Hello Everyone,

The Team is still working to find a permanent solution to duping and as a result, items will remain soul bound until a future hotfix.

We know that making items tradeable is very important to you all, and we want to make trading available as quickly as possible. With the current Pet's release the team is working to correct any immediate bugs that have surfaced with this release, and we will continue working on the permanent solution to duping.

Pets is now live, and we are currently in the process of identifying any bugs that have surfaced since the new build has been pushed. You can help us to resolve any bugs by reporting them on this thread.

We thank you all for your patience while we work to find a solution to duping and continue work to bring trading back.

Build 12.0.0. Bugs and Imminent Solutions.

Hi all,

First I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their patience with the new release. After Build 12.0.0 and Pets were introduced into RotMG, we were able to identify several user-facing bugs with the help of our players.

One such bug that has immediately affected many players is the loss of purchased goods, specifically the Lil’ Oryx Pets, Valentine Heart Generators, and Lucky Clover Loot Tier Items. I want everyone to know that we completely understand any frustration the loss of these items has caused, and we want to make sure to set this right.

We plan on allowing all players to claim a free Valentine Generator 5 Pack <3. Keep them for yourself or share them with your friends! These Hearts are our way of saying thank you. We really appreciate your support while we work to resolve some of the release bugs.

Additionally, those players that have lost their Lil’ Oryx Pets can write in to support@wildshadow.com. After we confirm your loss of the Lil’ Oryx pet, we will place it in your Vault. We’ve tracked all players that legitimately obtained this pet and will only be granting these players Lil’ Oryx.

For players that have lost their St. Paddy’s Day Lucky Clover items, please write in to support@wildshadow.com. and we will work to compensate players for the loss of this item as quickly as possible.

Our developers are hard at work, ensuring that any further bugs you have encountered since the release of build 12.0.0. are resolved quickly. Here is a current list of bugs that the team is working to address. While we have no hard estimates as to when a fix for these issues will be implemented, please know that our top priority is resolving them as soon as possible:

• Pet tab sometimes displays info for nearby pet instead of equipped pet (Resolved 3/27)
• The Beer Slurp pet disappears when a player enters the Pet Yard.
• Text overlaps in the News Modal
• Player’s Chat resets when changing maps
• Sending a /tell to a player sends/shows the sender in chat instead of the recipient
• Cherry Blossom Trees are missing from Ent Ancient Spawn Locations
• The next highest rank is not promoted when a Guild Leader leaves a Guild

(Added 3/28/2013)

• Invisible projectiles damage the players character during some fights
• Players chat is reset when changing maps
• Chat font is difficult to read in low resolution
• Oryx Chat says numbers instead of words
• Some Dungeons loading improperly
• Locking on to a player does not highlight their name until you change maps
• Socket Server Security error # 2048 when changing maps
• Character name hover tool tips deactivate after the user's character travels over a portal or item
• Long Portal Names do not fit into the game window
• Pets sometimes appear much larger than they should
• Item tool tip does not swap when double clicking to replace in their inventory to replace an active one
• Player Icon does not always appear in nearby player list
• Players are unable to continue typing a message in chat using the enter hotkey.

We ask that you continue reporting any additional bugs in a response to the following thread: https://forums.wildshadow.com/node/196112

On behalf of the Realm of the Mad God Team, thank you all for your patience and understanding while we continue to improve and better the game!

Updated 3/28/2013 12:00 PM

Hello Everyone,

The next time you log in be sure to claim your free Heart Pet Five pack! The pack is limited to one per player. You can claim this free pack through the pop up that appears immediately after logging in to the game.

Before claiming your package please note that a few things have changed since Build 12.0.0. was released. Heart Generators now comes in an Egg form, and cannot be traded between players. The egg will remain in your Inventory and will need to be used each time you load a new zone.

Please accept these Hearts with our thanks for your patience with the new build. The team is continuing to work on getting the Build 12.0.0. bugs resolved as quickly as possible. Please continue reporting any bugs you might encounter on this thread
