Attention all players,

as you should have already read here in our previous news, we will deploy a new version tomorrow. In addition to that, we want to perform a trade system stress test again.

Key facts:

• New version of the trade system on September 6th 7th
• No Account wipe
• Stress test on September 7th, 15:00-17:00 (CEST)
• Goal: To have 7.000 trades at the same time
• Reward: You will receive a special reward for your live account after the test

The additional slots for trading will still be free of charge, so you are able to use our trading system very intense without the need of paying coins or gems.

The reward will be sent to you here on the test server, appox. 1-2 hours after the end of the test, via ingame message as a code. It can be used for your live account, same procedure as during the test event.

Your help is very much appreciated, so spread the word!

Best regards,
