We placed new memory heap into the gateserver which means the session-based will not become null as it was before (and the infamous &kick command being unsafe due to kicking random characters around kicked character) while it may be correlated to the problems we are experiencing, it may be not the ONLY cause. Rest assured, we will tackle every networking problem we can find.
We scanned entire database, every character's skill bag for illegal skill IDs, since the cheat strictly do not grant you additional skill points or grant anything additional else. So we focused on characters that had illegal skills, and found there was only total of four (two of them were already banned)
The servers time zone was changed from EST to UTC due to logging and preliminary maze portals timing being oddly off. I have reconfigured and set the mazes timing so they remain at same relative hours, but time stamps are strictly UTC.
Before the server launched I did get some warning about the manufacturing sea abuse, I however wasn't able to replicate it due to the very little information was given to me, 12 hours ago someone finally decided to make a detailed reported and albeit I was able to replicate and it's already fixed.

Thanks.
