ADMIN

We don't want main chars in sub-server, only the alts and the lower level afks that can have safer leveling and more empty spots. There are 480+ unique players online, we want them in main-server.

It is exactly what we always wanted and we always disagreed to have sub-servers, but unfortunately if we do want full performance for most of players we need to make such compromise, because from now on the higher the numbers gets on the server, the lower the performance for most players does get. And it doesn't looks like the numbers are going down at all. It is for sure not something we want to do and we prolonged this moment long enough (remember having such delays on Inception as well when it reached 700+, but numbers online remained stable and we were not forced to open sub-server). This is a deadly combination of really high online players (especially active ones, doing hundreds of actions per second), lots of scripts/features running and the constant attacks we're encountering (that also slow down the gameserver actions and, from time to time - luckily a bit more rare now - causing mass disconnects). And it was really easy if it was hardware-related, because a simple upgrade would've solved it, but we already did a lot of upgrades and resources aren't even used at all more than 40-50%. The gameserver software simply can't work flawless on such stress. But the main reason we want the 2nd sub-server to be implemented differently is that we still want to hold 550-600 cap on main server, only reducing it if really needed, so we don't want a 50-50 split, more like 70-30 split, so the crowd will still be there on main server. Until now what we saw and agreed with is that: - Sub-server won't have Mercenary Squad and neither Gens System. - Won't have any Events/Invasions. - Will have a smaller zen drop rate increase. - Icarus mobs would be moved from Server1 to Server2 and they would be only there. - It will either be NON-PVP with 80% exp or normal PvP with 100% exp. We're still open to ideas/suggestions.

Hello, Here you can throw your ideas about the implementation of a sub-server. Cheers!

I never said that it is normal for a RF to almost 1 hit 20 persons AoE in throne room while not dying, better look for our replies about it (that doesn't exist) instead of trash-talking. But, in the current case, it is normal for a MG to burst other chars 1v1 while dying pretty quick if bursted. You don't have enough dd and ddi in early game to outsustain the MG burst.

Good luck with your Guild!

Hello, as @Spawn said as well you do receive +150% extra zen dropped from Dealer/PRO VIP and the zen drop is also based on your EXP (the higher the EXP, the higher the ZEN, and vice-versa).

Both servers are back up now. Maintenance took longer than expected, some complications appeared. Let's see if we managed to combat the casual disconnects. Thanks for your patience!

About DS I can't personally comment, only other players can give you feedback. But related to feather/crest drop, it is intended to be the most valuable and hard to obtain items in in the early-game, their drop will be raised at some point in future, but clearly not in the close future.

Hello, Today at around 13:30 GMT+3 (Server Time) we'll do a scheduled maintenance on our servers as we're continuing the fight with the attackers, trying out new things, to hopefully get rid of the small disconnects that are still happening from time to time. This means that both Inception & Phoenix will be down for around 20~40 minutes. Auto-reconnect may not work so make sure to be online in order to reconnect! Cheers.

Items on Phoenix are default, and they are perfect for low stats server (~3k points). You can't compare items defence with Inception that does have ~50k points. The reason why they're buffed there.

On our server Valiant is tier4 item (BoK4) and Thunder Hawk is tier5 item (BoK5). Items tiers can be seen on official info topic -> item tiers category. But I will check the normal mobs drop, may be a default drop where valiant is considered higher (by webzen) than thunder hawk.

For #1, it does tell you left side in chat (with blue) if it could find good coordonates on respawn, if it didn't it respawned you on safe-zone. It tries 500 times to find right coords near golden, but it doesn't always find depending on golden zones. It works normally for me and it does announce me if it didn't find good coords for respawn. For #2, keep in mind that Mercenaries does bypass such non-pvp rule of the invasion, which means Mercenaries can kill each-others during non-pvp invasions.

Hello, We're currently working on finding and stopping the root of the attacks we're facing. We'll for sure offer some compensations when we'll fully get rid of them. Until then, please be patient, we're doing our best, but it is not as easy as it sounds due to the new type of attacks we're encountering. Cheers!

Hello, Done :).

Thanks for your interest in our community! We've managed to break the 1st edition of Phoenix's record online of 586 with 3 accs limit (set after ~ 1.5 months) in first 2 hours on this edition, with 2 accs limit! It's a huge record for our community and we hope that you'll have a great time during your stay! Enjoy!

Game has officially started! Good luck everyone!

Don't use that one, it's outdated! This is the correct one for Phoenix: https://mega.nz/file/954nQSxR#me_vLpV5ebWWZxO3NFuOgYLPDxRlaZDb8KkEFfFig78

Server is now up! Mobs will spawn in 1 hour!

Hello OldSquaders & New comers, Less than 15 hours remained for the grand opening of our second edition from the Phoenix server. The Server does start at 18:00 GMT+3 (Server Time) - watch website countdown. You will be able to make sure that client works, make parties, etc. The MOBS will spawn at 19:00 GMT+3 (after 1 hour). Important Info: !!!! Don't forget to choose the 'Phoenix' Server when you are logging on site, else you will be logged on Inception and you will be able to use the Inception services/options instead of Phoenix!!! In order to use the SITE FUNCTIONS you need to ACTIVATE your ACCOUNT on EMAIL! (It takes 1-5 minutes to be sent). You can make DL, MG, RF from level 1 since server starts if you get VIP, else you need level 150. Don't forget that ENERGY ELVES are OUT OF GAME! Their buffs are useless on normal server. Note: You can still play EE at CS where buffs works, but there you can adjust points with /rebuild command, only for the CS. Note2: Also don't make TANK builds (VRF/VDL) as they can be used "for free" at CS via /rebuild, only for the CS. Don't forget that EXP STARTS REALLY LOW and does get HIGHER as you progress in Levels. Note: The same things does apply for mobs on spots, starts from 4 and gets to 7-8 on highest maps. You have access to OFF-Attack for up to 5 hours (no auto-pick). VIP is boosting its duration/adds auto-pick. Except of Golden Budges & BoK+1 goldens, all goldens are disabled so they won't disturb you in the early stages. Note: They will be released progressively as people will be able to hunt them. You can join Public Test Server anytime to check out anything you would like to know/test. You can warp from SITE if you are PK - but it costs much more! First CS will be held on 19.04.2020 (2 weeks after start). Note: The rewards will be progressive, first CS will have no rewards except of Defenders status for the 2nd CS. Each week will unlock a new reward at CS, last one being Senior Mix. This is an 100% International Server, that means you MUST write in English ONLY on /post and Gens Chat. If you won't do this you can get Muted / Warned and even Banned! First GENS rewards will be delivered on 31 April, and they consist in OB3s & OB4s, numbers depending on your rank. Mercenary Squad will be unlocked after Break 1 (level 280). You will need at least level 250 to join Merc Squad, as well as to start a Merc Quest. Professional VIP will be released after Break 2 (level 345). Add luck from website will be unlocked after Break 1. Until Break 1, you can only upgrade from website from +9 to +10, after Break 1 you can upgrade to +11, and after Break 2 to +12 as well. Increase ADD Option from website will be unlocked after Break 1. Wings Protector & Talisman drop from OB5 will be unlocked after Quest System is unlocked.

Hello, Test server for Phoenix is now up. Client can be downloaded from Downloads section. Note: Characters were moved from Inception's Test-Server to reduce your time, just adjust them for Phoenix's stats. Note2: Server is like 85% done, we're still working and we'll work until Friday, so expect some things to not be fully working. We would appreciate if you can bring feedback related to the PvM concept to make sure all chars are fine under the new EE settings, as well as the difficulty of the bosses/mini-bosses. Test server commands: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/2921-phoenix-test-server-commands/ Cheers!

All rewards are progressive, first CS is after 2 weeks not 1st week and without rewards except of defenders status, then 3-4 weeks of unlocking rewards, guild master box being the last. Entire CS system will be posted at the end of the week.

We won't trash on 50% of our new system before it even got to be fully played from start. If there will be any changes to the CS system they will happen on the next Inception. Only 380 non exc. weapons are ingame, those for W4 from Guild Master Box. Same W4 system but with non exc 380.

We've discussed this internally some time ago when it was proposed first time but idea was rejected from multiple reasons. Yes, all ancients sets are available, the list can be found on official info topic.

There are no 380 sets on Phoenix. CS rewards system is different and it is not public yet.

Monday / Tuesday most probably.
