■ Update Version:: v0.4.9

[h2]4-Player-Multiplayer Support[/h2]

Changed Multiplayer from a maximum of 2 players to a maximum of 4 players.

[h2]■ Party System[/h2]

Added a party system for the 4-player multiplayer support.
Through this system, players can share experience points, monster kills, and more.
The party system is essential for tracking each other's locations and participating in boss battles together.

[h2]Lock System[/h2]

A new lock system has been developed to protect your valuable home and treasure chests.
Locks can be installed on chests and doors, preventing interaction with them by anyone other than the owner.
However, party members can still interact with locked chests and doors if permission is granted through the party system.

[h2]New Shared Chest System[/h2]
The long-awaited shared chest system is now live!

Shared chests will now allow players to share materials better with each other.
Store your materials in the shared chest and feel free to share them with others!

Important Information

The teleportation system has been changed for system management purposes.
Disconnect issues may occur intermittently, but a patch will be released soon to improve this.
For optimization purposes, the quest "Records on the Crimson Wetlands" has been temporarily suspended.
We will improve the performance for this quest and plan to activate this quest again with the next update
