Death Circle map is added into game, Death Circle is sole capture-the-flag map, Players entered in this map will be tracked with points system which increases as you hold flag or kill enemies. It is very crude (in-optimized and minimal configuration) as it does not give out any rewards or require any entrance fees. Because Death Circle is very relatively unknown map, It is only meant to enjoy different PK aspect but not actual PK (where benefits can play in role) players can safely ignore or participate, Death Circle is opened once a week, always at Saturday, At 2PM UTC. Death Circle is subject to players feedback and opinions, we may alter or even completely remove the map in future, as it just stands to feel pulse among players.

The launcher has been greatly improved once again, With many more fail-safe fallback mechanism meaning, if any of the critical files are missing or corrupt the launcher will self-attempt at fixing those launcher-related files. Additionally, we have launched multi-language capabilities starting with EN/BR-PT/ESP, With RU coming soon. You may change the language any time by clicking the menu near top left corner, next to launcher version.
Amplifier of luck wasn't previously working on level 65 characters, We've fixed so that it now works on characters Lv65 and below.

This condition has become more worse than initially, As always and pointed out by game policies: Account Sharing is strictly prohibited. If you aren't familiar or do not understand why account sharing is prohibited, Please immediately review the game policy right now to understand the policies or risk of facing account closure.
Due to strong rise of botting and more illegal activities, Many players feel they are colossal enough to cheat among community for personal gains, We've always caught and dealt with those players however because some players decided to use smurf (an alternative account or using somebody else's account) to commence illegal activity and trade items/service to main account. When we catch or deal with people who...

Amplifier of Strive/Luck is now usable up to Lv 65 from 59. The length remains at 30 minutes.
Level 70 EXP handicap now only applies to individual, Opposed to whole party. You can now level with sub-70 without penalizing those sub-70 Characters.
Due to fix in EXP system, The infamous EXP jump bug is additionally fixed, You will be not able to level-jump between 79 to 80.
Some certain quest items were allowed to be destroyed/discarded yet quests were unabandonable leading to double paradox of endless loop unfinished quests, Because of this we've updated so most of items are no longer allowed to be destroyed or discarded. We know a lot of people like to bank quest items, and we are working on two things for future, quests would warn if...
After reviewing community's feedback, Flash bomb now has "immune" period of one second after being flash bombed. This means as soon your flash bomb state expires, you will gain immunity against flash bomb (any level) for one second. Flash bomb itself will still operate as normal, You still can throw (cast) against group of players, this immunity is bound to individuals.
We are still working on resolving the conflict when character is above Lv 70 forms party with other characters, If the Lv 70 or higher characters kill monsters, All party members gets half XP. The community suggested that the XP reduction should be bound to individual due to sensitive fact that there are some Lv 70 or above characters with desire to party level lowers...
Chaos Argent Timing has been improved, to provide more consistency in between of each period. As suggested by a member, The timings are now double reverse on opposing days which means: 5PM/AM on day 1, and 11AM/PM on day 2, 5PM/AM on day 3, and so on.
The Amplifier of Luck and Amplifier of Strive is currently over-supplied due to latest addition of Tiger Gamble, the items are quite fair and balanced but they are quite cheap for higher level usage, and thus have been restricted to lv 60 and under, and for those lv 60 and above:
High Amplifier of Strive/Luck is added to item mall to propulsion the characters beyond lv 60, obtainable via Item Mall. They are under the fruits section and can be bought for 49 points for package of three each...

Under some conditions (battle zone) upon closing stall would unexpectedly disconnect you, It now no longer disconnects you when you close stall.
Black Dragon Maps (entrance, lair, and treasure room) are now PK zone due to fact it's inherently dangerous zone.
Potions now heal up to it's bonus amount, instead of whole amount, because not everyone has same amount of HP, potions should be neutral and equal between all classes/levels.

Tiger Gamble is now activated and can be found in all major cities, You can gamble your fairy coins with a NPC called "Jackpot" located at: 1304,529 Icicle City, 729,1544 Thundoria City, And 850,3553 Shaitan City. The following topic is mini-guide about the Tiger Gamble itself, how to use and what to expect from it.
This is beginning of expanding understanding how the newly found gem called "Tiger Gamble" which allows players to gamble using nothing but only fairy coins. The Tiger Gambling system relies on "slots" form factor, In this case there is three columns and three rows, consisting of nine slots. You are to place bets (each row is a bet) and stop the slots (each column) and if you are lucky, You might win a reward.

It is now possible to AFK stall, If a player wish to AFK stall, They must create and setup their stall before proceeding to logout (or close client) and the server will hold your session until the stall have emptied. The system will allow players to overnight stall or create stall without worried about getting disconnected meanwhile. If you are AFK stalling, As you try to enter the account of this AFK stall character, You will first be prompted of "Account is already online" which is perfectly normal, As server will disconnect the AFK stall so you may re-enter the account and load a character. This offering is quite incredible as it will allow economy to be stabilized and reduce the stress when players experience intermittent network...

Now is good as any time to inform community that I strongly believe the black dragon's usual re-spawn length of 24 hours and customary expectations that every time server reboots the black dragon instantly comes back alive, neglecting the previous death and re-spawn cycle.
Black Dragon now stores and spawns independently from server reboots. The black dragon no longer resets after server restarts. It will spawn when it's meant to, in accordance with last death.
Black Dragon respawning every 24 hours felt tremendous level of responsibility and I propose making it only twice a week, thus 3.5 day (or 84 hours respawn) to promote server welfare by reducing time spent worrying about black dragon, and allow everyone to spend more time...
Today we were supposed to have a quick restart that enabled new improvements (removing lag in Argent) which turned out to be troublesome due to some issues with database being unable to backed up, because it's too critical to neglect, I had to pause and prevent game-play until the back up system were sorted out. Approximately two hours later, Everything is back online and running MUCH much more faster. We are now seeing almost 500% quicker on gameserver cycles, which in such dense places like Argent can have very HUGE difference in smoothness of game playing experience.
Thank you for your patience and virtue of understanding importance to have back-up system working properly before proceeding running the game.
We have released new client setup: Version: 1.1.5
You may use your launcher to update as normal, But however if you are having difficulties with our launcher you may want to consider downloading 1.1.5 client to bypass all problems.
This release focuses on stability and compatible for all computers including reducing the requirement for net framework from 4.5 to 3.5 (windows 7 has 3.5 pre-installed).
You may now download 1.1.5 setup from following URL: https://devxf2.piratekings.online/index.php?act=downloads&cid=1
Thank you!
