Hello everyone,

I want to say something to all of you, so I can explain why during these last days there was not a lot of information about all that is promised for these dates.

More than a week ago, I had a surgery for something that was not supposed to be complicated but needed to be done with general anaesthesia. The procedure went well but it left me with a few complications and pain, which started to give in just recently. This, that was not planned at all, made me push behind schedule a lot of my tasks and thus, the ones of many others that depend on me.

Despite the pain, I am retaking all that I have to do with all the effort I can provide to get everything done. Meanwhile, the rest of the team continued to work in everything they could.

The previous plan was:

- Launch the Vigilance Towers for Christmas.
- Activate again the same Christmas Event as last year, which was widely liked and accepted but with new rewards, to be able to fully focus in the Towers.
- Open the poll for Haven's transfers and after some days, depending on the result, allow those transfers.

The plan is this one now:

- We will activate the Christmas event the 23rd, with new costumes, other new items and also some surprises during the event.
- Before the end of the year, we will open Amun with the Vigilance Towers to be tested and polished so for the first days of next year they can be live.
- After Christmas (I suppose just a few days after) we will enable the poll in Haven because the system is almost finished. The transfer would be enabled, depending on the result of the poll, after some days of polling. Also, the protocol on how it will be done will be provided.

I must say that I am truly sorry for this situation and I hope you can understand what happened. I didn't count on that procedure to complicate so much, although it was necessary to avoid something worse.

Please, I beg you for a bit more of that endless patience you have and it will be duly rewarded.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Sorry about the surgery complications. I too had the same problems so I know how it feels.

Back to the game topic.. Im glad Towers are still going to Amun before being shot to the live servers. Since we have no idea what they will do. Before NGD was always ready to throw it on the live servers.


Also when you say some days for polling, I hope this isn't 2-3 weeks to a month. Honestly should be a week long polling. Majority of the community is going to allow the transfers but its still good to hear everyones vote. Also is there gonna be Xim bonus for Xmas Event?

Usually you guys have thrown in balanced/updated spells in each recent update, can we expect the same thing when event arrives or when Towers come?

Get well soon

No need at all to be sorry Adrian. Your health should go above all.
All the best to you, make sure you take good care of yourself.

We will try to introduce some few balance changes & bug fixes on each update. For Xmas probably not, but i hope we can do it again with towers

Wish it could be otherwise. Get Well Soon & Best Wishes for the Fullest Recovery, Adrian. Season's Greetings to all at NGD! It will take what time & effort that it takes, & the rest will keep for now I'd think; no rush, take your time, so as to get it entirely right

Hope u get well soon. Personal health should always be before everything else.

Also:
Don't think waiting a few more weeks or whatever it takes would be a problem, because due to the rumored transfers between servers more players have been active on Haven again. Active enough at least

Before any of this happens would really love to know the possible solution for following questions:

– Is the actual goal of the Poll to figure out whether we want to really transfer somewhere or not OR is the goal to understand which one of us need to be transferred and who wants to stay?

– Will players from Ra be offered a chance to transfer to Haven too? Have heard that some would actually want that despite the state of the server.

– What happens to the server and players who decide to stay and is that even considered an option? What if server becomes completely abandoned with only 5 players on it, what happens to it then?

– Do the players that already have characters on the other server but in different realm would have to delete them or not?

– Should clan chest be cleaned empty ahead of it?

– Is the account bounding items truly necessary? If so then
Which items MIGHT be bound then – as far I we left on this discussion it was perhaps only magnanite weapons and boss jewelery or would it be some additional items too? And what might be a fair possible ximerin price of reversing it afterwards then?

Wish you good recovery.

Most of these questions have been answered already. Or will be. Notice he stated protocol of how the Transfers would go after the poll. Haven is active because Ra players are trying to milk the server before it dies. And it’s only active for bosses/drop gems.

No, Ra players will not be transferred to Haven. Please stop with this rumor. As Adrian said that would never happen. Haven I assume is only gonna have two options. Ra or Valhalla Transfers. I don’t think anyone will be allowed to stay. It Would be dumb to stay anyway knowing it would be bad situation if allowed.

He did say only things in character account or characters inventory will be going. Can’t remember if clan chest was asked about. I assume it will be fine since I recall clans will be Transferd too?? This also would be answered via protocol most likely.

Adrian also stated that they would not allow Multi realming with Transfers unless they came up with a soulution. Which will probably be mentioned in the protocol. Anyway doubt they answer these questions because they already have a plan to do so when poll actually comes.
