Greetings from Netgame GM Team,
After the recent maintenance, as many of you know, we changed the
station maps, such as AUG and UFISS, into PvP zones. We realize that
this modification was an unpleasant surprise which caused a lot of
frustration and negatively affected many players’ enjoyment of the
game. Our intention was to encourage PvP, but we understand that the
results were less than desirable. We would like to apologize for any
inconvenience associated with this past update.
A new PvP System will be implemented to resolve several concerns in regards to Safe Zones.
Maintenance Time: (PST)
2011-08-10 06:00 PM - 08:30 P.M.
Description
1. Players whose levels difference is 10 or higher cannot attack each other.
2. UFISS & AUG Resource Sites will only allows level 1-20 players to harvest.
3. All resource sites will be safe zones.
Due to the urgency of the situation, we added this level restriction
into the game. However, in the future, more in-depth changes will be
made to the PvP system.
