Smilegate announced on the 25th that it is adding 'S-Rank Plunder Battle' content and the 'Astra' system to its MMORPG, Lord Nine, alongside five spring-themed events. Furthermore, they confirmed the launch of 'Dinaferi', the game's first growth-acceleration server, arriving on the 27th.

The S-Rank Plunder Battle is a combat content where players fight over diamonds stored in the vaults of guilds that triumphed in the S-Rank Occupation Battles. Players are split into defenders and attackers for a 48-hour battle. If the defenders hold the line until the time expires, the diamonds are sent to the guild warehouse for the guild master to distribute. Successful attackers can earn up to 3 million diamonds.

The 'Astra' system allows players to grant combat buffs to their characters by consuming 'Pure Orr Crystals' obtained from dismantling in-game materials. Once a user reaches Mastery level 50, they can select and stack up to three desired buffs, such as magic resistance, damage, or accuracy.

Five spring events are also kicking off with this update. 'Rael's Special Attendance Event' runs until the 22nd of next month, where users can receive various growth items and the 'Shining Upgrade Scroll Box,' which may contain a Master Upgrade Scroll. 'Rael's Special Mission Event' lasts until the 15th of next month, rewarding players with 'Destiny Avatar Summon Tickets' upon completing missions.

Additionally, the 'Spring Part 2 Gold Shop' and 'Spring Part 2 Box Event' will be available until the 7th of next month. Users can purchase various summon tickets, dungeon recharges, and flower basket boxes for 100 gold in the shop. By opening boxes, players can progress through stages to potentially earn items up to a Master Upgrade Scroll. The 'Skin Contest Grand Prize Celebration Attendance Event' runs until the 22nd of next month, gifting the 'Grim Reaper, Soul Collector' avatar skin—last year's winning entry—on the 7th day of login.

Meanwhile, Smilegate is launching the 'Dinaferi' server on the 27th. The server will feature various experience buffs and large-scale in-game events. Pre-registration is open until the launch on the 27th via the official Lord Nine Stove community page or the official KakaoTalk channel.
