*Silvervine System

Spoiler

What is the silvervine system?

• The silvervine system is a way for players to gain access to item mall items and unique quest items through in game play or trade with other players.

How do I earn silvervine?

• The silvervine cats will offer a serious of tasks that can be completed for a silvervine. In V2 Silvervine can also be purchased with zeny (limitations apply).
• Silvervine Boxes can be purchased from other players that have purchased them in the item mall.

Wait what were those limitations?

• Characters will be limited to the amount of silvervine that can be earn during the month. Currently the plan is that each character can earn about 100 silvervine per month. Silvervine will be account bound so characters on accounts can pool their silvervine earnings. We will be evaluating how silvervine is earned and used to see if we need to change the system.

What can I use the silvervine for?

• Enriched/HD Ore and almost everything that is currently in the item mall.

What will you change in the future?

• Silvervine will be used to complete headgear event quests and some interesting cosmetic option quests we have planned for the future the future.

Aren't you worried about bots?

• We will be monitoring the bot situation for silvervine and adjust the system as needed to meet the needs of the server.

4.- What is this Silvervine "Earnings cap"?

 

It's the amount of Silvervine a character can earn through quests per month. The cap used to be 100, now it's 150.

[yoyoninetail]

So... normally we have wait 4 hours for you to ADD costumes for that nice CA$H, now we have to wait 4 hours for you to REMOVE CA$H costumes.

And move 1 NPC.

Cant that be done a bit faster?

[ad0l]

i wish you include angel spirit and fish in mouth head gears hehe

[purplepopcorn]

can you please increase the spawns in geffen, payon, and prontera guild dungeons?

[iROBusterCall]

So when is the silvervine stacking update?

[Hagges]

Merchant NPC inside Al De Baran will now accept 20 Iron instead of 20 Steel for the Phantom of Opera.

srsly? -.-
You couldn't announce that earlier?
I vote for an open list of bugs you plan to fix so that we're not forced to live with them and not get "punished" later.

Thanks!

They did.

[purplepopcorn]

They did.

no, they didn't. before the PK patch they had more spawns (geffen gd seemed nearly double of what it is now). the only thing they did was remove some of the timed spawns. if you actually went to these guild dungeons you would understand what im talking about.

These things should only take less than an hour.. lol

[hansibaer]

standard maintenance on euro was 2 hours. during this time they did accountsplits, guildleaderchange and other customerrelated stuff. you do nothing of that. its really damn slow. maybe you can explain what takes so much time and why you do it during the day and not at night, like other hosters do. on euro it was 06-08 am i think. on EU its primetime right now.

The people who do the actual work are based in California, PST time zone. Maintenance occurs during this time, because nobody likes to work overtime during non business hours. If you had a real job and responsibilities, you would understand this, because people like to leave work by 5 PM and get on to the rest of their lives.

Generally, a maintenance covers server hardware and software, reliability checks and applying fix patch files (server software/OS). Also database integrity and backups related. Whatever it takes to ensure server stability.

[Alstruction]

What about the server connection issues?

so this is a host/tower maintenance? not just a simple adding, removing and reloading scripts and backing up sql ? :/

Comments like these are like cancer.

[Lightout1989]

IIRC a lot of MMORPG companies do this. They stress test the server during maintenances, and a lot of other things to ensure server stability and whatnot.

Agreed. I guess the only thing we, as players, can do is avoid using an NPC with a bad script.
