[+] Bug Fixes

- Can no longer equip Balmung without 75 Attack
- The Lag issue is fixed! It came down to one small addition to try and fix a different null, small mistake, big issue. All fixed and we're so very grateful that you stuck with us despite the issues.
- Fixed people being able to sell Mystery Boxes back to specific stores.. You know who you are.

 

We're aware the Update isn't huge and there were a lot of delays with it.

With the lag issue key in our minds & irl responsibilities taking over, the past 1-2 weeks of Development have been slow.

With Lare taking a few days off (extremely deserved) and myself working an annoying amount & having some family responsibilities.

As well as Arham being the genius wonder child he is being extremely busy with Schooling.. It's been a rough week/two.

The next few weeks should bring much better and juicier updates. And thankfully, the lag issue is fixed.

Thanks for sticking with us, and over the next few weeks, we'll show you why you made the right decision.

Thanks,

 

Jaedmo

Does buying Ataraxia dollars count towards the same person's donation level. i.e. if i buy $250 worth of Ata Dollars and sell them, do I get 250 donated onto my acc name?

As of the beta, the dollars do not count toward your amount donated. When the packages/spins/etc bought with the Ataraxia Dollars are redeemed by the player, they get the value of said item to their donation total. 

Also, great update guys. Thanks for the bug fixes and lag resolution.
