Game Update 5 September 2019
New Main Page
Newbie bonuses
A few changes were made to help new players catch up to the first settlers:
Note: the XP bonus doesn't add 30% every round. Instead, every round has 30% chance to earn you double XP. The result is the same, but don't be surprised by this. Reason is to avoid rounding issues.
Other changes
New Main Page
Not a surprise since you have all been testing it for the past few weeks. This change required a lot of work and we are happy that it is finally working and stable.
As you know the plan is to rebuild the full code bit by bit, and this was a major chunk of it, especially as it combined the two most important pages of the game.
Hopefully the new interface is more clear and newbie-friendly. Next page to change will be look around page.
Second phase: Getting new players
With the new Main Page up and running, we are finally ready to open up the game more widely, and get more new players.
And we will need your help for this. We have a few new features to hopefully accomplish this.

Recruits & Rewards
A new link has popped up on the Main Page. It takes you to the Recruits and the Votes (see next point) Pages.
On your Recruit Page, you will find your recruit link which will redirects to the game's home page but with your character ID information.
Votes & Rewards
In addition to MMOHUB, we signed up the game on 2 other RPG game ranking sites and for all 3 sites, we established a feedback mechanism. That means we are able to monitor votes, link them to your character and give you a little reward to thank you for taking the time to vote.
On your Recruit Page, you will find your recruit link which will redirects to the game's home page but with your character ID information.
- Any player creating a new account from that URL will automatically be counted as a recruit by your character.
- A new recruit gives you 1 Recruit Point only. (Purpose is to avoid people from creating multi accounts to farm rewards).
- But the game monitors the progress of all your recruits (you won't know who they are) and gives you more points as they reach threshold skill values.
- You can buy a reward package (1 Ancient Relic + 1 Muddy Gemstone + 1 Gift) for 20 Recruit Points.
- There is no limit to how many recruits or rewards you can get, so share the link with your friends or in other games you're playing, gaming forums etc etc
- You also have links to directly share your link on facebook, twitter or by email if you wish
Votes & Rewards
In addition to MMOHUB, we signed up the game on 2 other RPG game ranking sites and for all 3 sites, we established a feedback mechanism. That means we are able to monitor votes, link them to your character and give you a little reward to thank you for taking the time to vote.
- You can vote once per day only for each site - the sites allow for a vote every 12h but we limit the system to once per day so it doesn't become a chore
- Voting for all 3 sites is very fast. The links will open 3 new tabs, you'll have a captcha check and vote. 30 seconds max, and it helps the game by putting us at the top of the lists.
- Each site gives you 1 Vote Point
- A gift costs 20 Vote Points
- Gift is a random item, it can give pretty much anything, like runes, gold, ancient relics, precious materials or junk, depending on your luck
- Heads-up that GTOP100 feedback is slowish (takes circa 10 minutes), others are immediate
- A big special thanks to those who kept voting for Agonia on MMOHUB for the past 8 months. We were competing against games that had feedback rewards and despite not having any, we were still in the top ones. We are glad to now be able to thank those who help the game with this ingame reward.
Newbie bonuses
A few changes were made to help new players catch up to the first settlers:
- Newbie XP bonus: Affects only weapon skill XP obtained during fights: +30% for the 1st month, +15% for the 2nd months. This bonus is active to all current players that created less than 2 months ago.
- Quest rewards: XP rewards for all three initiation quests and all five Fauna Atlas quests have been doubled (except for leadership XP).
Note: the XP bonus doesn't add 30% every round. Instead, every round has 30% chance to earn you double XP. The result is the same, but don't be surprised by this. Reason is to avoid rounding issues.
Other changes
- Capitals now have a town treasury. The monthly taxes are put directly in the treasury. Only the mayor can store/withdraw/wire money to and from it. Each action is logged in the treasury logbook, which is accessible to all citizens of the capital if you visit the Town Treasury.
- Bank transfers: You can now transfer gold directly to someone's account
