Dear Players,

In case you haven't read it yet:

We will perform an additional maintenance as follows:

Date: Friday, 11.03.2016

Duration: 5h

West Coast (NA)

01:00 PST TO 06:00 PST

East Coast (NA)

04:00 EST TO 09:00 EST

Reason:

• Resolving an issue with monsters properly respawning
• Resolving an issue where Liverto Staff did not drop previously from Scroll Boss drops (You can get it now from Hexe Mari from the Scroll Boss)
• Additional Patch Notes including improvements and new features can be found below.

Ongoing:

• Serendia Issue from 1st day of head start; compensation is still being worked on


Initially we had planned this maintenance today for the 16th March, but due to some urgent issues that had to be addressed swiftly, we decided to push this maintenance before the weekend.

The following changes will be applied during this maintenance:

• Character limitation in the chat window will be expanded to 350
• Removed the case sensitive limitation during marketplace search
• Added whisper notice sound. You can switch it off in your game setting menu
• You can open the knowledge window anytime now
• Issue with the crop information window has been fixed (You could not open it before)
• The Liverto Staff (Wizard/Witch) was missing, because it was part of the Mediah Update in KR service. It has now been added to the drop of "Hexe Marie" (Boss Scroll)

Due to the increased "goldseller" population, we are beginning to put systems in place to suppress their market.

• Items traded 1:1 will become character bound and can not be sold anymore to the NPC (character bound)
• Channel chat will now cost 1 Energy for the first and 3 Energy for any consecutive message

After maintenance we will also offer the coupon to NA players who played on the 28th March between 08:00 UTC (opening) and 18:00 UTC (fixing the Serendia Issue) to submit a request for a "Character Name Swap between 2 existing characters"

You may register your request on that page for swapping the names of two existing characters within the same region.
You must have two existing characters within the same region to be able to register a 'name swap'.
Registration will open latest by end of 11th March and close March 23rd at 08:00 UTC.
Name Swap will be applied on March 30th during the maintenance.
If a character, for which a 'name swap' has been registered is deleted within this process time, your request will fail and your coupon will be consumed.
Only one 'name swap' will be provided. A failed coupon will not be re-imbursed.
Only your character's names will be swapped. This does't affect your character's progression.
Note: Please make sure the chosen names are correct. After your confirmation this process is irriversible!



We apologize for incomplete Patch Notes. We will update this during our maintenance. And also provide the German/French version.

But we wanted to share some details ahead to cool your heads until the maintenance is done.

Best regards

BDO Team
