The Rocksidian Blade is one of the 3 Elite Blades which are part of the strongest items in the game— the Elite Equipment. 💪

These rare items come with special perks & can only be crafted using high-value resources. 💎

With the recent update, they can now be upgraded to PL18.

Miners! ⛏️

Please be informed that there will be no server update today.

🎮 You may continue playing as usual. Happy mining!

In the Dalarnian mines, you will encounter enemies that come in different forms and sizes. 😱

Currently, there are 4 categories of monsters that come in different variants.

💡 Here's a simple infographic of the things you need to know about Monsters.

What makes mining exciting in the Dalarnian mines is that players get to experience different aspected depths or biomes. 🔥

These mines are only accessible by wearing at least 1 equipment with a matching Aspect. ⛏

Miners , An update on the issue currently impacting the game:

There is an outage with a key service provider that is preventing the MoD game server from syncing data with the BSC blockchain. Unfortunately this is out of our hands to fix. We've been in contact with the provider for the past several hours as they work on a solution.

Two major portions of the game are impacted:
Opening Digs - Can't open a dig because the game service cannot recognize from the chain that the open dig transaction was completed.
Closing Digs - Can't close a dig because the game service cannot recognize from the chain that the close dig transaction was completed.

We'll let you know as soon as the issue is resolved. In the meantime we recommend against trying to open or close digs.

To prevent players from wasting gas on open/close transactions that cannot succeed, we're bringing the MoD game server down until the blockchain service is back online.

Apologies for the inconvenience. We'll announce here as soon as we're able to bring the server back up. 🙏

Update: The Blockchain Service provider has told us they identified the problem and "will provide you with another update shortly."

Hopefully this means it will be resolved soon and we can bring the servers back up. 👊

Thank you for your patience!

Miners! ⛏️

Servers are back up!

All accounts should be synced with the chain again and the service is now under close monitoring. 👀

We've also opened discussions with the service provider to understand what occurred and how we can avoid similar circumstances in the future.

Hello Dalarnians! ⛏

Servers will be down from 3 PM to 5 PM UTC for various back-end updates. Hence, no new client download is necessary to continue playing.

Today's update will be a minor one, but be aware and patient! We’re here, and have started to work on something really special for you. Here you can see a glimpse of what we’re busy on 😉

We will also share an article this week which you really awaited for long. What is it? You’ll soon see. 👀

More info will be provided about the feature we’re building for you next week! See you in the mines!

Servers are back up, Miners! ⛏

There is no client version update this week. Several server hot fixes were applied, addressing some security and stability issues.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days! 😉

Hey, Miners! ⛏

Look out for what's coming because, for the first time in the Dalarnian universe, miners will be able to meet and have fun together in a shared space through our new multiplayer feature. 😱

Curious? Here's a sneak peek! 😉

Throughout 2022, the MoD Team provided weekly updates. And as the game has matured, it will not be necessary to make changes as frequently.

Releasing updates every Thursday may have brought excitement and curiosity about how the game has changed. However, it also set our focus on frequent and small updates.

This came at a cost, as it slowed down our progress on bigger and more impactful features.

Hence, this week moving forward, we will focus on less frequent but more meaningful updates which additionally means there will be no need to download a new client version every week.

Nevertheless, even with fewer regular updates, we will still do smaller patches as needed, but the focus will be on fewer builds tied to larger feature releases. 😎

This adjustment will allow us to:

1️⃣ Test things more appropriately and inform users upfront about upcoming features
2️⃣ Attract more users with proper marketing campaigns aligned with big feature updates
3️⃣ Implement new things faster, as we spend less time deploying and testing weekly  client builds (which had only a minor impact for most of you)

We hope that you will also support and benefit from this change.

Moreover, we just recently published our detailed roadmap for the first half of 2023 outlining which features we are focusing on at the moment.
