[Updated 4:00 PM PDT] The maintenance has been completed and we have extended Cash Shop items in your inventory for 16 hours. Please restart your Nexon Launcher or Steam to make sure that you get the latest client! Thank you for your patience.

We will be performing a scheduled game update starting on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 12:00 AM PDT (3:00 AM EDT / 9:00 AM CEST / 5:00 PM AEST). We anticipate the maintenance to conclude around 4:00 PM PDT (7:00 PM EDT / 1:00 AM CEST August 28 / 9:00 AM AEST August 28). 

Please note that the estimated length of time for each maintenance is subject to change without notification.

We ask that players please use any items expiring soon and claim all rewards before maintenance has begun as Player Support will be unable to restore any unclaimed rewards or expired items.

As a reminder we also ask players to please review the posts for the NA Interactive World Merge and the Steam Community Market (Beta).

Thanks for your patience!
