Adventurers,
Our latest development phase focused on one of the most important parts of the server’s future: making the game feel smoother, safer, and more reliable across core gameplay systems.
This update includes major improvements to character flow, trading, shops, mail, events, raid content, movement, AI behavior, and overall server stability. Many of these changes happen behind the scenes, but they directly affect how clean and stable the game feels during everyday play.
Classic Gameplay Support
A large amount of work has gone into improving support for the current Classic gameplay experience.
- Improved the login and connection flow.
- Improved character selection behavior.
- Improved character creation and return-to-lobby handling.
- Fixed several issues affecting inventory display.
- Improved targeting behavior.
- Improved NPC information display.
- Improved equipment window refresh behavior.
- Fixed experience bar display issues.
- Improved buy, sell, and exchange window behavior.
- Fixed casting bar display issues.

These changes help make the client experience feel more complete, responsive, and consistent.
Mailbox and Marketplace Foundations
New player-service systems have started taking shape.
- Added full mailbox support.
- Prepared the foundation for future marketplace features.
- Added early support for a Commission Manager-style service.
The mailbox system gives us an important base for future player convenience features, while the marketplace foundation prepares the server for stronger trading and economy tools later on.
Trading, Shops, and Economy Safety
Several important fixes were made to improve economy safety and reduce the risk of item or inventory issues.
- Fixed crafting shop price handling.
- Fixed item count issues in crafting-related systems.
- Fixed inventory duplication issues during manufacture shop crafting.
- Improved inventory update behavior after shop and trade actions.
- Reduced the chance of outdated or incorrect inventory states during trading.
- Improved item handling in player shop flows.
These are important economy-protection changes. They help keep trading, crafting, and shop systems safer and more reliable for everyone.
Events and Custom Content
Custom event and raid content received a major expansion pass.
- Improved automatic event scheduling.
- Fixed startup behavior for scheduled events.
- Added configurable L2Day event support.
- Improved despawn behavior for custom raid bosses in peace zones.
- Adjusted custom NPC levels.
- Improved rebirth and subclass buffer behavior.
- Added Zaken-related AI support.
- Added the foundation for a new large-scale Fafurion event.
- Added Fafurion-related content definitions.
- Added Fafurion guard NPC support.
- Improved Fafurion event wave behavior.
- Improved Fafurion boss warning and telegraph behavior.
- Improved faction event team behavior.
- Strengthened the global event scheduler.
This phase lays the groundwork for larger and more polished server events, with better flow, clearer boss behavior, and more reliable scheduling.
AI, Movement, and Geodata Improvements
Movement and AI behavior received deeper stability work.
- Fixed a movement freeze issue that could happen after entering the world.
- Improved monster leash and return behavior.
- Improved AI chase behavior.
- Improved return-home logic for mobs.
- Improved movement synchronization.
- Improved geodata behavior in shared AI paths.
- Improved siege-related runtime behavior.
- Improved castle door and terrain interaction behavior.
These changes should help monsters behave more naturally, reduce strange movement issues, and make combat encounters feel cleaner.
Siege and World Stability
Several world-level systems were improved to reduce gameplay risks during live server activity.
- Improved siege system behavior.
- Improved castle door handling.
- Added better operational visibility for siege-related issues.
- Improved dropped item cleanup timing through configuration.
- Improved core scheduler stability.
These changes help support smoother large-scale gameplay and reduce the chance of server-side problems during important events.
Server Stability and Infrastructure
A lot of work also went into the foundation that keeps the server running cleanly.
- Improved network stability.
- Improved runtime scheduler behavior.
- Improved database connection handling.
- Reduced infrastructure-related risk in core systems.
- Improved support for future tools and services.
- Cleaned up development-side file handling for large temporary files.
Most players will not see these changes directly, but they matter. A more stable foundation means fewer strange issues, cleaner gameplay, and better support for future features.
Final Notes
This update is a major stability and systems milestone.
It improves the Classic gameplay experience, strengthens trading and shop safety, introduces mailbox support, prepares future marketplace systems, expands custom event content, and improves AI, movement, geodata, siege, and server reliability.
Some of the biggest improvements in this patch are invisible at first glance, but they are exactly the kind of changes that make the world feel better, safer, and more ready for long-term growth.
More updates are already on the way.
