Following on from our last update we are now looking at the next major content patch. This is planned for this year, however due to testing and content finalisation we will be unable to provide a firmer date at this time.
The next major patch will contain the following:
- Instance map for Nation wars which should be really exciting for high level players
- New mid-level dungeon (level 65~)
- Pets (these will just be for show for now, they will be developed further in the future)
- New weapon for each class
- New armour set for each class
- Updates to the chat system
- In-game mail system
- Holiday costumes for Christmas
Please remember that not all of this content is guaranteed to appear in the next update however it is what is planned at the time of writing. If these details should change we will keep you updated.
I would also like to bring the community up to date on a few of the current issues:
Drops
We understand that the community has expressed a dislike for the current drop system and rates. We have investigated this and confirm that drop rates will be improved in some high levels areas. We are finalising details.
Storage
We have decided to increase the storage pages for both the Inventory and Warehouse. This will be updated as soon as possible, but will require a client patch, so the usual testing must take place.
Dummies
We are currently working with ESTsoft on a new plan for the dummies. We would like to remove the 30% limit, and in its place we would like to implement a system that involves capping the skill rank at certain character levels. This system will only be applied to the dummies and levelling your skills under normal conditions will not be affected.
We have chosen not to uncap the dummies completely as this could cause imbalance. With no cap in place it would be possible for low level characters to gain dual transcender rank and make levelling too easy.
As more details of this new system are available we will update you all.
PayPal Payments
We are currently in the process of moving the PayPal transaction system to our own servers and will be handling all payments via this method ourselves, rather than through TXTnation. We expect this change to be finished by the back end of next week at the latest.
We will make a formal announcement once these changes are finished.
PayPal & Bank Transfer Price
Due to exchange rate changes the price of the game has been reduced to come into line with our original published euro price.
Once the transfer to our own PayPal system is complete we will be able to fix the price in Euro¡¯s for our customers, this will stop the fluctuations that we currently see.
Please note that Credit/Debit Card transactions are not affected by this.
