To clarify on the rules: As per the ToU you may not "Attempt to barter accounts, account settings, permissions, accessories, upgrades, enhancements, items, assets, etc. for anything which has monetary value or for anything outside of the game itself." Although trading accounts for in-game items is technically legal, trading accounts that have recently been upgraded (within 60 days) is not a way to circumvent this rule and is a bannable offense as of this announcement.

4/26/2023

Targeting other players for battle now incurs a delay with a slightly random range. This delay is reducable via the haste skill. This will make for a fairer fights during the Acumen Inquest, allowing the first strike to have less to do with ping and illegal macros and left instead up to skills and some chance. Respect the barney bar, or be the laughing stock of the arena.

There is an unofficial RWK discord server controlled mainly by players who were banned for running bots on RWK and often trying to profit from it. They got themselves banned and dozens others who used their services or botting add-ons. This discord server provides no value to new players that cannot be found on legitimate sites like Jimcav's or in RWK chat, and in fact they are openly trying to discourage players from enjoying the game. We are monitoring the server and will begin handing out bans for anyone who has broken RWK rules on that discord server. We will also be banning anyone who promotes the server on RWK. Players have 1 week to delete their chat history on the server and leave to ensure no repercussions.

The strength of normal tectons has been slightly increased, and it will now cost 20x instead of 10x to repair a kingdom that is under major assault (ie that has been recently quaked with a tecton).

The defensive power of Essence Elements of Stone has been reduced.

7/24/2022

Very soon the power to obliterate a random kingdom on a chosen plane (not Forge) will be available. It will cost 10 Tectons. The name of the person who did the deed will remain anonymous, however, he will be teleported to the location, known only to him and the former owner of the kingdom. If he wishes to remain anonymous he'll have to leave, and if he wishes to wage war he'll need to quickly build.

This new Greater Tecton will have an increased chance to drop a Devil's Deliverence, and the chance to get a Devil's Deliverence from a normal Tecton or Stone has be removed. This will ensure that destruction is required in order to get a DD in this manner, rather than spamming it on a meaningless kingdom which was dickless. 191 DDs were dropped on S1 and 159 were dropped on S2 in this manner.

The Silence GF does not affect the Greater Tecton.

Greater Tectons now also provide aftershock for enhanced nuking, but you may still want/need to use normal tectons in the adjacent kingdoms afterwards for successful nuking.

Greater Tectons can hit unsettled kingdoms but cannot hit special locations.

Greater Tectons will give you 5x chances to sleeve cards.

SoSe now comes with a Greater Tecton. Celebrate your ascendance by shitting on someone else.

New Host drama update: We had completed a deal with the new host and even paid for the first month. We were then contacted and told that they were going to transfer us to another section of their company (which was recently acquired) and we'd have to be moved to a different billing platform. New billing required a new contract and the new contract's terms, in spite of what was promised, were not the same as the original: 1/20th the bandwidth. That's not going to work. We're not sure if they are incompetent or scummy at this point, and either way it's not worth continuing negotiation.

Fortunately, we came up with a possible solution to the primary issue faced by our current host which is bouts of packet loss. We have been testing a dual routing method whereby we send duplicate packets across two different routes, the first being the usual direct connection to the server and the second being forced along a different path via one of several of our proxy servers. We have had exceptional results on Nodiatis and wanted to implement this here on RWK as well. Unfortunately, when attempting to implement dual routing on RWK we ran into an issue with the way RWK processes packets. It is not designed to handle multiple duplicate packets. People who are having issues can use a proxy route of https://r2p3.racewarkingdoms.com/ which will take your packets on a different path that should only add about 6ms but could avoid problem routers and improve playability.

7/4/2022

We are having to route traffic through our proxy server until we complete the server move. This is causing bad connectivity. To improve your connection you can do a direct connect via https://xd2.racewarkingdoms.com/ but be advised that you should switch back to our normal domain name if you have issues with this address after we complete the server move. This will hopefully be the 7th but we still await scheduling.

You can now increase your Forge Gem approbations beyond rank 9. Doing so increases a new stat called Gem Resist which reduces the chance of your opponent successfully using their Forge Gem approbations.

We have reenabled the citizen's ability to downgrade shadow to crystal items for 100k ash. It seems people want what they cannot have. His speech about it has been slightly improved to avoid accidents. If you trick someone into doing it we'll take worse than 100k from you.

2/24/2021

We have removed the citizen's ability to downgrade shadow to crystal items for 100k ash. In the history of RWK only one person has done so, presumably on purpose, and the potential for someone to do it accidentally is greater. From now on, once you go shadow, you never go back. If this causes you any issues, let us know and we will resolve the problem.

10/13/2020

There is now a $199.99 purchase option which will lower your settled Forge kingdom count by 11. This purchase does NOT break ashen rocks. This was done rather than having a 10 reduction version which did break rocks because kingdom count is reduced prior to the crack, which would have caused possible confusion and failed rolls.

10/12/2020

Ashen rocks will once again only crack when purchasing items that are normally $50 or over. This is to prevent aqua lung purchase spam for the purpose of lowering Forge Settled Kingdom count.

The DDD and 20x EEoST purchase option now also reduces your Forge Settled Kingdom count by 3, and it also still cracks rocks which has the potential to lower it again. You can consider this option if that is your primary goal.

An issue preventing the /t35 command from working properly has been fixed. This is the command you can use to open the Xsolla store, which should always be a last resort and only used if you can't use PayPal since they reject so many legitimate orders erroneously.

9/30/2020

An issue was fixed where the Ash Keeper would not respond to names with spaces in them.

9/26/2020

Congratulations to Niizandar (Master of Fists) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Nobody (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Get Rekt (Grandmaster Bowman). The next Inquest is scheduled for Oct 24th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

9/3/2020

Antibot image compression has been greatly increased to speed up loading time for people with bad connections.

9/2/2020

Client modified to fix a typo and a potential lock-up issue after a time out.

8/30/2020

We have gone live with some major server code optimizations, which are currently shaving an additional 3ms off of average response time. Please let us know immediately if any oddities or issues arise.

8/29/2020

Congratulations to Team Wafer (Master of Fists) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Lord Magus (Hev) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner The Balam Alliance (Master Magician) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for Sept 26th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

8/20/2020

More modifications to antibot checks have been made to prevent accidental clicks.

8/18/2020

A chat bug in IE was fixed.

8/13/2020

An issue with the server sending too much information to the client during serverwide messages, specifically location info, has been reported, rewarded, and fixed.

New client has optimizations in place to help with some flickering issues with sleeved cards and other items.

8/8/2020

The chance of antibot checks has been slightly lowered. Client optimizations for some browsers have been made.

8/6/2020

Certain hotkey actions were causing the action buttons to grey out and never recover, essentially locking the client. The problem was found and fixed with this patch.

8/3/2020

We are testing a new delay bar method with absolute positioning which may reduce choppiness due to layout updates.

An actual bug was found that was both slowing down and making the delay bar choppy during polling requests. It has been fixed and things are running much smoother. The previous optimizations are now just an added bonus.

We've made a modification to antibot checks that should prevent the issue with having to sometimes click the answer multiple times and may also help those with slow connections load the image faster.

8/2/2020

We fixed the issue with missing chat lines and client errors during active clicking.

8/1/2020

The client has been improved to work better in all browsers, specifically Chrome and mobile browsers which throttle CPU actions. A poker timer problem was resolved. The Nodiatis ad at the bottom no longer occupies invisible space.

7/31/2020

Further enhancements have been made to the client. More security has been added against malicious attacks against the client. Also, if the same character is logged on from two browsers, the first browser will automatically disconnect to prevent the connection errors that would otherwise occur.

7/30/2020

An issue was found involving the Attacking Accuracy and Casting Accuracy skills. Their descriptions on the help page have been modified to more accurately represent what they do: they directly modify certain stats. As of recent changes, however, the archer classes were not receiving the proper benefit from Attacking Accuracy in some cases. This has been fixed.

7/28/2020

A major interface overhaul has been completed. You will need to refresh your page to make sure you have the latest client. The new interface is frameless and features some new anti-botting security. If you have any issues, please report them in chat or via email.

7/25/2020

Congratulations to Inocelda (Master of Fists) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Robotech (For) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Empyron (Master Magician) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for August 29th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

7/23/2020

Major multiboxing policy announcement: Multiboxing will always be allowed in RWK. Developers who allow multiboxing only to ban it after getting pushback from a vocal group of intolerant protestors are shameful and disgusting. It will always be a matter of opinion, but our opinion will always be that multiboxing with no automation (i.e. 1 human button press equals 1 button press across multiple characters, with no logic) is a legitimate way to play games. "But Glitchless, a person could use a supar computar to make 112 characters kill a creature, and he'd get 112 times as much goald!" That is a very astute observation, young obi-wan, but you'll need to set your phasers to stunlock. Game suggestions that, perhaps, benefit single character controllers due to complex action/reaction are welcome. Suggestions to ban multiboxing will be summarily ignored.

7/14/2020

S1 characters Singing Fists, Hattori Hanzo, Whistling Fists, Budd, Buck, Elle Driver, etc were banned for failing over 100 antibot checks today.

An issue was found when combining monks and theurg builds that created an unintended mutant. It has been fixed.

7/2/2020

A rounding error that caused an invalid percentage of losses to display during waging war has been fixed.

6/30/2020

Failing antibot checks will result in substantially more antibot checks for a long while. This prevents a specific type of botting. Don't fail antibot checks and this won't be a burden.

6/27/2020

Congratulations to Gravity (Master of Arms) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Chesty Puller (Hel) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Seiyakou (Master Magician) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for July 25th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

5/30/2020

Congratulations to Horus (Master of Arms) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Emiren (Dun) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Conscious (Grandmaster Bowman) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for June 27th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

5/29/2020

The rules of the monthly plex contest have been tweaked. If there fails to be a winner for any particular month (this would be most likely due to nuking activities) then the prize for that month is added to an ever-growing pool that will be acquired by the next winner on any plane. See this.

5/27/2020

An issue with the beast lists not properly recording players when there have been over 100 kills has been found and fixed. The player who reported the potential exploit received 4 EEoAs.

4/25/2020

Congratulations to Zeus (Grandmaster Bowman) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Per (Sur) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Lord Magus (Master of Arms) (And Horus!) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for May 30th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

4/19/2020

For a limited time, get the DDD + 10x EEoST and get an additional 10x EEoST bonus!

4/5/2020

There will now only be one "buy items" button for you to press which will take you to our older storefront. Unfortunately, players were experiencing too many issues with Xsolla's antifraud false positives that we had to remove that storefront as a default option. If you are outside the US and unable to make purchases with our standard storefront, you can type /t35 to open the Xsolla store, but it should only be used as a last resort.

3/30/2020

The beginning of the previous Inquest involved a massive and unacceptable amount of lag. We were able to reduce the effect of the lag by disabling some unnecessary background processes, however, it was not a real fix to the problem which only gets worse as more and more people return to the game. The real culprit is RWK's server code, which has now been sychronized to prevent data errors that occurred in the past but in order to remain both effecient and error free, it needs a complete revamp. More details were recently discussed on the forums. We're happy to announce that we have begun this arduous process, and when complete, the problem of lag when many players or several multiboxers are active should be completely resolved. We are dedicated to keeping this classic title "fully operational" as they say on Star Track.

Please be advised, the ToU was updated, prohibiting the bartering of in-game goods for anything of real monetary value. This is not an action we wanted to take, but it is necessary for legal purposes. For more info, see the ToU below and the posts on the forums.

3/28/2020

Congratulations to Valdorian (Master of Arms) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Midtun (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Gravity (Master of Arms) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for Apr 25th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

3/18/2020

You can speak to the Forge Hermit about a possible way to settle Forge kingdoms with less clicking. Remember, RWK is the premier place to practice your 'social distancing' so get upgrades and enjoy your health!

3/2/2020

Beast list recleared for this month. There was an issue with the server migration which undid the previous reset.

3/1/2020

Server migration was completed. Please note, if you need to avoid game filters at school or work, there are new direct IP address links you can use in the FAQ link below.

2/29/2020

Congratulations to Randall Flagg (Master of Arms) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Lord Magus (Hev) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Randall Flagg (Master of Arms) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for Mar 28th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

1/26/2020

The color of kingdoms on maps follows new rules now. Surface will no longer have a dark grey for land, since so much of the land is covered that it just creates more noise than info. Hidden, unsettled, or NOBODY kingdoms will be pure black. The kingdoms of a recently banned player which are yet to be walked will be pure white.

1/25/2020

Congratulations to Mayumi Saegusa (Master Magician) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Robotech (For) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Mephisto (Master Magician) ($100). The next Inquest is scheduled for Feb 29th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

1/24/2020

New map features have been added to help plex owners find scattered kingdoms and do general plex maintenance. Refresh any of the View Tops -> Maps pages and you will see a larger and more crisp image of the plane. You can get the RGB color value of a kingdom by mouseovering or clicking, and you can enter that value into the filter boxes if you wish to only see kingdoms of that particular color.

12/28/2019

Congratulations to Asuha Chigusa (Master of Fists) ($250 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Niizandar (Hel) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award.

The prize for the Inquest winner has been increased to $250 in EEoAs. The brawl prize has been increased to $100 in EEoAs.

11/5/2019

One or more people running bots and a botting service, offering to log your character and help you advance, have been banned today. We monitored and did manual antibot checks on the macroing characters over a period of many days, and were able to verify with 100% certainty that the activity was automated, and also not simply multiboxing. Those who knowingly or unwittingly recently gave these people access to their accounts, allowing them to macro, were also banned.

10/26/2019

Congratulations to Snowblood (Master Magician) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Per (Sur) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award.

8/22/2019

Inventory overflow has been modified for some actions to prevent the loss of expensive items.

Dragon Eater spawn rates have been reduced.

7/27/2019

Congratulations to Robotech (Grandmaster Bowman) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Robotech (For) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award.

Congratulations to Kobiianardo (Grandmaster Bowman) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Niizandar (Hel) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award.

4/13/2019

Xsolla assures us that problems with transaction rejections have been resolved. Feel free to resume using them for payment.

3/31/2019

Players who relog will see that there are two Buy Items links. The first will bring you to our old PayPal purchase page which has been updated with the current specials. Players attempting to buy some items via Xsolla, SoSe in particular, have been experiencing order rejections. Xsolla is working on the problem, but until they fix it, using the direct PayPal page is strongly suggested.

3/30/2019

Congratulations to Quasar (Grandmaster Bowman) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Empyron (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Ribsr (Master of Arms) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Apr 27th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

3/4/2019

To prevent accidents, when an ashen rock breaks it will always provide ash. The ability to get EEoGTs instead was never in favor and only happened by mistake. You don't have to worry about your poker settings anymore before making a purchase.

3/2/2019

To avoid potential long term exploits, players who have created forged items are not eligible for name swaps. If either player has settled Forge KDs, both must have SoSe to name swap.

Players who cannot access the Forge (no SoSe) will not gain any gems or interest from their Forge KDs.

2/28/2019

Greater gems have been added to the new storefront and there is a special discount on the DDD and 10 EEoSTs package that will last for 1 week.

2/26/2019

The new RWK storefront has been added. This supports far more payment options than PayPal, including Bitcoin, Amazon, Google, Apple, and many others. Trial access no longer comes with a $5 discount on your next purchase, but it's price has instead been lowered by $5. Store purchases of Aqua Lungs, RDADMS, and Descender now break ashen rocks.

2/23/2019

Congratulations to Valdorian (Master of Arms) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Lord Magus (Hev) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Heisenberg (Master Magician) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Mar 30th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

2/22/2019

A new set of armor and weapons has been added to the game. These items require strong tradeskills, a piece of corresponding Shadow gear, a Forge kingdom, a lot of gold, a lot of gems, and a lot of time to create. The price increases for every piece you create, so pick your pieces carefully. Forge gear adds a new combat mechanic which can cripple your foe, greatly impairing stats and abilities. They are not tradable.

2/9/2019

To reduce costly mistakes, kingdoms in The Forge will no longer be lost to automatic peasant revolts. They are still at risk of being couped by a third party, but you will receive warnings when a Forge kingdom is below 50% morale. All Forge coup activity is now announced server wide.

The following client interface improvements have been made. Please relog to update your clients:

-Three extra action bars and two extra kingdom action bar have been added. This will allow you to set multiple actions up for easier clicking or to teleport to static locations.
-Fight buttons slightly enlarged.
-/disable and /enable will remember the setting on a per browser basis using cookies.
-Rune Keeper and Surface Hermit added to give/trade lists by default.
-Movement buttons have been enlarged when on mobile.
-Max level is shown. This is only updated on login.
-The top window has an extra row showing totals of important inventory items.
-A /lock and /unlock command have been added to lock your chat quickslots as they currently are.

New hotkeys:
123 chat quickslot hotkeys
456 first three general hotkeys
789 first three kingdom hotkeys
0 last general hotkey

2/8/2019

A major performance enhancement has been made to the encrypted connection method. HTTPS should now be just as fast as HTTP for all users, and both will be faster than before due to the removal of extra overhead from redundant protocol handshakes. There should be no reason now not to use the default encrypted connection method.

2/7/2019

Race War Kingdoms is undergoing a security overhaul. This will help ensure the safety of your accounts and info. The following will be taking effect prior to the next Inquest on the 23rd:

-The default landing page of RWK will provide an HTTPS encrypted connection. An unencrypted link is still provided, however, connecting in that method is not advisable as it can expose all communication between your browser and our server, including your password.
-No third party browser addons or extensions that alter the RWK interface will be allowed. These also have the potential to expose your password and info. You are safe running popular adblockers such as uBlock Origin and Adblock, but RWK specific addons must be uninstalled and all others should be disabled by the time of the Inquest.
-Please vote on the additions you want to see made to the RWK interface on the forums. We will implement as many as possible by the time of the Inquest.
-If you have logged on via plain HTTP or used third party addons, we advise you to change your passwords and account keys immediately after their removal.
-X/Y locations under Teleport will remain the same when moving so you can leave particular locations set for fast teleporting.

Why the changes now?
With the addition of new payment providers, it is necessary for us to integrate the payflow process into the RWK interface. This requires that we do everything in our power to safeguard your data. Just as we vow not to sell your information, we vow not to give it away. We will be happy to collaborate with addon creators to provide similar functionality built directly into the default RWK interface in a way which does not pose a threat to player security.

1/31/2019

For official Inquest fights, there will be an X% chance to ACUMEN NEGATE your foe's mesmerize or void/devoid. X is equal to 2x the number of people who have won the Inquest the past year (up to 22) whose class matches that of your foe. Note that the exact listed class is used, so variants of fighters, casters, etc are considered different classes.

Players can now only receive runes as payout for playing poker. Players can still buy-in to poker with ash if desired, however. This will prevent ash transfering. Too much of the RWK economy was dependant on ash, which was too easy to exploit by mass farming lotto on alts and transfering as opposed to actual gameplay. This is part of a shift back to gold as the more important currency in the game, which will be realized with the coming of the new armor by the end of February.

1/26/2019

Congratulations to Iceman And Cojax (Master of Arms) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Robotech (For) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Kobiianardo (Grandmaster Bowman) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Feb 23rd at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

12/29/2018

Congratulations to Canada (Master Magician) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Coal Chamber (Hel) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Canada (Master Magician) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Jan 26th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

RWK will be getting a revamp to its storefront shortly. Extra payment options will be added, notably Amazon Pay and Bitcoin, but plenty others as well. See forums for details.

11/25/2018

Due to a hardware failure, all player and zone files needed to be rolled back to the backups from this morning. Due to an issue with Surface kingdoms during Inquest, all surface kingdoms were rolled back an additional day. Let us know if you are experiencing issues beyond what would be expected from these rollbacks.

All beast lists have been recleared since rollback.

Dying in the Inquest will now move you to the typical safe zone, however, you will not be able to target players in that zone.

11/24/2018

Congratulations to Deagoe (Grandmaster Bowman) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Chaos Heretic (Dun) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Valdorian (Master of Arms) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Dec 29th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

Theurgal Divinators using the Theurgist Staff of Domination will now get the same 50% chance to burn enemy arrows in flight that casters with the Caster's Robes have.

10/27/2018

Congratulations to Almez (Master of Arms) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Nobody (Sur) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Iceman And Cojax (Master of Arms) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Nov 24th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

In future Inquests, players will be teleported to random locations after matches to prevent them from being pretargeted by their next opponent.

10/19/2018

The defensive bonus from dropping a stone has been reduced to 3x (down from 10x).

A bug allowing players to give KDs to special location entities has been fixed.

9/30/2018

Client updated so that beast names will now appear at the top of the battle list. This will make finding beasts easier for all players and help level the playing field.

9/29/2018

Congratulations to Asuha Chigusa (Grandmaster Bowman) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Nobody (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Horus (Master of Arms) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Oct 27th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

Caster's Robes effect vs arrows is being buffed to 50%.

8/25/2018

Congratulations to Randall Flagg (Master of Arms) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Lord Magus (Hev) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Iceman And Cojax (Master of Arms) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Sept 29th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

8/7/2018

A server crash (believed to be a random hardware issue ...or someone at the datacenter tripping over a cord, you never know) caused some player and zone files to become corrupted. We manually recoverd those files from our daily backups. Anyone who is missing items should e-mail [email protected] for assistance. Note the changes from 12/3/2017 which were supposed to eliminate this problem completely had been undone during our recent issues with SSD performance. We have reinstated the 12/3/2017 patch to reduce the risk of data corruption during hardware or power failures and we will continue to monitor the situation to ensure no performance issues are caused by it.

7/28/2018

Congratulations to Mrjackdaniels (Master Magician) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Robotech (Forge) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Asuha Chigusa (Grandmaster Bowman) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Aug 25th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

The refund cost for the new Theurg and Monk quest items will not be increased until someone from those classes has won an Inquest.

7/9/2018

Maximum chat size has been increased to 300. This will help those with the expander item list their uber inventories.

7/1/2018

The Descender and Expander have been added to the Buy Items page. These are special convenience items that are not available to be bought with ash. You may need to refresh the page to get them to show up.

The Caster's Robes ability to burn arrows has been increased from 25% to 33%

The mechanics of deposit have been changed. The amount you enter to deposit will be rounded down to the maximum that you could possibly deposit automatically.

CAUTION: The mechanics of /dt have been changed. If you have under 1 billion gold you will go down to 0 gold. If you have over, you will go down to 1 billion gold.

6/30/2018

Congratulations to Ribjr (Grandmaster Bowman) ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Race War Kingdoms (Hel) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Horus (Master of Arms) ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for July 28th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

The new convenience item patch is pending. You should go to sleep, though.

6/22/2018

Fixed an issue with hot key repeats on IE so they do not continually repeat while held down.

6/4/2018

The SSD raid that was setup and working fine for S2 yesterday decided that its member disks were no longer compatible after reboot. This was an inconvenience and required manual attention, but no data was lost, so there were no rollbacks. The Deathstar is once again fully operational.

6/3/2018

SSD reconfiguration is complete. With some tweaks to the way our daily map update is done, we've managed to greatly increase the speed. Their time of day should no longer be a concern since they should be so fast.

6/2/2018

Verbose relic mode will now properly display the extra relics procing from the new quest items. Note they may not show up using /equip until you first do a fight.

6/1/2018

Class balance patch! Five new quest items have been added to the game. All come from a new NPC named the Forge Hermit located in a southwest hut. Info will be added to the /help site shortly.

By the end of this month (maybe) we intend to have a new purchasable item. It will not provide power, but it will provide convenience!

After the DMU, we'll be changing the effects of the Theurg and Monk quest items greatly. See the help page. Also, at the end of the month, we'll be increasing the amount of ash required to get a refund on those quest items to 100k ash.

Daily map updates are still taking too long. We have a hardware upgrade planned (no ETA, could be as early as today or later this month) that should deal with this issue.

EEoA purchases no longer show up in yellow, so they are private.

5/31/2018

RuneScape classic is shutting down, yet RWK is still getting patches! RuneScape was the biggest game in the world by far at one point, and the fact that a bloated company like Jagex can't keep it all its versions running efficiently and profitably is pathetic. RWK will never shut down. Those of you who played from the very beginning probably remember the pure text, super crappy original version of RWK that ran for just a short while. It was shut down when this version of RWK came out, and the code was eventually lost. Shutting that down was a horrible mistake--one that was learned from. RWK shall endure. Class balance patch today!

We now have an official Facebook page. Faceroll the like button.

Delay bar functionality has been improved to be more forgiving of people with high or erratic latency. 10 second penalties will be less common. A bug that caused the bar to not deplete at the proper rate when receiving a 10 sec penalty which resulted in repeated 10 sec penalties has been fixed.

The hourly action limit has been increased to 6000.

/equip chat command added.

5/27/2018

Hot keys activate with the downstroke again, which should feel like faster response. They still will not repeat actions when held down. Some other issues that were introduced with yesterday's client patch have been fixed involving window scrolling and chat activation.

5/26/2018

Congratulations to Seith ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Seith (Dun) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Iceman And Cojax ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for June 30th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

A class balance patch is scheduled for the end of the month. There's still time to make suggestions on the forums.

The built-in hot keys have been changed to only send actions when the key is fully pressed and released. This was in response to a person being banned and unbanned after it was suggested that an object on the keyboard could have caused the repeated antibot failures. The logs of the activity in this particular case matched with such behavior (same direction being moved over and over). This excuse won't work in the future with these changes to hot keys, however. Be sure if you are using any addons that they do not have the potential to cause this issue with their hot keys.

Hot keys will no longer function when the Mac command key is down.

4/28/2018

Congratulations to Wepwawet ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Wepwawet (Sur) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Quasar ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for May 26th at around 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

4/20/2018

The /stats and /relic commands have been updated to provide more accurate data. Stats are no longer rounded. The power index formula has been modified to show a better representation of true power. This has no affect on actual combat.

You can now give class specific quest items to the Keep Keeper if you want to get rid of them after changing classes to free up inventory slots.

3/31/2018

Congratulations to Robotech ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Robotech (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Wepwawet ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Apr 28th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

The /dt (discards trivial gold, up to 499,999,999) and /app (displays approbations) commands have been added to the game. Additional hot keys have been added and an issue with the window scrolling while moving has been fixed.

Changes have been made to the client to hopefully prevent an issue with mouse clicks sometimes not registering on busy browsers.

12/3/2017

Changes to our game database have been made to prevent a rare issue where a player who was active right as the server reset could become corrupted. This happened to a player on S2 recently, and we had to restore his file from a recent backup, but this should not occur again.

11/25/2017

Congratulations to Empyron ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Seith (Dun) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Seith ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Dec 30th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

11/9/2017

The effect of forge gem approbations is now reflected in player power index. Note that in addition to providing everything the Dragon Essences do, each rank up of a gem approbation after the first slightly increases the original effects ((Attack or Cast or Durability) and Defense rating) in addition to providing the special, mysterious gem effects.

11/6/2017

The max ash holding capacity has been raised from 500k to 1 million.

10/29/2017

10/10/2017

The Surface Hermit can now combine the powers of many Forge elements into one, allowing players to get around inventory space restrictions on elemental tier upgrades. Give him gold to discuss.

9/30/2017

Congratulations to Anubis ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Team Wafer (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Anubis ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Oct 28th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

8/29/2017

Players can type /settled to see how many Forge KDs they are on record as having settled. This is the value that determines how hard it is to settle further KDs.

8/26/2017

Congratulations to Deceiver ($200 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Lord Magus (Hev) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Niizandar ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Sept 30th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

8/8/2017

The SoSe deal got even better - players will now receive between half and full ash value of existing purchased upgrades when buying the SoSe package. This includes all versions of Aqua Lungs, Fyre Rock, Platinum Ore, Templar, RDADMS Lessonbook, Scroll of Forbidden Rights, Beast Bane, and the Skill Potencifier. If you purchase the SoSe package for a player who already has SoSe, you get ash for all of those items which will be between 222,500 and 445,000 ash.

Max ash has been raised to 500,000

The Ash Collector can now summon private random Dragon Eaters. Hint: 1,999,999,993

Now when cracking ashen rocks from making real money in-game purchases, you will have the chance to lower your recorded number of settled Forge kingdoms. You will begin flipping a coin, for a maximum number of tries equal to your current recorded number of settled Forge kingdoms. If you get heads, you will stop flipping and have your number reduced by 1, making it easier to settle. If you get all tails, you're out of luck.

The drop rate of Forge gems was reduced by 33% several days ago, but we have returned it to its previous rarity, the same as it was at the very beginning.

7/11/2017

Name swapping is available once again. The recorded number of settled Forge kingdoms remains attached to the name, preventing the exploit of using name swaps to more easily settle Forge KDs. Update: Players who have settled Forge KDs are not eligible for name swaps unless both have SoSe.

7/8/2017

Super Relics and DDDs are now for sale via the Buy Items page. Each come with at least 1 EEoST worth 999 runes.

7/3/2017

The Rune Keeper now offers a new item.

7/2/2017

The automatic refresh rate of the game has been greatly enhanced. Your client should update very quickly as long as you have done some action in the past 15 minutes, resulting in more quickly seeing events such as beast spawns or Inquest messages, etc.

To address concerns regarding players using intelligent macros to move them immediately to beast spawns, we have changed the way beasts spawn slightly. Rather than announcing the exact location the beast has spawned, a location near the beast (1 square away vertically, horizontally or diagonally) will be announced. Players using auto teleport commands will be ported directly to the announced spot where they will then have to search the nine possible locations (including the existing square in the case the beast did not move).

The client has been optimized further and uses a more advanced means of communicating with the server which will not produce any clicking noises, cursor blinking, or refreshes. These changes should enhance gameplay and be compatible with all browsers.

A minor bug where the skill names were not showing has been fixed.

The prize for winning an Inquest has been increased to $200 in EEoAs.

This month's plex award will be given to the king in the Forge with the largest visible perfect square plex. There will not be a size minimum on this plane to win like on the others.

7/1/2017

Random beast spawn rate has been buffed.
The drop rate for Dragon Essences has been buffed.

6/30/2017

A new plane now exists: The Forge.
On this new plane the mechanics of kingdom ownership are very different. Here are the differences we are willing to elaborate on:
-All kingdom assets (other than Runes) are worth 1 million times more than normal.
-All kingdom assets cost more to purchase as their total goes up.
-Kingdoms here cannot be traded.
-Each hour when interest is gained, there is a chance to harvest a very rare element. This chance increases slightly based on the amount of teasury.
-Certain locations here that are closer to the source of riches have bonuses toward interest or element harvesting.
-Kingmanship increases the interest bonus if present, but does not affect the kingdom in any other way.
-Three new skills exist which increase element harvesting bonuses.
-Interest gained here is not affected by normal bonuses. It starts out very high but decreases as teasury increases, making them more profitable than normal kingdoms only for players without extreme wealth.
-Settle kingdoms WISELY. Attempting to settle costs gold, and the chances of being successful decrease exponentially each time you successfully settle a kingdom PERMANENTLY, making it extremely difficult to own more than a handful of kingdoms on this plane.
-Populations consume less food.
-Due to the nature of the higher and varying resource costs, many kingdom management / commands will not function in the Forge
-Less morale is lost in the Forge from guard slayings. Kings should still take care to rune up.
-Forge kingdoms cannot be quaked directly, however, they will still be considered under major assault and have army and fortification penalties if attacked by someone who has quaked.
-Paying serfs is 20x more costly, bribing them is 50x times so.
-Overthrowing a kingdom via war will cause the KD to be occupied by NOBODY as opposed to the attacker to prevent using it as a settling exploit. Recovering the conquered kingdom's resources will require you to settle it, which in itself is expensive. War on this plane is designed to occur mainly between neighbors battling over high bonus territory. Fighting on foreign soil is expensive.
-All war activity in the Forge will be announced server wide, regardless of girlfriend bonuses.
-There is a significant gold and experience bonus from creatures in the Forge. It has been buffed from its original amount at release - Exp bonus is greater than Hel and gold bonus is greater than Hev.

4/27/2017

Some client improvements have been made. Image mouseovers have been fixed. Surface chat is now grey, the antibot checks will be easier on mobile devices and the troublesome alert popups will no longer be an issue on mobile either. Also a /sus command has been added. Thank you to player contributions and suggestions that helped us to make these comfort changes.

4/21/2017

Using an account key to recover a password will now reset the password to something new instead of recovering it. Scammers were using this feature hoping victims would change the password before changing their key so they could recover the new password for themselves using the key.

4/5/2017

The next patch is planned for June. A new and special plane will be added to Race War Kingdoms.

3/25/2017

Congratulations to Randall Flagg ($100 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Bouncer Elmo (Sky) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Bouncer Elmo ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Apr 29th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

3/23/2017

Two new beasts have been added. Killing them unlocks a repeatable quest which allows you to gain new powers.

Beast spawn rates have been increased for the more rare beasts.

There is no longer a 30 minute timeout for logged characters.

3/16/2017

Winning poker pots is now anonymous. This will allow players to make raises and win hands and steal ash from semi-afk players without making enemies.

A /beast command has been added that will display all the beasts you've killed that month to help you know what you can and can't still attack.

3/13/2017

Tops lists have been cleared.

2/25/2017

Congratulations to Per ($100 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Lord Magus (Hev) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Empyron ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Mar 25th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).

2/14/2017

The timing mechanism RWK uses for client/server synchronization has been upgraded which should prevent the vast majority of missing chat messages that some people were noticing.

2/13/2017

We've changed the random number generator of RWK to exist in a persistent state. This is a more accurate approximation of psuedo-randomness and also a performance enhancement for the server.

1/28/2017

Congratulations to Verysmallchurches0 ($100 credit) for winning the Acumen Inquest and to Chaos Heretic (Hel) for winning the $100 credit Kingdom Plex Award. Also congratulations to the brawl winner Per ($50). The next Inquest is scheduled for Feb 25th at 6:00pm EST (17:00 RWK Time).
