FAQs
Q: Will maintenance end earlier than the scheduled 7 hours?
Yes, it’s possible! Based on previous updates, Kuro Games often completes maintenance 1-2 hours early. However, plan for the full 7-hour window (ending at 11:00 AM UTC+8) to avoid disappointment. Follow official social media for real-time updates on early completion.
Q: What happens if I’m logged in when maintenance starts?
You’ll be automatically disconnected from the server when maintenance begins at 4:00 AM (UTC+8). Any unsaved progress in ongoing activities may be lost, so finish your tasks before the scheduled start time. Players who unlocked the mail feature before maintenance will still receive the 300 Astrites compensation.
