We are happy to announce significant speed improvements in IdleMMO. We are aware this is something you have all been waiting for due to the high number of new users in the past few weeks. By implementing high-performance concurrent processing, we have drastically reduced the latency per request from an average of 147ms to just 18ms. Our servers CPU usage has also dropped from 60% to 19%. This improvement will enable IdleMMO to scale seamlessly as our user base grows.

While this update is currently experimental, we are optimistic about its stability. Our team will closely monitor server performance over the next 7 days to ensure everything runs smoothly. We'll likely create a technical blog on how we achieved this at a later date.

Guild Activity

Guild activity is now tracked. The following actions are currently tracked: new members, challenge contributions, a member being kicked from the guild, a member leaving, raid participations.

This should make it much easier for guild leaders to track whether members are contributing to the guild or not.

A characters guild activity is held for a maximum of 14 days.

Tutorial

A very simple tutorial is now shown to all new users. The user is guided through various parts of the game by the NPC Leilatha.

Additional Changes

• UI changes (particularly on the app) to help streamline interacting with the game.
• Refreshing guild challenges has been reduced from 4 marks to 2 marks.
• Performance improvements.
• Improved the wiki readability.
• The exact guild raid start time is now visible so players don't need to calculate it using the countdown.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug when a character has a gold amount of exactly 999,999 causing the game to crash.
• Fixed bug allowing players to participate in battles when 3 other characters had an idle action set.
• Fixed bug where the membership effects weren't immediately applied when using a membership item.
• Fixed bug where a characters pet would remain stuck in a location if the pet page was not loaded up.
• Fixed "Canvas" error on the character page.
• Fixed a stuck page bug when viewing a characters profile via the "Nearby" character list.
• Fixed a registration bug that created an account but failed to log the user in, resulting in the username being lost.
• Fixed referral link leading to the incorrect URL on the app.

• Added "Birth Date" to characters profile.
• Updated membership page for the mobile apps.
• Fixed an incorrect error message when sending a pet on a hunt.
• Fixed daily task requirement for cooking. The range has been reduced to 250 -> 400 from 500 -> 700.

Push Notifications

Push notifications for our mobile apps will be phased out over the next 7 days. Please watch for updates in your app store.

If you have already enabled push notifications prior to this update (via the Web App for example), you must navigate to the settings page for the app to recognise that you have push notifications enabled. You do not need to do anything else. Simply navigating to the settings page is enough.

You can test the push notifications yourself by performing one fishing action, or crafting one single item.

Troubleshooting

• If you are not receiving notifications, please use the "Resync" button that is available on the settings page.
• Please make sure your app has the following version code (or higher). You can check the version code in your phone settings.
  • v1.0.0.6 (Android)
  • v1.0.6 (iOS)

Badges

• Players can earn special badges by completing specific achievements within the game.
• There is a badge for every skill when a character reaches level 100.
• Account-wide badges are also distributed to closed beta testers and those with membership.
• More badges will come soon once we track more in-game metrics.
• Badges can be equipped on the characters profile (1 badge for free users. 3 badges for members).

Fixes/Changes

• Performance improvements.
• Fixed the game crashing when the exhaustion effect kicks in for a very small number of users.
• Added guild challenge tasks for those that are in a guild.
• Fixed bug that disabled the ability to scroll on some item listings.
• Fixed the ability to add to an existing market listing when a characters has reached its listing limit.

Version 0.16.0-PB - 3rd June 2024

Push Notifications

We are currently testing push notifications. You can receive notifications when your skill has finished and when the shrine has been activated.

To get started, visit the Web App on your browser (https://web.idle-mmo.com), go to "Settings", scroll down to "Push Notifications", and enable the relevant settings.

This is currently experimental. If you are not receiving any notifications, please use the "resync" button that is available on the settings page. Push notifications also cannot be enabled on iOS devices.

More notification types + native notifications for the mobile apps will soon follow.
