Royal Restoration Spell


Dear Humans and Elves,

It's been a while since we've last given you any news on the Royal Restoration Spell, and we would like to provide you with an update on the current status.

What is the current development status?
First of all, it needs to be said that, while the change sounds like an easy one to implement (upgrading buildings is already possible, right!?), it unfortunately is not and hence it involved a lot of testing and re-testing so far to get this change right.

Especially the event-related buildings that have a version for each chapter turned out to be a major headache in getting this Spell to you. Whereas your regular Residences, Manufactories and other buildings have levels, the event buildings have versions per chapter, which means that we could not easily just upgrade the building to the next level. To get the planned upgrade mechanisms to work, we first had to change ALL existing event buildings from this chapter-based system to a level-based one. This is a huge undertaking, which not only means that all the buildings in cities and inventories have to be exchanged, also all the rewards from events have to be adjusted. All possible, sure, but a time-consuming undertaking needing a lot of attention to become a safe process.

Has anything changed since the initial announcement?
Since we last gave an official update on this spell in July, we have made a few tweaks to its design, to make sure you'd like it even better by the time it reaches you.

Next steps

We're currently working hard on making the last changes to be able to release the Spell to all live worlds as soon as possible, after the testing on beta is finished. We hope that you understand that we rather invest some more time for testing instead of rushing the release to meet our estimated time of arrival. We started Beta tests this year, and if Beta testing proves successful, we're aiming to release the feature early next year.


We hope that we've been able to give you some further insights into what has been done and what will still need to be done to deliver the Royal Restoration Spell to you. You can be sure that we're just as excited to see it released as you are and can't wait to see the finished implementation!​
