Hello Realmers,
There’s a storm coming… It looks like bad news but may also bring hope, something to hold onto. This week, we will put your strength to the test. You will walk through fire and water to obtain the precious spoils of victory! But before that...
Oryx 3
Oryx’s Sanctuary remains hidden beyond the Wine Cellar, but there’s time to get a head start on preparing for the Mad God’s greatest challenge! To protect these chambers, Oryx has entrusted three runes among his legion of minions and beyond. When the time comes, you will need a Sword Rune, Shield Rune, and Helmet Rune to face the dungeon beneath. Act now to ensure you will be able to enter Oryx’s Sanctuary as soon as it reveals itself!
Upcoming events:
For the next three weeks, we will be hosting events in dungeons which after the release of Oryx 3 will be dropping Runes: Sword Rune, Shield Rune, Helmet Rune. Thanks to Chest Events some of you will be able to gather Runes before the O3 release and by cooperating with each other, enter Oryx 3 together after the release. In the first week we will be hosting events in the Court of Oryx dungeons, which will provide Shield Rune.

FAQ:
Q: What is a Bonus Program/Rewards?
A: A Bonus Program/Rewards is a time limited event that can be accessed in the Shop. It allows players to collect Bonus Points (BP) by boosting campaign in the Shop (Gold/BP ratio 1:2) or consuming the Broken Ornaments they have collected in the Realm and dungeons. With enough BP players will be able to claim Bonus Rewards. More details about where those Broken Ornaments will drop, tomorrow!
Note:
Purchasing boxes/packages in the in-game store or items from the Nexus will not grant you BP!
~
Q: Why release a Bonus Program/Rewards?
A: A while ago, we released a new feature in order to run the Unity Support Campaign. The feature was a big investment for our team in terms of development and we designed it with possible future campaigns in mind from the start.
We are re-purposing the feature to make it available again in the form of events during which you’ll collect additional rewards for supporting the game via gold purchases or collecting tokens, depending on the type of bonus program.
~
Q: How do I participate?
A: Whenever a Bonus Program/Rewards starts, you will be able to access the feature directly in the Shop. In order to participate and to start collecting points, you will first have to “unlock” the campaign.
The Open Beta Bonus Program is FREE to unlock and participate in!
~
Q: Is the Bonus Program mandatory? Why should I participate?
A: None of the Bonus Programs will be mandatory, of course! It is totally up to you to unlock it or not. The main idea of a Bonus Program is to give extra rewards. However, you will not collect points as long as the Bonus Program is not unlocked and this will not be retroactive (i.e. any points generated before unlocking the Bonus Program will not count).
~
Q: Can I obtain the Unity Supporter Campaign Glow, Chat Color and Gravestone skins via the Bonus Campaign?
A: No, you can’t. Those were exclusive to the Unity Supporter Campaign and limited to the users that helped us push through with the unity port project.
~
Q: What is a “Grace Period” and what is its purpose?
A: The “Grace Period” of a Bonus Program is a limited time where the Bonus Program will still be visible at the Mystery Shop but you will no longer be able to progress in the tiers even if you keep donating directly in the shop. This grace period is there so everyone can claim the rewards from the tier he/she already unlocked while the Bonus Program was live (in a non-grace period).
~
Q: Will any direct purchases from the Nexus/character screen count towards the Bonus campaign?
A: No. That was possible for the Unity Support Campaign but it no longer is. Right now, only direct boosts made in the Mystery Shop will count towards the Bonus Program.
