Dear Metas,
We're planning a server maintenance and update on January 1 at 8:00 PM (PT). The maintenance is expected to last about 3 hours. Please plan your gameplay accordingly for the best experience.
Since Once Human's official launch, we've been closely monitoring community feedback and working on fixes and optimizations.
Below are the details of this update.
[h2]Character Deletion[/h2]
1. You can now delete characters using the Character Management function.
2. After initiating deletion, there will be a five-day countdown during which you can cancel the deletion process. The character's name will still be reserved and cannot be taken by other characters during this time.
3. When the countdown ends, the character will be permanently deleted and removed from your character list.
Notes:
1. During the deletion countdown, you cannot use or make any changes to the character, so you should manage your items beforehand. After the character is deleted, all their items will be permanently lost.
2. After deleting a character, a character slot will be freed up on your account. The character limit per account is still 10.
3. If your character is mistakenly deleted, please contact customer support, and we will do everything necessary to recover the lost data in part.
New Wish Machine Prize PoolsAfter the update on January 1, 2025 (PT), three new Wish Machine prize pools will be available for 3 weeks:
- Money Rain: Includes the Legendary weapon blueprint 'Raining Cash.'
- Depth Charge: Includes the Legendary weapon blueprint 'Jaws.'
- Armored Cowboy: Includes the Legendary gear blueprint 'Cowboy Boots,' and the Savior Jacket, Savior Gloves, and Savior Shoes.
