Realm sealing has been replaced with Overlord Gates! A meter has been added to the T3 biomes (Gorge, Peaks, Isles) which fills upon defeating bosses. Once full, the gate of the respective Overlord will spawn.

• Gates spawn locked. To open them, deplete their health. Gates have roughly the same health as a T3 boss

• You are notified while in the Overworld both when a gate is spawned and opened

• Instead of sealing, realms will be automatically closed by the server if they have too few players for an extended amount of time

• Overlord boss rooms now lock behind you. Be careful and adjust accordingly!

  • If you are not in the boss room by the time the Overlord is activated, you will be teleported in automatically
