Update: Cosmo & Community
Cosmetics System Overhaul!
Written By: Everest
Hello everyone! We're coming at you with coverage of the 7.0 update! This patch is called the Cosmetics & Community, and for good reason. This update brings a good handful of new features for us to explore. Let’s jump on in!
First, we have the new Discord linking system. When you first enter Origin Isles, you can chat with Wumpus and Bree, and they’ll tell you how to get started. You can link your discord account to your Origin Realms account, which is very helpful.
If you link your discord account, you will be able to display which voice channel you are in on the OR Discord, able to join the supporter lounge vc if you are VIP or higher, and have a custom role in discord showing your rank. On top of all of this, Nitro Users, for the duration of their boosting, will get a sick new hat and back swag cosmetic.
Speaking of cosmetics, let’s talk about what else they have added to this update: The Cosmetic overhaul! With this patch, they have completely overhauled the way cosmetics are purchased, redeemed, and distributed into the economy. Cosmetics crates have been introduced to Origin Realms! Each crate gives three rerolls. From them, you can get cosmetic tokens. Redeem these tokens at Cosmo to redeem your new cosmetics. You can also shift-click any of your existing cosmetics in your closet to get the cosmetic token back! This way, non-event cosmetics are available to everyone, and the server economy gets a little boost plus being able to sell unwanted event cosmetics.
If you have any concerns, here are some points made by Origin Realms in the original Blog Post:
We know that some of you may be concerned about not being able to obtain the exact cosmetic you want, but this update will add more value to the cosmetics you do have, effectively giving you more for your support!
Cosmo Crates will always be evolving, switching cosmetics in and out, adding even more value to certain cosmetics!
Cosmetic tokens and rarity are bound to improve the server economy. The rarer a cosmetic is, the more valuable it will be. You can either collect them all, or trade with other players to earn rubies!
More than 15 new cosmetics have been introduced! Three of these were limited edition force cosmetics that are no longer available in these crates! Another exclusive cosmetic was the Cosmo Hat for anyone who bought a cosmetic before this update! I don’t know about all of you, but Cosmo just happens to be my favorite NPC, and I need to find a way to get that hat!
Some bug fixes also came with this update including back swags being removed when traveling through dimensions, custom furniture can no longer be placed on a horse as armor, and custom wood stripping finally now works as intended. These bug fixes as well as the change of the auction house now being able to sell items at 50k have been awesome changes that will improve OR greatly!
Thank you all for reading, and I hope our paths cross again! (Maybe not in the resource world though, it’s a bit scary)
