Rage of Mages 2 – multiplayer online RPG

Client Update: Grid has been disabled. Using the grid is considered cheating and will result in a ban.

Explanation: The developers (Nival) envisioned and designed RoM 2 in such a way that the player wouldn’t see any grid. Studying every hill and ravine, memorizing hidden paths where you could pass or hide — all of this is part of the art of playing Allods. The essence of exploration in RoM 2 lies in knowing the landscape. The maps themselves are not very large, but at the level of nano- and micro-relief, forest clearings, small safety islands in the water, or patches in the mountains, the true spirit of exploration is revealed — even after years of wandering, you would still discover something new.

However, the introduction of a hack to display the grid and its legalization on one of the servers has ruined this magic. What once required agility, memory, and perseverance has turned into a mechanical process. The past tension, when you could miss a teleport or fail to reach a secluded spot, created unforgettable moments, especially in the heat of battle. The challenge disappeared when knowing hidden spots could save your life in the most critical moment — and there are many such tricky places, just like in dragon poker (a nod to Robert Asprin).

Some might say, “But how do you calculate the safe distance to the enemy to throw a fireball?” But this is like adding a telescopic sight to a bow in a fantasy world — convenient, but it destroys the narrative and atmosphere. This should not be allowed.

Welcome to vanilla RoM 2, just as they were intended!

Server 11 has launched with new maps and sets for warriors and mages. On this server, enemies have increased resistance to magic and defense. This server is designed for the most advanced adventurers.

The balance of server 11 is structured so that clearing a map with a single class is extremely difficult. So, even if you’re playing solo, you’ll need to switch between characters. For example, one part of the map will need to be cleared by a warrior, then you’ll have to log out, switch to a mage, and clear another part of the map, and then switch back to the warrior (or you can play with a friend). For instance, it’s very difficult for a warrior to kill a level 5 troll on server 11, but a mage specialized in elemental magic can do it easily. However, the mage struggles to kill many other monsters (due to high resistances), which the warrior can handle.

Nevertheless, it’s possible to solo clear all maps on server 11 with a warrior. Fully soloing as a mage is extremely difficult; however, a mage can play maps 9-11 without needing to complete a set on the previous server, unlike the warrior.

• Based on chat log analysis, a dozen players were fined for using profanity, with fines ranging from 1 to 100 million. If repeated, the fine will be higher; ultimately leading to a chat mute.
• Characters with provocative or offensive names were forcibly renamed. If repeated, the account will be banned.
  — If after renaming your character you can’t log into the game: delete the files with the .a2c extension from the game folder. They might look like this: 174972210180.a2c
• One of the top players was fined for maliciously and massively exploiting a bug. The following were removed from all his characters:
  • • money
    • spells
    • experience of the main skill and astral/shooting
    • all items in the bag
    • HC characters were executed (twice)

Reminder of the rules:
Players are required to report any bugs or exploitable game mechanics to the administration… If you find a bug or vulnerability, report it in Discord immediately. Do not exploit this vulnerability again, or your account will face penalties up to a ban.

Battles for powerful artifacts plunged the world of Sarnaut into chaos and ruin. But years have passed, and since then, life has begun to reawaken across the expanses of the allods. Though the mages and warriors of the past left their marks in the grand history, the common folk of these lands now long for simple joys, for peace and prosperity.

In ancient times, caravans laden with rare goods and magical wonders roamed the roads freely, and the taverns of the allods were filled with merriment and friendly gatherings. Now, however, the routes between taverns are dangerous, and journeys are rare, with only the most daring caravan drivers venturing into the wilds. Continue reading ““Mad Caravaner” Tournament 🐪”

Now, to move to the next difficulty, you need to obtain the Treasure, increase your parameters, and have a sufficient amount of gold — only then will the Great Mage transfer you to another Allod!

1. How to obtain the Treasure? It is located with the boss of each map on servers 1-6. The Treasure disappears when leaving the map, so you can’t stockpile them. Besides the boss, another treasure is held by his minion (meaning you can transition to the next difficulty simultaneously with a friend).
2. Also now when moving to a new Allod you need to pay the Great Mage for teleportation (i.e., the hero needs a certain amount of gold to enter the new server for the first time).
3. In addition, there are additional requirements for moving to higher-numbered servers for hardcore players (characters with 0 deaths and 1 death) and reclassed heroes (amazons and witches); see link above.

Important changes: Continue reading “Bosses and Treasures”

As part of the new “Friends of Hat” program, I am delighted to introduce a range of additional bonuses for everyone who supports heta through donations on the https://boosty.to/igroglaz platform. With each level of support, you get the following privileges:

• The ability to automatically create a character with a starting main skill of 20 and a secondary skill of 10. This is particularly useful for players in Hardcore mode, where death means grinding your new character in AFK mode for a few hours on squirrels to get the basic skill. Now, all you need to do is level up any of your characters to a main skill of 20 and a secondary skill of 10 without dying (they must remain on your account without any deaths) – and you can use this feature in your cabinet https://rom2.ru/wp-admin/profile.php
• The ability to reset experience to the level of your choice. This can come in handy when you over-leveled your characters.
• The ability to change your character’s avatar to any of the available ones in this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1DsGO7fTIiUnhtJYeK7107fQ1BBd0pMPzRu2GTLIg8L4
  Please note that all current avatars have been reset to standard.
• The ability to rename your characters.
• The ability to include numbers from 0 to 9 in your nickname when renaming.
• …and more stuff!

I would like to emphasize that my goal is to protect server from P2W, real money trading, and other such unpleasantness. Therefore, Continue reading “Program “Friends of Hat””

What was the problem before? Continue reading “Review for Season 6 (by Arreat139)”
