The Skies
June 23, Patch #13
Improvements:
Lifetime Premium Account option will be turned off
XP refund
After the last wipe, some part of XP was lost (it didn't impact your level as we promised, but still we realize that it was not very pleasant), and we apologize for this. Since we don't want to neglect the outcome, tomorrow after live update we'll be providing automatic compensation of XP.
Thanks a lot for your understanding.

Inventory wipe complete
Sorry for that again, but we had to do this to remove advantage of unfair players.
Inventory wipe only
wipe of the inventory which is now planned for June 17th. Attention:
this refers to Inventory only. Your LEVEL will be SAVED. Your gold
purchases will be all returned, so, you won't lose anything. When we
had the first wipe we've announced that the next one will occur after
polishing the economic system - and this time has came. Please, take a look at the reasons and further plans below:
- with the introduction of auction new dupes have appeared.
- some players were collaborating telling about them, but really many
players were abusing the bugs and the balance was impacted
significantly.
- fair players do not like this and are disappointed with the unfair
situation. Players who were duping... well, we're sure that earlier or
later it will become not interesting for you to play if we don't do
this wipe now. Playing fair and discovering the game's real balance
should be more exciting and moving forward you have an excellent
opportunity to fight with others with equal rights.
- we believe that players who're playing fair game and who have tested
early alpha games previously won't be disappointed since they realize
that the solution is taken for making the game better.
- all the found places allowing to cheat and dupe have been fixed and now we hope you'll be able to test it out as it should be.
what's going to happen next:
- starting with this moment rewarding the most active players for their help in
testing with the weapons, armor, etc, will be stopped. Just promo codes for some initial weapon to start the game with will take part in various contests on the websites and streams, not high-level weapons. It's not because of the fact that we don't value your help. It's because of the fact that it impacts the balance and discourages other players.
- we now have tools that will allow us to work with cheaters and
hackers and players who dupe individually avoiding global wipes.
- if players dupe items and don't report this to administration,
they'll be banned.
- if players use cheats and hacking - they'll be banned.
We really appreciate your help along this thorny path. You've became
members of the team helping us with so many things and growing the
project together with us. We hope that moving forward we don't
disappoint you and reach our final goal, still having fun during this
path.
Please, accept this solution and don't write us that you'll be leaving
and that we'll lose players - we respect you and your solution, so,
please, respect our solutions too. We know that we may lose players
who don't like early alpha or who don't like the game or who don't
like fair game any way - this is natural process- and we're ready for this because our final goal is to make great game and we're happy to achieve this together with everyone else who is ready, who understands the overall situation in the game and our solutions and who enjoys the process. We'll be
rewarding alpha testers in the end whatever, so your help won't be
forgotten. :)
Until then, already very soon we'll finish all the latest fixes, improve PVP, push live the new website where you'll be able to invite to clans, keep an eye in interesting statistics of every clan and ratings and collaborate.
More of interesting content is coming soon too, such as female character, new location with nice loot, etc. So, stay tuned!
Warmest regards,
Your developers
