Annual Agonia Awards
Near the start of every year we get together to nominate and select the best and brightest in the community and the game, and have a ceremony night on Discord to announce them.
The results of every year Awards have been added on the Facts Page. To see this year's winners: Agonia Awards 2021
Mastotermite Valentine's Day - Recap
We recently ended the premiere of a brand new holiday event in Agonia, the St. Valentine's Day Mastotermite Mating Season event! We hope you all enjoyed it.
A short congratulations to Thebiggerone who scored the highest, but here's the full post where you can read about that and more: Mastotermite Valentine's Day - Recap
Nyx Round II Recap
We finished round 2 of Nyx, where the Forsaken Brotherhood faction took the win after a few big messes. To see more stats: Nyx Round II Recap
Nyx round 3 begins May 1st with a brand new map!
Cassowary Egg Hunt
The event has ended! Eggs can no longer be found, and you have 14 days to sell them in capital before they get rotten.
Game Updates
Nozama's Shop
Nozama's shady sources have recently started supplying suspicious War Potions, and they have been added for sale.
New Ranks & Titles
Several new ranks and types of ranks have been added!
Faction Ranks
Support was added for Faction Ranks and Titles, the first of which belong to the actively serving mayors of the two capitals, currently Dwar in New Heaven, and Verage in Exodus. These titles will automatically transfer based on the results of elections in each capital. The second of which belongs to the winner of the most recent Agonia Annual Cross-Faction Tournament Event, currently Mutuwa. This will be passed along based on the results of each yearly tournament.
-Mayor Title: Mayor
-Tournament Winner Title: Champion
We'll also add a one year Village-Idiot faction rank to the next player who pisses us off
Weapon Ranks
Support was added for Weapon Ranks and Titles, highlighting the five most skilled in each category.
Honorary Titles
Support was added for Honorary Titles, the first ones being obtained by placing highly in the yearly Agonia Tournament, scoring a killing blow on a Dragon, or being the highest leadership at the end of a round of Nyx.
-Tournament 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Place Title: Gladiator (Unlike the Champion Rank which is temporary, these are 'unlocked' once and you keep them forever)
-Title for scoring a killing blow on any Dragon: Dragonslayer
-Title for highest Leadership at the end of a Nyx Round: Dreamer
Title Display
General Skill Ranks and Faction Ranks will display in local chat, details pages, and character descriptions.
Weapon Ranks and Honorary Titles will only display in character description sections and are currently a sort of trophy.
More ranks will be added! Don't hesitate to send us your ideas.
PvP Quests
We are opening a new set of PvP Quests!
The first quest 'No Man's Land' is now open!
Groups update
Recovering Inactive Faction Groups
We have created a new admin tool to allow us to assign new leaders to inactive faction groups, allowing public resources to be controlled even if the caretakers have gone inactive. As we've said before, this is something we want to be very careful about, and won't give full access for players to control, however the game is very heavily team-based, with many groups being made from the ground up to be faction property.
Players will be able to publicly request access to "lost" faction groups, prompting a discussion and review from admins to judge that the request is in good faith, and that the property was built with the express intent to help the faction, afterwards a new active leader can be appointed.
To make a request:
-The Leader of the Group needs to be inactive for at least 30 days. (Last log: More than a month ago)
-If the request is approved by admin, there is a down time of 15 days before the change will occur. This is to allow us to try and reach the inactive leader.
This is really meant to be a 'last resort' process only. We don't want to see semi-inactive characters holding towns and getting requests every week.
Swapping the Faction of Groups
Another new tool allows us to easily swap the in-game displayed faction for a group, allowing groups created under one faction to be changed to display the newly associated faction if the leaders were to convert.
Players can request their own group be updated or that a group be reviewed by contacting an admin.
Other Changes
-Resurrection at Freetown now brings you back to life with 0 movement points, instead of 500. This is to avoid having the Freetown resurrection point used as a shortcut for PvP reasons.
-Updated the design and images of many various pages to match the new Agonia style. You may need to force a refresh for your browser's cache (Control + F5 being the common way).
-Changed behavior for clicking your own initials on the map, linking you to withme.php (view details) instead of map.php (look around).
-Changed behavior for building Watch Tower faction infrastructure, you may now have it in your inventory or on the ground when building to alleviate confusion.
-Bugfix: Fixed a stall on session timeouts, fixing the autologout, local chat, messages, and all associated problems.
-Bugfix: Fixed an error that caused player health to use the wrong display color on the character select screen.

The first quest 'No Man's Land' is now open!
- You can find the quest at the new NPC Commissions Officer Frinz (Forsaken Bridge) and Commissions Officer Trevor (Order The Eye)
- You need 300 weapon skills
- This first quest is relatively easy and doesn't actually ask for any PvP, but it's a first step of a long series
