Hello everybody! Our maintenance for the first week of the year will be taking place from 9-1pm on the 2nd so I thought I'd take the time today to get a maintenance post together.
Some projects that we are working on to be implemented within the next few weeks:
Raffler NPC: takes zeny for a random chance at different items.
Adjustments to God Item creation quests
Projects we will be focusing on for early 2014:
End game content: Being discussed in this thread.
Re-balancing less popular dungeons/fields
Further Expanding repeatable monster kill EXP quests
Training Grounds
Follow up to the foundry:
Have you had the chance to run Flavius or the additional Tierra Gorge Battleground? How do you feel the increased rewards do for Flavius? How's the BG scene?
Seems like a shortage of empty bottles persists, currently looking at feedback in that thread.
