattern in which crews have been defeating gods in Diamond City, we have re-instated 2 rules.
Crew Jumping. Your account is now only allowed to join a new crew, if it has not left a crew within the last 24 hours.
Personal God Cap. Your account is only allowed to defeat 10 gods each week.
We hope these 2 rules will help level the playing field for taking down these new gods. Our apologies for not seeing these problems in advance.

9/1/06 - Updates and Fixes:

Due to the amount of "bugs" with the skills lately, I have also started a specific skill problems thread in the forums. http://forums.outwar.com/showthread.php?t=16281. If you have any input on the skills, please shoot us your ideas and problems in this thread.
- Accepting ally requests can now be protected by security word using security.php
- The price of disenchanting an item in the pointstore has been changed to reflect the actual price.
- Security updates have been added to your change security word page.

9/1/06 - Quick Fixes:

- Ally_request.php no longer displays ally requests from deleted accounts.
- Fixed a bug in Outwar Messages that was displaying multiple slashes in replies.
- Fixed a bug that was awarding parents experience for underling clicks.

8/31/06 - Fraud Update:

There are a number of fraudulent SMS passwords going around right now on the site. Please be aware that use of these passwords is a violation of the Terms of Service AND Federal Law due to the method that they were obtained. Use of these passwords will result in a permanent ban on your account. This is your only warning.

8/31/06 - Bug Sweep:

Please check out http://forums.outwar.com/showthread.php?t=16225. We will be collecting information on known Outwar bugs. If you have one to submit, please give us a post in the forum topic. We are going to try and fix as many as possible today. ThankS!

8/26/06 - Non-US CC Users:

We apologize, but we will not be able to verify your purchases until early next week. If a charge shows up as pending on your statement, it will stay pending until you receive your points or the transaction is canceled.
Thanks for your patience!

8/25/06 - Improved Security Measures::

If you have not already noticed, Outwar has recently implemented several fraud prevention techniques. In particular, there are concerns about supplying your Social Security # when first using E-Checks or CCs. Currently, only U.S. citizens must supply their SSN - Non-US citizens can still purchase points with a CC. Whenever you submit the first contact information page containing your SSN, it will be transmitted via an advanced jumbled encryption in order to prevent unauthorized interception. Also, rest assured, we DO NOT SAVE your full SSN. As always, please alert Admins or Mods of all fraudulent activity.

Your help and understanding is appreciated in this venture,
_Outwar Staff_

8/22/06 - Banner Competition Update::

Submissions for Outwar's Banner Competition are due by the end of Tuesday, 8/29. Some great banners have already been entered, so the competition is fierce. If you need a refresher or haven't heard about the competition yet, visit Bannercomp.php for the details. Good luck!

8/17/06 - Announcement:

Kro Shuk, Doomslayer has appeared in Diamond City... this extremely difficult Guardian has a maximum of 10 raiders and can be found in the Lair of Nar Zhul... He is one of Nar Zhuls most faithful Lieutenants and will give even the most veteran players trouble.

Good luck!... you will need it

8/16/06 - Major Update:

Lots of new things going on with Outwar today, here is a list of what is new:

Bloodchill the Grizzly now has more items available to be found when he is conquered. This should make instances of him not dropping anything a thing of the past.

The maximum value of Augments has been added to prevent augs from being overly powerful from the uber gods. This will NOT affect 99.9% of augments in the game.

Account Deletion after a certain period of time has been suspended indefinitely. No longer do you have to worry about going on vacation for a few months and then returning with your account being deleted.

Finally, 5 new guardians have been added to Diamond City. These guardians are lower levels and require a minimum of 20 people to join the raid before launching. There is also a maximum of 60 members like the rest of the raids. These raids are intended for smaller crews to get equipped and experienced faster in order to give the stronger crews more competition!

Hope you all like the New Updates!

8/9/06 - Introducing: Outwar Banner Competition:

7/17/06 - Pages back online:

Crew raiding, and the tradeblock pages will become available again in the next 10 minutes or so. We appreciate your patience.

7/17/06 - Update:

Just wanted to give everyone an update on when certain pages will be coming back live.
Crew raiding pages will stay down while we remove all items from the game that were dropped from the gods over the weekend. If you have one of these items on your account or crew, just leave it there and we will be grabbing it in the next few hours. If you have gemmed the item, you will find a refund of points on your account. This process will take some time.
Tradeblock will also be down until the item removal process is complete.
We apologize for the extended downtime.

7/14/06 - Important Forum Thread:

If you care to discuss the newest changes to Outwar, please head to the forums in the Opinions / Complaints Section Titled "New Adventure System"

7/13/06 - Major Update:

All crew raids have been moved into Diamond City and its surrounding areas. This includes all repeatable raids and guardians. To join or start a raid against one of these creatures you must be in the same room as them. The respawn on these creatures has not changed and will be much like it was before.

Also the Crew Guardian Cap has been raised from 4 to 10 guardians. This is to promote activity and allow crews to perform to their potential.

5 New Guardians have been added to the game: Ebliss, Fallen Angel of Despair, Brutalitar, Lord of the Underworld, Dreg nor, Keeper of the Infernal Essence, King Ashnar Lord of the Unliving, and Nar Zhul, Slayer of All... these 5 guardians are the most difficult creatures ever to come to outwar.

6/30/06 - Security Update:

When receiving points from another account, you must now Accept the transaction before you will receive the points. This is to prevent players from being suspended from receiving Fraudulent Points.

A new quest pack for the Badlands expansion is about 90% complete. We hope to be able to get this to you this week. Keep an eye out.
That's all for now. Have fun.

- Outwar Chat. We know it is still down. We made more progress today on getting it back online. We expect the chat to be back online any day now.
- Global Swear Filter. We are working on a filter that will run across every page of the site, blocking as many curse words as possible. We will allow users to turn the filter on and off from the preferences page.

1/27/06 - Announcement:

Hey everyone. Sorry for the recent lack of information. I wanted to get everyone back up to speed on what has been going on in the background of Outwar.
- New skill system. Expect to see more information in the forums on Monday about the new skill system and nano orb updates.
- New pants slot. New pants will be going in with the new skills.
- Preferred Player. We realize it has been quite a long time, but we promise PP is coming back very very soon.
- Site speed. We have corrected a few issues with the lag from the previous weeks. However we are still looking at some other problem areas that may be affecting site performance.
- New swear filters.
- New preferences page.
Look for some new information Monday. Have a great weekend.

1/19/06 - Announcement:

The deadline for skill orb update has been pushed back again to a date yet to be determined. We apologize for the incorrect information. Please look for an update in the next few days on a new date for the "bind on equip"conversion.

1/18/06 - Announcement:

We are aware of the major Lag issue on the site and are working to correct it.

1/13/06 - Skill Orb Update:

Ok... Here is what is going to happen with skill orbs. We are no longer making them NOTRADE.
On Wednesday January, 18th at 4:00 PM EST, we will be making all skill orbs bind on equip. What that means, is when a skill orb drops, it is tradable. That skill orb becomes non tradable once you equip it to your account.
So on Wednesday, we will unequip all skill orbs, install the new setting, then you may do what you wish with your orbs.

1/12/06 - Important Announcement:

The Skill Orbs to notrade date has been pushed back. On Wednesday January, 18th at 4:00 PM EST, we will be making all skill orbs NOTRADE. This will give you time to move them to what account you might want them on.

1/12/06 - New Ad Format:

The new registration and login page ad is on a trial run. We are trying to determine if this ad format is worth running or not. The company we are working with ensures us they are NOT collecting data. It is only being used to automatically fill in form fields in the offer being presented. This way, if you so chose to participate in the offer, most of the information is already filled in for your coinvience. We apologize for any slow downs this trial run may cause you to experience when you login in.

1/11/06 - Fury's Rage Ring.:

We have addressed the problem with the Fury's Rage / 21st Birthday Mug issue. Turns out that the mug and the ring shared the same identification information in our backend, meaning, they were the same item.
Anyway, we have fixed the stats on all Fury's Rage rings, and turned all 21st B-day mugs into Fury's Rage rings. So in re-cap:
- Fury's Rage stats have been fixed.
- All 21st B-day mugs have been morphed into Fury's Rage rings.
- 21st B-day mug has been removed from the game.

1/9/06 - Announcments:

- Tradeblock should now be sending all message alerts.

1/5/06 - Forum Update:

Check out http://forums.outwar.com/showthread.php?t=7921 and read about the new skill updates.

1/5/06 - Announcments:

Hey hey everyone. Lots of stuff to catch you up on. We hope you are all enjoying some of the new features we have been implementing over the past week. I'll preview you in on a few things we have cooking here in a min, but first, here's a list of stuff that have been done to the site over the past few days.
- The new Outwar message center has been launched! We are still working on getting crew messages, block list, and some other interesting functionality in there. We hope you enjoy the new layout.
- Alright, the item stats baseincome and luck, have been removed from game-play. After some investigation it appeared that base income was actually removed a long time ago, but was still dropping on augments and wrapped gifts. We do realize that this has created some "blank" items in the game. Do what you wish with them, but we suggest simply dropping them so you can free up some backpack room. In closing, as most of you know, both these item stats were pretty useless, and now that they are removed, you have a better chance of getting items with stats that you actually want. cheers.
- Along with the removal of the two item statistics, we have reduced the income bonus numbers on all items. The reduction was very small and you should not notice much of a change. In the near future, we will be looking into making more money changes in the game. Stay tuned.
- We are near completion of our skill system renovation. We think you will be extremely happy with the results. I will be posting a listing of changes on the forums later today so you all can get an idea of whats going to be changing in more detail. We also will be looking to hear some feedback from everyone. Look for a post later today.
- In addition to the skill system news, I wanted to give some advanced warning about skill orbs. On Friday, January 13th, we will be making all skill orbs NOTRADE. This will give you time to move them to what account you might want them on. Also know, in the new skill system, we will be removing some skills that are simply not being used by players anymore. These skills will also be removed from skill orbs. You will be able to see which skills are being removed later today in the forum post, but know that pretty much the only skills that are getting removed are the ones that deal with money, and bank. I know it sounds scary, but I encourage you to keep an open mind and check out the skill report on the forums tonight. I will be making frequent warning posts about the no-trade skill orb date to remind everyone.
- Fixed a bug that allowed you to enter a wrong security word to withdraw a trade offer.
- Fixed the link on profile.php to send player message.
- You can now edit your top 5 allies! Head to your profile and click EDIT MY TOP 5!
- Preferred Player. First off, we do apologize that this feature is not back yet. This did take much longer than expected. I still cannot give you a timetable for when this may be complete, however, you should know that we have not forgotten about it, and are working to get it back up. If you are interested in becoming a preferred player, you can still sign up for the subscription via mail in form. More details soon.
- Addition of a PANTS slot is coming in the next few weeks. !:0!
Thats it for now. Keep an eye out for the skill changes in the forums. There will be a news post made about it. Good luck! Lata.

12/29/05 - Announcement:

Hey everyone... Just wanted to keep you up to date on a few things, a lot has been going on around here and we have some interesting things/changes coming up.

To get to the Badlands, head to Angelio St. In Diamond City.

The Badlands also come with an exciting new set of GUARDIANS! These guardians have a special twist of a maximum of 40 players in a raid. These raids are VERY DIFFICULT!!! Search the Badlands for help in defeating these new and interesting raids.

Just like with Diamond City, The Badlands is an expanding zone. This is merely the first package of updates. 2 New Zones the "Upper Badlands" and the "Lower Badlands". Upper Badlands being Level 50+ and the Lower Badlands will be available for very elite players, Typically Level 60+.

Stay tuned for more updates!

11/18/05 - Announcement:

Hi everyone! We want to apologize for the recent site speed issues. Our host is currently looking into the situation. Things should be fine for the weekend so just hang in there with us. Few other issues to talk about.
Automated refresh programs and browser plugins. We are having a problem with some of these programs/plugins you guys are using to check the god raids. First off, anything that auto refreshes our pages is against the TOS. Second, they are ruining site speed. Some of you players are refreshing the raidlist.php page upwards of 20,000 times a day. Now picture 700 players all running that at the same time. It’s not helping Outwar load any faster. Please think before you use one of these. Your account will be suspended.
The Sands ring was edited and given stats after it was found out that it didn’t actually have any. If you have a sands ring, it is now considered an artifact.
We had an issue with augments disappearing from players items on the Fabar server. We are currently working on a solution for those affected. Just hang in there a bit, we realize that this is a huge innconvience and are working to get it fixed as soon as possible.
As expected, The raid mob powers and DC mob powers have ben adjusted/lowered. You may still see some adjustments in these next week.
BugFixes
- Fixed some issues with the suspension pages. Also designed a new suspension landing page for all you trouble makers out there.
- Cleared out some issues with the warning system. Warning levels should decrease now as well.
- Fixed a bug that was counting the crew vault wrong on the crew stone page.
- Made a few bug changes on profile.php with the attack link.
- Fixed the java pop when trying to leave crew. It will no longer make you leave crew when clicking cancel.
- Think we fixed a bug that is not showing players in the top 50 after being suspended.
- Removed some unused supplies from the supply store.
New Projects to look for:
- New message center (I know it’s taking a while, it’s a little more extensive than we planned.)
- Ip logs on your account.
- Expansion pack for DC the Badlands!
- New raids. Raids with a new twist.
- Personal enemies
- Language translation
- New FAQ page setup
- Return of Preferred player. We are very close to getting our reoccurring billing system back in. I promise its coming back!
Have a great weekend. Big week ahead. -=Staff

11/17/05 - Announcement:

We are aware that certain individuals are selling Outwar’s in-game property for cash on auction sites such as eBay and on personal websites.
The Outwar Terms of Service clearly state that all of the content in Outwar is the property of Rampid Interactive, and Rampid does not allow "in game" items to be sold for real money. Accordingly, Rampid Interactive will take any and all actions necessary to stop this behavior. Not only do we believe that it is illegal, but it also has the potential to damage the game economy and overall experience for the many thousands of others who play Outwar for fun. In order to promote a fun and fair environment for all our customers, we are actively investigating those individuals who engage in this inappropriate activity. If you are found to be selling in-game property (such as accounts, items, or crews), for real money, you will lose your characters and accounts.
We also want to remind potential buyers in the game to please refrain from buying in-game property with real money. We understand the temptation to purchase better items, but Outwar, and not the seller, does own all in-game property. In addition, we feel that characters can find ample equipment and money within the game through their own crews and questing. Please understand that if you do purchase in-game property from sellers on eBay and personal sites, we may temporarily suspend your account, and at the very least, delete the offending items.
Thank you for understanding our position. Rampid Interactive is committed to maintaining the atmosphere of fair play and fun in Outwar.

11/15/05 - Announcement:

Any rumor of Outwar shutting down is completely false. Also please read todays other news post below.

11/15/05 - Important annoucement:

Hey everyone, I have a very important news post for you today.
We are extremely disappointed to find out in our recent auto program sweep to find so many users still using automated programs. At this point, we are well past giving players warnings. If your account was flagged over the past week for use of an automated program, you were suspended this morning. In some more extreme cases, crews were disbanded, even some in the top 50.
RAMPID INTERACTIVE IS COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING AN ENVIRONMENT OF FAIR PLAY IN OUTWAR. WE HAVE A ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR CHEATING OR HACKING OF ANY KIND. PLAYERS CAUGHT USING AN AUTO PROGRAM TO AUTOMATE ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS' ACTIONS WILL HAVE THEIR CHARACTERS REMOVED AND THEIR ACCOUNT BANNED. THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE A WARNING. THIS IS CLEARLY STATED IN THE OUTWAR TERMS OF SERVICE.
WHAT IS AN AUTOMATED PROGRAM?
The most common executable threats we have seen reported are:
- Auto attacking and raid joining programs.
- Auto Diamond City farmers.
- Guardian alerter and Outwar multi tools.
- Programs that promise you a way to create or copy (aka "dupe") useful items
The majority of these programs, if they actually DO what they claim, can place an account in a serious violation of our Terms of Use, which may result in permanent account closure. An auto program, aka, "executable" program is something you download and then run as its own program - as opposed to opening a file or a folder. You can tell if a program is an executable if its file name ends in EXE. You can also right-click the file and choose "Properties." If the "File Type" says "Application" then that file IS an executable and you should always scan it before you run it.
Hackers and account thieves often put their viruses, keyloggers, etc into executable files and then make those files very appealing to Outwar players, in an effort to trick users into downloading and running their programs. They pretend to be programs that our players would want.
The bottom line is that we want Outwar to be a fun and safe environment for all players. We are doing everything we can to make this a great game but we also need help from you, the players. Using automated programs is cheating, unfair to others, and worst of all, slows down the speed of Outwars servers. Do everyone a favor and discontinue your use now.

11/10/05 - Daily Update:

It's been a crazy couple days, let me catch you up on what's been going on.
We found a bug that was not giving players full bonuses from skills, which is why you may have noticed a boost in your character's ATK and DEF stats.
You will also notice that we raised the powers of some of the raid mobs to compensate for the new ATK and DEF mods. As usual, you may see the raid mobs powers change over the course of the next few days.
If you raided a boss last night or early this morning you probably noticed some weird occurrences of raid mobs still attacking you after your seemingly defeated them. This was a display error and has been corrected. Whatever the outcome of the fight last night was, was the correct outcome.
Attack tournaments are live!. Head your your bounty list page to see the active tournament list. Here's how they work:
Choose which point tournament you would like to enter. They are listed as follows:
100pt Entry Competition 1/10plyrs 75pts
This competition for example costs 100 points to enter. The 1/10plyrs means there is one other player currently joined, and there is 75 points in the pot. The pot increased as more players join.
When the 10/10plyrs is full, the competition will begin. You will receive an Outwar message with instructions on what to do and who to attack. Your bounty page will also change, showing you what players you need to attack to compete in the tournament. You can also see how many wins the other people in the competition have so far. The player with the most wins vs the list of players, wins the competition and the pot. The competition ends when everyone has completed the list or 24 hours has expired. Should there be a tie in wins, the tiebreaker goes to most damage against the list.
Let us know what you think of this new feature in the forums!

We are still collecting mob images for the new Badlands expansion. We would like to remind you that we are looking for original artwork. You will be rewarded points for accepted entries! Mob pic submission page. The new expansion is due out soon! Get your ideas in fast.
Notes and Fixes
- Some Blackhand and Fangore item statistics have been raised.
- Fixed spelling errors on Terrance rollover and placing bids on the auction block
- Added new security measures on the new manage account page.
- Added an error message when trying to add an invalid account to the bounty list.
- Fixed a bug that was allowing players to add each other twice as an ally. If you have multiple names or even have yourself in your ally list, we are asking that you remove them using the edit allies link on your ally page. We are hoping we can get you guys to remove them instead having to write a script that will slow the site down. Anyway, we know we can count on you guys to remove them.
- The page hitters.php now displays the amount of experience stolen from a crew hit attack.
That's it for now...lol. Enjoy and you will hear from me tomorrow.

9/14/05 - World Territory:

The territory system has been changed back to the original system of room defenders, and defending rooms while offline.
For those unfamiliar with the old system here is how it works.
Look for the "Territory Defenders" and "Unclaimed or Controlled by:" links on world.php. If a room is "unclaimed", you may claim it for your crew. If the room is controlled by another crew, you may click the Territory defenders link to see what players or how many from that crew are actively defending that room.
So here is how territory raid works.
Let's say I want to take over a room in the training grounds that is controlled by Sanctuary. I would first click the territory defenders link to see how many players they have actively defending that room. NOTE: there are a few ways for your character to be "defending" a territory, your character can defend it by: being in the room, signed off Outwar but left character in said room, or by running to the room before the raid launches. When a raid is formed, an alert will pop on your toolbar for both sides. For a member of the attacking crew to join in on the raid, that player must run to the room that you're attacking to join the raid. Defending players simply just need to be in the room. At the end of the raid attack, a message will be displayed announcing victory or defeat. You can see all the territories your crew controls by clicking the "territory" link on your crew menu dropdown.

9/14/05 - New Content:

A new boss spawn has been released. You can find him on the crew adventures page.
A bug that displayed suspended players in the rankings has been fixed.

6/3/05 - Announcement:

Hey hey, few new things to discuss today.
We have launched a new raid mob whom you can see by going to your crew adventures page. Here is how he works. The new boss spawn is a server spawn similar to the guardians, but with a twist. The boss spawn's HP is universal, meaning, if my crew takes 10,000 HP from him, the boss loses that HP for good.
EXAMPLE: The boss spawn has 500 total HP. My crew attacks and takes 200 damage. Your crew attacks and takes 250 damage. The boss now only has 50 HP left.
What happens when the boss is killed? When the boss spawn is killed, the loot will be awarded to crew vaults using a random roll system. When the boss dies, each item is then rolled on automatically. Your crew will roll a random number between 1 - the total damage your crew has done to the boss for each item. You can see your crew’s total damage to the boss on the stats page, along with any items your crew receives when he is killed.
Outwar photos! A page to view actual Outwar player photos has been launched. View photos here, and edit your own here! The links to these pages can be found on your members page.

Guardian immunity has been changed to personal immunity. So the same crew can beat a guardian twice in a row, however the same players cannot be in the raid.
