[▶Go to Pearl Shop Update]

 

● A new channel ‘Olvia - 3’ has been opened for new/returning adventurer's smooth and seamless play.

● World Bosses will spawn following the time table below and once a world boss is spawned, PvP will not be allowed for 15 minutes.
Before this change, there was the hassle of adventurers having to wait a long time for randomly-spawning bosses, and specific servers the boss spawned had to be overly crowded.
The fixed time schedule and PvP prevention are set to alleviate such problems and also rid of unnecessary time wasted and harm done amongst players combating each other during a boss spawn.
All in all, this would help improve server delays.

● The following world bosses will now spawn properly in the schedule below:

SPAWN TIME	2:00	16:00	23:30
MON	Kzarka	Kutum	Kzarka
TUES	Kutum	Kzarka	Kutum
WED	Kzarka	Kutum	Kzarka
THUR	Kutum	Kzarka	Kutum
FRI	Kzarka	Kutum	Kzarka
SAT	Kutum	Kzarka	Kutum
SUN	Kzarka	Kutum	Kzarka

● World Bosses will despawn naturally after 15 minutes since appearance.
- Even if the World Bosses have engaged in battle, they will despawn regardless in 15 mins. from spawn.
And as reward loot for the pure action of engaging in combat with World Bosses will be given, we feel this will allow more adventures (both new and loyal) to participate in World Boss battles.

● PvP will not be allowed upon a World Boss spawn.

- Duel, Force-PvP, Guild war will not be progressed during this period and damage will not be inflicted on other adventurers.

- Team Battle and Final Battle will not be registrable 30 mins. before, and 15 mins. after a world boss spawn.

- Adventurers in Duel will automatically released from the combat.

- Only Red Battlefield and Arena of Arsha will be exclusively allowing PvP regardless of the world boss spawn.
● Team Battle and Final Battle participation will be restricted before and after a field boss spawns.
● Valencia Part 2 has been added.

- New areas such as Aakman Temple and Roud Sulfur Mine are waiting for you in the new part of Valencia.

● A new PVP penalty system will be introduced to Valencia’s desert areas.

- The existing penalty system for the players with negative karma will be kept the same in Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia (Non-Desert Area),
but you will have to get used to the new system in the desert.

-  If an Evil player gets killed by a monster or the environment (in the desert), the EXP goes down and the crystals might get shattered, but the enhancement count will remain the same.
In other words, Evil players will get the same kind of penalty as what the Good players get when they are killed by monsters or the environment.

- However, if an Evil players gets killed by another player or NPC (in the desert), no penalty will be applied at all. Not even crystal shattering, EXP decrease, or enhancement count decrease.
There’s a catch. If you died this way, you will wake up in the “Criminal Camp.” Your sentence (the “Punishment Buff”) is subject to your Karma point.

- In order to get out of the camp, you can either complete the quests the NPC at the entrance gives you and get rid of the Punishment Buff, or sneak your way out toward the exit.
Just beware of the warders.

- When you successfully escape the camp, players with 0 or higher Karma will be sent directly to Ibellab Oasis, whereas players with negative Karma will be sent to Muiquun, an outlaw town.

[Go to GM Note for Details]
 

● Muiquun, the Land of Outlaws, has been added.

- This outlaw town is perhaps the only place in the continent where Evil players are more than welcome.

- You will not be able to interact with town NPCs unless you have negative Karma. Try entering the town with 0 or positive Karma, and you will be attacked by the guards of Muiquun.

- Muiquun is the only safety zone in Valencia’s desert areas. Therefore, you will not be penalized in any way for getting killed here.

- If an Evil player is killed by monsters or the environment in the desert areas, Muiquun will be the only option it will see in the Revive menu.
