Realmpt second close 2017

Since I have no idea what's happening myself, I will just put in the information and make some assumptions, you are free to judge base on your own logic. In the end of the days, we all hope Realm will be back.

Fortress PT has new developer same style as Realm PT, hopy for development manifesto same as Rpt's forum banner, the developer character outfit also the same as the one you see in Rpt.

This screenshot was taken when I thought Fpt's new developer Slave is Rpt's Sandurr because they use the exact same stuff, so I thought it has to do with one of the problem either donation or gameplay that lead to the closing of Rpt, but later on we know it is not, it has to do with the staff betraying or attacks from Fpt or other servers.

Anyway, I'm not going to deduce anymore even though I want to know what happen too, things are here and there, so I am just going to put in the information in point forms:

1. Realmpt opened in 2009 while Fortresspt opened in 2015.

2. Fortresspt has 2k fb likes; Realmpt has 8k fb likes. (Upt has 5k fb likes)

3. Slave joined Fpt 30-Dec-2016, posted his new developer's letter on 28-Jan-2017.

4. Realmpt finished most of the major update and released some including item filter, new interface, party overlay, new items and skills balance change on Jan-2017, still working on remaining code refactor and releasing new clan system.

5. Fortresspt is doing server migration 08-Mar-2017, they didn't specify which PT, and the migrate  date coincides with things happen on following points.

6. At the same time Realmpt had bugs appearing, server status missing, download link missing, donation temporary unavailable, many unexpected events happen in game and free aging going etc. We thought that server is updating and have no worry, but it should be attacks. This last from early March to 23-Marc when Rpt closed.

7. On Rpt forum, (I made a correction here I found that the it's basically just a reply to Rod's post, but Rod took down most commends in the last moments, I got confused), I got that SS from Heretics website just on 27 Mar, posted it on the next page.

8. There are many farewell and questioning threads popping up like this one, so people think that some Rpt staff including developers left for Fpt and then messed around with Rpt server and tried to get Rpt players over to Fpt. At this time, game client is locked and we are not able to enter the game.

9. There are not other Rpt announcements other than this one, and it happens too quickly, only a couple of minutes after this everything is closed. It confirms there are attacks and pressures. From the wording, sandurr or whoever posted that announcement said that Korean company(MasangSoft) together with Brazilian official PT threaten Sandurr and Realmpt staff, but didn't say in details what type of threat, one can only guess that Realmpt at Jan 2017 released too many new features that Bpt and other PT servers are losing too many players, but of course they can be losing players not because of Realmpt but because the game is getting old.

I highly doubt MasangSoft are involved because once upon a time, all Korean players vanished probably overseas PTs are blocked in Korea, I don't know but you never get to see even one Korean this days, so if MasangSoft lose players, it has nothing to do with Realmpt, the only thing matter is the copyright law, but I thought Sandurr sorted that out on 2012..?

Whatever it is, if this announcement is true, then I think the betrayal of Slave from Rpt to Fpt just add on to the pressure on Realmpt. If you notice Slave is also a developer and left just when alot of new features are nearly completed on Realmpt.

10. Later on Upt at pristontale.net updated their server migrations, 22-Mar which is a date much later than Fpt, logically we would think that the words spread and Upt want to absorb the players from Rpt.

I hope this offer a whole picture, because I still have no idea what happened. Realmpt closed too abruptly and there are many who didn't know anything because they were not online that day, hopefully you saw this, and let's hope Realmpt will come back.

TL:DR- Realmpt is probably messed up somewhat and needed the close down, whether or not it will come back we have no idea.

I can't really recall now that the website is down, but a lot new features were added on Jan 2017:

1. new item filter with customisation from pot, gold, weapon type, amour, sheltom to even class spec, you can literally set however you want your floor to be.

2. new party interface and friend list interface.

3. a new system to prevent looters from looting without doing anything, but it doesn't prevent looter from suiciding on boss though.

4. new items 138, mostly weapons.

5. Supposedly new clan system and clan interface, was done 100% but still finalising and didn't get to see it before the sad closure.

6. they totally reworked mage, and reworked some skill of mech, knight, prs etc. very very good skill balance both PvP and PvE, I mean it very very good, of course still not perfect, many skills still suck and assassin is like non-existence in monster field or in Bless castle, but compare to a lot of PTs that I played before, it definitely has one of the best skill balance. 

a few other things can't recall without playing the game and the forum. and I think that refactor code is like remaking a new game, well someone who is good in coding can enlighten me, but just when so many refactor coding are done and then the server goes to closure, kinda sucks and makes you think why, and then we who are fans of PT have no choice but to join the remaining servers. 

You can make your own judgement, but if refactor code is what I think is like making a new PT code that is much easier to work with and upgrade with, then having developers or staff leaving and taking those new refactor PT codes out can also be one of the reason for its closure.

TL:DR-  Alot new features were up on Jan 2017, but a few still in progress due to refactor of code still 90% or something, it's sad we didn't get to see and play them. if Jesus is the light of Christian, then Sandurr probably is the one for Priston Tale.
