MAJOR NEWS! GC SERVICE STARTS THIS WEEK!!

Hey Dragons!

I have some really EXCITING news! GamesCampus is ahead of schedule for the new server and we are looking to open up the server later this week! We are hoping to open it up as early as Thursday! Unfortunately,transferred characters will not be ready until next week.

Check back often for more information!

Client should be coming out either Thursday or Friday.

In this new server, everyone will need to start from level 1, no buts ands or ifs. The name will be decided soon, we may make an event out of this. At the moment it will be a PvE server but Indy21 and GC hope to incorporate voluntary PvP into this server in the future.

Voluntary PvP as in if you want to PvE only, you can. But if you want to PvP, you can with others that want to PvP. We are still discussing on how this can work. This may take longer than expected as most of our previously brainstormed ideas didn't or wouldn't work.

Update: 14th Sept
Do you mean it's mandatory that we log in on Games Campus to confirm our transfer on Sept 16th, and on that day only?

We are currently trying to build out a schedule for those who confirm after the 19th. For example, those who confirm anywhere from 20th - 26th will have their characters put in on the 27th. The mechanics for this are currently under discussion.

On September 16th, we plan on releasing a new 9Dragons site. In addition, the current main site will be used to verify information only. Here players will have one more chance to reconfirm all their information.

At this point, it will request for your GamesCampus ID & PW and GamersFirst ID & PW to ensure the character and account information belong to you. Once you enter both IDs & PWs, everything is final for the transfer and both accounts are not eligible for anymore transfers after.

This is new information provided by both Indy21 and our engineering team:

Unfortunately for players to save all their character information instead of losing characters during this transfer/merge, all players who have characters on both Phoenix and Nirvana must provide 2 separate GamesCampus accounts. This applies to all player, even those with only 1 character on Nirvana and 1 on Phoenix.

This confirmation step can only be done after we receive the data base from GamersFirst, which we are projecting to be on the 16th. The most important step is to OPT IN at the GamersFirst site, once doing so, that guarantees that your information will be sent to us. This final step on our side is to merely confirm information and sort out where the characters go.[/color]

KC, will our items (plates, gold, xp cards, etc) still be in our storage/char? Or totally gone?

Will my items be moved over? (Both IM and drops/equipment)

All items will be transferred from GamersFirst. All timed items will receive a bonus 5 days for the downtime between 9/15 & 9/20. Small disclaimer, although all items are being transferred does not mean they will remain after our planned removal of duplicated and hacked items.

Log in on 16 to GC?

yes, think so, if they bring up the server on thursday.. like they sayd.

wow, for the first time I see that publisher does something earlier thank expected.
Hmm, call me a stupid head, but I think, this might be a good sign. Hope Indy21 will co-operate with GC and will make 9d as good as KR version

I see thanks. I'm more excited about the GoD reform then whatever they plan to add

Keep our fingers crossed then.... hopefully we get a new good-efficient-trustworthy publisher for 9Dragon...KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL all HACKERS !! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!
GoD ---------------> I LOVE U !!

I will make beggar nuker there i think or a bot warrior. Will give me something to do while transfer takes place ^^

Here are questions and answers from the lead GM (i think)

1. Will there be an EU server like Bardo was back in Acclaim (an English version)?
No, there will not be an EU only server. But we always keep in mind the users in EU when planning events and etc. In fact, we are considering a Romanian version of our site.
2. If someone has to change their name because of the server merge...how will that work?
The player with a lower amount of experience points will be prompted to change their name when they log in.
3. How will IM prices be set?
They will be set by both our team and Indy21. At the moment there have been a few changes to the list itself, such as repricing, changing quantities and durations, and removal of certain items. These changes will not affect already purchased items. For example, if you purchased a 7 Day item at GamersFirst, it will not change in duration.
4. Will we still have our current UI, or will it be changed to the Korean UI?
Same UI, but we will consider changing based on the feedback of the community. Anything another region has should be quite easy to implement in the US version.
5. What will the new level cap be, Immortal 6 or Immortal 12?
Immortal 12.
6. Will you be changing the Cry Heaven Saber/sword models to what they should be or keep them at what they are now?
I will come back with an answer for this. Please leave this question on top.
7. Instead of GameGuard, why don't you use the same anti-hack as the GC EU version?
GamesCampus US currently has a contract with GameGuard for all our games, whereas EU does not.
8. What exactly do you mean by “Class Balance?”
We are still doing a lot of testing on this and will release more information in the coming days. Please leave this on top of the Q&A.
9. What about Rising Dragon Deco's. Will they stay or go?
From what Indy21 told me, legit will stay and duped will go.
10. What about Leagues and Bands caught in the merge. How will that work?
Please keep this one on top as well.
11. How will you deal with the spammers in Hefei (the central marketplace)?
We are discussion multiple ways to control the spam by manipulating the chat filters and etc. But one sure fire way is that the presence of the GC staff will be a lot higher in-game to keep an eye out on spammers.
12. What will happen if I don't log-in/confirm on the 16th?
You will not be able to transfer your characters from GamersFirst. At that point you will have to create a new character to play.
13. Can we opt-in after the 15th?
No, the opt-in ends on the 15th. To ensure your characters are transferred, please opt-in by the 15th.
14. What type of hardware will the servers be on?
I cannot release too much information on this, but we dropped a pretty penny for the server set.
15. What will server capacity be (how many players)?
1 server can hold up to 4,000 players on at once.
16. What will be done about boss hogs (especially the quest bosses)?
Please keep this questions at the top also.

Thank you iMetal for collecting all the questions while I've been working behind the scenes! MORE COOKIES FOR YOU

NEW GAMESCAMPUS CLIENT: This Thursday or Friday (This client will be able to connect to all 9Dragons servers)

THIS THURSDAY OR FRIDAY: NEW SERVER WILL BE LIVE!

SEPTEMBER 20TH: MERGED SERVER (NIRVANA & PHOENIX) & YIN WILL BE LIVE!

So regardless of what happens, the transfer characters will not be live until September 20th. The 5 days of down time is to transfer character information across multiple databases, in addition the work cannot begin until the 16th.

As for the NEW SERVER, it was originally planned for September 20th as well, But because of the quick work by Indy21 and our team, we are able to bring it everyone early. The work done on the new server has no nothing to do with when the transfer server goes live.

On September 16th, we plan on releasing a new 9Dragons site. In addition, the current main site will be used to verify information only. Here players will have one more chance to reconfirm all their information.

At this point, it will request for your GamesCampus ID & PW and GamersFirst ID & PW to ensure the character and account information belong to you. Once you enter both IDs & PWs, everything is final for the transfer and both accounts are not eligible for anymore transfers after.

This applies to all player, even those with only 1 character on Nirvana and 1 on Phoenix.

You'll be able to confirm after September 16th, but be sure to do so by the 19th in order to begin playing on the 20th.

We are currently trying to build out a schedule for those who confirm after the 19th. For example, those who confirm anywhere from 20th - 26th will have their characters put in on the 27th. The mechanics for this are currently under discussion.
