Icon

The Settings menu is a page to modify the player's experience of the game. Settings can be accessed by clicking on the 'gear' icon in the top right. Settings are divided into several pages. Hover over an option in the game to see an explanation.

Options icon

Old Icon

Party

These options affect playing in a Party.

Group

Join Settings

Allowing open join allows players to join you in a party, unless the party you are in is full or this option is set to OFF. You have to enter a join password, otherwise disabling this option won't affect anything. You can also set this specifically for members of your Guild.

Creating a password will force somebody attempting to join to enter in the correct password before being able to join the party. It is recommended to have a password if you are either farming with a permanent party or do not want others to join in.

Visual

These options affect various visual effects; turning some off can improve performance.

Game

Performance

You can cap the number of frames per second the game processes.

AFK

AFK Mode

Turning on AFK Mode allows the game to display a very simple screen when you haven't interacted with it in a specified period of time. This can drastically reduce the system resources used by the game. You can then click the X button to return to the game at any time. Here you can set how many minutes the game waits to activate AFK Mode, and how many frames the game processes per second while AFK.

Floating Text

Here you can turn on or off various numbers that pop out and disappear while playing the game.

Drops

This will turn on/off currency icons appearing when they drop in various windows.

Audio

These options relate to audio notifications. Note that the IOU theme music can also be toggled from the button right next to the one that opens the settings menu.

Audio

Music

You can toggle and change the volume of the music that plays in the game.

Sound

You can toggle and change the volume of the various sound effects in the game.

Challenges

A toggle switch on whether or not you want to be notified when a challenge you are currently queued in, starts. This does not apply to solo challenges. The override option may not work in some cases.

Bingo

A toggle switch on whether or not you want to be notified when the Bingo you are currently registered in begins. The override option may not work in some cases.

Gameplay

Options that affect gameplay.

Progression

Auto progress will start the next zone in sequence once you defeat the current monster. You will want to turn this off once you complete Inferno Mode and start farming Cards.

See here for more information on Offline Fishing.

Chat

Options affecting the Chat system.

Guild

Here you can choose whether to see messages in Guild chat generated when a player invests in a Guild Building.

Localization

Options related to regional differences in displaying information.

Number Formatting

Here you can choose how large numbers are displayed. See the hover descriptions in game for more information.

Character

These options affect the player's Character. They are limited to certain player levels or platforms.

Chraracter

Change Name

Players who wish to change their character name may do so at a cost of 500 Diamonds per name change from levels 1-200. After that, it costs 1000 Diamonds. After level 2000, character name cannot be changed.

Change Password

Players on iourpg.com are able to change their password here.

Delete Character

Players who wish to delete their character and restart from scratch may do so until level 50. This is the equivalent of a hard reset.
