Hey players of Kingdom of Riches. A new bunch of things have been added to the game, effecting high level players.

The Total stats player ranks now go up to rank 50, magic ranks go up to rank 25.

The level cap has been lifted from level 300 to level 1000.

A new shop was added to a new level 300 location, containing a new armour item, new wand and new Magic weapon. The melee weapon for now is unchanged, that being the ‘Sun Dagger’.

NOTE: If you are the owner of a clan and do not want it to be warred, you have 24hours to enter peaceful mode. An updated script will be uploaded after an announcement here.
