    Hello community,


    We have been assessing and measuring the amount of gold that is currently being generated on the server through the content of Jotunheim and black zone.


    Currently in the jotun an equipped player (without being a top player) could generate 400.000.000 gold + 1.200 battle medals. Adding both options you generate more than a BILLION in a content of 45m. This means that a more equipped player can generate much more gold.


    We don't see the battle medal as a serious problem, since it is a market item and does NOT generate INFLATION on the server, while liquid gold does.


    With these changes to liquid gold we want to encourage the player who is more equipped or who has been on the server longer to be rewarded for his time invested through his damage and kills he can get to do in this content.


    At the same time we do not want to forget the most novice players and we also want them to get a minimum gold when doing the jotun event.


    All these changes will be closely watched to make more changes in the future if they need to be further regulated, either up or down.



    Regarding the black zone, we are quite happy with how it has been going and how we are improving the content in different ways.


    Now there will be a change in the gold generated. Like jotun, it is a content that is currently generating a LOT of inflation on the server and this in the long run can cause a big difference in gold between players and load the server in a very negative way (Nobody wants this to happen).


    It has been calculated that in the deep area of the map in 60 minutes CLEAN without anyone coming to hunt you, you can generate 2,800,000,000 in gold (this in a single area of the 2 maps). If you add up the hours that you can farm and that there are 2 maps, the server can generate more than 220b a day (compared to the raid hells in 1 week that generate 240b~).


    That being said, adjustments have been made to the gold that is generated by merging it with battle medals to further balance out the earnings and regularize the gold generated. As with the other content, it will be closely monitored with these changes and can be raised or lowered further.


    We want to make people understand that the current difference that PvP and PvE generates is quite big and we want both contents to be more balanced.


    We are always trying to think of new content and how to make the server more enjoyable, but we don't want to forget about the existing content without unbalancing all of the above, we are always looking for the server to be healthy.


    We ask for patience to the community and that we do all this for the good of all players, always trying our best in everything we do, thanks for your time.
