Whoa, what a year! From being excited when we had a few players online, to a thriving game with an awesome community in just a year. It's incredibly exciting to see how far we've come, and how much further we're going to get next year.

To thank each and every of you individually isn't possible, but we've come up with a little celebration event by filling the world with loot-filled [[balloon]]'s, enabling +50% XP (not double, that would devalue a lot of work)  and giving 30% extra Shards on top of every purchase.

- So, what's a Halloween event without killing things? Right, not a Halloween event. But this time, it's not in your hands, as the enemy you're up against is quite hard to hit: ghosts. So to solve that, you're teaming up with the other dark side (yeah there's two) and will be building yourself some brave, emotionally-unstable soldiers, made from Pumpkins and some Luminant Souls. These bad boys will take to battle for you, and guess what? Loot's all yours!

'''New Cosmetics'''
~ The Curse of Aros team

== '''27 October 2019''' ==

'''Support for emoji bubbles'''
 +
- In anticipation of quite a few major changes hitting Curse of Aros <s>in a few years or something idk lmao</s> soon ™️, we've added a new emoji-bubble system that we're trialing with this update. Reason for the system is a more immersive experience where we want to have NPCs be more dynamic in their behaviour. On top of that, this system could allow for player-to-player interactions (such as buttons for quick expressions or, when the hardest two-player boss lands as part of the "Lava Update", possibly battle callouts to make teamwork easier..) You'll see more of this system over time as we implement it in various pieces of content.
  
Over the past months, we have gathered your feedback regarding our cosmetic prices. While some are happy with how things are right now, the majority has spoken and said that our pricing is too high. So, we've taken your feedback into account and are updating to make some changes.
+
'''World Selector overhaul'''
 +
- We've given some love to the world list, in particular style-wise, but also with a new feature that's going live this week. The new world selection interface will begin showing what world is boosted, giving you a visual indicator of where your grind is most fruitful, if maximising XP-per-hour is your ultimate goal.
  
Cosmetic Price Reduction
+
'''Smithing Gauntlets'''
We're lowering the prices of nearly all cosmetics, some by 20% and some by as much as 90%. You will now find that getting a full set can be as low as 250 shards, where some of the most amazing sets (think Bloodlust) are still expensive to have some sort of hierarchy in the outfit wardrobe.
+
- You can now smith Mythan and Gold gauntlets, on top of the previously existing metal tiers. These were missing before, but have now made their way into the game and as such can be obtained for gear presets.
  
Shard Refunds
+
'''Potions?!'''
Now, this would be unfair to people who purchased shards! Correct. That's why everyone who purchased any of the cosmetics has been given the price change back to their account. So, if you spent 200 on a part that is now 50, you'll automatically be given 150 shards back to your character. You can spend those on your next piece!
+
  - The scrolls you've grown to love have had a make-over. Or well, a bit more than just that: they're potions. The reason for this change is that, as we near the release of Alchemy, these items will find their new use within the wide range of tens (or close to a hundred) of different potions that Alchemy will bring. While it may take a bit to get used to the visual change, we believe that once you're over that hurdle, Alchemy is going to come in like a breath of fresh air, with all sorts of unique potions for you to try, brew, and ruin.
 
 
This is a server-only update and will only take a handful of minutes. We will be online again shortly!

== '''20 October 2019''' ==
 
 
 
We're deploying a patch to address some issues in the server and improve some aspects:
 
 
 
  - The path to the furnace is shorter and less obstructed;
 
- Meteorites now have a bright purple message;
 
- Sorting the inventory with a hammer works again;
 
- The PvP square has been fixed;
 
- The Taskboard can no longer be used remotely;
 
- XP rates for smithing have been reduced as they're too high;
 
 
 
We're still looking into the black-screen issue. We will have a fix for this soon. Promise.
 
 
 
Thank you for helping us improve Curse of Aros. This is a server-only update and you do not need to download any update. Thank you!

Happy Halloween!

Ghostbusting Season

- So, what's a Halloween event without killing things? Right, not a Halloween event. But this time, it's not in your hands, as the enemy you're up against is quite hard to hit: ghosts. So to solve that, you're teaming up with the other dark side (yeah there's two) and will be building yourself some brave, emotionally-unstable soldiers, made from Pumpkins and some Luminant Souls. These bad boys will take to battle for you, and guess what? Loot's all yours!

So, to hit the ground running, here's how to participate:

- 1. Harvest a Pumpkin in the grassy fields, just south of the spawn hub;
- 2. Kill and Skill until you've obtained 50 Luminant Souls (any monster or XP activity drops them);
- 3. Take the Spider-Express cart (south of the anvil and furnace) to the event zone;
- 4. Walk over to the East, and interact with one of the Scarecrows scattered there;
- 5. Choose one of the moods you're in (it's okay to lie) and watch it come to life;
- 6. Wait for your brave unit to decimate a ghost with determination;
- 7. Grab the Lootkin that's dropped, it has your reward inside!

There's a total of 5 rewards you can obtain:

- 1. Bionic Skull
- 2. Bionic Ribcage (chestpiece)
- 3. Bionic Limbs (legpiece)
- 4. Scream Mask (rare!)
- 5. a Lootling pet

New Cosmetics

- While this round isn't the most jam-packed with cosmetics as we spent 99% of our effort on the event's gameplay, we do have a few new ones for you to obtain. They're going live within the hour, so keep an eye out, if you want brains!

Support for emoji bubbles

- In anticipation of quite a few major changes hitting Curse of Aros in a few years or something idk lmao soon ™️, we've added a new emoji-bubble system that we're trialing with this update. Reason for the system is a more immersive experience where we want to have NPCs be more dynamic in their behaviour. On top of that, this system could allow for player-to-player interactions (such as buttons for quick expressions or, when the hardest two-player boss lands as part of the "Lava Update", possibly battle callouts to make teamwork easier..) You'll see more of this system over time as we implement it in various pieces of content.

World Selector overhaul

- We've given some love to the world list, in particular style-wise, but also with a new feature that's going live this week. The new world selection interface will begin showing what world is boosted, giving you a visual indicator of where your grind is most fruitful, if maximising XP-per-hour is your ultimate goal.

Smithing Gauntlets

- You can now smith Mythan and Gold gauntlets, on top of the previously existing metal tiers. These were missing before, but have now made their way into the game and as such can be obtained for gear presets.

Potions?!

- The scrolls you've grown to love have had a make-over. Or well, a bit more than just that: they're potions. The reason for this change is that, as we near the release of Alchemy, these items will find their new use within the wide range of tens (or close to a hundred) of different potions that Alchemy will bring. While it may take a bit to get used to the visual change, we believe that once you're over that hurdle, Alchemy is going to come in like a breath of fresh air, with all sorts of unique potions for you to try, brew, and ruin.
