Hello adventurers! We've been working hard behind the scenes to address performance issues, reviewing old code and systems, and upgrading legacy components. Today we're releasing the completion of Frozen Tundra and launching our new event system.

Frozen Tundra!

The Frozen Tundra expansion is now complete! The final sector in the 1 IP wilderness is open, featuring:

• Two-Headed Black Dragon - A new boss dropping the Dragon Cape (requires 90 Slayer for cape to drop)
• High-Level Wilderness Shortcut - New agility shortcut requiring level 60, located near the Altar hut for faster navigation

Major Performance Improvements

We've implemented extensive performance optimizations across the entire server. These improvements include major code rewrites and new optimization practices. While these changes represent significant improvements, please report any unusual behavior.

Event System

We've completely rebuilt our event system from the ground up! This modular framework supports unlimited event types and makes adding new events incredibly fast and flexible.

Key Features:

• Flexible reward system - supports placement rewards, loot pools, team rewards, participation rewards, and more
• Automatic prize distribution via secure mailbox system
• Dynamic scaling - events intelligently adapt if it needs scaling
• Flexible event types - competitive PvP, cooperative PvE, team-based and more
• Real-time event metrics - live scoreboards, damage tracking, kill counts, and post-event summaries
• Event spectating - easily spectate any ongoing event through the event interface

Currently Available Events:

• Survival
• Snowball Wars 
• Rift Event - Cooperative PvE with new loot rolling system, and new experience compared to before with tons of boss encounters.

More Events Coming Soon! Currently we have only ported over the older events, except FFA, to the new system. The new system is fully functional and we can add new events extremely easily - whether team-based, solo competitions, unique challenges, or creative mini-games. Have event ideas? Suggest them on Discord!

Player-Hosted Events are coming next! Players will soon be able to host their own events with custom prizes using the new "Eventbox" object in Edgeville. This will bring up an intuitive Event Creation Interface where you can easily configure event types, add multiple rewards, set timers, and customize your event experience. If anything goes wrong system-wise or the event is cancelleed, the items will be automatically refunded to the event creator via mailbox. We're finalizing restrictions and testing to ensure a great experience for everyone. For now, staff will host events to test and refine the system.

We've invested significant time making this event system extremely flexible, ensuring everyone can enjoy a wide variety of engaging events and help the server by hosting them and donating rewards.

Loot Rolling System

We've also introduced an advanced loot rolling system that's currently integrated into the Rift event and will expand to future content!

How It Works:

• When valuable loot drops, eligible players see a Need/Pass interface
• Players have 60 seconds to decide: Roll for the item or Pass
• The system generates random rolls (1-100) for players who choose "Need"
• Highest roll wins and receives the item directly to their mailbox
• Real-time roll announcements keep everyone informed

This system will be used for World Bosses, Raids, and other group content in the future, making cooperative gameplay more rewarding and fair for everyone!

Other Fixes:

• Healing from the PvP-Cape is now the first menu option.
• Fixed a bug where Max Cape could be used without having all original skills of 99.
• Fixed a client crash if you turned off XP Tracker from the XP tracker interface.
• Updated world map.
• Shops are now instance bound per player mode.

We have many exciting updates in the pipeline, but we felt community events were the focus right now. We can't wait for everyone to experience all the new content coming to RSCDynasty this year! It's A LOT.
