Vampir has collated feedback from its 'successors'—that's what they call the players—gathered between November 3 and November 8, and published the results on their improvement board. These insights, harvested through in-game GM activities, are categorised into implemented, unimplemented, and partially implemented items. Every single point received a direct comment from the planning team lead, which KookminTree has kindly summarised for you below. Furthermore, there is a slight tweak to the in-game GM schedule coming next week, so do keep an eye on those timings.

Q. Can we increase the limit on exchange usage?
A. We are maintaining the current policy to prevent system exploitation.

Two items were left off the implementation list this time. First, the request to raise the limit on exchange usage remains unchanged. Currently, you can link up to five accounts to the exchange under your own name. Frankly, it is quite rare for a standard player to need the exchange for all five accounts simultaneously, which suggests this isn't exactly a draconian restriction.

If you are already running five accounts and fancy adding more, you are out of luck unless you delete an existing one. This is a necessary braking mechanism to keep 'gold farmers' at bay and ensure the environment remains safe for all. As there are no plans to change this, it has been excluded from the improvement board.

Requests to allow players to wear the in-game GM costumes have also been excluded. This is a deliberate design choice to ensure players can distinguish staff from the public, preventing impersonation. It’s working as intended, so the team has reiterated that these costumes—and even their appearance variants—will not be released to the public.

Q. Do I have to manually decline every single spammy clan application?
A. We are planning improvements regarding 'clan application restrictions'.

With the exclusions out of the way, let us look at what is actually changing. A player named 'Gimpotajja' on the Kizaya 2 server voiced the frustration of managing a clan, specifically the daily deluge of application requests. Currently, there is no filter for clan applications, leaving leaders and administrators to manually click 'reject' on potentially hundreds of requests a day. Since many of these are just junk accounts from gold farmers, a feature to set entry conditions is desperately needed.

The planning lead confirmed that they intend to implement this feature. They also promised to keep reviewing clan quality-of-life improvements to ensure a smoother experience for everyone.

There was also chatter regarding the clan vault. While it received an update recently, the team is still monitoring usage. Future tweaks will include fixing the scroll reset issue when distributing rewards, increasing transparency in the exchange via designated trading and public buyer information, and even expanding the number of items a clan can register on the exchange based on certain criteria. It is a dual approach: fix the annoyance and provide an incentive for clan growth.

Q. What is the in-game GM schedule for the last week of November?
A. The hours have shifted to between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, when player activity is at its peak.

If you were hoping to corner a GM for a chat this week, do check the schedule above. Sadly, most of this week is set aside for 'GM activity reorganisation'. Queries will be off the table from November 18 to November 21. Once the maintenance period concludes, the hours will shift to a three-hour window every weekday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Also, bear in mind that every Wednesday is reserved for updates, making those days 'reorganisation' periods as well.

Next week, the schedule will cover 16 servers, including Shima 2. One GM is assigned per server during the set hours, and to keep things fair, the order of server visits is randomised. Should an unexpected issue—like emergency maintenance—clash with these hours, the time will either be extended that day or carried over to the next shift.

If you fancy a face-to-face encounter, you can find the GMs at 'Krubna Nest, Poenari Fortress, or Kiel Cathedral'. Alternatively, the easier route is a 1:1 whisper. Unless the person you are contacting is stuck in Gehenna, you can invite a GM regardless of your current location for a quick chat.
