I get your concerns, I get your criticism. It's in our hands to prove wrong and make things work better and to just improve. Right now our main goal is to not disappoint and we'll do our best to have everything user oriented. Please check below our last Dev-Previews. Dear Community, lately our progress plan before the new server release has been changed and it will be made upon your suggestions and criticism that has been brought to Rubinum. Therefore, there's a sneak peek of what will be here already before the server start. Multi-farm Block One of most requested feature, client limitation, will be available within the next day/s. Basically as an user if you have more than two clients opened, the rest will have drops disabled. Christmas Event Last preparations to be done, it will arrive as well within the next day/s, meaning that when the next server will be released, on Legacy of Meley there will be already a Christmas Event on-going. As last words, we thank you for your support. Each day until the next server start we will inform you about what's going on and to keep you updated. Frequently asked: Q: Can I run 2 clients on Server 1 and 2 clients on S2? A: Yes, you can run simultaneously 2 clients on each server without any problem Q: If I have more than 2 clients opened, what will happen? A: Opening more than 2 clients will restrict drops on the other ones [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] [Only registered and activated users can see links.

Damage and Fastest Time rankings were reseted Changes: Replaced the Red Zodiac Case in game with the original cases Fixes: Added correct descriptions for Dyes Multi-farm Block This feature will limit users to have drops enabled in-game only for two clients. If you have more than two clients opened there will be a restriction for the latter ones in terms of drops. For now we keep max. 2 clients for both servers (you can run simultaneously 2 on S1 and 2 on S2, 4 in total) because we think that it is the best solution since we're aiming for a fusion. We have the possibility to set different limitations for servers if there are heavy requests, we just want to approach it slow and carefully before anything else. We will follow each of your suggestion and we will find together the best solutions. On top of this, before the server start we will inform you with some background information in regard of fusion so that everyone of you will have more insights about it. Item Shop First of all, Item Shop was changed and we made it more user oriented. We removed some items such as Dragon Alchemy, Sashes and Talismans in order to provide you a more fair server start and good gameplay. As a second big change, we reduced the price of both temporary and permanent Pets, Mounts and Rings The third change will be that the market will not be flooded and influenced by coins for streamers, team members or any giveaways that we'll do. We will create character bounded versions of Items and Packages that will be distributed to the parties mentioned above.  Changes of Item Shop: Category Quest has been renamed into "Etc." Changed price of Ring of Joy(Perm.) from 5.000 DR to 3850 DR Changed price of Crescent Moon Ring(Perm.) from 5.000 DR to 3850 DR Changed price of Battle Goat Seal(Perm.) from 2.500 DR to 2.000 DR Changed price of Emperor Goat Seal(Perm.) from 2.500 DR to 2.000 DR Changed price of Battle Boar Seal(Perm.) from 2.500 DR to 2.000 DR Changed price of Emperor Boar Seal(Perm.) from 2.500 DR to 2.000 DR Changed price of Temporary Element Rings from 400/750 DR to 300/550 DR Changed price of Temporary Crescent Moon Ring from 400/750 DR to 300/550 DR Changed price of Temporary Ring of Joy from 400/750 DR to 300/550 DR  Removed the following categories: Talismans Sashes Events Sash Skins Mount SkinsPet Skins Costumes Hairstyles Weapon Skins  Removed the following items: All Talismans All Cor Draconis (Legendary) Diamas, Rubinum, Granatum, Saphirum, Jadeit, Atrum Lord Sash (basic) Erebos Biologist Package (Will be removed only at S2!) Razador Biologist Package (Will be removed only at S2!) Nemere Biologist Package (Will be removed only at S2!) Christmas Event It will not be added within this maintenance, there are some refinements that we still need to to and we're good to go.

You need at least 3/4 of a year (imo) to get the player ready for the fusion itself. But than you have to take the economy of both servers into consideration - Server 1 is flooded with Mithril, Cors, Alchemy, Passage Tickets, Stones, Yang, Equipment (PvM because of the Multiclientblock) and the new Content from Server 1 which most people will reach not even in 2 Months of Playtime. In my understanding of Metin2 you thought i way to easy and way to fast that you can say both server will be ready after xx months/ years to be piled together.

I mean i played Server 2 aswell and it was a great project too, but Server 1 was almost dead. And Now you start a second Server only half a year later? There were several different ways to create a Hype around Rubinum, but in my opinion starting a second server isn't. Kind regards

Originally Posted by -Aries The only reason for a fusion to not be possible would have been if the servers weren't identical. I am planning to reveal a general concept about the Rubinums' Development Roadmap in some days, which is including information about Fusion, nearly future development and long-term development processes (weeks). But to answer your points, the fusion will be made under certain conditions and agreements in which we would like to involve the community. The main and most important thing that we aim as a result after fusion is a healthy economy. I am aware that it's a delicate thing and it requires most of the attention and responsibility, this is why I would not commit fully to tell you ALREADY (because it's too early) what exactly we can take and how it will occur. If you talk about S1 of Rubinum from years ago the main problem was that it was different concept than the S2, Lycan was there as well and the concept of S2 was way different, this made the fusion not possible. Also, I know that a big percentage of the replies were just designed to put me, my decision or anything related to Rubinum in a bad spotlight but I am confident that this decision was the best. Rubinum ran on a small/mid player base, no matter how much you think about it there were no realistical options to bring back players and to let them get to play again the server without starting a new one because the gap between the player base and new players was too high. Now, starting from this main reason, no matter how many updates we would have brought, no one would have started to play again and sooner or later even the current player base would get bored. I know that the decision is rough and still many of you think that it's just another manoeuvre for Rubinum to get its' most benefits out of users and in the end it'll still be a fail. That's not right. The current Rubinum Server (S1, Legacy of Meley) was planned to run on a different concept, but each user expected it to be Rubinum S2 Concept, that's one of the main reasons that users left and more users left when we tried to change/orient the game to a S2 Concept. Not because S2 Concept was bad, but because there were too many differences between them and all have led to a big massacre of the economy. On top of this, I choosed to build a team from scratch, which was quite hard and time consuming. Additionaly, there was no connection between us and a Community at that time. All these things have led to us working and building something great in the past months. But as I said, in the end people who left, knew Rubinum how it was (May/June) not how it is today. Anyways, I have to let you know and everyone that the decision of opening the Chinese Zodiac Temple was taken upon the fact that we have now a gameplay that was always desired (S2 - 2018), a team that can help me manage and is always here to give me a hand, an already based community, lots of lessons learned throughout the past months, ways we can handle the server openings and so on. I hope that I answered most of your concerns. A fusion will be there, adjustements to make S2 slightly easier in terms of progress would occur as well and I am confident that everything will be a success. :)

A last question: Did you already plan a pvp balancing? When will the balancing occur on server 1?
