An unexpected early update this week featuring a whole new system to test... Entities. This is an extremely early test of a significant system in Realms. Entities are the core of gameplay across the game; they are the goblins that spawn to defeat, the trees to chop, and the quest items to retrieve that appear on your map. This is why this update helps us gather early feedback on issues such as spread, too many entities, too few entities, and lack of variation. Information about the different colours we are using are found in the change log below. Please report any feedback you might have through the bug reporter.
Note: We have a slightly different release schedule coming up which you can see on our Release Schedule page.
