    [Update] Guild System Restoration (02/10/2026)

    Our team has worked hard and are pleased to announce that Guild System restoration will be completed after maintenance.

    Please let us know if you experience any issues or have any bug reports pertaining to the new system, as we have conducted a rehaul of the legacy code.


    [Update] Update on the Guild System Release(01/28/2026)


    We originally planned to open the Guild System after fully updating the source code.
    However, we have encountered issues with the legacy code, which has made the update process more difficult than expected.

    As a result, we are currently unable to open the Guild System.
    We apologize for the delay and appreciate your understanding.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Due to ongoing hacking issues, the Guild System had been disabled for a long period of time.
    Today, we are reopening the Guild System as a test. Thank you to everyone who has waited patiently.

    EDIT: Guild System will be reopened after next scheduled maintenance, as additional backend work is needed. Thank you for your patience.

    There are no major changes to the system features themselves. However, to ensure a fair and stable environment, we have strengthened the following:

    • Enhanced Logging: We now record much more detailed logs related to guild activities and key gameplay actions.
    • Stronger Enforcement: If hacking or abnormal gameplay is confirmed, we will investigate thoroughly and apply strict penalties, including actions against related accounts when applicable.
    Guild content is most enjoyable when played together, so we have prepared this reopening with extra care.

    Please note: since this is a test reopening, if serious operational issues occur or hacking problems resurface, the Guild System may be disabled again to protect the overall game environment.

    Reporting Guide

    If you encounter suspicious behavior, please submit a support ticket with the following information:

    • Screenshot(s)
    • Time of occurrence
    • Character name (and guild name if applicable)
    This will help us investigate and respond as quickly as possible.

    RedFox will continue working to create a fair environment where everyone can enjoy the game properly.

    Will we get solo bossmode chests too? And bossmode chests that resell for 50 carats instead of the piddly amount they sell for now?

    And Silver Britishes/Cheshire Cats/other EXP and Carat boosts working in solo bossmode as well?

    Guild System reintroduction will be slightly delayed. It will be reopened after next scheduled maintenance, as additional backend work is needed to set our new logging parameters.

    Since the system is being reintroduced after a long time, we are being cautious about it's reimplementation.

    Thank you.

    I sympathize with the disappointment that this wasn't delivered on Tuesday. However, we have to give them credit. They reduced the time to reopen guilds from 4-8 months (assuming Q2 is may- august) down to 20 days (Jan 20th is next maintenance most likely), reducing the time by 80-90%. Given the disappointing results delivered throughout 2025, no one could have imagined that the GMs would pull something off like this.

    Lets just see what happens after maintenance next week.

    Edit: wow there's a surprise maintenance today, Jan 15. we might get this today

    give them credit for what? weren't guilds closed for like 3 years + i have no idea what you're talking about. im not going to give credit to a company that only adds boxes and spenders and with spenders it's same items for years as well. I have to use a VPN to play this game so i don't get ddosed or get my email stolen and you want people to give them credit. Ok buddy
    AND watch guilds not be reopened after this maintenance lol

    I'm completely aligned with you there. The Guilds feature was shut down for over 4-5 years, with the devs making no effort in fixing the root cause that brought the guilds feature down in the first place (hackers) in those 4-5 years. Also the adding boxes part and spenders having same items over and over is not acceptable as well. Same with the ddos issue you brought up.

    When i mentioned giving them credit, I was referring to them reducing the time of reopening guilds from Q2 to the first month of Janurary - and solely referring to this part. Looking at the poor delivery of results in the entirety of 2025, no one would have ever expected, or even imagined that its in the realm of possibilities that they would reduce the time by this much. The fact that this speed up even happened - the fact that they are even planning to reintroduce guilds, is a big plus imo. They could have easily kept it disabled for the next 5 years as an alternative.

    ngl this could be a possibility unfortunately.

    Also, please correct me if im wrong, but unfortunately alot of these valid issues you brought up stem from the game's core designs and how it was architected. Thats why its hard to change these.
    • The release of boxes seems to be a long time game design decision, dating back to the OGP days of having boxes. Not saying this is a good thing. but just saying its hard to change, given that at this point of the game, boxes are kinda the backbone of how items are obtained in the game. If you have any suggestions on how this could be changed, i personally would love to hear it
    • Spenders having same items year after year: yeah i agree this is an issue.
    • Needing a VPN to play so you dont get ddosed: since this game is built off of a peer to peer connection architecture, the only way for this to be prevented is if the devs rebuilt this game's networking architecture from scratch, which is unrealistic to do imo

    Not him but I had an idea

    Boxes are likely a Nimonix thing as well. Since RedFox does events, they should host more events that give people a choice between certain rare scrolls/exos/item sets. Instead of events giving crappy boxes, give like tickets that they can then put in a ticket for to get a choice of rare from a list.

    But of course most of their events give mediocre junk so eh.

    Make every item you obtain from a box perm instead of temp. thats not hard. Game is dead and they dont even make shop items anymore. And if you need a vpn to play a game its already cooked + there are people (mainly people who gw / hack items which are the only people who play this game now) that know how to see your email from the account your playing on, they're also the same people who will close rooms or ddos you if you kill them in a public match lol.

    Looks like theres an update from Fang in the rf discord

    Developer Note:
    We have postponed guild system once again to make a few more system-level improvements to ensure better stability and security.
    We sincerely apologize for the delay. This additional work will not take long, and we are committed to reopening the system next maintenance without fail.

    Looks like this was a last minute decision made by the devs, and looks like Fang was told about this last minute by the devs as well. Seems like it was something out of RedFox's control, and the delay was due to the dev's

    As of yesterday 11pm EST, Fang said

    "I am asking [the higher ups/devs] on ETA of next maintenance. Will await their reply and let you all know."

    Looks like he also doesnt have info on when the next maint is just yet, since maintenance dates are determined by both redfox staff and the devs (according to Fang, "The developer and our staff will decide on a suitable maintenance time.")

    I see. Still I just think it's kind of weird that they promise it if they have a feeling it won't be there if that makes sense

    I think when they said it will be implemented back after this maintenance (or even the last one), the community manager/GM team had high confidence level of it being enabled back. But seems like it was the devs that did not communicate properly, because they communicated something different last minute, saying they need more time to fix some stuff. And id much prefer the GM/CM team do these kind of early notices to us than to completely leave us in the dark and tell us after it gets released. Like i would rather them informing us about guilds coming back on Tuesday Jan 13th, rather than not letting us know and only letting us know like a week or two later, when guilds actually comes back.


    Also Update on when the next maintenance will be
    Fang said in the rf discord:

    "At the moment, maintenance is planned for 1/20. This is not a confirmed date, and is subject to change."
