We've fixed an issue causing the Skill Window's Skill Cap input to not handle cases where players enter a Comma instead of a Period for a decimal place, causing the Skill Cap to be set to 0 by error; now you can use a period or a comma.

We've improved House Packing for houses that have many items locked down, it will now pack the items in chunks over a short duration to avoid causing server stalls or lag. During this period you will see a progress bar and will be unable to log out instantly or switch server-regions to ensure that the packing is able to complete and you receive the deed.

We have implemented a new dynamic loot system.

  • Currently it is only active for the "Ice Dragon King", as a test.
  • Loot will scale based on mob difficulty and how many players have dealt damage, plus some other factors.
  • There is a limit cap on maximum drop amounts and limitation for multi-box.

We will look to implement this into other mobs over time and after evaluating this first outcome.

Have fun!
