Hi all again,
Last year I did similar tutorial about

. When I saw a lot of
stupid topics about Play9D (check

) with questions "how I can patch the game" and something like that, I thought - newbies will need that tutorial.
There will be all steps about install and patching the game properly.

About Play9D
First, why do we like that server?
- great exp
- free items
- few items have low prices, like BBoE
- cheap IM
- and few more
I'm almost sure that you think - it's too beautiful, but where's the trick? There aren't, but this server isn't as perfect as you see now.
Play9D has many disadvantages:
- A LOT OF BUGS - party bug (!)
- low drop rate (bugged?)
- prices of LF - sometimes it's similar price to BBoE
- manual patching

But it's still great server.
Okay, are you sure that you want to play here? Then check our next step!

Installing Play9D
Are you ready to
rock?! to play? Okay, then. Enter the site

and click DOWNLOAD button. You will get few options - I used direct download. If you want, there's the link:

Install it somewhere. I think you can do it by yourself. I preferr to use second partition and install it in X:\Play9D or X:\games\Play9D. But it's only my decision. X can be different letter like D, E, F ... Z. It depends on your computer. Of course you can install that in traditional C:\Program Files\Play9D or something like that. It's your way.
Honestly, I don't remember now, but try to run your client. If I remember it, your launcher won't patch by itself. But if it happens, it doesn't matter. You need to patch your game manually.

Patching Play9D
Manual patches by Play9D
It's the worst thing here, but you need to do it only once. To do it, you need about 6 GB free on your computer.
You need to patch your game first time. Enter here -

. You have guide how to patch. There is the first patch -

. Extract it to your folder with Play9D. Replace all the files ("Yes to All").
Copy your folder with Play9D and rename it. I'm using "Play9D - Old" here.
Now enter your Play9D folder - don't touch "OLD" version! You need to download and extract two patches:

and

. Direct links to the patches:

&

.
Hermit patch by WitekYou can still drop items from Hermit event. If you need (and want) to trade weapons from that event, you can patch the game next time. You need to copy the folder with game. Rename it - I used "Play9D - Hermit". Enter that folder and extract everything from Witek's patch - download

. You need program called 7Zip to unzip that.
Now we have 3 copies of Play9D:
Play9D
Play9D - Old
Play9D - Hermit
Witek gives us next great thing - .XSD file with real names of items. Download it

and extract to all versions - to folder Data/Script.

Which client am I need to run?
I'm hearing your question - why do I need all of these clients? Okay, I'll tell you.
You need "Old" version to get the GC1 gifts and receive a Rice Hat.
You need "Hermit" version to receive a PS weapon for 20 event items.
You need normal version to grind.

Trick - move untradeable items to storage
Video:
Made by
To do that, you need few items (stackable) like medicines, or drops. Use SORT button, and replace stackable items with untradeable item. Come to Storage, select (one click) stackable item and click store. Change the value to 1, and click sort. When weapon get back to its place, click OK.

If there is information about Invalid Version, or if you are pressing "PvP Cluster"
and you went to PvE one, you should delete your ndreg or
download this one;
This is mine ndreg, if you are afraid of virus you don't need to download it

Anti-scam guide requested by Play9D - by adek1994
I heard a lot about scamming in Play9D. Few people says they are selling PP codes, refining weapons, making slots, and a lot more. There are only my hints - I'm waiting for more:
- If you trade, make a stand. If you use "trade" you can be scammed by trade bug.
- It's better when you buy Jade Separators from stand than $5 PP code. Why? Because JS can be bought by stand, PP codes - no.
- I don't like selling accounts. If you really need to buy that - make sure that you will get e-mail address as well.
- And make sure that people are trusted. Really.
- Game Masters and staff won't ask about your account info. Don't tell anybody password!
Please for further advices, I'll add them to the list.
