07/20 Improvements Pre-Announcement

★ 07/20 Market Board Revamp Pre-Announcement

Here is the pre-announcement for the Market Board Improvements update for 07/20 00:00 PDT maintenance.

1. About Hoarding/Cornering
   Here’s the direction we hope to take in regards to hoarding and cornering the market.
    
   When looking at in-game trades, there are often cases in which the players joined after the release of items, or the item has no longer been in the item mall for a long period, forcing players who wish to obtain the item at a current day to purchase them at a high price. This, unfortunately led to some players taking advantages of these propensities and hoarding all the items, and not releasing them until the item value increase for what could be unfair profit.
    
   In order to lessen the impact of hoarding/cornering, we will be releasing past items (Ice Burners, Pets, Mounts, etc.) and are also planning to re-release old costumes.
    
   * Currently, which items and how they will be released is still under discussion and the specifics will be announced at a later date. Please note that we are unable to announce the specific schedules and item lists currently.
    
2. Excessive Repetition of Trade for Profit
   The existing Sales Agent Certificate was added in the game to lessen the burden for players who trade, but as time went on, it was used more to purchase/resell high profit items from certain player base rather than being used as ease of access, or how it was originally intended. This led to an unfair profit being made in certain groups and the system was in need of a revamp.
    
   In order to tackle this issue, the new ‘Market Premium Ticket’ added after 07/20 00:00 PDT will have a 3% sales fee, and personal trade using ED will have the same sales fee as when you use the Market Board.(Market Premium Ticket effect does not apply to personal trade.)
    
   In order to make sure these changes do not lead to most players being adverse or avoiding trade, the general sales fee for using the Market will be decreased from 10% → 5%, in addition to sellable items and the sellable price of items increasing. Furthermore, the market price information has been added in more detail for more transparent and stable trade.
    
   * We will continue to monitor the Market Board after the initial update to make sure that the new system is not abused. Furthermore, we will do our best to make sure the experience is convenient for most players through continued monitoring of the data and access frequency.
    
3. ETC: Sales Agent Certificate Announcement
   As announced before, all Sales Agent Certificate items will be deleted by 07/19 23:59 PDT. Related refund policies will be announced at a later date through announcements.
   • The current Sales Agent Certificate items can be used until 07/19 23:59 PDT and the item effects will last for the duration of the item.
