In particular, we note that the developer intends to reevaluate the events that regularly enliven the game universe so that more players receive more rewards (the original mechanism was considered counterproductive due to the unwillingness of some players to participate in it and others participated in the profit sharing). a small handful of very dedicated players reaping the rewards); The studio is also working on rebalancing the damage level of weapons, which determines the distribution of rewards in group content. would also like to make it easier to form groups via a matchmaking system; or even optimize the fluidity of the MMORPG in view of upcoming sieges.

Adjustments are being rolled out.

Also note that gaming accounts have clearly been stolen in South Korea. The developer is working to return them to their rightful owners, while also announcing a strengthening of account security (specifically through double authentication via a South Korean phone number). Among other things, some Western players playing on Korean servers may encounter difficulties validating their account. The South Korean press, in turn, repeats indiscretions (which were neither confirmed nor denied by the operator).
