Topic: [301078] Update: Of Willows and Gems

[-301078] CM Arcanine [None] :: Feb. 24, 2016, 2:07 p.m.

Do you desperately want to replace gems embedded in your equipment, but don’t want to lose the original precious jewel in the process? Eager to get to level 70 and lay siege to your enemies’ alliances? Then look no further!

This update contains some smaller features and optimizations, in particular, the ability to remove gems and an all new building, the willow of experience

Gem Removal

Through the wonders of advanced gemology (it’s a thing, trust me), you can now remove those invaluable gems that you’ve already embedded into your equipment.

• For a fee of rubies, you can now take a gem out of a piece of equipment

• This will not destroy the gem, but will place it into your inventory

• This allows for more flexibility in your itemization choices, and means higher level gems won’t go to waste

The Willow of Experience

Adventuring in the world of Empire has its perks, but for those of you that have already been through the process, or are newly recruited to the game and want to join your alliance mates as soon as possible, we have a solution.

• The Willow of Experience  is a new premium building, only available for construction in the main castle of the Great Empire

• Once built, the building will grant you a bonus on ALL experience gains

• It has multiple levels, granting a higher percentage bonus at higher levels

• Once built, the building is indestructible (can’t be damaged in attacks, or demolished)

• There will be a public order value attached to the building

Other Changes

• Players now have to be active in alliance events in order to receive the rewards

• When you receive a decoration in the daily login bonus, you will now be able to choose where it goes

• The limit of days in the daily login bonus has been set to 7. You will still receive the  best rewards continuously as the days go on, but only 7 days will be displayed.

EXTRA: With this update, we will resolve a bug that causes Berimond Invasion camps to change level randomly. However, the problem may still occur during this run of the event (if your server has the event right now). It should be resolved for next time

We'll need some extra time to ensure that the problems with the Berimond Invasion are resolved properly.

At most, we'll need 30 minutes extra. 

Apologies for the delays,

Steve.

And we're done!

Thanks for your patience folks! Enjoy the update, and let me know what you think!

Regards,

Steve.

Hey everyone,

We've just taken down our Czech, US and Russian servers in order to fix their issues with the Berimond Invasion.

The event will be restarted and all progress will lost. We're currently in talks to sort out getting something to you guys to make up for this.

All the best,

Steve.
