2008-06-04: The Administrations position on the recent events and errors (Updates)

Hello, dear players. Recently, among the active PvP players happened some quite unpleasant events related with the incorrect server features and gaps. We dont want to ignore your displeasure, and came to you with an open attitude.

The first issue is connected with the escape from the battle using the incorrect work of Easy Steps Order. We were informed about this problem last Wednesday. The request was concerned directly to the player ‘RIOT’, but we checked out all other players and have seen that many former .ru and com server players also used this feature. We decided not to block the most active players. And focus on fixing the proper work of the Order, but cannot do that until weekend, because of the troubles on server-side code, and also the inconstancy of this error. So, we have determined to disable the Order temporary for the benefit of comfortable play at the weekend.

Regarding the errors in 1x1 zones. Today we have made changes to the code, which should correct the situation. We are conducting respectively tests. If the error persists today, well fix it in next few days.

Dear friends, we equally treat all players without selecting among them someone special. We do not have favorite players, clans or alliances. The psychology of the players is that they want to see a conspiracy. For example, the representatives of ‘B&F’ alliance said that we are doing special treatment for ‘X+Y’, and vice versa.

We assure you, that we like all the players no matter how much money they donate and what language they spoke. We do our best for the good social environment in game and that is not the easiest thing. Thank you for staying with us. We are trying to solve all ingame problems in the shortest possible time to make your gameplay comfortable.

2008-05-30: Free Redistribution and Scrolls update (Updates)
3 free guild and religion redistributions are available to all users. After using these free redistributions next ones will be available only for potions. The cost of platinum redistribution potion has been decreased to 25pt, and we also added new scrolls for such potions to the Scribe Store. Scrolls are quite hard to create, but the cost of the potion will be lower than 2.5 times.

Also, new recipes for Trasmuters are available in Scribe Store:
  • Transmuter – Move essence to Transmuter to change randomly the type of modifier. Disappears after usage.
  • Enhanced Transmuter – Move any gear to Enhanced Transmuter to change randomly the type of modifier without changing its power. Disappears after usage.

Scroll "Create Enchanted Mana Shield" now requires 25 pieces of different herbs instead of 85 pieces. You may need to clear the data to change the previously learned receipt.
