We completely understand that some of you may be frustrated by the wait, but we want to emphasize that we are working hard to implement an anti-cheat system that will be fully effective once it’s live. While the process has taken a bit longer than anticipated due to licensing and discussions with various firms, we’ve now set the latest completion date for February 10th. However, we may be able to roll out the anti-cheat system sooner after performing some final checks and tests.
In the meantime, we’ve gathered feedback from many of you regarding certain adjustments. Specifically, some issues were identified around the drop rates of materials from monsters and the production process on the Lifeskill side. To address this, we’ve made several adjustments to the item drops from monsters.
Regarding the server-side capacity, we’ve made significant progress, but we’re not quite there yet. While some servers are more stable, we are still working to resolve occasional issues on others. Rest assured, we’ll continue fixing and improving this as we move forward.
Here are the latest updates in their respective categories:

- Build System: Fixed an issue where players were unable to place or remove parts in certain situations.
