📢 Original Announcement (September 3)
Ahead of the new Sanctuary 'Snowfield of Lamentation' update scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, an additional temporary maintenance is scheduled for Friday, September 4 at 04:30 KST to carry out Class Care more stably.
By applying the class balance adjustments in advance through this maintenance, we aim to reduce the confusion that could arise if the new Sanctuary update and the class balance adjustments went live at the same time on September 9, and to provide a more stable game environment.
We ask for your understanding regarding the inconvenience caused by these back-to-back temporary maintenances.
The detailed maintenance schedule and full Class Care details will be added to this notice later.
Thank you.
