Yeah, good changes and the kr dev stream sounds like further better changes coming too. Just sucks they waited so long / let things get bad enough they have to do so much fixing and apologizing.

How easy is this to get back into?
This really depends on your goals and what you mean by getting back into. The game is not friendly for returning players as you're tossed a lot of systems and progressing systems that have since been added to the game. The result of this is that people often feel overwhelmed and since most people can't be bothered to watch a Youtube video will just quit. With that being said, if you have a day or so to spare, the returning player experience can be quite good after going over the systems, specifically including;

1) You'll get a lot of interesting Power Up's that will make your character feel stronger & stronger every day/week.
2) You'll have access to a metric fuckton of MMO content that will be easily accessible through solo raids.
3) You'll be able to progress the horizontal shit a lot easier as all of this has been made more player friendly.
4) You'll have quite a bit of story to play through and enjoy.

None of the above matters if you get frustrated with receiving 10 billion catch up items upon logging in and feeling overwhelmed but, from a content standpoint, there's a lot of good that is highly enjoyable for any returning player and the price point ($0) is a good one.

Abbreviated system updates:

Raid Balance & Resurrection System for Kazeros Raids​

With the June monthly update arriving several weeks after the Act 3 raid, we will be implementing a resurrection system and decreasing the difficulty of several past raids (Behemoth, Echidna, Aegir, and Brelshaza). The June release notes will have full detailed descriptions for both the raid balance adjustments along with the resurrection system, but the quick summary is that each player will receive a single revive (per gate attempt), that can be used after dying to most things (excluding certain patterns or wipe mechanics). This will allow the first few weeks of the Frontier System to remain challenging for Act 3, but will ensure that all raids become more accessible for casual players and alternate characters.

Stylebook & Stronghold Portrait Systems​

We’re excited to announce that the Stylebook feature will be arriving in the main June update at the end of the month.

Summer 2025​

Mokoko Bootcamp​

While we saw a lot of positive feedback reinforcing the decision to tie Mokoko status to 10x Raid Clears, we also saw some player concerns about the system still having an Item Level cap after we shared the planned changes, so we wanted to share the planned level. When the Mokoko Bootcamp returns this summer with the adjustments, it will be extended to include Aegir (Act 1) Hardmode and Brelshaza (Act 2) Normal Mode. For these raids, we plan for the Item Level cap to be at 1689

Skin Collection Book​

Quick context; it’s a feature that allows for a more organized cosmetic collection and expands the number of available slots to stash cosmetics in your inventory. This will release alongside the Paradise system this summer

Una’s Task Improvements​

Daily Una’s Tasks will be improved to help balance the amount of daily/weekly ‘homework’ activity when the Paradise system is added into the game. Daily tasks will remain, but once the reputation milestones are reached, the tasks will disappear. Daily Una’s rewards will be moved to weekly quest rewards.

Mileage Shop​

Our policy for the Mileage Shop will be providing 10% of past Royal Crystals spent through the in-game shop as “Prestige Points”, which can be exchanged for a variety of rewards in the Mileage Shop. It’s important to note that Prestige Points are not awarded for Steam DLC or MTX items, or for items purchased with Crystals. This will also retroactively apply to past Royal Crystal expenditures. We are currently targeting August for the full release of the Mileage Shop.
