* Drakwald - Public Test Server.
For those of you who use the website to post feedback on the forums, you may
have noticed something new on the front page...
We are currently preparing to launch our public test server, with the ability
system implemented. This will be a large-scale test of the functionality of
the abilities, how they work in tandem and hopes to identify any critical
bugs. The current state of the system is good, we're happy with the feedback
from internal testing, as well as help from our @tester group. We're
preparing to now release this in a public environment to get some more
information to work with.
The current plan is to release this test server to a small group, mainly to
test how the new launcher operates (as it allows us to switch between dev,
live, test etc with one button, as opposed to having multiple launchers
installed). And on this we can test how the new server operates
fundamentally. Then we will release this as an open, public server for all to
hop in.
I appreciate updates have been slow whilst we have moved to this phase of the
Ability System rework but it's not long now until you can log in and help us
identify any issues before we go to a full release.
PS: As a reminder, this is not a balance release. There will be signifcant
changes to balance, as a result of the ability system changing, but we are
not shipping this as a balance rework - these will come following the
release. (I hope that makes sense)
Drakwald is waiting... for a bit longer.

Live Event: Daemon Moon Decaying
Click here to watch on YouTube
Every year, as the fog covers the land and the autumn nights herald the chill
of winter, the Daemon Moon rises. For scholars, the Daemon Moon is a
dangerous time of year when the threat of a daemonic incursion is greatest.
For the common-folk it is a time of revelry and chaos, all in the spirit of
the times. Needless to say, the scholars are right to fear what is to come,
for during the time of the Daemon Moon, daemonic forces are unleashed upon
the mortal realm to play with the lives of the living as they please. This
year scholars have noted a disturbing greenish-brown tinge on the Daemon
Moon, an ill omen of Nurgle's power. Nurgle has indeed hefted his mighty
girth to the forefront, shoving his thinner brothers aside. Once again, the
Daemon Moon does not rise, it decays.
The Daemon Moon Decaying Live Event will start on October 20th at 12:00
Altdorf time and last until November 1st 12:00 Altdorf time.
New Heralds
This year, a new Herald has arrived specific to this live event, and can be
found next to the Suspicious Peddling Merchant both Altdorf and the
inevitable City. Visit them to claim your rewards as you complete the event.
Rewards
* Basic reward: Leper's Bell, or Leper's Handbell - two new trophies to let
everyone know that you are unclean. Preview here
* Advanced reward: Rusted Lamellar Cloak for Order; Plaguebearer-Flesh Wrap
for Destruction
* Elite reward: Enslaved Manticore, or Decaying Manticore Disc mount (decay
timers based on renown bracket)
* Completing the Event Quest 'Imp Games - The Riddle' - Heart of Decay -
show the world you've given into the Plague Lord's embrace
* Daemon Moon Masks: There are a total of ten Daemon Moon masks, they can be
acquired through a variety of ways (3 via quest, 1 via PQ, 2 via random
'box' roll, and 4 from player drops) Preview here Masks decay into
permanent versions without their buffs
The Sacellum Arena
The Sacellum Arena returns as a Weekend Warfront during this live event. In
this scenario, you and your allies have been pulled into the belly of the
Inevitable City by Tzeentch's will. During the scenario three relics will
spawn by three statues on the outer edge of the Arena (initially one relic
will spawn, and over time more will appear.) Your team's objective is to pick
up the relic and bring it to the center of the Arena, standing on the metal
grate over molten metal for five seconds so Tzeentch can accept your
offering. The carrier of the relic will have a granted ability (like a
Zealot/Rune Priest buff) to toss the relic for some strategic play.
Gather the relics, drop them into the Pit of Change, and have a blast.
The Living Snot ORvR PQ
The age-old foe of the mortal realms and mythical blokes, the Living Snot,
has emerged from the Chaos Realm this Daemon Moon. Join your realm in
battling the Living Snot in the Chaos Wastes, while you hold back the
opposing realm. This PQ will include a handful of rewards exclusive to the
PQ, such as the Joyous Visage mask.
This year, the Living Snot has also had its spawn moved and its movements
updated, so it will remain in the center of the map and avoid walking towards
either faction's Warcamp.
Daemon Moon Quests
Three special quests are again available during this live event. The first of
these quests; 'Imp Games', is a timed race to find hidden tricks across the
cities, this quest is repeatable. A follow-up quest 'Imp Games - The Riddle'
can be purchased from the merchant, started by buying the item 'Imp Curio'.
Lastly is a short quest called 'Ill Omens', which is broken up into four
brackets based on your character level (1-10,11-20,21-30,31-40). Previous
quests from Daemon Moon Rising are still available from the Coldheart Witch
Hunter in Altdorf, or the Slaughterheart Magus in the Inevitable City.
Pan de Monium
What are Daemon Moon celebrations without a bit of Pan de Monium? This
Estalian bread is specially baked during the Daemon Moon, with bakers leaving
small gifts, or tricks, for their unwitting customers. Pan de Monium can be
acquired either by completing the Imp Games quest, or purchasing it from the
Suspicious Masked Peddler. Pan de Monium contains over two dozen possible
rewards, ranging from potions and talismans, to dyes and masks, or perhaps
even a precious aegis for the lucky few. What does Pan de Monium have in
store for you?
Dyes
Twenty-eight Limited Time event dyes, all themed around the Chaos Gods, have
returned this year. As the Daemon Moon Decaying is Nurgle-themed, Nurgle
themed dyes sell for gold, while dyes associated with other gods require a
small additional sacrifice. These dyes are available only during this live
event, and can be sold or traded to others afterward, so be sure to stock up!
Dye previews are available here, but please be aware that the colors may
apply differently on different base armor colors. We recommend to use an
addon such as Pocket Palette to see how this dye will look on your armor.
Live Event Shoppe
A Suspicious Masked Peddler has set up shop in the Altdorf Slums, and
secluded room near the Apex of the Inevitable City. This vendor will gladly
accept your gold and daemon fingers while the Daemon Moon is up, but please
be aware that once the Daemon Moon fully decays, he too will fade from your
life. Here players can buy new unique dyes, the Imp Curio to start a quest,
or a bit of Pan de Monium. Players can also exchange their faction's cape for
the opposing faction's default version, for a price. (Nothing is for free; it
may cost you a finger or two - such is the price Father Nurgle demands.)
New this year, the Suspicious Peddler will also accept "Crystallized
Malevolence", which can be found in higher-ranked PQ bags from The Living
Snot, and will trade you a powerful 7-day Event Item, the Magnus Daemonarium,
in return.
Weekend Warfront: Call of the Arena
One moment you and your allies were locked in a deadly struggle with your
enemies in the Old World or fair isle of Ulthuan. The next moment you found
yourself pulled into the Realm of Chaos and looking upon the blood-brick
walls of the Sacellum of the Inevitable City. The Weaver of All Fates has
challenged you to survive in his arena.
This weekend warfront Call of the Arena will be the weekend warfront from
12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown
in the Sacellum Arena scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event
tasks.
Realm versus Realm
Scenarios
- Order's Warcamp in the Nordenwatch Scenario has recruited a few additional
Guards.

Crafting Vendors
- Cleaned up Portalstones appearing as items within Crafting vendors. These
items cannot be used but were still purchasable, leading to confusion for
players.
- Cleaned up Compound Apothecary items within Crafting vendors. These items
also could not be used but were purchasable within Guild vendors, leading to
confusion.
These items might return someday if their function is restored and works
properly, but for now, we've disabled them until such a day arrives.
Social
Friends/Ignore
- You can no longer send messages to people on your own ignore list.
Happy Halloween from all of us on the RoR Team!

* Update RE: Compensation.
Update 18/10/23
Deleted Characters from the rollback are restored now. Some compensation has
been mailed to them.Thank you for your patience.
-------------------
Twitch drops that were lost during the rollback period should be resent out
now. Thank you for your patience.
-------------------
Compensation should now be found in your Mailbox. Thanks again for your
patience.
-------------------
I appreciate people are waiting to receive in-game mails, the importing of
the hat vendor this week took a substantial amount of time. We will be
distributing Compensation when time allows.
Don't worry, we haven't forgotten!
-------------------
Hey friends,
I appreciate we have taken some time on this and want to thank you all not
only for your patience, but also your continued support this past week as we
have been working diligently to identify a suitable compensation package to
attempt to cover the time-investment lost due to the rollback announced
earlier in the week.
We have taken all precautions to minimise the chance of this happening again
in the future.
As some of our long-time community members will attest to, this is a very
rare occurrence, the server may occasionally hiccup and our systems tend to
bring everything back online within minutes, with minimal disruption. However
this time we do appreciate that a significant time-investment was lost for
players, and as such we will be distributing the following package as a means
to apologise for this.
Compensation Package:
We have analysed the data we have from that time period and have created a
sliding system that provides suitable compensation based on activity on each
character over that period. This means individuals who logged in for a
substantial amount of time, and as such experienced significant losses, are
granted more than an alt you logged in on for 2 minutes to check your bank
for example.
We felt this was a better option as to giving a base flat amount.
-------------------------
- War Crests
Scales from 50 to over 2,000+
- War Tokens
Scales from 1 to 300.
- Genesis Crests
Scales from 1 to 20.
- Potion of Acclaim
Scales from 1 to 2.
- Beastial Token
All players will receive 2 tokens.
- Crate of Liniments
Scales from 1 to 5.
-------------------------
Now, there is still an issue with the individuals who lost PvE progression,
and unfortunately there really isn't a measure in place based on data that we
can track to create a suitable package for these folk. As a result, given
that forming groups with the reduced lockout was made substantially harder
due to the 2x event running, we have made the decision to extend the reduced
lockout on PvE dungeons until Monday 16th October.
These rewards will be distributed through the in-game Mail system and will be
a phased delivery based on the amount of characters impacted to maintain
stability whilst this operates.
Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience this caused players and
appreciate that we cannot simply 'refund' time. We're hopeful that you will
be happy with the packages the team have worked diligently on over this past
week.
We are also working on restoring the characters that were created and then
lost. These will be restored at some point in the future and if you have
character slots available then they will appear and require a name change.
There is currently no ETA on this however and more information will come in
the near future.
Thanks, from all of us working on Return of Reckoning.
PS: The hats are still coming. (Silly rollback delayed dev time smh).
------------------------
Compensation will be distributed at some point this week as some people are
asking for ETA's.

* Important: Regarding downtime 03/10/23.
Update 04/10/23
Following up from yesterdays eventful evening I just want to clarify a few
points as I continue to see repeat questions / comments.
The reduced lockout from 18 to 3 hours was not a whimsical decision, this was
predominantly due to logistics and some concerns we had internally about how
code would perform with limited durations. We appreciate this is not the
best-case scenario at this time but are prioritizing stability during this
period.
The initial measures we brought the server back up with are very much our
first-stage of addressing the losses. We are discussing internally some
additional plans to bring together a more unified 'compensation' package for
players affected.
We will likely be sharing more information as to how this happened in the
first place over the coming days, but to clarify some points I see
circulating - we do have frequent backups, which is how we was able to
restore career and renown XP to the same time the server went offline. The
issue stemmed from data and not any action taken by anyone in particular.
----------
No User record found' is intentional - this is us limiting access to
drip-feed connections to improve initial stability. Sorry for the million
pings this evening.
----------
Fingers crossed, we're pressing the on switch.
We will be actively monitoring stability over the coming hours and be on-hand
to address any issues, but with new measures in place please join me in
prayer.
----------
Just as an update, the delays to bringing the server coming back up is due to
us adding additional measures to limit disruption caused. We hope to bring
you a reliable ETA shortly.
For knowledge share,
We have reduced lockout of dungeons from 18 hours to 3 hours through until
the end of the 2x event.
All RR and Career XP has been restored for those characters created
pre-26/09.
Appreciate all of your patience.
----------------------------------------
Hello gits, stunties and everyone in between.
As you have been aware, today we have had some extended downtime. After a
thorough investigation into this it seems the issue is more serious than
additionally anticipated. Whilst triaging the means to return the server to a
playable state we have identified a substantial loss of data.
A few options became available upon making this finding and given the time
investment required, which means extended downtime, the decision has been
made to restore the server and its data back to the last, confident and
playable state which was 26/09/23.
Given the disruption this will evidently cause the community we have made the
decision to extend the Live Event once more through until 09/10/23, please
note that progress made throughout the event, as well as the Ironclad Weekend
Warfront has been preserved, and any outstanding rewards can still be
claimed.
In addition to the above, we have decided to re-enable the X2 XP, Renown,
Influence & Crest buff through until 09/10/23.
As you are aware, these occurrences rarely happen on Return of Reckoning and
it’s never a fun time for the staff, or our players, as this impacts all of
us.
We do apologise for the inconvenience that these events can cause and we’re
hopeful that we can put measures in place to minimise the risk of this
happening once again moving forward.
The current ETA for the server to be back up is around an hour's time.
However we are taking additional steps when looking at the restoration to
ensure no prolonged issues arise.
Thanks,
Kaelang (hates dawi, but secretly loves u all)

Highlights
Live Event: Seas of Slaughter
Click here to watch on YouTube
The air is heavy with the smell of plunder. Autumn harvests fill up port
warehouses. Exotic goods sail into Old World ports before the winter storms
come. The seas are full of vessels laden with goods, fortunes waiting to be
claimed. So many opportunities for the Pirates of Sartosa to honor Jack o’
the Seas. Hoist the colors high!
South of Tilea, the isle of Sartosa serves as a nest of piracy. The isle is
ruled by pirate lords, first among which is the Pirate Princess of Sartosa.
The isle's location allows it to ruthlessly plunder trade routes across the
Southern Sea, from the coast of Araby and Nehekara in the south to the Tilean
Sea in the north, from the Black Gulf in the east to the shores of Estalia at
the western end of the Old World. The dwarfs of Barak Varr do what they can
to battle against the pirates of Sartosa, but they have greener problems on
their horizon. Therefore, unchecked, the pirates of Sartosa cling to the
shores of the Old World, looting and pillaging throughout Autumn. Rum flows
as freely as blood in the Seas of Slaughter.
The end of Autumn marks the high season for piracy, as merchants race to
reach safe harbors before the winter storms. The Seas of Slaughter marks the
time of year when the Pirates of Sartosa reap their own bloody harvest. Alas,
you too are caught up in the winds of piracy. Join the fray as the battle for
the high seas rages.
The Seas of Slaughter will start on September 22nd at 12:00 Altdorf time and
last until October 2nd 12:00 Altdorf time.
We are extending the Seas of Slaughter event to run until October 6th.
The pirate hat vendor will also arrive soon!
Rewards
Basic reward: [Cursed Clank], [Cursed Shimmy], [Cursed Karl], or [Cursed
Guilder]- a pocket item looted during your pirate exploits. Though it bears a
boon, it comes with a curse that will cost you.
Advanced reward: The Raider's Grog, a live-event slot item with a pilfer
proc, because that's the pirate's way!
Elite reward: [Potion of Acclaim], or a Sartosan Doubloon - a special
currency item which you can use to trade in for a pirate-themed cosmetic hat!
Cosmetic hat previews are available here. (This gallery will be updated as
new cosmetic hats are added)
All Live Event rewards are only available from the associated heralds: Sofia
Mortebacio in the Altdorf Docks near the Blowhole Tavern, or Giulia Feroce in
the Inevitable City Feast Hall.
Please note that cosmetic appearances are not yet equally distributed among
races/classes. Our magical texture artist is hard at work texturing models
that will not make it for launch, but will be added over time. Additionally,
adding new armor is a difficult task that we have only begun to touch upon,
thus adding each cosmetic hat requires some effort. To accommodate this
inconvenience, the hat vendor will not go away anytime soon. The cosmetic hat
vendor will not appear the first day the event launches due to all the boxes
he has in tow, but he'll make his debut during the event.
The intention is for every class to have available to them this year a
bandana that has no renown restriction, and RR85+ hats for those committed
players. Hats that are modeled and working-on-being-imported are: Engi/RP RR
80+; IB/EN/RP RR 85+; Slayer RR 85+; Orc RR 85+; WP RR 85+; BW RR 85+;
Chosen/Mara RR 85+. Elf hats, and assorted other hats, are awaiting
texturing. Eventually we will expand downwards to include hats for RRs 80-84,
and who knows what next year will bring...
Completing the Treasure Hunt Quests - One of the hidden quests contains a
live event specific cloak. Cloak previews are available here.
We thank our artists for their continued help. Thanks to their dedication we
have been able to add new item icons, new Live-Event ToK art, new cloaks, and
dozens of themed pirate hats. Please note that the implementation of the hats
is a work in progress and our texture artist is working hard to get more hats
done for you. Secondly, the list of hats this year is not complete and we
hope to expand our collection the next time this live event comes around. If
you want more hats, don't hesitate to drop a loving word to our art team to
keep them motivated!
Treasure Hunt Quests
Ah, the pirates life is one of booty and bounty. Fighting when the odds are
in your favor, yes please! Fighting when the enemy bares their teeth? No
thank you. Pirates flee from a fair fight, and as such work in great haste to
bury their treasures around the world, and leave notes for themselves how to
find those treasures. Located in all the ORvR lakes are dirtpiles which
players can interact with to dig up a pirate's secret notes. Clicking on the
dirtpile and not getting anything? That means someone beat you to the stash!
Come back to it in a few minutes and try your luck... or look further!
Players who successfully unearth a box from a dirtpile will be able to open
it and get a scroll tube to start a treasure hunt quest. Scroll tubes are
tradeable, so be sure to read the description to see if you've already done
the quest, as each quest can only be done once per character! Open your
scroll tube and read the scroll to start your journey! There are a total of
24 Treasure Hunt Quests (ranging in difficulty) for you to enjoy... we hope!
Dyes
Twenty rare dyes are available only during this live event, for those who
wish to expand their colorful horizons. Six dyes are specular dyes which will
dye the specular area of armor pieces that have specular areas. Dye previews
are available here, but please be aware that the colors may apply differently
on different base armor colors. We hope to continue to introduce new dyes
based on inspiration from the source material in the Live Events to come.
The Ironclad
During this live event we would like to test out the Ironclad scenario with
the player cap increased to 9 players (from 6). We understand that this
scenario has multiple issues facing it, and this solution may not solve them,
but we would like to gauge the impact. This scenario has also been added to
Discordant Skirmish during this event for some high jinks on the high seas.
Weekend Warfront: The Guns of Nordenwatch
Along the rain-scoured coast of Nordland, spring is not a blessing. For while
the end of winter signals a return of the growing season, it also heralds the
thawing of the Sea of Claws. Now all eyes turn to the white foamed waves,
searching for the first sign of invaders. It doesn't take long.
A sharp shout goes up from the watchtower moments before a harsh bell begins
to toll. Norse sails have been spotted on the horizon. War is coming, and the
only hope that the people of Nordland have is that their defenders are well
prepared.
This weekend The Struggle of Nordenwatch will be the weekend warfront from
12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown
in the Nordenwatch scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event
tasks.
