Guilds should feel like they matter, so we rebuilt them. Your guild can now claim land, lay siege to enemy territory, build its own guild hall and take on a raid boss that only falls to teamwork. Guild wars are now shorter and more intense.

🏴 Territories: claim the world

Every zone from level 5 up can now be held by a guild. Open the new Lands tab in your guild hall to see who holds what.

Territories

How to claim a zone

• Every member earns influence for the guild in the zone they're in: +1 per travel step, +3 per monster kill, +10 per boss kill.
• Every Monday at 00:00 UTC, each zone goes to the guild with the most influence there.
• To take a zone you need at least 1,000 influence, and more than everyone else.
• The holder has a home advantage: its influence counts +25%, and 250 is enough to keep the zone.
• A guild can hold up to 3 zones. Starter and event zones stay neutral.

What a zone gives you

• Members of the holding guild get +10% Gold, +10% XP and +5 Luck in that zone.
• Everyone else from level 10 pays 5% of the Gold they earn there into the holder's war chest. Players below level 10 never pay tax.
• Every held zone produces supplies for your guild hall every hour.

The travel page now shows who holds the zone you're in and what that means for you.

💰 New: The War Chest

Your guild now has a Gold treasury, the war chest, separate from the Gem treasury.

• It fills with territory tax and Gold that members donate (in the Build tab).
• It pays for sieges and buildings.
• Your Gem treasury works exactly as before.

🏰 Sieges: take their land

Leaders and officers can now lay siege to a zone another guild holds, straight from the Lands tab.

Sieges

• A siege costs 2,500 Gold from the war chest, and the defenders can't refuse.
• It's a 3-day war fought over that zone: steps and kills only count inside the besieged zone.
• Skirmishes: whenever members of both guilds travel the zone at the same time, they clash. Every won skirmish is worth 150 war points. Nobody loses Gold or items, and you can rewatch every fight.
• The final battle decides it: if the attackers win, the zone is theirs.
• After a siege the zone is protected for 48 hours.

🏗️ Build your Guild Hall

The new Build tab turns your land into power. Buildings cost Gold from the war chest and supplies, and supplies only come from territories. Each held zone produces 10 supplies per hour, plus 1 per 10 zone levels.

Guild Hall

Four buildings, up to level 5 each:

• 🏦 Treasury: +1% territory tax per level
• 🗼 Watchtower: +10% home advantage in the weekly influence race per level
• ⛺ War Camp: +3% attack and HP in siege skirmishes and final battles per level
• 📚 Training Hall: +2% Gold and XP for every member, in every zone, per level

Upgrade costs per level: 2,000 / 5,000 / 10,000 / 20,000 / 40,000 Gold and 300 / 800 / 1,600 / 3,000 / 5,000 supplies. The leader and officers decide what gets built.

🛡️ Guild Raid: Roles & Barriers

The weekly guild boss now needs real teamwork.

Barriers

• At 75%, 50% and 25% HP the boss raises a barrier. While it's up, no damage gets through.
• It only breaks when enough different guildmates strike it: about a third of your guild (2 to 5 break points).
• Striking the same barrier twice doesn't count, and doesn't use up your attack.

Raid Roles (pick one in the Raid tab, changeable once per day)

• 🛡️ Guardian: counts double toward breaking a barrier
• ⚔️ Striker: +25% damage while no barrier is up
• 🚩 Bannerman: counts double for your guildmates' Rally bonus

A good mix of roles gets the boss down fastest!

⏱️ Guild Wars are now 3 days

Seven days was too long to keep a war exciting. Guild wars now last 3 days.

Because you can now fight more wars per week, we adjusted progression:

• Rank thresholds went up: Bronze 5 · Gold 12 · Platinum 21 · Emerald 33 · Diamond 53 · Master 75 · Grandmaster 105 · Challenger 150 war wins.
• Your guild never loses a rank it has already reached.
• War winners now get 3 Gems per war (was 5).
• Donation caps per member and war are now 3,000 Gold and 12 items (was 5,000 Gold and 20 items).

About the wars that were running: every war still on the old 7-day schedule has been ended with this update. Its final battle was fought on the points earned so far, and everyone received their normal rewards and rank progress. You can start a new 3-day war right away!

📖 Updated Wiki Guide

The Guilds Guide in the wiki has been updated with everything above: territories, sieges, the war chest, buildings, raid roles and the new war rules.

💡 Tips to get started

• Pick the zones your guild wants and travel and fight there together. Influence only counts where you are.
• Donate Gold to the war chest so your leaders can build and lay sieges.
• In a siege, go to the besieged zone. That's where the points and the skirmishes are.
• Choose your raid role and attack the boss together for the Rally bonus.

All numbers may change with balance updates. Let us know what you think in the comments! ⚔️

✨ New Content

🗺️ 13 New Endgame Zones (Lv.100 – 350)

The world just got a lot bigger! Each zone has 5 new monsters and a boss with hand-drawn pixel art, its own battle backdrop and its own music track.

• Abyssal Sea (Lv.100)
• Sky Citadel (Lv.110–130)
• Amethyst Caverns (Lv.130–150)
• Void Rift (Lv.150–170)
• Clockwork Foundry (Lv.170–190)

In the 20-level zones, monsters scale with your level, so Gold and XP keep rising instead of staying at the zone minimum.

🦎 New Pet: Axolotl

A Rare cave healer that drops in hard Raids. It flutters its gills while idle, waddles when it runs, and heals with Regeneration, blowing bubbles as it does.

• Axolotl grows longer gills
• Lumen Axolotl glows along its back and its gill tips

🌱 First Week Journey (new players)

Seven tasks, with one more unlocking each day after sign-up: 50 steps, 25 kills, Level 5, join a guild, win an Arena fight, Level 10, and your first Raid clear. Each task pays items and level-scaled Gold. Day 7 adds 25 Gems. You have 14 days after sign-up to claim the rewards.

🎁 Welcome Back Gift

Coming back after 7+ days away (Level 5+) gets you a gift: 3× daily login Gold, 2 XP Scrolls, a Plunder Potion and a Fortune Potion (at most once every 30 days).

🛠️ Maintenance Mode

• Scheduled maintenance now shows a countdown banner in the game.
• During maintenance you'll see a maintenance screen with the reason, the expected end time and a link to the forum.

🕐 Server Time in the HUD

The sidebar now shows the server time (Berlin). If your clock differs, your own time appears underneath, which makes it easier to plan World Bosses and events.

🛒 Store & Cosmetics

🖼️ Profile Banners

• Meadow Dawn is the new free default banner.
• 5 animated premium banners (800–1500 Gems): Starfall Night, Sunset Tides, Dragonfire Peaks, Aurora Peaks, Arcane Rift
• 🐉 EPIC: Elder Dragon's Wrath (2500 Gems): a full-resolution animated scene in which a dragon in front of a blood moon breathes fire, lightning strikes and the castle flags wave.

⚡ New Real-Money Exclusive Sets

Stormlord

• Thunderbird Wings (€3.99)
• Stormbreaker greatsword (€2.99)
• Eye of the Tempest aura (€3.99)

Blood Eclipse

• Blood Eclipse Mantle (€2.99)
• Eclipse Reaper scythe (€2.99)

💎 New Bundles

• Adventurer's Bundle: 3 months Premium + 6,500 Gems for €49.99
• Hero's Bundle: 6 months Premium + 11,000 Gems for €79.99

⚖️ Balance Changes

• Skill Tomes:
  • Tomes now drop only from kills, not from plain travel steps (about 1 per 250 steps instead of 1 per 50).
  • Each skill rank costs 2.5× as many tomes as before (one full tree: 79 tomes instead of 31).
  • A reset refunds exactly what you paid. Trees learned before the change are refunded at the old price.
• Smith's Blessing: the upgrade bonus is now relative (×1.1) instead of a flat +10 points (e.g. 1% → 1.1%, 70% → 77%), which matches the banner's "+10%".

🔧 Improvements

• 🥚 Pet eggs now stack (up to 999 per species) in the inventory, Home Chest and Town Chest.
• 👥 Travel Parties reworked: each player can be in only one party, and invites now count toward the 5-slot cap. The leader can cancel invites, and joining or leaving at the same time no longer causes conflicts.
• 🔋 Battery saver (Settings → Gameplay): stops animations and saves battery.
• 📱 Lower battery drain in the mobile apps: audio, the game clock and background requests pause while the app is hidden.
• 📱 New animated boot splash in the mobile apps.
• 🔔 New push notifications (each can be turned off under Settings → Notifications → App alerts):
  • A World Boss is starting in about 10 minutes
  • Comeback reminders
• 📜 Players without a recorded acceptance of the terms of service will be asked once more to accept them.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Tablet/landscape: game content now scrolls on short screens, so STEP and ATTACK are no longer cut off (e.g. iPad in landscape).
• Login loop: fixed the screen flickering between Login and Game when the connection failed (Android).
• Profile backgrounds removed by staff are now actually taken off the player's profile.
• Several security fixes around the Marketplace, guilds, inventory saves and cosmetics.

Thanks for playing, and see you in the new zones! ⚔️

This update brings stackable cards, 53 new items, the first Daily Events, a rework of Smith and Fairy upgrades with new protection items, a gear rarity fix, DM fixes and safety changes, and a cheaper Dragon mount.

Collectable Cards Now Stack!

Copies of the same Monster Card now stack in one slot, the same way materials do, instead of each copy taking its own slot.

What's new

• Inventory: copies of the same card share one slot, up to 999 per stack.
• Town Chest & Home Chest: cards stack in your chests too. Deposit and withdraw them like any other stack.
• Quick Stack: the chest's Quick Stack button now includes cards, so copies in your bag go onto the matching stack in your chest.
• Every way you get cards stacks: monster drops, Battle Pass card rewards, Daily Login cards and trades all add to the stack you already have.

Good to know

• Your existing cards merge on their own. Cards you already own are combined into stacks in your bag the next time you log in, and in each chest the next time you open it. You don't need to do anything.
• Daily Login cards stay separate. They're account-bound, so they get their own stack and never mix with tradable copies of the same card. That way they can't be traded by accident.
• Selling, trading and the Marketplace work with card stacks like any other stack. Trading a card stack hands over the whole stack.

Enjoy the freed-up bag space, collectors!

Direct Messages: Fixes & Safety Update

We've given DMs a round of fixes so messages arrive reliably and the chat rules apply in private too.

Bug Fixes

• Long conversations update again. In conversations with more than 200 messages, new messages could stop showing up. You now always see the latest messages.
• No more lost messages. If a message couldn't be sent (for example because you were sending too fast), your text used to vanish. It now stays in the box and you'll see why it didn't send.
• Capitalisation doesn't matter anymore. Messaging bob and Bob now opens the same conversation instead of two separate ones.
• Typos no longer create empty conversations. Starting a DM with a name that doesn't exist now tells you there's no such player.

Safety & Moderation

• Blocking now covers DMs. If either of you has blocked the other, neither can send the other DMs or /w whispers.
• Mutes and timeouts apply to DMs. Muted or timed-out players can't send DMs or /w whispers until the restriction ends.
• Same rules as world chat. DMs now use the chat length limit and the profanity filter (when it's turned on).

Spot anything odd with DMs? Let us know in this thread!

Stable Update

Changes

• Dragon mount price reduced from 1,500 Gems to 150 Gems
• The Dragon still gives -25% travel step cooldown, the strongest of any mount
• As with every Stable mount, a purchase is a 14-day rental

-# Players who already own the Dragon are not affected.

Patch Notes: Gear Rarity Fix

Bug Fix: Item rarity now affects stats again

Uncommon, Rare and Epic gear was showing the same stats as Common gear. For example, the new level 111 Djinnflame Lamp Rod had 99 Strength at every rarity, when an Epic one should have 116.

What happened

Every item has base stats, and its rarity raises them: Uncommon +5%, Rare +11%, Epic +17%, Legendary +25%. Drops were getting the right stats from the server. But when the game loaded the item list, it replaced the stats of your gear with the base stats. That happened to every item without a Smith upgrade, and the game then saved those lower stats.

This affected all gear, not only the new level 111 items.

What we fixed

• Gear now keeps its rarity stats when the game loads.
• All affected items have been repaired. Uncommon, Rare and Epic gear that had dropped to base stats has its correct stats back. This covers your bag, equipped gear, chests and Marketplace listings.
• Smith-upgraded items were not affected and stay as they are.

Note on raid gear

Raid set gear, like the level 94 Wyrmfire set, is meant to be stronger than regular zone gear of a similar level. A level 94 raid weapon beating a level 111 zone weapon is intended and not part of this bug.

Desktop and mobile app

Please update the desktop and mobile apps once the new version is out. Older app versions can still lower your gear's stats again until you update. If you play in the browser, a page refresh is enough.

Thanks to TR3NCH for the report.

Daily Events are here!

Every day a new global bonus is active for all players. Events change at 00:00 UTC (02:00 German time in summer, 01:00 in winter). The order is random, and sometimes an event lasts 2 days in a row. The same event never comes back the day right after it ends.

The Events

Smith's Blessing

• +10% upgrade chance at the Smith
• Upgrades need 20% fewer materials

Golden Day

• +10% Gold from monsters, travel steps, travel party shares, raids and the Nightwatch

Day of Wisdom

• +10% XP from monsters, travel steps, travel party shares, raids and the Nightwatch

Raid Bounty

• 50% more raid chest drops
• Items that always drop now have a 50% chance to drop a second time

Traveler's Luck

• +30% item drop chance while traveling (steps and monster fights)

Gem Rush

• +30% Gems on all Gem packages and bundles in the Store, on web and on Android
• The bonus is locked in when you start checkout, so you still get it if you finish paying after midnight

Arena Frenzy

• +5 ranked Arena fights for the day (20 instead of 15)

Where to see the current event

• The Daily Event chip in the top bar on phones, or the sidebar on desktop, shows the active event and how long it has left on every page. Tap or click it to open the Town.
• The Town shows a banner with the full event details.
• The Smith, Travel, Raids, Arena and Store pages show a banner when the event affects them.
• The Smith already shows the boosted chance and the reduced materials.
• The Travel drop chance breakdown shows the event bonus as its own line.
• The Store shows the extra Gems on each package during Gem Rush.

-# Events reset daily at 00:00 UTC. Android and iOS apps get the new banners with their next app update.

Patch Notes: Upgrade Rework & Protection Items

Smith Upgrades

• Upgrades can now destroy your gear if they fail.
• Gold and materials are still used up on every attempt, success or fail.
• Protect your gear with the new Protection Scroll (see below).
• If you try a risky upgrade without a Protection Scroll, a confirmation popup appears first: "Are you sure you want to continue? There is a chance you could lose your gear."
• Upgrades with a 100% success chance are never risky and never ask.

Fairy Upgrades

Fairy upgrades can now fail. +1 to +3 always succeed. From there the chance drops:

• +4: 90%
• +5: 80%
• +6: 70%
• +7: 60%
• +8: 50%
• +9: 40%
• +10: 30%

A failed upgrade still uses up the Gold and materials, and your fairy drops one level. Fairies are never destroyed by a failed upgrade. Protect your fairy with the new Fairy Ward (see below). A risky upgrade without a Fairy Ward shows a confirmation popup first.

New Items: General Store

Protection Scroll — 5,000 Gold If a Smith upgrade fails, your gear is not destroyed.

Fairy Ward — 3,000 Gold If a fairy upgrade fails, your fairy keeps its level.

• One protection item is used up per protected upgrade, whether it succeeds or fails.
• If you have one, it is used automatically. You can turn it off with the Use checkbox at the Smith or the Fairy Grove.
• If you have none, the Smith and the Fairy Grove link you straight to the General Store.

Other

• The Smith Guide and Fairy Guide in the Wiki are updated with the new rules and success chances.
• New pixel art icons for the Protection Scroll and Fairy Ward.

Hey adventurers! We're making a change to Lethal Travel rewards. Some of you won't like it, so here's why.

What's changing Item drop chance: 2x ➜ +15% Gold & XP: 3x ➜ +10% (Applies to travel steps and monster kills, mini bosses included. Drop chance is still capped at 100%.)

Why? We'll be honest: the old numbers were way too high. 3x Gold/XP and double drops made Lethal Travel the only sensible way to play. It was flooding the economy with gold and items, pushing Marketplace prices around, and leaving everyone who doesn't want PvP far behind. That isn't fair or healthy for the game long term.

Lethal Travel should be a thrill: a bit of extra reward for taking the risk, not a must-have farm.

What stays the same Ambushes, looting and the killboard work exactly as before Banked Gold, equipped gear and Gems are still safe 5-minute minimum and early-exit fee are unchanged

We know this is a big cut and some of you will be frustrated. Your feedback matters, so tell us what you think in the feedback channel. We'll keep watching the numbers and adjust if needed.

Thanks for playing, and travel safe (or don't) — The PixMMO Team

🐾 Pet Fix: +HP% now works in combat

Thanks to @TR3NCH for the report!

• Fixed: Your pet's +HP% bonus did nothing in normal fights. It only worked in Raids and the Arena. It now works everywhere you fight solo.
• In normal fights it works as extra toughness: every hit you take is reduced. +10% HP means it takes 10% more damage to bring you down. Your HP bar won't get bigger, but you'll see smaller hits.
• Fixed: When you fail to flee, the hit you take now counts your pet's +DEF% and +HP% too.

💎 Gem Economy Update

🛡️ Alt-account exploit fixed New accounts could sell their starting Gems to the Black Merchant for a lot of gold, or pass them to a main account. That's fixed. Thanks to @TR3NCH for reporting it!

🆕 New players

• New accounts now start with 0 Gems
• Tutorial reward is now 1,000 Gold + 3 days of Premium ✨ (was 100 Gems)

🔒 Reward Gems Gems from free rewards (Battle Pass, Achievements, Arena season rewards, Guild Wars, Voucher codes) are now reward Gems: ✅ Spend them on anything in-game: Store, cosmetics, pets, Battle Pass, guild bank… ❌ Free players can't sell them to the Black Merchant, trade them, or use them on the Marketplace 👑 Premium players have no limits. They can sell and trade all their Gems.

ℹ️ Good to know

• Gems you already have are not affected, and you can still sell or trade them
• Bought Gems (Store or Black Merchant) can always be sold and traded
• Reward Gems are spent first, so your bought Gems stay tradeable
• The Black Merchant now shows how many of your Gems come from rewards

🛡️ Username Filter Update

• Racial slurs, homophobic and transphobic slurs, and hate-group references (Nazi, KKK, etc.) are now blocked in usernames
• The filter sees through tricks like extra letters, swapped letters and numbers in place of letters
• Normal words containing a blocked word (like "Raccoon" or "Pakistan") still work
• Signing up with Discord now checks your Discord name too. If it isn't allowed, you'll start as "Player" and can pick a new name
• Applies to new sign-ups, username changes and pet names
• Think a normal name was blocked by mistake? Let a moderator know! 💬

🧭 Smoother start for new adventurers

• After creating your hero you land right on the Travel page
• The welcome screen is now one page with a big Take my first step button. The full tour is still there ("Show me around first")
• Closing the welcome screen no longer turns off the tutorial by accident
• A bouncing arrow points at STEP until your first step, at Attack in your first fight, and after your first victory a card points you to the Raids, where the best loot drops
• The newsletter question now shows up after your first won fight, not right after sign-up
• Newsletter subscribers who never took a step get one reminder email with a link straight to Travel (at most once, unsubscribe via the link in the email)
• All new texts are available in all 14 languages 🌍

More news since "The Bigger Update". Here's everything else from yesterday and today.

🌍 PixMMO now speaks 14 languages

• Languages: English, Español, Português (Brasil), Deutsch, Français, Русский, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Türkçe, Polski, Italiano, Nederlands and العربية (Arabic) — Arabic switches the whole layout to right-to-left.
• Your language is saved on your account, so it follows you across web, desktop and mobile. Without a choice we use your browser's language.
• Pick it from the footer or from Settings → Gameplay, which now has a grid of pixel-art flags. Your flag also shows on your profile as a small round badge.
• Already translated: header, footer, front page, login/register/password pages, cookie banner, game frame and navigation, settings, the tutorial, combat, inventory and the character profile. Battle log lines and a few server messages are still English for now.
• Help us translate! The new Translate page lets anyone suggest better wording for any text and vote on other players' suggestions. Approved texts go live in the game within a minute. Want to be a translator for your language? Ask the staff.

📖 Tutorial rework

• The intro guide grows from 4 to 7 slides and now covers travel parties, Lethal Travel, potions, growing your hero (stat points, affixes, Smith, pets, mounts), the whole Town, playing together (Arena, Raids, Guilds, Market, chat & friends) and goals (achievements, Battle Pass, monster cards).
• The step tracker goes from 12 to 20 steps, with a new optional Adventure stage: rest at the campfire, check your achievements, use the Bank, fight in the Arena, scout the Raids, visit your Player Town, add a friend and join a guild.
• New silver achievement "Top of the Class": finish every step without skipping a stage.
• Fix: the tutorial reward (1,000 Gold + 100 Gems) can only be claimed once per account.

🎒 Inventory & chests

• Bag space doubled: 50 → 100 base slots for everyone.
• New pixel-art inventory with a slot grid (or list view), a side-by-side item inspector that compares stats against what you wear (or any other piece), ▲/▼ upgrade markers and "▲ 2 better" hints on your equipment.
• Town Chest: base 60 → 80 slots, with upgrades to 100/125/150/190/230/280.
• Home Chest: now 150/180/210/240/270/300 slots by Town Level.
• Premium adds +60 slots to each chest, Premium+ adds +150.
• Chests got multi-select, Store all, Quick Stack, partial stack moves, filters and sorting, plus drag & drop on PC.

⚔️ Arena rework

• Fair fights: attacker and defender now fight by exactly the same rules. Before, the attacker always struck first and was the only side using skills, double strikes, lifesteal, elemental damage and pet stuns, so identical builds lost ~87% of the time on defence. Now mirror matches are ~50/50, and who strikes first is a coin flip.
• Daily limits: 15 ranked fights per day. After that you can keep fighting as practice (no LP, gold, XP or killboard kills). You can attack the same opponent at most 3 times per day. The Arena page shows "Ranked X/15", the per-opponent count and the reset time.
• Better matchmaking: the search window scales with your power and widens until there are at least 6 opponents, so top players always have someone to fight.
• LP scales with the power gap: beating a much weaker player pays less, upsets pay more, and losing to a stronger player costs less.
• Season podium rewards:
  • 🥇 #1: Premium+ for 30 days + 3,000 Gems
  • 🥈 #2: Premium for 30 days + 1,500 Gems
  • 🥉 #3: Premium for 15 days + 1,000 Gems
• New pixel-art Arena with an Overview (rank, LP progress, streak, ladder position, season days left), EVEN / STRONGER / WEAKER opponent tags, LP previews, head-to-head history and killboard links.

👥 Players hub & Killboard

• Players hub with Find Players (search by name, guild or [TAG], with online/guild/level filters), Rankings, Arena and Guilds tabs.
• Killboard: a new Guild Wars view with scores, final-battle knockouts, MVPs, replays, war heroes and the closest wars.

⚖️ Balance & economy

• An item balance pass brings 47 weapons/armor pieces and 7 item sets in line with the balance sheet.
• Every change to an item's numbers now shows in a Balance changelog on its wiki page (buffs and nerfs colored).
• World config fixes: zones set to 0 reward step, and Nightwatch gold/XP set to 0, are no longer silently replaced with default values.

🖥️ Look & feel

• Settings rework: pixel-art look, a new Overview tab with your account status and a checklist, and clearer sections (Profile & Look, Account, Notifications, Gameplay, Security, Refer a Friend).
• Town Bank gets the pixel-art look too.
• Phones: in Travel, STEP / Rest / Items sit in a dock above the tab bar. Arena gets Fight / Ladder tabs and a pinned Random Match. Long-press an item in the inventory to multi-select.
• New PixMMO wordmark and social preview banner.

💳 Store & payments

• Stripe (card) is back next to PayPal.
• Using the browser's back button on the payment page no longer locks an offer with "You already have an open checkout".
• A failed checkout no longer blocks a once-per-account offer.
• Emails (receipts, verification, password reset…) have a new pixel-art design. Billing emails link to the ticket system.
• Newsletter: opt in when you register or under Settings → Notifications. It's off unless you choose it.

💬 Chat & Discord

• Slow mode, max message length and banned words are now enforced by the server, with banned word packs for 14 languages.
• Discord market listing posts now show the item's picture.

🔐 Security & privacy

• Session and password-reset tokens are stored hashed, and changing your password signs out your other sessions.
• New passwords need at least 8 characters (existing passwords still work).
• Discord login only links to accounts with a verified email.
• Images that players embed in posts are shown as links, so they can't be used to track readers. Security headers were added across the site.
• Hosting moved to DeinServerHost (Germany), and the privacy policy was updated.
• New account deletion page.

🗣️ Community

• The forum has moved to forum.pixmmo.com, and you can log in there with your PixMMO account. Old forum links redirect automatically.

Thanks for playing! See you in-game! ⚔️

The in-game store is temporarily disabled while the company behind PixMMO is being officially set up in Germany. This is a required legal step before store purchases can resume, and it takes some time to complete properly.

• 🛒 The store is offline for now — no purchases can be made
• 🎮 This does not affect gameplay, progress, or any other part of the game
• ⏳ No fixed date yet, but updates will be shared as things progress

Thanks for your patience — the store will return once everything is properly set up.

Two days, five fixes — including one critical one. Here's everything that shipped: 🔴 Critical: Inventory-wiping bug fixed Combat and travel rewards were silently wiping player inventories — a bug in how the server read stored inventory data meant every kill and every travel step could overwrite your real inventory with just that call's loot, or empty it entirely if nothing dropped. This has been live since July 13, so anyone who fought or traveled in the last 5 days may have been affected. It's fixed now — going forward your inventory is safe.

⚠️ This does not restore items already lost — there's no backup to recover from. If you noticed gear missing between July 13–18, that's why. We're sorry, and we're adding safeguards to catch this kind of thing faster next time.

🔴 Security: Gold/gem duplication exploits closed Found and fixed exploits letting players duplicate gold or gems through the General Store, guild creation, guild bank/war donations, stat respec, inn resting, and voucher redemption — all of it now processes atomically so nothing can be duped by switching tabs mid-purchase. Also locked down an unauthenticated endpoint that let anyone set a guild's war gold/items to any value. Thanks to strelly for the original report that kicked off the audit. 🟢 Fixed: Notification toast popups Unread notification toasts now show exactly once — either live when they arrive, or once on your next reload if you missed them — and won't spam you with repeats after that. 🔵 Redesigned: Roadmap page /roadmap is now a filterable grid (All / Available / In Progress / Planned with live counts) instead of three lopsided columns, so it no longer turns into a wall of empty space or an endless mobile scroll.

Thanks to @strelly_ for the reports — keep them coming. — The PixMMO Team

PixMMO News

🎉 New Features

Item Compare — Inventory now lets you compare any item against your equipped gear (or against another item in your bag) before deciding what to wear. Available from the bag view, grid view, and the paper-doll screen.

Nightwatch — AFK Travel is gone, replaced by a new Town job: pick a shift length (still 1 Gem = 1 minute), go do something else, then come back and collect Gold/XP/items. Purely passive — no simulated combat.

Real Monster Art — Every one of the 42 spawnable enemies now has its own animated sprite (idle + flying) instead of a generic Skull/Crown icon, each with a themed elemental affinity. Portraits were then bumped up to 128px, matched against the player avatar, and cropped/scaled so nothing clips.

Combat Hit Animation — Attacks now play a hit-impact animation on the target.

Travel Sprite Animation — The step button on Travel now shows your character idling or running depending on whether a step is on cooldown.

Beta Tester Rank — Admins can grant a [BETA] tag (shown in chat, profiles, and player lists) that always comes with Premium attached.

Guild Recruitment → Forum — Recruitment ads posted from a guild's Recruit tab now also show up as a thread in the Guild Hall forum, so the whole player base can see them, not just guild browsers. Edits and deletes stay in sync both ways.

✨ Improvements

• Rest was renamed to Heal, and its gold cost now scales with zone progress instead of a flat 10 gold.
• Town Shop got a visual redesign, with fixed image sizing and clearer Gems/Diamonds naming.
• Iron Bar and other smith-upgrade materials are now properly typed as materials (were miscategorized as consumables, which let them be "used" for no effect) — and they stack correctly again, capped at 999 per stack.
• Raid Seal items are now visible in the Admin Dashboard and raid/zone pickers.
• Various mobile inventory button sizing/overflow fixes.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed gold from selling items sometimes not saving if you navigated away right after.
• Fixed the header staying stuck in its logged-out state after logging in, until a manual refresh.
• Fixed boss travel progress resetting to 0 on page refresh.
• Fixed the Attack/Flee buttons getting cut off on shorter screens in combat (a side effect of the bigger monster portraits above) — the combat panel now scrolls if it needs to.

• Active page is highlighted with a coloured pill
• Horizontally scrollable on mobile
• Sticks to the top on desktop as you scroll

🐛 Bug Fixes

🔴 Unequip — item changed or disappeared Fixed a race condition where unequipping an item would sometimes put the wrong item back into your inventory or cause the equipped item to vanish entirely. This was caused by a stale state reference inside the unequip logic and is now fully resolved.

Thanks for your patience while we keep building — more updates coming soon! 🚀
