Update 1.49 - Latency Protection & Ancient Sorcerers
We're happy to present you with update 1.49!
Latency Protection
After the many occasions of laggs/kicks that's been affecting RetroCores and many other games/websites around America/Europe, we had to design a new protection system to ensure players feel safe to play even when the latency goes haywire.
This system will detect if players are having increased latency or kicks, and take actions accordingly.
There's two layers of protection, tailored for best experience in the game.
Lets face it, death should cost you, so it can't always be there to save you.
Private Protection
This protection activates when a group of players are having connection issues, and only protect those that is actively having connection issues.
Global Protection
This protection activates when a large part of the players are having issues, and at point everyone will be protected against deaths.
How does it protect you?
If you were to die while being eligible for protection, you would be kicked instead of killed, and you'd log back into the game with full health and mana in the same place there you died.
When you login, you'll be protected from creatures/damages for 10 seconds, with a countdown showing when the protection wears off.
During the protection from creatures you cannot move, the 10 seconds is to give you a moment to get ready for whatever you're facing.
If you have already "died" with protection, you'll be sent to your temple instead to avoid abuse there players try to rush hard places/quests.
Compensation
If you had bad luck and died right before the protection kicked in, you'll be compensated!
You'll shortly notice that your experience, skills, blessings and possible AOL is returned to you so it's like you never died.
However, if you drop items in that death, they're not compensated but you'd have to try to regain them either by going back or asking friends.
The compensation is only for exp, skills, bless and AOL.
Note however, this compensation is only if you're eligible for it.
If you die naturally 2 minutes before something goes haywire, you'll not be compensated.
Ancient Sorcerers
Coming updates
In a near future we'll be seeing more areas and more creatures to hunt.
Along with that we'll of course see a few new tasks as well and a few new items along the side.
Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff

Ancient Sorcerers
We're happy to introduce you to a very powerful creature, for the higher levels to enjoy or getting mauled by.
These fun little devils are ancient sorcerers.
Additional to them, we've added sandstone scorpions which might be fun for little lower levels to try out.
Other that than, I leave up to players to explore and figure out where they are and how to get to them.
Enjoy the hunt!
