General


 * Malatina's Survival Game (A new NPC has been spotted in Varanas: Malatina. She's a clown and she has a game for you to play. But be aware: If you are below level 15, it might get too tough.)
 * For 30 Phirius Tokens (a.k.a. "Bierdine tokens") Malatina opens a special instanced dungeon just for you.
 * In this dungeon you will find a playing field with 36 tiles. Under 12 of those tiles you might find hidden treasure, under the rest of the tiles lurks a monster. Don't worry too much about them, because they are adjusted to your level.
 * Around the field there is a matrix of pillars that can cause considerable damage, when the player enters the field wanting to search the treasure.
 * You have 10 minutes to disarm the pillars and dig for treasure.
 * At the corners there are teleporters to assist the players - especially those without the ability to tank.
 * If you manage to clear all tiles, you will gain a special title by repeating it you will be rewarded with more titles which also gives a bonus.
 * Should you manage to do much better, you have the chance to gain 2 more titles that have their very special perks...
 * You can only participate once a day in this event - you can not use Daily-Quest Resets.


 * New elite monsters have been introduced. These new Elite monsters pose new challenges and come with exciting new rewards. You can find these mobs in:
 * Sascillia Steps
 * Dragonfang Ridge

 * Removed Bloody Gallery opening time restrictions.
 * Added auction house success or failed message.
 * Servers now are organized by language and sorted by (number of players / player load).
