Blizzard has released a November 10 server hotfix (released at noon on November 11, Beijing time), including previously announced class changes: Hunter and Warlock pets, Pain Warlock, and Enhanced Shaman. The auction house changes listed in the original post have been removed and are now available for maintenance on November 17. The following are sorted by original post, and the specific values are subject to the official original post.
Druid, Paladin, Priest, Warrior
Druid: Fixed an issue where Omen of Clarity could not trigger after switching specializations; Restoration of Nature's Agility now also instantly causes Feral Growth.
Paladin: shield ramparts can be tracked in cooldown manager.
Priest: Vampire Embrace healing no longer triggers Apocalypse enchantment; Holy Nova will now be properly forgotten when untalented.
Warrior: Weapon Specialization's Sweep no longer costs more times before hitting a second target.
Hunter
Fixed pet hit points incorrectly reaching 150% of normal. Now 115% of normal.
Arcane Shot mana costs 11% of base mana at all levels; almost the same at levels 6 and 60, slightly lower at intermediate levels.
Beast Control: The mana cost of summoning the eagle has also been changed to 11% of the base mana; the eagle's melee damage has been increased by approximately 80%.
Shaman
Whirlpool weapons can be tracked in the cooldown manager; weapon enhancements and weapon totems can now work simultaneously, such as windrage weapons and windrage totems, both have a chance to trigger.
Enhancement: Storm Strike damage reduced to 100% weapon damage (down from 150%), cooldown increased to 8 seconds (down from 6 seconds).
Improved: Intelligence reduced the percentage of Intelligence converted to Aggressive Strength to 33/66/100%(from 50/100/150%).
Enhancement: Whirlpool weapon reduces casting time and mana cost by 20% per tier (up from 4/8/12/16/20%). Trigger rate increases with tier to 6/7/8/9/10 per minute (up from 20 per minute per tier). The tooltip shows trigger rate based on master weapon speed.
Developer's note: Changes made during beta allowed the Enhancement Shaman to be overly biased towards spell power and intelligence equipment, deviating from the core gameplay of Wind Fury. Changes were made before the team dungeon opened to avoid equipment that would depreciate after players fought over it.
Warlock
Imp Flame Arrow base damage increased for the first 4 ranks; Imp, Voidwalker, Succubus, and Male Succubus base health increased by approximately 15%; fixed Succubus Whiplash sound playing too often.
Affliction: Siphon of Soul has been changed to increase the effects of Drain Life, Drain Soul, and Torture by 4/8/12% each, based on your Corruption, Siphon Life, and Suffering spells on the target, up to a maximum of 36%.
Affliction: Torment damage reduced by 30%. No longer increases damage over time on target. Causes Shadow damage every second for 6 seconds instead. Increases bounce speed of Siphon Life, Corruption and Affliction by 100% during channeling (same duration).
Destruction: Fixed an issue where Catastrophe did not trigger a public cooldown.
Monsters and characters
Killing Broken Spear Trolls no longer gains experience.
The innkeeper was more accurate when asked,"Tell me which dungeons I can explore."
Items
All mounts sold by mount merchants of races have been changed to bind upon pickup.
Sparkle Lance wand now deals arcane damage instead of nature damage.

Professions
Alchemy: Beginner Arcane Potion price reduced to 5 copper (from 25 copper); Recipe: Potion of Greater Fire renamed Recipe: Potion of Divine Energy.
Forge: Rough Grinding Wheel now increases ability to 90 (up from 75). Cooking: Intermediate Campfire Kit placement requirement reduced to Cooking 90 (up from 140).
Enchant: Arcane Reclaimer is now made with Rune Gold Rod instead of Rune True Silver Rod, and works correctly against lower ranks of enchanters; minor spirit enchantments on boots and bracers now work correctly.
Engineering: Iron Grenade Shop Price reduced to 1 Silver and 25 Copper (up from 5 Silver); Swift Strike Bullets and Swift Feather Arrows are no longer bound when picked (available only when raid dungeons are open).
Fishing: Fixed an issue where fishing racks sometimes did not give bait to eligible players. Other known issues are still being addressed.
Quest
Most quests at level 48 and above now reward additional Coins. Forever does not have the EXP to Coin mechanism for level 60 quests. This change is to allow players to turn in quests as they progress; quests with valuable item rewards, repeatable quests, and overly simple quests are excluded.
Fixed issues with the Summoning of Water series, Chief Engineer Scuti, Help, Rescue OOX-22/FE! missions, etc.; Zephyr Island Camping Beginner: Herbology completed in Shendar Village.
Broken Leaf and Saltwater Fisheye of Silastrus now drop properly; Woodland Vipers in River Grove and Nighttown Werewolves in Twilight Forest have increased in numbers.
World
Fixed an issue where people were sent to the wrong cemetery after death, and an issue where residents of Burning Wood Village did not appear around dawn and dusk.
Blizzard has deployed a fix in all regions: Shamans who lost their totems due to server crashes will have their totems returned to their backpacks. Players who were online at the time will need to set aside space in their backpacks before logging back in to collect them.
Blizzard explained: Forever intentionally removed the EXP to Coin mechanism for quests at full level, as it encouraged players to accumulate quests until level 60, or even to level up by grinding monsters instead of handing in quests. However, only about 25% of quests in the original version directly awarded Coins, resulting in less Coin revenue than expected when approaching level 60. To this end, Coins will be added to most quests at level 48 and above through hotfixes, including quests that originally did not give Coins. This change has been released with the hotfix on November 10.
Blizzard Recovery: November 8 hotfix increased Dungeon kill EXP from 40% to 60% of Classic Era. Subsequent observations show that this adjustment makes Dungeons upgrade at a rate commensurate with the rest of Forever.
Blizzard has released the server hotfix instructions for November 9 (released at noon on November 10, Beijing time). The following are sorted by original posts, including Wild Charge (Cheetah), Assault, Nature Instinct, Dexterity Stopwatch and Immortal Essence changes. This site has seen corresponding updates in the server hotfix data.

Hunter: The greedy Urgara and the Screaming Cub of Zefeng Island are now in the correct pet category; fixed an issue where selecting distant enemies sometimes attracted hatred.
Mage: Firestorm's ground damage over time no longer consumes a power-saving cast; Arcane Focus's chance to trigger is now split between cast and each missile (previously 10% each).
Paladin: Fixed an issue where a target in Consecration area might no longer deal enhanced damage when it disappeared; cooldown manager now correctly displays Seal of Paladin.
Priest: casting fear enchantment no longer interrupts shadow form; power infusion effects on allies remain normal.
Shaman: Updated the visual effects of Lightning Mastery; Lightning Overload triggered Lightning Arrow damage has been corrected; Improved Ghost Wolf now carries the Night's Watch torch.

Reduced the number of players in the same map in multiple crowded areas, PvP rule servers decreased more, Blizzard will continue to observe and adjust.
Fixed an issue where the flight path from Camp Taurazu to Thunder Bluff would pass through objects.
Blizzard added: earlier in the day, the number of players in the same map was reduced in several crowded areas, and the PvP rules server decreased even more in response to player feedback about overcrowding in many areas, which will continue to be observed and adjusted. This change was also recorded in the November 9 hot fix note.
Blizzard replied to the claim that "demo characters affect camp ratio": After extensive research, there is no evidence that demo characters make any impact. The so-called 55 - 45, statistics are all levels of online active population over time.
Blizzard said that PvP rule servers require two camps to be evenly matched. The current ratio of the largest difference between regions is about 55 to 45, which is still not as expected, so the character creation mechanism has been adjusted: instead of a snapshot of the overall camp status of PvP rule servers in each region, the goal is to be as close as possible to 50 to 50. In the short term, it will be increasingly difficult for the larger party to create new characters, currently tribes in North American PvP rule servers, and alliances in European role playing PvP; as the population moves, the restricted party may switch. Blizzard acknowledges that it can be frustrating not to choose which faction to play at the moment, but believes it is necessary to ensure long-term health, especially in the early stages of the game when guilds and opposing relationships are just forming.

World of Warcraft: Forever is now available worldwide. New players can start their first adventure, and older players can return to the remade Azeroth: level up to 60 on the original continent, experience new stories, and meet other adventurers. It ranks alongside the official and classic suits, and is a long-running home that puts the community first, and the journey itself as important as the destination.
Blizzard's introductory article for new players: Create characters starting at level 1, understand the basic gameplay, and find your place in this long-running world.
In World of Warcraft: Forever, we've been working on the restricted name list, which is the list the game uses to check for non-professional names we want to restrict, such as major Warcraft knowledge characters or names blocked for technical reasons.
Today, we have determined that there was an error in our process that caused the game to be too strict.
For example, it incorrectly restricts names that contain "c-o-n."
As the next domain for each region restarts, we will implement the fix. After that, if you previously received a message saying that the name you thought should be allowed "This name is restricted", please feel free to try again.
Oceania players playing on Australia servers please note:
There is a bug: if you want to create roles on a role-playing or role-playing PvP type server, you must create these roles first and then create roles on a normal or PvP type server.
Once you build a role on a regular or PvP server first, and then build a role later, you can't select a role playing or role playing PvP server.
This issue only affects Oceania players connected to Australia servers. Blizzard is working on an emergency fix.
Whether you are new to Azeroth, returning after a temporary departure, or an old player who has been playing for many years, you can join the World of Warcraft Portal Hall: this is Blizzard's recommended Warcraft player community server, where you can meet friends and find a community that suits you.
The original post is a synopsis of an official article, see Blizzard's original post for details.
The final round of changes to race feats before service launch. These changes, with the exception of Blood Berserk, have been included in the October 30 release (1.60.1.70707) hotfix data, listed in the update for that release.
adjust their thinking
More attention is paid to the characteristics of each race, and some races will have a slight advantage in certain positioning.
Some of the class specialties that had been changed to general bonuses were changed back to their original state. Weapon Specialization specialties were not restored, so as to avoid being tied to weapon types when selecting party dungeons and dungeon equipment in the future.

Recently, a batch of art resources were unpacked from the latest beta client of World of Warcraft: Forever. The official thanks to the discussion and feedback of players, but remind everyone: these resources are not prepared for this version of World of Warcraft.
The beta realm has been updated with a hotfix to fix a druid's inability to pick up artifacts required to learn cheetah form, and thanks to players for submitting bug reports.
Developers have confirmed that in beta version 1.60.1.70425, the client mistakenly triggered "temperature control" and locked the frame number at 60 frames when the temperature was only 32°C. The fix will be added to subsequent beta versions soon.
The beta realm server has been reopened. The official reminder is that players who have not updated to build 70425 should quit the game first and then complete the update through the Battle.net app.

The test lasts for several hours. You are welcome to create characters, do tasks, trade, chat and team up. After the test, you will completely delete the characters, names and other data of this stress test and reopen the beta realm.
The beta realm is scheduled for October 15 at 13:15 PDT for maintenance, deployment and internal testing of new builds containing multiple changes and fixes. Full development instructions will be released after the update and testing are complete.
The beta realm went offline for maintenance at 08:00 PDT on October 14, officials will conduct internal testing, and downtime is expected to last no more than a few hours.
The official launch of a new mechanism to combat real currency transactions. Accounts suspected of selling or receiving illegal coins may be temporarily restricted from trading, mail, guild banks and auction houses to prevent suspicious coins from continuing to circulate and allow time for investigation. Normal accounts will not be affected; restrictions will be automatically lifted after investigation. If violations are confirmed, they will be punished by accounts. Misjudgments may occur during the adjustment of the new system. Temporary restrictions will not leave a permanent penalty record. If validated, the mechanism will be used in other versions of World of Warcraft as well.
Customer Service recommends that you try to reset the user interface when you encounter problems in the beta version. If you still can't solve them, you can use the in-game test feedback function to submit an error report. The customer service team will not directly participate in the beta realm problem handling; players without a valid North American Warcraft license cannot post in the North American beta forum, or you can go to the European beta forum to report feedback.
Known issues added this week: Skyborne Druid's bear form and travel form maps have been updated, cat form, some Wind Island creatures, and some mounts and pets have to wait for subsequent construction; Hunters who click the Violent talent don't see an increase in pet critical hit rate on their character panel, just a display problem; some icons in the pro window appear abnormal.
October 8-The beta realm update opens new dungeons and adjusts dungeon experience and class values.
Conventional and underground cities
New underground city Dalaran City open beta.
Dungeon kill EXP increased by 20%. Fixed an issue where low-level players had low EXP when there were high-level players in the party.
Restores the ability to switch multiple weapons within the same common cooldown; Cooldown Manager supports all class skills, racial skills, and accessories.
All test players received 16 Inheritance Points directly.
Classes, items and players
Warriors and Druids: Fixed a number of miscalculations that generated rage when damage was taken, and increased rage generated when hit.
Thorns and Punishment Aura: Base damage returned to Classic Era, spell power bonus reduced to 6%.
Paladins and priests: liquidation increases the trigger interval by 1.5 seconds; readjusted penance damage, healing, and mana cost.
Multiple classes: Rearrange lower level spell values to ensure that each new level has a boost.
Items and Matchups: Adjusted Wolf Head Helmet effect, reduced a batch of Dungeon Quest rewards from Excellent to Excellent; Critical strikes during player matchups are no longer weakened.
The developers added something that wasn't mentioned in the podcast: The previous experience points for teams to kill were based on the highest level player in the team, and the lower level players got very little. Now it's fixed to be based on their own level, plus the dungeon kill experience increased by 20%. Officials say the adjusted dungeon leveling speed is about the same as efficient quests, and won't return to the obvious faster dungeon grinding as in the Classic Era.
The beta realm is down for maintenance and updates, starting earlier than usual thursday, with a batch of background fixes deployed and internally tested in addition to fixing problems and gameplay adjustments; development notes and known issues posts are updated thereafter.
Petrified weapons are also included in the weapon enhancement list. The duration of Ice, Flame, Petrified and Wrath weapons has been increased from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. They can be used with temporary weapon enchantments such as Grindstone, Balance Stone and Wizard's Oil. The Natural Guidance talent has been removed from the Recovery talent.
The developer explained that this talent limited the damage increase space of Elemental Shamans in dungeons, otherwise it would make them too strong in player battles, so they chose to replace it with new spells and abilities.
Two official corrections in the feature article: Combat and Astute support all weapon types, Combat focuses on direct damage and a small amount of slash with Blade Flurry, and Astute focuses on combat skill and bleeding; the talent renamed from Improved Backstab now also slightly increases the critical hit chance of Mutilate and gives Backstab a chance to gain an additional combo point.
This new chapter in the class series introduces how the changes to the Rogue and Warlock classes continue the original methods and tactics of the two classes.
In a new chapter in the class series, there are new combinations of arcane, fire, and frost for mages, such as frost and fire arrows; shamans 'totems are easier to manage, weapon enhancements last longer, and talent combinations are more flexible.
The development team introduced the subsequent polishing of Skyborne's appearance style, the re-creation of HD Druid form, and the addition of standard definition character models for players to choose from.
Official introduction of the new 15-on-15 battlefield Dark Spear Islands: Both sides compete for strongholds, seize flags, and receive reputation rewards from their respective factions.
The official introduction of the eternal version of the player's battle progress: around honor, rank points, season goals and the original military rank, battlefield, battle missions, weekly missions and equipment upgrades can be rewarded, and finally can get the title of high-level warlord, marshal and so on.
The reboot also fixed two problems: occasional drops in connection while riding in elevators or transportation; and possible errors when joining or leaving guilds.
The beta realm is restarted to apply a number of priority fixes, including one for the disappearance of quest items that should have been restocked in boxes; online players will see a prompt before logging off.
To improve service quality, the beta realm restarts after a few minutes to apply fixes; online players see a countdown prompt that closes a few minutes before reopening.
A number of Warrior changes were added to the new build of the day, and development notes were added: Critical hit bonus increased to 100%(up from 75%); Fixed a mistake in Dual Weapon Specialization that gave hit bonus to both the main hand and the secondary hand, and adjusted the Rage talent accordingly-increased utility and choice in the first part of the Rage Line, no longer required to point Rage to get Flurry in the second part, added several talents, removed several talents; Protection talent repositioned so that warriors who do not use shields can hit mid-tier.
After the new build went live, Australia players received an error message saying "social features are locked" when logging in. There is no such restriction. Fixed on October 4.
Known issues added this week: forward swing effects and sound effects for each cast in a row don't appear until the end of the previous cast; monsters can parry and block from behind when close to monsters; client installs are too large; switching handles resets edit mode layout; some debuffs don't generate hatred; hit bonuses for dual weapon specialization incorrectly affect the main hand; penalty aura uses target's spell power, etc.
Level cap increased to level 30. Added Dungeon Digging Field: Wetlands (levels 26-31), Razor Heights and Aldaman. Improved visibility in rainy days, temporarily removed ray-tracing shadow options. Added Barber Shop to Darnassus and Thunder Bluff. Campfire no longer deals damage to players below level 5. All nine classes have been modified, with Warrior changing the most.(Critical Strike Rage, Fury, and Defense talent reshuffled); Druids removed Tiger Rage and added two Cat Form talents. Dungeon quest bonus EXP reduced by 50%, Honor item price increased by approximately 50%, Honor cap increased to 25000.
In order to facilitate the testing of the Inheritance System, 16 Inheritance Points would be distributed to all testers in a certain week. There was no need to practice multiple classes or repeatedly clear dungeons. After distribution, they would be kept until the end of the test.
The official continues to block accounts that prohibit script swiping gold coins, as well as accounts that buy or knowingly receive illegal gold coins. After the official server is launched, the same will be done. In the game, a reminder will pop up when trading with strangers: unknown gold coins may cause accounts to be blocked.
The beta realm went offline for maintenance the next morning (Pacific Time) and reopened a few hours later with a new build, raising the level cap to level 30.
Officially released Priest and Warrior design analysis, including new and adjusted base skills, Priest racial skills, Warrior rage and stance changes, and six specialized talent changes.
Officials say the plan is to gradually cover all occupations, but sorting out topics will take time and the design may continue to change during testing.
Sniper Shot was incorrectly described in Hunter Analysis article. Corrected: It is a 31st talent in the marksmanship department. Requires a strong attack aura first. Cast for 4 seconds. Cooldown for 15 seconds. Damage is higher than aimed shot. Base range is 45 yards. Increases range of the next 3 shots by 10 yards.
The community manager responded to player comments about punctuation, saying he had been using dashes for years and thanked players for their interest in the topic.
The official reiterated that cash transactions are prohibited: In addition to banning sellers, more buyers 'accounts will be processed in the future, including taking back illegal gold coins. Serious accounts will be closed. Please be cautious when accepting gifts from strangers and unilateral transactions.
The beta realm characters were reviewed individually by the development team and forced to change their names if they violated naming rules; players whose names violated the code of conduct severely were disqualified from testing.
New known issues are mainly focused on Cooldown Manager: Cooldowns for some curses, healing stones, arcane strikes, pet skills, and weapon enchantments are untraceable. In addition, partying or changing parties may transfer players to another world instance; Stormwind minimap displays anomalies. Two quest issues (Escorts running too fast, EXP too much for a quest) will be fixed in the next build.
Fixed issues such as not playing forward shake when casting spells, unable to cast spells during Camp Fire buff, etc. Fixed a memory leak that caused performance to gradually decrease. Reset talent for only 1 silver during beta. Druid multiple healing skills can critical hit, rage base damage increased by about 50%, Mangle renamed Primal Bite; Paladin Holy Strike damage increased by all levels, cooldown reduced to 10 seconds; Mage Fire talent buff duration increased; Shaman Lightning Arrow high level damage increased.
The beta realm goes offline for maintenance and deployment of new builds, which is expected to take at least a few hours, with full development notes and known issues released later.
Inheritance System: A growth system for account sharing. Complete challenges to obtain inheritance points, which are used to unlock character abilities and appearance rewards.
Hunter Auto Shot and Wand Shot were supposed to have 0.5 seconds cast time before they were fired, but now due to a glitch that is significantly shorter, players take less time to stand and shoot than designed; build fix expected next week.
Beta client updated to 1.60.1.69977 to fix Mac display and stability issues, as well as issues with the controller when selecting corners and picking quests items. Next full week update on September 24.
Some players can no longer enter the character after disconnection, prompt character name already exists. Please attach the character name and the exact time of the last normal game and disconnection when reporting, so as to facilitate checking logs.
An event on a Skyborne quest on Windy Island will get stuck halfway through, causing it to be unable to continue; the fix from the previous few days did not take effect, but this time it has been fixed and the player can complete the quest.
Instead of picking from a list of servers, players choose a rule: normal, PvP, role-playing, or hardcore, each of which is a large overall community; hardcore is only available after launch.
The official explanation is that the test forum is open to all subscribers; and share personal experience: when the game cannot be updated, you can delete the data folder in the game directory and let Battle. net repair again.
Remind players: After the official launch, some of the old graphics card architecture far below the minimum configuration will no longer be supported. See the official graphics card requirements for details.
You can't select an account when there are multiple authorizations under the same Battle. net account. It is recommended to create a test account on the account management page to see if you can select it when logging in.
Added known issues: Cooldown manager not yet complete; armor bonuses for consumables and buffs are amplified by bear form; spell queue window is closed when queuing for next attack ability; missiles with full damage are fired when channeling arcane missiles; duration of low level resurrection weakness is incorrect.
Known issues at launch: Barber Chair error, the beta realm friends feature turned off, minimaps may be out of screen, some supply box items could not be submitted, and several quest issues, most of which will be fixed in the next build.
The test runs from September 17 to October 21; you can sign up or purchase a designated gift package to qualify. The official launch time is November 4 (3 p.m. Pacific Time).

(community Manager): Blizzard explained: Forever intentionally removed the EXP to Coin mechanism for quests at full level, as it encouraged players to accumulate quests until level 60, or even to level up by grinding monsters instead of handing in quests. However, only about 25% of quests in the original version directly awarded Coins, resulting in less Coin revenue than expected when approaching level 60. To this end, Coins will be added to most quests at level 48 and above through hotfixes, including quests that originally did not give Coins. This change has been released with the hotfix on November 10. Original post
(community Manager): Blizzard Recovery: November 8 hotfix increased Dungeon kill EXP from 40% to 60% of Classic Era. Subsequent observations show that this adjustment makes Dungeons upgrade at a rate commensurate with the rest of Forever. Original post
(community Manager): Blizzard has released the server hotfix instructions for November 9 (released at noon on November 10, Beijing time). The following are sorted by original posts, including Wild Charge (Cheetah), Assault, Nature Instinct, Dexterity Stopwatch and Immortal Essence changes. This site has seen corresponding updates in the server hotfix data. Original post
(community Manager): Blizzard added: earlier in the day, the number of players in the same map was reduced in several crowded areas, and the PvP rules server decreased even more in response to player feedback about overcrowding in many areas, which will continue to be observed and adjusted. This change was also recorded in the November 9 hot fix note. Original post
(community Manager): Blizzard replied to the claim that "demo characters affect camp ratio": After extensive research, there is no evidence that demo characters make any impact. The so-called 55 - 45, statistics are all levels of online active population over time. Original post
(community Manager): Blizzard said that PvP rule servers require two camps to be evenly matched. The current ratio of the largest difference between regions is about 55 to 45, which is still not as expected, so the character creation mechanism has been adjusted: instead of a snapshot of the overall camp status of PvP rule servers in each region, the goal is to be as close as possible to 50 to 50. In the short term, it will be increasingly difficult for the larger party to create new characters, currently tribes in North American PvP rule servers, and alliances in European role playing PvP; as the population moves, the restricted party may switch. Blizzard acknowledges that it can be frustrating not to choose which faction to play at the moment, but believes it is necessary to ensure long-term health, especially in the early stages of the game when guilds and opposing relationships are just forming.

(community Manager): In World of Warcraft: Forever, we've been working on the restricted name list, which is the list the game uses to check for non-professional names we want to restrict, such as major Warcraft knowledge characters or names blocked for technical reasons.
Today, we have determined that there was an error in our process that caused the game to be too strict.
For example, it incorrectly restricts names that contain "c-o-n."
As the next domain for each region restarts, we will implement the fix. After that, if you previously received a message saying that the name you thought should be allowed "This name is restricted", please feel free to try again.
Thank you, sir. Original post

(community Manager): Oceania players playing on Australia servers please note:
There is a bug: if you want to create roles on a role-playing or role-playing PvP type server, you must create these roles first and then create roles on a normal or PvP type server.
Once you build a role on a regular or PvP server first, and then build a role later, you can't select a role playing or role playing PvP server.
This issue only affects Oceania players connected to Australia servers. Blizzard is working on an emergency fix. Original post

(Blizzard employees): Hello, everyone.
In a recent World of Warcraft: Forever podcast, we talked about some of the concerns about adding the RPG PvP rules to World of Warcraft: Forever, but also mentioned that we are still discussing this internally and are monitoring player feedback. Over the past few days, we have carefully evaluated the work required to add it to World of Warcraft: Forever and
Decided to implement. We will be adding the role play PvP rules when we open the service on November 4th.
Next week, role name reservations will be open on Tuesday, October 27th and we are working hard to make sure that you can choose the role play PvP rules and reserve the role names.
Thank you very much for your feedback and comments.
Thank you, sir. Original post

From the developers
