Endless Online 0.4.7 : Dev Post
The Server Migration

Dev Post:
|
The EO Server has moved from Ashburn, USA, and landed in Salt Lake City, USA. This move was an attempt to increase server capacity and stability. It became evident that the current virtual server had become too strained to consistently handle peak hours. To improve things, a decision was made to contract a dedicated server and rush the release of Client 0.4.7, which has some new built-in features to fallback to the new server, ensuring everyone stays connected during the DNS mitigation period. Let's hope for the best! This also means that this update is unplanned, and most of the time was spent on the process of finding and installing the new hardware. No new quests or items have been added.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this update is relatively modest. Nevertheless, the patch introduces The Hallows, an eerie island with the Haunted House (HH). Additionally, the trade system has undergone enhancements and now utilizes a handshake trading/trading -> locked/locked -> agreed/agreed mechanism to ensure greater safety for all players. The boat ticket to Haunted Hallows is free for a limited time!

Haunted Hallows
The Haunted Hallows is designed as a dedicated continent for the classic Haunted House (HH) theme, bringing eerie forests, twisted paths, and abandoned structures into one cohesive space.
The focus was on creating a natural yet unsettling environment, where dense trees, dark lighting, and subtle details build a constant sense of tension. Rather than a simple recreation, the area expands on the theme with smoother transitions, clearer navigation, and improved gameplay flow.

Haunted House
The classic Haunted House maps have been fully remastered and added back to the world, bringing a familiar experience with a fresh layer of detail and atmosphere. Alongside the visual upgrades, several new maps have been added to expand the haunted region, offering more variety and exploration for players.
To complement this, new quests have been integrated, guiding players deeper into the mysteries of the Hallows while rewarding curiosity and progression. The goal was to preserve the original spirit of the Haunted House while enhancing it with modern design, improved flow, and additional content to make the experience feel both nostalgic and new.

About: Trade System Upgrade
|
|
The trade system has been updated with additional safeguards to improve clarity and security during exchanges. A double handshake process is now in place, where both players first agree and lock the trade, followed by a final confirmation from each side. If any changes are made during this process, the handshake is reset so both players can review and confirm again. This helps ensure both parties stay aligned throughout the trade and reduces the chance of mistakes. The goal is a more transparent and steady trading experience, with clear steps that support mutual confirmation before any items are exchanged.

The Halloween update is still scheduled for October. Let's witness just how spooky Aeven can become with the introduction of the new light system!
