Today we have some news to share with you. As you are all aware, we are currently working hard on the Realm Rework update. While this is still far away on the horizon, in order to finish the art required for this update, we are in need of more Artists!
Some of you might be aware that over the years we have hired Artists from the community and now we are looking to increase this team. This is a paid position on a freelance basis, meaning the payment you would receive depends on the amount of art you produce. The whole process will be explained to you in more detail should we reach out to you.
To clarify, this position does not have any fixed work hours. It is fully up to the Artist to decide how much time they are able and willing to spend per day/week/month.
In order to have a better understanding of the Art required, we have created a new form that you can fill out. Please make sure all the information you provide is correct. Once again, this is a paid position and we need to ensure the information you provide is accurate.
Since the question of “why do you want to hire someone from the community?” came up before, here is a quick explanation: You, the players, have provided us with amazing art of the game over the years. From skins to item sprites to full dungeons. We want to give you an opportunity to take your (possibly) first steps into the gaming industry. To share your talent and knowledge in creating art for RotMG.
If you have any questions about the process in general, please reach out to Community Manager Acalos on Discord: DECA_Acalos#8049 or via Email: deca_acalos@decagames.com
Public Testing: Moonlight Village and Biff
Realmers!
It's time for the final testing session before easter! Let's have a final look at the upcoming Dungeon from Mizumi, Moonlight Village! You will find portals in the Nexus directly to the dungeon and the UTs are in the Shop! Additionally, we will be having a look at Biff who went into the Gym to get even more buffed than he already is.
We are getting closer and closer to Easter but before that, it is time to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day! Go and hunt the Leprechaun, collect tokens, and turn them in for some nice rewards. Talking about rewards, now is the perfect time for our seasonal characters to go hunt for some tasty shiny items! You can find a list of the first batch of items down below.
You were able to check out the balance and QoL changes on testing 2 weeks ago, now it's time to implement them in the game. We still did some changes based on your feedback on some of the items, so go and have a look.
The changes are very long and you will be able to find out about all of them on our Blog.
Public Testing: Balance Update and more!

This week's testing is all about quality of life changes and adjustments to a lot of different items. You will find nerfs and buffs for several different items. Feel free to leave feedback in the appropriate channels. Additionally, you can have a look at the first draft of the Battle Pass Season 5 and Missions! We also bring some changes to the Seasonal Item Forge.
You will be able to purchase the reworked Items in our Shop on Testing. Please keep in mind that both the Battle Pass and Missions have placeholders in them.
We will change the seasons during the weekend in order to test the Seasonal Vault Expansion and Forge changes.
This testing session contains tons of changes to several systems and items. You will be able to read all about it on our blog.

Lovely Realmers!
It's that time of the year again when love even finds its way into Realm of the Mad God. Our Servers have received some new names in the server overview and in addition to the mentioned things down below, we have optimized the performance and loading time of the friend and guild list. Have a look at our upcoming Valentine's Event and Bounty, the new Season including a brand new Battle Pass and Missions, and the new “Playing Now” Panel.
Valentines Event
One more month and we will finally be able to celebrate the start of spring and hopefully let the cold days behind us for a while. In Realm, you will already be able to enjoy some of the spring feelings. The Valentine’s Event brings to you some angry flowers that need to be reminded of what climate we currently have outside. The Valentine’s Event starts on the 7th of February after the release and ends on the 21st of February at 12 UTC. During the event’s duration, The Gardener will be guaranteed in the Realm, opening a way to Belladonna's Garden. For the duration of the event, we also added new loot you can receive from the Realm Encounter and Belladonnas:
Have a look at our Blogpost to find out everything about the Event and the Rest of the Update.

Some of you may remember our Into Shards and Pieces Event. The last one happened in May and its now time to introduce the IV version of the event to you.

Launcher Improvements
Realmers!
Today we have some amazing news to share with everyone. Over the past years and months, we got a lot of feedback regarding our RotMG Launcher. From the Newsposts not including pictures to CPU usage of the Launcher itself.
The Team has worked hard on improving some of the things sent to us and we are happy to finally announce it.
Changes
The Launcher News is now able to display pictures
Links to Realmeye and Instagram are now added to the dropdown menu.
The sound on the Launcher is now toggleable
A new button to contact Customer Support can be found in the Launcher
Implemented a Progress Bar Indicator when joining the game
Fixes
Fixed the server status banner where it was disappearing if the user opens and closes the news
Fixed several issues regarding memory and CPU usage
While this is not everything that we have planned for the launcher, this should already be a great starting point. (Looking at you CPU usage)
If you encounter any issues with the new Launcher, please reach out to the team via discord, one of the social media channels, or the Support.
