Christmas updateServer MaintenanceWritten by Erza,


Dear players,
We wish you a merry christmas and hope you get to spend some time with your loved ones during these festive days.
In order to celebrate the holiday season, we have prepared a small event for you to enjoy as well as the usual regular server updates.

Christmas Event
Oh no! Good old Santa has lost some of his christmas presents to the evil Grynch Clan Goblins who are trying to ruin Christmas!
Catch them if you see them trying to raid any of the Ascarian cities and return the bags to Santa in exchange for a reward.
Furthermore, the goblins dropped some of the bags when they ran away, which were picked up by other wild monsters! Return these to Santa as well if you happen to find any of them.
The event will be running until 26th December 2019 23:59 CET (shortened due to demand from players).
In order to randomly drop bags from monsters, their max health needs to be 500 or higher.

Downtime this morningServer MaintenanceWritten by Erza,

This morning at 6:49 AM we suffered a downtime of 3 hours and 11 minutes due to a server lockup.
We'll be working on putting a better system in place for these scenarios, so downtime is kept to a minimum if such a situation should arise again.
In order to compensate for the lost time, the experience, skill, magic & loot rates have been doubled for 5 hours to make up for the lost time. Additionally, 2 extra VIP days have been added to all accounts.
In order to fairly distribute the double exp time, it will be spreaded out over the day.


Hours used

7/7

2 hours have been applied from 10 AM - 12 AM CET
The remaining 3 hours will be applied from 5 PM to 10 PM CET
Update: Due to another lockup at 4:36 PM the rates have been extended by 2 hours. They have been enabled at 5 PM and will last until 10 PM.
We're extremely sorry about the inconvenience and are working to get the issue resolved as soon as possible. Furthermore the server save interval has been set to 15 minutes, which means you will not lose more than 15 minutes of progress in case of an issue.
