The highly anticipated updates of Batheo's new version will start first on the 1st merged server, AMBRY, at 16:00 on Nov 16th, 2011* for about 2 hours. The server will then be shut down for the updates. Gold purchase function will not be available during this downtime. If AMBRY stays steady after the updates, the remaining servers (S2-S45) will follow suit very soon. If the updates fail to be completed on time, the availability of the game will then be delayed accordingly. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Below are several main new features to be updated:
1. Melt System: Yellow equipment or above can be melted to get Gems.
2. Revision of Guild Panel: You can directly view the result when you successfully get a new trader. The refining bonuses of each trader will be displayed as a small icon. Rewards will be displayed in your Refining Panel.
3. Drop Rate increases in the Attack and Extra Attack. ???
4. There will be an increase in the limit for your Levy. NOT
Update: 6. There will be an upper limit of the Levy amount. ???
5. Gamers who quit the game for a period will be rewarded with bountiful Gold, Drachmas and Laurels if they return. (Probably low amount)
6. Prosperity will decrease every day when it reaches certain amount. (Already implemented)
7. Enhancement cost of all equipment will be reduced. (Down 5 %)
8. Investment will increase the Hostility towards the other Factions.

New features that ClapAlong didn't bother to write (or don't know about):
Obelisk: Help Players.
Batheo In game announcement moved down and left by a few pixels. Now on top of activity box.
Server Time? ClapAlong deleted it. Good job.
ClapAlong added ↓ arrow after many titles.
Added renascence level and button on training tab.
Player info bar now lighter color.
Caravans pop up info.

Cities, player cities button changed. (Now look like Ancient Chinese buildings, not Ancient Greek building lol, they are imported image from Chinese servers)

Traders now look like the prestige heroes of the game


World Chat System is now ugly green! Yes, ClapAlong picked this (#779E8C) color for World Chat!
<= (#779E8C)



4. Revision of Tutorial: The new Tutorial is more instructive and thorough. Gamers can master the game quicker and with more ease. Heroes at the beginning of the game will be stronger. NPCs in the first two maps will be less difficult to defeat.

You start at lv 9, many stuff are already done for you.
No laurels, no drop from Trial of Perseus. You get equips as you progress.
The tutorial will keep talking and talking after you defeat every single NPC.
You can only see Expedition tab, heroes, buildings somehow increase automatically as you progress.
You shall pass Trial of Perseus when you start the game: NPC are much easier and there is no CD.


Melting:
Full Yellow item: 5 gems
Full Red item: 40 gems
Purple frag: 21 gems each?

More to come.
