All servers will be down for maintenance on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 5am PDT / 7am CDT / 8am EDT / 12pm UTC/GMT. Estimated downtime is approximately 4 hours.
The Halloween Surprise (watermelon) event will change in that nectar and seeds will no longer drop from monsters. You can continue to use up any nectar and seeds you already have, and trade with the event NPC for rewards.
The Loyalty Subscription Gifts for players that signed up in the past week, the Happy Halloween items, and the Thank You Gifts will be inserted into the warehouse of the highest-level character per server per account. (Please note that the character level is affected by subclasses: whichever character has the highest level, regardless of what class it's on, at midnight GMT/UTC will get the items.)
The Thank You Letters will be sent to players' mailboxes.
The Devotee Rewards will be distributed to all characters that logged 20 and 30 hours of playtime in the last week.
All characters' vitality will be refilled. A vitality refill will happen with every regular weekly maintenance.

I'm on the EDT timezone. So that means my highest level character should have been on her main class by 8 p.m. tonight.

God dammit.
I was hoping too to try to get the items on an alt by switching my main character to a sub, but it seems to be too late :( Unless maybe it was a typo and Sace meant 12pm when the servers go down? *just hoping*
:mad:About Nectar: Naia morning players (from 07:00 AM GTM 0 ) have only a drop rate about 50%> and after 07 PM drop rate is 100% (same spot-same char lvl ) !!
I play both night and morning so I can say that this is true!!! After 07:00 drop rate falls to 50%
WHY SACE??? morning players dont have the same rights as night players???? I checked this 3 days in a row (I sleep few hours so I play at any hour in the night or in the day)
And I will check in futur items drop and spoil rates too to verify if is only Nectar or if ALL drops and spoil change rate in the morning! This is serious! :mad: is not a joke! 3 hours ago I got 100 nectar/100 mobs now I have only 50
Well they say yes but defectve ones only drops 1 and you spend 5 to grow up so after 10-20 you have no more nectar! the rate of defective is too high so is better to destroy your copied watermelon seeds - they are useless!!
I wait ... mb with maintenace the rate of defective melons will be lower. On another post I asked Sace to verify this problem: if defective drop 5 nectar instead 1 we didnt loose our nectar

i know a nice tactic for making nectar, you probable know if the melon agro you 2 "you know the red effect" the melon drop only 1, so if you use 3 and you get 2 agro, you can stop. so no 5 nectar you will losed. the melon will dissapear 2 min later i think.

What would it be? I'm fairly bored around here today...
His first post was obviously irony. The person who asked him if it was supposed to be a provocation was answered through the typical NCsoft response "I can't tell you this now but will do so soon".
will NECTAR still drop from monsters after maintainance? :eek:
I missed it in the maintenance as well, but the even says clearly that after today's maintenance there will be no more drops anymore... Oh well, lets wait & see ;)

I laughed my *** off ;P
I got the original irony but missed the second! Nice catch, indeed fun!
The thing is: I'm a customer so I deserve an answer:
:mad: WHY drop rate shuts from 100% to 50% at 6:00 (around 6:00)???
when you restart Nevit you drop drop's rate or ... may be in the evening you double drop rate WHY? I dont guess the "WHY" because ....
May be is not your fault Sace but another GM's fault but I would like to have an answer and you are the appropriate person to do it.
This morning I was playing w/o stop from 4:00 until 7:00 so I'm sure about what I say!
drop rates have always been in favour of us time players,you are not the first who has noticed this.Asked why this was so 4-5 years back was no answer lol.So gl in getting an answer

Actually, there is an answer. It's a korean mechanic designed to reward casual play at peak times. And no, it hasn't always been this way. It's most noticeable during events but it applies to all drops and makes very little sense in the context of a server that caters to players in multiple time zones. Just another failure on ncsoft's part. This should have been localized or removed for our service as it doesn't serve the same purpose as it does in korea since we are all spread out over multiple time zones.

Finally logged in. Despite switching my highest level toon to the main class three hours after the deadline, she was able to get all gifts. Well, you showed me! Thank you.
