Whether it was your madness ticking up to 100%, a bad roll on a high-tier potion attempt, or breaking a Notarization contract, the game handled it with an immediate, permanent character wipe. There was no short warning animation, no fight left to play out, and no second chance - just hundreds of hours of progression erased in a single tick. --- ### Why it had to go? While high stakes are a core part of being a Beyonder, instant deletion created a system where catastrophic failures were frustrating rather than engaging. A high-risk moment should create high-stakes gameplay, tension, and unforgettable player stories - not send you straight to the character creation screen without a fight. Losing control needed to hurt, but it also needed to create a narrative. Progress should be regressed when you make a fatal mistake, but never completely erased out of nowhere. --- ### The Good News: the Ordeal system is now live! Instant permanent deletion has officially been retired. In its place, we have launched the **Ordeal System**. Now, when you lose control, your character enters one of **three Ordeals**: **Bloodlust**, **Hollowing**, or **Sealing**. Each one acts as an interactive trial where your actions dictate how much of your progress you manage to keep. While these trials carry severe penalties - including sequence regression, acting loss, and permanent madness - **you now have a path to fight for your character and survive**. --- ### How the Ordeal system works? **1. Trial Selection** The Ordeal you face is not random; the cause of your mutation deterministically routes you to a specific trial: | Mutation Cause | Specific Triggers | Assigned Ordeal | | --- | --- | --- | | **Madness Overflow** | Passive 100% madness tick, or, for example, failing an Avatar takeover attempt | **Bloodlust** | | **Potion Failures** | Failing a pathway-switch roll, first-potion roll, or drinking unqualified potions | **Hollowing** | | **Rule & Ability Breaches** | Notarization contract breaches, Visionary Ascent, Black Armor cap, or Cycle of Fate luck death | **Sealing** | **2. Baseline Penalties & Eligibility** - **Sequence Threshold:** Beyonders at Sequences 6 through 0 are protected by the Ordeal System. Entry-level Beyonders at Sequences 7, 8, and 9 are too weak to manifest an Ordeal and still experience the legacy permanent wipe. - **Shared Entry Penalties:** Entering any Ordeal immediately cuts your current acting progress by 50% across all pathways, auto-releases any held Uniqueness claim, and applies a baseline penalty of at least 1 Sequence regression. - **Repeat Offenses (14-Day Reset):** Every Ordeal entry increments an offense counter that decays after 14 days of clean play. A 2nd offense within 14 days adds +1 extra sequence loss and +15% permanent madness. A 3rd offense within 14 days results in a permanent character wipe. **3. The Three Ordeals** - **Bloodlust:** You are transformed into a mutated Warden in Spectator mode for 90 seconds. You steer the Warden to attack targets in a 60° vision cone. Strikes deal magic damage equal to 55% of your max HP (two-shotting equal-sequence Beyonders while ignoring physical armor). Your total kill score scales by online population; reaching higher score tiers reduces your final sequence regression down to 0 extra sequences lost at Tier 3. - **Hollowing:** You are banished to the Nether as an incorporeal spectator with a 2-hour deadline to possess a new physical body. Your pathway never changes. You must fly through a Nether Portal into the Overworld, track down a live Wild Beyonder within 100 blocks, and drift into it to take it over. Possessing a same-pathway vessel regresses you by 1 sequence, an adjacent pathway adds +10% permanent madness, and an unrelated pathway regresses you by 2 sequences + 25% permanent madness. - **Sealing:** Assigned for rule breaches and contract violations. You receive a 14-day sentence confined inside a private cell in an isolated realm. When a moon rises, all sealed online players are released into the world to complete mob-slaying exile bounties. Each completed bounty shaves 6 hours off your sentence (capped at a 50% maximum reduction). Serving the full time fully restores your character and inventory. --- ### One-time grand amnesty for past victims Because the legacy instant-deletion system was so unforgiving, we are issuing a **Grand Amnesty** to restore players who lost their characters to the old system. If you lost a character to permanent deletion due to madness, failed potion rolls, or contract breaks prior to this update, you are eligible for a **one-time Sequence restoration**. **How to Claim Your Restoration:** 1. Open a **Support Ticket** in our official support channels. 2. Provide **valid proof of your prior achievement** (such as screenshots, server logs, or past verified claims showing your highest Sequence). 3. Once verified by our team, your character will be directly restored to that Sequence under the new Ordeal rules. ## In this post - [Advancement Player guide](https://www.mysterria.net/en/guide/progression) - [First potion Player guide](https://www.mysterria.net/en/guide/first-potion) - [Activities and events Player guide](https://www.mysterria.net/en/guide/activities) ## More news [Back to news](https://www.mysterria.net/en/news) - Pinned Oct 4, 2026 [👑 The Pantheon Opens](https://www.mysterria.net/en/news/the-pantheon-opens) The last major update of this Epoch: twenty-two thrones, one per pathway, and the long road to Sequence 0.
