The Halloween event will be live one day early! It will drop within the next hour of posting this update log.
This Halloween event comes with:
2 static avatars
2 backgrounds
6 animated avatars
4 tradable tools
4 untradable tools
3 specials
3 pets
2 item sprites
You can obtain them by finding Vampire Tooths and Werewolf Pelts at the Spooky Graveyard and trading them at Mahols hut.
We’ve also made some slight adjustments to the stepping speed mechanic. We have noticed for a while now that the implementation is flawed and does not work as we originally designed it.
We originally designed it so when a stepping potion grants you +100% stepping speed, it essentially meant the player would step twice as fast thus halving their stepping speed time. For instance, if their core wait time for a step is 8 seconds and they drank a stepping potion that granted them +100% stepping speed, then the end result should've been 4 seconds.
However, the actual implementation simply removed it from the players wait time thus -100% stepping speed meant that their wait time was effectively 0.
We have not addressed this yet due to three reasons:
Stepping speed potions are still fairly underutilised (with the exception of the events) so we saw no real need of immediately addressing it.
Everyone had access to this same effect thus there was no real inherit imbalancement between players.
We are currently undergoing a huge backend overhaul and this would've been addressed when we reach the point of tackling the travel system.
However, issues started to arise since we have incorporated the “first come first serve” mechanic for the event tools. Players who have been hoarding stepping speed potions for months are able to abuse this flaw in the system to effectively reduce their stepping wait time to almost nothing thus giving them an extremely strong foothold in obtaining these items.
As a result, we are implementing the following change:
The lowest wait time between steps has been set to 3.5 seconds. This means that, regardless of a players stepping speed bonus, they cannot step faster than 3.5 seconds per step.
This is just a temporary fix. We will eventually introduce a change to the potion system that will correctly rectify the issue.

- Minor UI bug fixes. (Web App)
- In an effort to streamline, simplify, and clean-up the game as outlined in our blog post regarding SimpleMMO future, we are making a few changes that will remove some existing features we deem unnecessary moving forward as they prove to be more of a burden on bringing the feature up to our technical standards than providing actual value to the majority of players.
- Updated and streamlined homepage UI.
- Removed most headings from pages. They provided zero utility for the majority of players and they just waste valuable screen space.
- Removed Wishlist. Wishlist were rarely used and had a rotten foundation. We have deemed it impractical to spend a good chunk of development time bringing it up to standard when they were relatively unused by the grand majority of players.
- Removed 50/50, slots, and 3 cups. We don’t see much value in keeping these in-game.
- Lottery has been moved to “Mahols hut”
- Removed all forms of advertising. You can no longer watch advertisements for rewards. We will think of a non-monetised replacement for those who relied on these refills. All advertisements will be removed from your device in the next update so this should significantly reduce the games file size and perhaps internet data as it no longer has to download advertisements in the background.
