Items' prices bug

[tuan_qf]

As in the changes that listed in Notice topic below, I didn’t see anything regarding items prices (selling to NPC) change - in this case they’re reduced like 70%–>90% - so I assumed it is a bug.

Date: After regular Maintenance (Nov, 03)

Bug Description :
Item prices (when selling to NPC vendors) dramatically reduced about 70% -> 90%. If you assured this is indeed not a bug, then please clarify it’s not and put it in the changes log & notices.

Thanks in advance.

OT: FYI, I couldn’t post it under Game Content section due to the create new topic button greyed out.

Is anyone else under the impression that the staff is maintaining the servers remotely from Korea and that we probably won’t hear a word on the myriad of issues until, at the earliest, 7:00PM/19:00 EST (9:00 AM in Korea)?

[Arousing]

So this patch broke the economy, screwing over low level players and anyone who don’t have a ton of money on them. It also broke the game for a bunch of people who get errors when trying to start it again. Plus it didn’t fix the extremely buggy summoning circle quests?

Solid work IMC, I see the love for the international market.

Yea, I’m hoping this is just a bug. Losing money like crazy now rather than earning any. Hardly enough to even cover repair costs.

At the very least, I’ll be keeping the loot I had intended to vendor in the warehouse until we receive an official statement.

Edit:

The sudden rise in so many $DATA$ errors further supports the idea that it is indeed a bug rather than an intended ninja-change. Something likely went amiss with the database files.
