List of changes being applied to the server on 21.12.2020
BAIUM
The following changes have been made to Baium in order to try to keep it relevant and somewhat challenging as well as to try to make it more PVP friendly.
- Baium level has been increased to level 80
- Baium HP has been increase by about 2 times
- Baium skill power has been slightly increased
- Baium room and the zone immediately after the door is now PVP zone.*
- Baium respawn window has been changed for a 8 hour window making so Baium spawn time now will be 5d +/- 4 hours.
- Baium quest will now give 5 cloths instead of 1 cloth both on the 100 QI option or the 1000 QI option.
* This is in test mode and will be analyzed to see what kind of behavior creates on the server, if we see it being good for server and creating more fun for the players we might consider using this same mechanics for other situations, if we see this is not positive for the server and its a unnecessary change we might consider removing it.

This is a part 1 of a balance patch that was supposed to be released somewhere in January but to allow me to focus more time on the class balancing features and changes, and due to some of latest server dynamics, opted to get this not class balance related part out of the way.
With this also try to incentive pvp by offering players a option to have less to lose when they die and forcing the fight on a big objective like Baium. Players will now have a easier time finishing Baium quest meaning they can use them more often to go inside Baium room more often to try to fight for it more often without having to worry so much about spending next 4 months farming quest items for next Baium.
By allowing clans to have more slots, they can now increase their ranks with more players in main clans that will have access to full skills and hero skills while on pvp, also more people will be able to share the spoils of having a CH or a castle due to fact they are inside of main clans instead of box alt clans.
It was pointed out at some point also that on high levels people have hard time going for a PVP unless its a sure win or if they are inside of a farm zone due to the fact EXP loss was heavy after certain levels and the fear of droping something worth billions by dying to a monster in middle of a random fight, due to this, and to help with some other situations, the new clan skill was added now for EXP loss and another one will be added in future for item loss, clans now will have the option to pursue this clan skills, so they can have more freedom on PVP without such fear of too high EXP loss as well as decreasing the probability of losing billions worth of items. We hope this is one step on the good direction and will direct the groups who are more scared of both exp loss and item loss to start joining the fights more often making it more interesting for everyone in the later stages of the game.
As for the lvl 75 bosses changes, we are not happy with having people who get their way up to 70ish + lvl and after this moment they log at 20:50 join a party for bosses and then after log off and go do something else, and still gets a good chunk of exp for the day. So with this time changing we are removing the option of a SURE daily exp cuz from now on they might get it in time but they might lose it also and by this forcing people to try to progress the old way, by farming. There's is plenty of zones players can farm now a days, there is almost no excuses why players should not be able to farm normally in one of them. As mentioned before, if this change wont be enough to change the dynamics of the server, in a near future this bosses experience will be heavily reduced.
