While players who’ve reached the Ice League celebrate their upcoming CR-72, a very pleasant surprise awaits everyone in the lower tiers!
We’ve made a small adjustment to the percentile-based league distribution — and now, every league except Golden will get a well-deserved boost!

🗒 What’s changed:

RU region: +250 spots per league;
EU: +100;
NA: +50;
SEA/NEA: +20.

Previously, league boundaries were calculated based on all ranked players — including those in the top Ice League.
Now, Ice League players are excluded from the boundary calculations for Golden and lower leagues.

📌 Example:

If there are 12 players, with 2 in Ice and the rest in Golden or Silver, Golden used to stop after the 2 Ice players. Now, those below are promoted to Golden, as Ice players don't count toward Golden's limit.
This change brings more fairness to those fighting for Golden, not just the absolute top.

❗️ These changes will be taken into account when distributing rewards, but will not be reflected in the in-game UI.

We hope this gift warms you up in the middle of the icy snowstorm!

Sincerely,
EXBO Team

[p][/p][p]As many of you know, we've had a server in Singapore (SEA) for years now, however, the online activity there has remained at a minimum value since launch and shows only minimal growth year after year. This taught us that simply opening servers is not enough — we need to adapt our game and build dedicated publishing teams for each region, who will handle localization, community engagement, legal matters, and marketing.[/p][p]When choosing which region to start with, we noticed Korea — local players had already shown interest in our game, and it's generally considered one of the most gaming countries in the world! Therefore, we spent a year preparing the Korean localization, adapting interfaces, and are now launching servers in test format to gather initial feedback and identify all issues that need to be addressed before starting the marketing campaign.[/p][p]We want to emphasize that this server is not just for players from Korea, all players from countries in Northeast Asia can play on it. We will monitor which countries show the most interest and activity in our game, and we will make decisions about further localization and opening new servers based on this data.[/p][p]And we haven't forgotten those who have already played with us and want to switch regions — we’ve automatically transferred all progress from SEA players to the new server. When you log in, you can choose the new server and start with an already leveled character. However, there will be no dynamic progression transfer between servers, this is a one-time action. Meaning, if you play on SEA in the future, your progress won't carry over to NEA![/p][p]That’s all for now! We consider this launch as a test phase, so we ask that you treat any potential technical issues or shortcomings with understanding and actively share feedback with us! We will do our best to fix everything as quickly as possible, and a dedicated publishing team on NEA, led by @Tigor, will be constantly pushing for improvements — these guys are fully responsible for the region and have direct influence over the developers.[/p][p]Sincerely,[/p][p]ZIV[/p]
