[Letter from The World of Magic Team]📮
Dear Adventurers,
Hello. This is Kim Namho, producer of The World of Magic Team.
I would like to share new development news as we celebrate the 13th birthday of TWOM's, which started on Apr. 14th, 2010.
I am honored and grateful to have been with our Adventurers for a long time in a changing era over the past 13 years, starting from feature phones.
However, there were many difficulties in continuing live services using the engines and tools we created a long time ago.
The development tools and game engine used during the feature phone era were developed for a 32-bit environment, causing many memory issues due to increased resources.
Moreover, there has been a notice for years that smooth updates and store services may be limited if the graphics API is not replaced in the current markets where we are servicing.
TWOM team went through many discussions and considerations regarding this matter and the future of TWOM service.
And as a result, we have decided to take on the big challenge of changing TWOM's development engine and revamping its graphics and convenience for users.
Changing the development engine involves many risks and requires a significant amount of time and development costs,
making it a challenging decision. However, through extensive internal discussions, we were able to gain support for the rationale behind this challenge,
aiming to create a more enjoyable and expanded game while continuing to provide TWOM's original essence to Adventurers for an even longer time.
And today, after about 4 years, a new era of The World of Magic begins! With great anticipation for TWOM's new era,
I would like to share the first update news titled with all of our Adventurers.
The following are the key changes that will be introduced in .
Major Updates in :
* Development System
- Game engine change
- Improved server processing speed
- OS and database updates
* Game System
- Most in-game UI/UX, including Inventory, Enchant, Shortcuts, Minimap, and Chat revamp
- Quest system, Inbox, Ranking System, Tutorial, and Guide addition
* Graphics
- High-resolution support
- Character and monster animations improvement
- Map improvement
'The Prelude of a New Era' will undergo a closed test in a separate 'test server environment' before the official update.
To facilitate smooth communication, we plan to recruit testers among Adventurers who are mainly active in the 'Korean' server and expect that the feedback from participating Adventurers will contribute to a higher level of completion for 'The Prelude of a New Era'.
Apart from the test schedule, you can still enjoy the existing The World of Maigic live server as it is. After the test is over,
we will make the necessary preparations to ensure stable gameplay and safely preserve your current game data as we proceed with the future update of 'The Prelude of a New Era'.
We will provide further details through another notice as soon as the test schedule is confirmed.
We appreciate your love and support for the past 13 years, and we promise we will continue to do our best and repay you with a great game by listening to your valuable opinions.
Thank you.
