★ Trading Bulletin Board Update on 18/1/2023

Preview of the new Trading Bulletin Board, releasing 18th January 2023.

1. Misusing the market (controlling the market)

Having control of the market has its consequences.

We are aware that there are users who purchase large amounts of certain items and stockpile them, so that they can sell them to other users for a higher price and make huge profits. Users that take part in events later than others, or who are new to the game and require certain ‘older’ items, are being swindled, plain and simple.

In order to prevent users from misusing the market, we will be making older, unavailable items, mounts, pets, and rare avatar sets available again via the new trading bulletin board.

* We will disclose the specific items that will be made available at a later date. Please bear with us for not disclosing any further details about this yet.

2. Repeatedly buying large amounts of items depending on the market rate

The Sales Service Licence was introduced to make trading easier for users. Unfortunately, this item has come to be misused, with some users taking advantage of when an item is cheaper on the market, buying huge amounts of them, and then selling them at a higher price once the market has increased the price again. This is a problem and cannot be allowed to continue.

As of 18th January 2023, we are introducing a new item, the ‘Premium Trade Coupon’, which will apply a 3% selling fee to your sales. The same fee will apply regardless of whether the trade takes place in the Trading House or during a private ED trade.

(There is no premium effect during private trading.)

We will reduce the selling fee in the Trading House from 10% to 5% so as not to ruin things for normal users. We will also be increasing the number of goods that can be registered and the maximum adjustable price per item. In order to make the Trading House as transparent as possible, we will be adding the ability to see the market rate easily.

* We will do our best to adjust the Trading Bulletin Board in such a way that it makes using it as easy as possible for every user. We’re also going to be keeping a close eye on the new system to make sure no one misuses it.

3. Misc: Info on the Sales Service Licence

The Sales Service Licence will be removed from the game on 18/1/2023. Info on refunds will be released shortly.

* You will still be able to use Sales Service Licences until the maintenance period on the 18th January 2023, and their effect will continue until such time as is described in the item.

* Every Sales Service Licence that has yet to be used will be deleted from every character inventory and bank, and the money will be refunded. This will take place during maintenance on the 18th January 2023.

* You will not receive a refund for Sales Service Licences received via events.

* Every Sales Service Licence found under (Item Shop) -> (Bought Items) (Item Shop Inventory), (i.e. every unused SSL), will also be deleted during maintenance on 18th January 2023, and the money will be refunded.

* Refunds for the Sales Service Licence will take place on 18th January 2023 at the specified time for your country. 

We will do our best to refund you as quickly as possible. 

* After the maintenance period you will be able to check your refund via (Item Shop) -> (Bought Items) -> (Item Shop Inventory).
