Card Trade In Program

Hi all,

As Kingdoms grows and patches are done, it is sometimes necessary to do balance changes to both cards and heroes. Sometimes positive and sometimes negative changes are done.

These changes are done with the best intentions for the greater good of preserving a healthy meta game and making it a competitive, fair landscape for all players.

We understand these changes directly affect some of our premium players and as a result would like to offer a special trade in program where players affected can trade back those cards for gems.

Full details of this program can be viewed on our official forum here: http://wiki.kingdomsccg.com/?q=node/643

Thanks much for all your support!

Patch v0.7.4 is here!

v0.7.4 Patch notes

Currently in development. Scheduled for 8/30/12 Afternoon.

New PROMO!

Unlocked by completing Chapter VI on Insane mode:

Features

Mailbox:
Player mailbox has been added. This will be used for guild interactions and friend requests, as well as tournament reward delivery later on.
Friend List:
There is now an ingame friend list. You can add players from their profiles and you'll see when they come online in chat.
Battle Chat:
There is now a battle chat tab that opens up when a live play match is made.
Guild Chat:
There is now a chat tab for guilds (for the forthcoming guild release)
Hero Trade:
You will now be able to trade in your purchased Heroes for a Hero of the same tier. When you trade, you will lose all hero star progress and stats on that hero.
Battle Interaction UI:
There are new Cast/Banish (formerly discard) buttons which should make it much clearer what your intention is and how to use certain actions. **NOTE:** for advanced players there is a new option now to enable the single clicking that was there before.
Live Play Time Extender:
In live pvp, when you play a card, discard a card, or use a hero ability it will extend your turn timer by 5 seconds (this number will likely be played with)

Arenas

Beginner Arena:
Max hero tier in beginner arena is now T1 so newer players stand a better chance. We had to reset the arena in order to remove any invalid decks.

And much more!
