Dear SUN Players,

Our next content update is scheduled for February 25th, 2010! This will include the following:

-The level cap will be raised to 115.

-All new field: The Aiort Graveyard – including all new missions and quests.

-The Group System –

-This system allows you to share the benefits of game play with your friends. This format is akin to a family.
-One “parent “can invite a maximum of 5 “children” to a group.
-These 5 children can invite 5 of their own children. Those children can invite 5 of their own.
-The benefits will only be exchanged between parents and children. Grandparents and great grandparents will not receive any benefits.
-The parent will get 3% of the EXP bonus that the children acquire.
-If both the parent and children play simultaneously, the children get 3% of the heim bonus that the parent acquires.
-If the level of the children are greater than or equal to the parents, the benefit is not applied.
-Parents can receive up to 7 days of experience from their children, even if they are logged off, amounting to a maximum of 3 million experience.
-Family invitations can be done in-game, via your user interface.

-The Shield System –

All classes will receive Shield Points (SD) resulting the expanding HP during PvP combat.
-This is a self recovering system only. Your SD cannot be healed by others.
-Only sitting, standing, or running can recover SD.
-SD is only applied during PvP combat. 80% of damage in PvP will be distributed towards SD, and 20% will be distributed towards HP.
-If the damage received exceeds SD, SD is decreased first, and the remainder is distributed towards HP.
-SD is not visible to your fellow players.
Exceptions –
Poison, injuries, burns, weakening, dark fire, poison enchants, HP observation, panic, some skills will still direct HP directly and will not be distributed towards SD.

- Personal Way point - cash item will be added.

-Guild Mark Backgrounds - 138 kinds of guild mark backgrounds and patterns

-Quests –
-100 consecutive quests starting from level 70.
-89 quests in Etherain, Valley of Dragonkin, and Aiort Graveyard.
-Cursed Tower – 20 new quests for cursed tower. You will be able to get the seal and two rings from the quests.
-Some quests added between certain missions.
- Ignis necklace will be added.

 Be warned that this update did bring quite a few bugs with it.

 Most notable is the item requirements on equipment. Items now only state that a class is needed, whereas it should show how many stats are needed in that class to wear it.

 Example: say you are a Dragon Knight with a Dragonic stat build, the equipment for that build no longer shows how many Dragonic stats are required.

 Not being able to see stat requirements on all equipment is especially problematic for any new player, and apparently IJJI is already trying to get a fix from NHN asap.

 Until that happens you can look up item requirements @ http://forums.ijji.com/showthread.php?t=811493

ya, thats quite the pain in the ass

Ive also run into the bug where you cannot see floating text above character models (players/npcs) or items dropped on the ground.  So I dont know what anything is until I pick it up, and I cant see a players name above their head.  This can be nerve wracking in pvp areas not being able to see someones murder status if theyre red.  *EDIT* I just figured out what the issue was.  I had previously modified the graphics setting for the game in the nVidia control panel forcing max AA and using antisotropic filtering.  I set it back to default and it works fine now
