The following is an official news post, originally available here.
Hello everyone,
We'll be performing server maintenance later today (we’ll update you with the exact time shortly). During this maintenance, we’ll be implementing a lot of fixes, most importantly addressing server stability and observability issues.
IMPORTANT: We’ve discovered several exploits that make some level 20 players extremely powerful, which would severely disrupt the late game. Because of this, we will need to perform a progress wipe today, and all characters will be deleted.
We want to emphasize that we take wipes very seriously and consider them a last resort. We understand how much effort you’ve put into your characters, and we always try to avoid wipes at any cost. However, this situation leaves us no choice, as it threatens the integrity of the test for everyone.
We really wanted to avoid a wipe, but after assessing the situation, we see that a small yet critical number of players have already taken advantage of these exploits. This is not the fault of the players, and we are grateful for your help in identifying these issues.
To help mitigate the loss of progress, we will be increasing the experience gained from monsters and quests by 40%, allowing you to regain your progress more quickly.
Additionally, we’ll be unlocking 40 quests that were previously disabled.
We’ve also made numerous balance adjustments and general game polishing.
Thank you for your support and understanding, fellow Adventurers!
