Hey all,
With the expansion now on the horizon, we'll be having a pretty large maintenance tonight. It will go from 10PM - 6AM. I know I know, it's almost like forever! We needed a lot more time to get things set up and tested, to ensure everything works tomorrow (If it doesn't, don't blame me, I don't do maintenance's! I kid I kid, but seriously, I don't do them)

*New dungeon: Quicksand Maze! The lair of the terrifying Nightmares, this dungeon's layout changes randomly each time you enter! Quicksand Maze has two level brackets: a low-level version for level 50+ players, and a high-level version for level 100 players at Mirage Sky X.

Launch date in annoucement it missleading, in future patches could you please be more spacific as to exactly when we should expect severs to go down. Instead of some last minute notice I'm not familiar with how PWI launched it's expansion but as publishers i believe you should try to be more open with your players.0

I want a special pill that could be used on all class pets to allow them to pick up your drops as you grind. At least then they could be useful for something other than looks.
like be able to buy them in the boutique for maybe 10 for 50 silver or 100 for 1 gold whatever would make them more reasonable. each pilll when used would make your all class pet work for 30 minutes or an hour so you wouldnt have to waste time picking up drops as you grind....
...of course with the new stone who the hell will be grinding anymore?
Ive had this type of object in other games I've played and people loved them

It just means that you learn them through a different menu now.
As for the new engine, yes it is. No real noticeable difference though.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Let's see what this expansion brings, yet I can picture ppl QQing about the new classes being OP and all in a very close future. Rebalancing classes would be nice~
I learned to enjoy the ride and to not get excited in advance... It's really disheartening when you have set your hopes too high and get less in return.
As for a feature that wasn't here yet, I'm still dreaming about housing. You guys want a coin sink? Well, isn't it the right time to make it pop up from the hat? b:surrender
Oh and I won't be camping in this thread... It's all about stomping around, pouting and going "are we there yet?" so I'll just pass on it. ^^Maintenance time. Please choose a line:

- Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
- New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
- When will we get new content? QQ
- Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.

You're still spending coin. Just that now instead of talking to NPCs to learn skills we can do that directly via our skill menu.
