Compensation for the Long Maintenance

June 27th, 2012

Hi Elpeeps,

Thank you so much for your patience today as we needed a long maintenance to stabilize the game after adding Chung, our newest playable character. We are deeply sorry to have the game offline for so long, especially when we know how much you want to play as Chung.

Now that we’ve resolved the issues and the game status is back on, we want to express our thanks for your patience by offering the following bonuses, available from 6:30pm PDT 6/27 to 11:59pm PDT 6/28:

• 2X EXP
• 2X Drop rate

Again we offer these along with our heart-felt apologies. Now that Chung is out, we’re sure you will have a great time playing and having access to the bonuses for over a day will make it even more fun.

Sincerely,
The Elsword Team

We’re Doing Everything We Can to Resolve the Login Situation

June 27th, 2012

Hi Elpeeps,

It came to our attention early today that there was an issue preventing people from easily logging in to play Elsword. Since then, we have had everyone in the company focused on fixing this issue.

We’re deeply sorry that you are not able to play Chung right away. We’re also grateful for your enthusiasm for Elsword and want to make sure you keep the excitement to play as Chung.

We just want to assure you that this is the most important priority for us and we will do everything in our power to open the game back up soon with everyone able to login and play. Until then, we thank you for your patience and understanding and look forward to seeing you in the game soon.

Sincerely,

The Elsword Team

Chung is Here!

June 27th, 2012

Chung has escaped Hamel with the help of Elsword and his El Search Party. The young Prince has vowed to leave the Seiker name behind, until he can come back to his hometown with the strength and skill to protect it from demon forces. Now he’s on the road to becoming one of the fiercest fighters in all of Elrios! And soon enough he will have to make a decision that will help shape his future. Will he choose to be Fury Guardian or Shooting Guardian?

Chung arrives with his 1st Job Change this June 27th! Learn more about Hamel’s Rising Hero and Chung Release Events!
