◆ Season Mode

A Season Mode system that can be played for a certain period of time will be introduced. 

✔ Please see the ‘Improvements and Other Changes’ section below for more details on the changes

  that will be made with the introduction of the Season Mode system. 

■ Season Mode – Characters

 - Season Mode can be played with Season characters.

  You can create Season characters by selecting the ‘Season’ mode UI when creating a character.

 - Season characters and Standard characters can meet through town visits and Chat/Social features.

  However, for some game content, both types of characters cannot participate together.

 - Season characters and Standard characters cannot use the same Guild. 

 - Season characters will be converted into Standard characters at the end of each Season.

■ Character Transfer

 - You can change Standard characters you own into Season characters.

 - If you proceed with character transfer, all data, including equipped gear and items in your Bag,

  and excluding character name, will be reset and the character will be changed to a Level 1 character.

  As reset data cannot be recovered, please consider the above carefully before proceeding.

 - Once you log in after transferring your character, the tutorial story that progresses to Malo Front will begin. 

 - If the next Season does not start immediately after the end of a Season,

  character transfer cannot be done until the next Season begins.

  E.g.) If Season 1 ends on Jul. 6 and Season 2 starts on Jul. 20,

  you cannot transfer your character after the Jul. 6 maintenance – before the Jul. 20 maintenance.

 - If there are items that can be claimed from the Auction House/Trading Post,

  you will not be able to proceed with character transfer.

 - Your Social data (Friend List) will not be deleted even if you proceed with character transfer.

 - If the modes of the Guild Master and a Guild Member become different due to character transfer,

  the Guild Member, excluding the Guild Master, will not be able to use Guild content.

 - Once a season ends, Season Mode Guilds will be converted into Standard Mode Guilds,

  but Season Mode information (Guild Level and Guild Members) will not be reset.

  In other words, if a Season ends whilst Season mode characters have created and are participating in a Guild,

  the Guild will be converted into a Standard mode Guild without members leaving the Guild.

■ Chat Window

 - During Seasons, a Season icon will be displayed in the Chat window when Season Mode characters chat.

 - The Chat feature will be improved so that you can filter Standard/Season messages through Chat settings. 

■ Recruit Party

 - Recruit Party messages will also only be shown to users from the same mode.

 - Season Challenges can be carried out and rewards received until the Season ends.

　Rewards that are not claimed after the Season ends will not be restored, so please claim your rewards beforehand.

 - Season Challenge Rewards are divided into shared-within-account rewards and Season Rewards.

 - Shared-within-account rewards are rewards that can be used both by Standard and Season characters,

  and include Costumes and Pets.

 - Once shared-within-account rewards are claimed, they can be used by Standard characters even during the Season.

 - Season Rewards are rewards that can be used in Season Mode,

  and are integrated into Standard Mode once the Season ends.

■ Season Rankings

 - Season Rankings can only be participated in by Season characters.

  Once a Season ends, Season Reward currency and Title Tickets are given according to your ranking.
