Additional QnA
Q. The maintenance times for the Global, Japan, and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau servers are all different. When will the maintenance take place for the O.N.E. August: UNITED SERVER update on Aug 19 (Tue)?
A. The maintenance on Aug 19 (Tue) will take place at the same time across the Global, Japan, and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau servers. A detailed schedule will be shared in a future maintenance notice.
Q. What will happen to the ongoing events on each server?
A. Most events on each server—except for a few that are available across all servers—will end before the maintenance on Aug 19 (Tue).
New events will begin after the UNITED SERVER update on Aug 19, and the available events will be identical across Europe, Americas, and united Asia servers.
Q. Since the average CP is different on each server, will there be any events to help Adventurers with lower CP after the update?
A. Because Adventurers on the Global, Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau, and Japan servers have been playing separately, the average CP varies between servers. For this, we’ve been running events to support Adventurers' progression, such as Restoration Scroll Bonus Event and the Power Boost Project on the Global server.
After the UNITED SERVER update, we’ll continue to offer a variety of support events to ensure you can progress swiftly.
Q. What will happen to my restriction records after the UNITED SERVER update? Will they continue to accumulate, or will they be reset?
A. After the UNITED SERVER update, the restriction records will not be reset and will remain as is.
This is necessary to ensure a healthy gameplay environment, and the updated Operational Policy as well as restriction criteria will apply to all Adventurers after the servers have been united.
Q. After the UNITED SERVER update, what will happen to exploration times in seamless zones, Black Shrine entry counts, food buff durations, and Nightmare debuff effect?
A. Exploration times you have accumulated will remain after the update. Additionally, Black Shrine entries, normal EXP buffs, Path of Glory, and other bonus effects and extra entries will also be kept.
Q. Will the number of Nodes and Castles for Node and Siege War stay the same after the UNITED SERVER update? Or will they be adjusted to match the increased number of Guilds?
A. After the UNITED SERVER update, the number of Nodes and Castles will remain the same as they are now.
Q. After the UNITED SERVER update, will the requirements for rankings like General and Viscount remain the same as the number of Adventurers increases? What will happen to the Family CP and individual CP rankings?
A. The requirements will remain unchanged. Rankings will be calculated based on the percentage of Adventurers, excluding characters who have not logged in during the ranking calculation period. After the update, all rankings will be recalculated for all Adventurers, and your ranking may change depending on your CP.
Q. After the UNITED SERVER update, will I be able to use collaboration items from my region?
(e.g., Mai Shiranui Outfit from Japan, Mentori Pet from Taiwan, or the Bugatti Outfit from Global)
A. You will be able to use Pets, outfits, and other items from collaboration events after the update.
Q. What will happen to the list of restricted words after the UNITED SERVER update?
A. As previously notified, new restricted words will be added, and some of the currently restricted words may be removed to better fit the updated environment.
Q. Can Adventurers from Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau and Japan also join the Global Discord?
A. To create a more vibrant community on our Discord, Japanese and Traditional Chinese channels have been created in the Global Discord server.
Please give a warm welcome to the Adventurers from Japan and Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau!
Q. Can I continue using my current game app after the United Server update on Aug 19 (Tue)?
A. Yes. After the update maintenance on August 19, simply update your app through your usual store and log in as you normally would.
