Hello Commanders.

We would like to share the following information regarding Server 232 and the Race to Berlin scheduled for January 31 (UTC).​​

In the case of Server 232, as of January 24, the server age was classified as being under 140 days, and it was therefore assigned as an eligible server for the Race to Berlin Skirmish matchmaking.​​

However, as the Race to Berlin is scheduled to resume on January 31, the server age of Server 232 will have exceeded 140 days by that time. As a result, while we made efforts to adjust the processing between the server age criteria and the matchmaking system in order to honor our commitment to maintaining the existing matchmaking, we confirmed that an immediate fix was not feasible under the current circumstances. Consequently, Commanders on Server 232 will be unable to participate in this Race to Berlin.​

​

Following the fact that the Race to Berlin scheduled for January 24 could not proceed as intended, we would like to once again offer our deepest apologies that the Race to Berlin scheduled for January 31 (UTC) will not be carried out smoothly either on certain servers.​​

Additionally, as previously announced, the Race to Berlin on January 31 is being conducted while maintaining the existing matchmaking, and all related preparations, including increased monster drop rewards and spawn counts for the Race to Berlin, have been fully completed.

​​

A a result, we determined that proceeding with a normal Race to Berlin for the majority of Commanders would be the best course of action to ensure an enjoyable experience. Accordingly, this week’s Race to Berlin will be conducted as outlined above, and we will prioritize improvements with the utmost effort to prevent similar system-related participation issues from occurring in the future.

​We sincerely apologize to the Commanders of Server 232 who had been waiting for the Race to Berlin for a long time. Although the conditions required for Race to Berlin participation will be met by next Monday, participation was ultimately not possible. We will therefore make every effort to ensure that a reward for this non-participation is provided as quickly as possible.​

​

​We fully understand the feelings of the Commanders who patiently waited, spent time strengthening their forces, and adjusted their personal schedules in preparation. We deeply apologize once again for the repeated inconvenience and confusion caused despite this understanding.

We will do our utmost to conduct a thorough review of the overall system and implement necessary improvements to ensure that the same issue does not occur again.​​

​

Thank you.​​
