UPDATEOdd Candy Bonus: Updated Measures
By STAFF_Ines
Nov 16th, 2017
Greetings, Saviors.
We would like to announce and clarify a few more details about the Odd Candy bonus that was put on hold earlier (announcement here).
As you may know, we distributed a bonus of 2,000 Odd Candies to every player during the scheduled maintenance of November 14 as compensation for Halloween event-related issues.
These Candies can be used as currency to purchase rewards in the ongoing Halloween events, and we received several reports by players concerned about inactive accounts being able to unfairly obtain and trade these event rewards by receiving the Candy bonus.
Following this, we proceeded to put a hold on all lodge messages containing the Odd Candy bonus, in order to apply the changes necessary to minimize its unfair use.
We have now placed appropriate restrictions on accounts found to have obtained and/or traded large amounts of the affected Halloween event items. The same measures will also be taken against any such accounts that may be discovered in the future.
Most importantly, as of this date, only players who have participated at least one time in the Halloween event dungeon until today's temporary maintenance (from October 24 to November 16, 2017) will be eligible to receive the Odd Candy bonus.
All other accounts, namely the aforementioned inactive accounts, or simply accounts that did not participate in the event until November 16, will NOT receive the message containing the 2,000 Odd Candies.
Following these changes, we retrieved the excess Odd Candies and/or items obtained by using them from accounts - which doesn't follow new standard stated above - where the message containing the bonus had already been opened.
According to the new standard, we will re-distribute the Candies tomorrow - 17th November. We will be back with another announcement after redistributing the blessed shards.
Once again we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this process. We also thank all the players who took the time to report instances of unfair item use and voice their concerns on the event’s issues.
Thank you.
