  • Diamonds

    Quote from playboy

    this server is/was never about F2P ppl

    Playing COA doesn't require purchases.


    There are many ways to obtain IS items by playing:

    1. Diamonds for items in Auction House

    2. Diamonds for gold in Auction House

    3. Diamonds for Ancient Mementos / Arcadia Coins

    4. Gifts from NPCs

    5. Itemshop items from mini-games

    6. Occasional in game events

    7. Forum contests

    8. Regular in game activities

    9. Phirius shop


    Our diamond prices with sales, and item prices are way better than somewhere else.

    Combining both, you end up with 20x difference for some of the cases, which was already reviewed.


    Regarding EQ prices - it's out of our control or influence, these are driven by supply and demand rule.

    Majority of players, including most end game one, never made any purchase.
    They're simply playing the game actively, and cooperating with others to achieve their targets.


    Keep in mind, that we didn't increase diamond prices for PNC/EUR since 2014, with EU cumulative inflation over 15%.

    Increasing promos' ratio would make more diamonds being added to the server, causing inflation, and rising prices of items.


    Diamond prices, promotion time frames and diamond rates are not influenced by feedback.

  • Ping issue

    Usual support response is from few minutes to 24 hours.

    Due to the nature of the issue, it's not possible to discuss it publicly on the forum, so support is best place.

  • I can't log in as the main character

    I checked your main character, and was able to log in and stay online without issues.

    I moved it to the house, maybe it will be more stable for you.

    What you are experiencing is most likely internet services provider related, as there are no such issues for other players.

    You may yet try to use a VPN, this shouldn't cause large ping difference.

  • House zone issue

    The house zone was running under debug mode as per announcement:

    Thread
    [COMPLETED] House zone maintenance
    We need to temporarily close the house zone as we found it being unstable.
    As soon as there will be any updates, we will notify you it in this thread.
    int

    It appears that issue triggered again, and we fixed it.

  • Problem beim Patchen

    The issue was caused by not enough space left on the hard drive, and been solved.

    We will add a checker into the launcher, so user know what's wrong in future.

  • Problem beim Patchen

    Yes, that's a Windows notification for not signed patch file, not a threat.

    We can't currently sign patch files, otherwise it breaks the checksum.

    This will be improved in the future.


    You need to confirm starting of the patch.

    Please let me know if it's working.

  • Server status

    Quote from playboy

    The server was offline for one-hour due to time change.

    Please follow announcements on our forum to be up-to-date.

    All planned maintenances are announced here: Maintenances


    The maintenance info and server status are also visible in the launcher.

  • Ancient Memento Exchange

    Quote from Zyrex
    Quote from Planned Patchnotes
    Locked Ancient Memento to Diamonds exchanges to a character for 30 days, removed daily exchange limit.

    Just to understand it right, does it mean, I can farm infinite amounts of mems and change them into dias every day but can only farm with the very same character for the next 30 days due to a lock?

    In any case, please increase the max memento amount from 25k to 100k or something.

    Yes, as for now, there's no limit of diamonds you can receive for Ancient Mementos.

    The only limit is that one person can only use one character to do so during 30 days period.

  • The current f2p vs p2w state versus the future state of the game

    Your assumptions are wrong, and the reasons were different.

    95% of newcomers don't buy PNC, therefore any kind of such limits wouldn't bring more purchases.


    Wheel of Fortune, and Mementos to Diamonds exchange are still available, we didn't remove it.

    Even the limits wasn't changed, you just can exchange once per day per a person.

    The core issue we wanted to prevent was abusing WOF by 40 chars, or MemToDia with main + 11 chars looting.

    We do have further plans about that, with a prevention target, but without harming regular players.

    If things like this are under control, we can offer more benefits to these players, like give more diamonds.


    Regarding XP, many newcomers were leveling too fast, especially with 10x and NPC boost.

    One of the reasons why they were leaving the game was a debt and annoyance created, by dying on high level zones, due to lack of understanding the classes skills and game mechanics.

    That's also why Johny Dalker is now in Varanas, still available but with a bit more effort, and at least after some gameplay.

    5 x XP ratio is still decent, 5x more than base one, and good enough to easily level 2-3 classes, which still can be boosted with multiple potions, we may also run XP/TP events when it's lowered.
