Lots of updates coming sometime soon, hopefully later in the week.
EDIT: The server will be down at 00:00 28/08/17 for 1-2 hours for a maintenance and to apply the following updates:
NIGHTTIME PARTY BONUS SYSTEM
It can be a bit quiet in the late evening/early morning so lonely players trying to form a party to crawl the dungeons between 9pm and 6am will receive bonus buffs if they can't find enough players to fill the party. The bonuses increase depending on how many empty slots are in the party.
6 player party (no empy slots): You get nada, you are full and good to go!
5 player party (1 empty slot): 10% [Max HP], [Max MP], [All Defense], [Healing], [Elite Damage] and [Boss Damage].
4 player party (2 empty slots): 20% [Max HP], [Max MP], [All Defense], [Healing], [Elite Damage] and [Boss Damage].
3 player party (3 empty slots): 30% [Max HP], [Max MP], [All Defense], [Healing], [Elite Damage] and [Boss Damage].
2 player party (4 empty slots): 40% [Max HP], [Max MP], [All Defense], [Healing], [Elite Damage] and [Boss Damage].
1 player party (5 empty slots): You get nothing here, your choice to solo, find a partner or party up with an alt and enjoy the 2 player party bonuses!
The buffs are applied to everyone in the party when you enter a dungeon and adjust if players leave or join the party.
It doesn't apply to raids, it's for party only. If you convert your party to a raid the buffs will be removed.
This new system is very beta and I might decide to remove it or change it without notice, so enjoy it whilst it's here
POWER RATING SYSTEM
Added Power Rating System for players and pets. The player rating is based on level, armor, weapon, accessories, costumes and cloak quality and level, equipment card quality and level, armor and accessory enhancements, wearing card quality and level, title, skills and skill ranks, and guild acquired skills that grant stat increases (Nero's Will etc.).
The pet rating is based on level, evolution stage, intensify totals, armor/accessory quality and level, equipment card quality and level, skills and skill ranks.
The player rating will be used to create more balanced battlefield teams in addition to the already implemented system to even out the classes this should create much more evenly matched teams. Currently you cannot see your rating but I will probably add a new ranking page on the website and ingame, ranking players and pets on their rating.

Ore veins, herbs and other material gatherables (gatherables that give crafting materials like Wildwood's Owl Egg, Pupa-Pupa Egg, Adventurer's Material Box etc.) now appear on the map and minimap when you wear the new item Gatherer's Hat. The hat is available to buy from the store for 100 Moolah.
Whilst wearing the Gatherer's Hat, initially gatherables will begin to appear on the map as you move around, and also when they respawn (even if you are not near to them). They will remain on the map until they are gathered or you move map.
On the minimap, gatherables will appear as small coloured dots so as not to clutter up the map - Ore will appear as red dots, Herbs as green dots and quest and other gatherables as yellow dots.
On the main map, gatherables will appear as larger icons, the same icon you see when actually gathering it. Hovering over the icon will display the name of the gatherable item.
SKILLS
Corrected the tooltip for Adventurer's Blue Wind Aegis skill - it grants All Damage Absorb, not Physical Absorb.
PK
Request: Healing or buffing a PK enabled player will now PK enable you with the same PK type (All vs All or Guild vs Guild) as the target.
BATTLEFIELD
The issue of not being able to interupt a player from picking up a flag or the Fire Pit's Resplendent Chest if they are using an MP Shield skill has been resolved.
COLOSSEUM
Request: Added a new daily quest for the Colosseum. The quest requires you to win 1 Colosseum battle and awards reputation with Master's Hall.
MONSTERS
Corrected immunities for Knight of Hearts in all Wonderland modes - he is now immune to slowing debuffs like other bosses.
Fixed texture clash between Port Plunder Pirates and some of the new pets.
PETS
Added the next batch of 6 cats and dogs to the store. Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Beagle, Burmilla, Scottish Fold and Balinese.

FRIENDS & COUPLES
Request: You are now notified in the chatbox and with a visual effect when you receive Relationship Points (RP) from a friend.
Resolved an issue with the Couple system that was preventing a couple from being automatically terminated when they went below 1,000 RP. Couples with less than 1,000 RP have been given an additional 140 RP which will give them 7 more days (from now) to increase RP with their partner to prevent the couple being terminated.
A new warning message has been added when you login, notifying you if the RP with your partner is getting low.
ITEM DROPS
Party Drop Rate Bonus
Monster item drop rate calculation whilst in a party is now using the Drop Rate Bonus (Item Luck) of the party member with the highest Drop Rate Bonus (from titles/consumables etc.) instead of the party leader's bonus. So if a player joins the party and has the Lover's Title activated and has used a 10% Drop potion the party will receive 20% bonus to drops.
Drop rates of materials, recipes and armor from Port Plunder monsters have been increased.
Excavater Epic weapon drop rate increased slightly.
Excavater and Monoxia's Artisan recipe drops have been split up so they can drop a 360 and 375-400 recipe, not just one or the other.
Increased the drop rate of materials from the Cacti in Sandstorm Desert.
TITLES
Added 2 new butterfly wing titles to the store, Pink Monarch and Blue Monarch.

Undead Protein Shake tooltip corrected.
