We are pleased to announce that the Adamantoise World technical difficulties have been resolved. As for the 30-minute character data roll back, which we announced may occur in our previous news, we were able to recover as much recent data as possible. Therefore, only a small amount of data that was not saved properly immediately before the server went down will experience roll back. Please be assured that all other data has been recovered correctly.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience.
