Dear Metas,
We're planning a server maintenance and update on November 7 at 12:00 noon (UTC+8). The maintenance is expected to last about 4 hours. Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience.
Since the official launch of Once Human, we've been closely monitoring feedback from the community and working on fixes and optimizations.
This update includes a brand-new event, Battle Pass III, a Season Calendar, and major optimizations to the Prismverse's Clash scenario.
Note: Unless otherwise stated, all times in this announcement refer to local server times.
Below are the details of this update.

Server Optimizations[/h3]
1. Optimized server performance to reduce latency when many players are assembled in the same place, such as when fighting Chaosweavers.
* We will continue to optimize and adjust server performance. Please continue to send us your feedback.
2. In certain regions, we are piloting a new network protocol that is expected to improve latency issues on some servers. If the pilot test is successful, we will roll out the new protocol to the other regions and servers.
