Datacenter unexpected server issue, we will be right back online soon as possible!

[^ShowStopper^]

Machines are all up, servers should follow in a bit.

Thank you and apologize for unplanned inconvenience.

EU2 p. have been updated with better performances/capacity.
(in you are already connected to it since before 4:30AM UTC 4th february, we suggest to relog to get moved to the new one)
Added also a new p. to the list (same engine of EU2)

EU2 and USA runs an custom low latency/high capacity p. system that is still in beta (phase 2 of 4 now) so can happen rare crashes (aka global disconnection) or maintenance (announced before).

[=drake=]

P. EU2 updated (was down for maintenance the whole morning), please test it.

[=drake=]

New p. USA (located in Dallas, Texas) is operative.
You will see it from the list of proxies at login.

Please let us know if works good for you.
(refrain to use it if you are from europe/asia!)

EU1 and EU2 p. have been updated.
EU1 is located in Frankfurt
EU2 is located in Strasbourg
They should both have really good performances and lowest ping.

In case you are currently already connected to one of those, please re-login to be redirected to the new proxies (else you remain connected to the old ones and connection trough them will be cutted in next 48 hours)

Changelog for updates of tomorrow (some things are active already right now but you will have to wait tomorrow evening to have all fully operative)

- During PVP/PK, for each kills you will now be awarded, regardless where you are, with 1 Mark of Eris. This item can be traded at the Island Teleporter for various rewards (and also for "fame" as 1 Mark of Eris = 1 Fame Point)
- Four new exciting tattoos have been added to the available choices: Bloodlust, Roots, Illusionist and Horrors. They noticeably increase the landing rate of specific effects like Bleed/Root/Sleep and Fear but at same time they also make you weak to other effects so plan your choice carefully!
All tattoos that affect Bleed now also affects Poison (in good and bad way)
- Antharas/Valakas/Baium/QueenAnt/Orfen and Core have now a 25% chance to drop for you a "Blessed" version of their jewel offering additional or enhanced properties compared to their standard version!
- using the Weapon/Armor/Etc Orders received and character creation, is now possible to obtain "Frienship" high level S grade equipment (with 90 days lifespan) that can help you massively to get ready and kicking on Dragon.
- Mana Gain: can be casted only toward party members and cant be casted on self
- Boost Morale: it cant be stacked with Spirit of Shillien and Flame Gust
- True Berserker (kamael skill): does not affect crossbows
- Increase Power (kamael skill): does not affect crossbows
- global pvp damage: increased magic damage by +2%
- mirage: the chances of target loss went from 80% to 70%. The effect requires now at least 100 damage instead of 1 damage to trigger.
- trick/switch: increased landing rate by 10%
- DeathSpike Summoner enchant path Duel have been reduced in power. For example, now in PVP +15 duel is same as +19 power and +23 duel is same as +30 power
- Increased cast time of all summonings by 2 seconds
- Removed 1vs1 Class matches from Olympiads (class unrestricted 1vs1 and 3vs remains unchanged)
- Hide now correctly works
- Mental Shield working correctly as should
- CTF is now accessible again
- various bugfixes

Whole datacenter is having major issues at the moment (everything is lagging, even their website is KO)

We expect them to fix it quite fast but meanwhile is to be expected major lags in the game (we cant do much about it).

[=^TrackZero^=]

Forum issue has been solved. However login issue appeared again, seems that hoster is doing some maintenance , we wrote a support ticket when they will be finally solve it. Hoping for shortest possible answer and resolving of the problem. I will inform you about everything.
Thank you

RAID BOSSES
New respawn time for all the bosses.
The random time have been massively reduced to +/- 30min so everyone have a chance to know nearly exactly when the boss will be available by checking:
http://dragon-network.net/?panel=panel_playersdata
Please remember that +/-30min means that you can have a time-range that goes from -30min to +30min over the expected respawn date/time!

Some tunings have been made also to the respawn time to be adjusted accordly to the new random respawn (reduced and disaligned to not end up constantly on same hour of the *next* day)
We hope this change will bring great PvP for everyone.

RAGE SYSTEM
In addition, currently active only on BAIUM, we are testing the new Rage System for the raidbosses.
The Rage System consists in 5 stages.
At each stage the boss will grow stronger/faster in power but weaker in defence. Additionally will receive a self-heal for 10% of the total HP.
The first stage of Baium triggers after 20 minutes of fighting and every successive stage each 10 minutes.

EVENTS
CTF event is now accessible daily only from 16:00 to 20:00 (UTC)

OLYMPIAD SYSTEM
Seems there have been many misunderstanding so i will re-explain the match limit.
Currently we have the official matchlimit that is of 70 matches WEEKLY (this means 280 matches MONTHLY).
Those matches weekly are 60 1vs1 and 10 3vs3 matches.

Please remind it: the 70 matches limit is a WEEKLY!
