One problem that heavier item shop users may sometimes encounter is that the single paged item shop storage available is sometimes not enough. Either the player can be buying too much for the small space to handle, older items can accumulate before their turn for usage comes around, or prizes from events can clutter up the little storage available.


Gameforge has introduced a solution to this dilemma in the form of a depot, a secondary storage area where prizes from wheel of fortune spins, tombolas or other events, items received via vouchers, or items received from staff may be stored. The storage time is unlimited, and duration items that would normally begin counting down their time (such as emotion masks) remain in time-limbo in the depot.

All players of Gameforge servers now have access to their own Depot, which can be found through a new button in either the online or in-game item malls.

Similar to the Advent Tombola than ran last December, Gameforge's Spring Tombola allows most players free entry with a guaranteed win. To prevent abuse there is only one caveat; the player must have completed the Orc Tooth biologist quest.

Players hoping for more prizes can buy up to 5 more tickets each day for 15 Dragon Marks each. Sometimes instead of material items, players receive tokens instead. Once a player accumulates three of these they are tallied up and can offer the following rewards:


The Tombola runs daily, starting tomorrow on Monday May 14th and continuing until May 29th. Good luck!

Just shy of 2 years ago, Metin2 SG began its player referral program. This program was rather simple; players had to send an email to let the staff know who they had referred, and those who referred players were rewarded with item mall points.


Today sees the introduction of a new referral system, this time automated. All players will now find a link in their manage account area. This link is unique to their account, and when followed by somebody who then goes on to sign up, will track the referral. With this new referral system, Metin2 SG has chosen to mimic Gameforge's referrer setup, in that as the new player reaches new landmarks, more rewards are provided. Currently there are only 3 rewards, for the new player reaching levels 30, 50 and 70. They are:

Metin2 SG's Labor Day event focuses on rewarding players for actual Labor, with special hats as prizes.


Though these hats have been available on other servers for the better part of a year, these will function differently on Metin2 SG. For starters they will last four times as long - for a whole month. And instead of giving a measly ~30HP boost, they provide 10% Strength against monsters.

To be in with a chance to win one of these head dresses, players must get to work either fishing, mining or metin slaying tomorrow, May 1st. A ranking of players will periodically be announced globally. The top 10 players of each category will find the reward in their item shop storage following the event. Good luck!

Maintaining the server's tradition, the Metin2 SG staff have been busy preparing and applying a couple of updates as of late, detailed below.


Firstly, multicolored quest scrolls will now appear to the player, colored depending on the type of quest. Events are represented by blue scrolls, with biologist quests being green. When certain scrolls are read, the quest dialogue sometimes also contains a banner of sorts.


Continuing the quest line, many quests are being rewritten to hopefully remove all traces of "Engrish" that creep into most translated games. Horse quests have also seen changes, with a doubling of the required amount of archers to be slain when it comes to snake, scorpion and demon archers.


The arrival has also come of a special design of the Devil's Catacomb boss, only much smaller and (arguably) somewhat cuter:


Presumably this is only for [GM]s to polymorph as. Perhaps Metin2 SG players can find themselves up against a number of miniature bosses in the future.

Finally come some changes in regards to guilds. It's often the case on longer-lived servers that the guild ranking list becomes stagnant, often topped by a guild that no longer exists or has done dormant. To help alleviate this, guilds which have not battled in over a week on Metin2 SG will begin to lose points. Thus dead guilds will slip down, making way for the new guilds. Guilds also receive more gold from upgrades, giving a larger incentive to make the significant investment that is guild buildings. Guilds that haven't seen their leader active in over a year also forfeit their status and land.

Gameforge is getting in on the May Day action this year, with a string of various events.

Starting tomorrow, April 28th, until May 1st, players will have the chance to drop certificates for Gameforge's upgradable Power Mounts. On each day the drops will be available for 4 hours. These 4 hours are specific to each Gameforge server, so check your particular server's announcements.

This Saturday Evening (Apr 28th) between 8PM and midnight, Event helpers will be supplying Roses and sweets. On the following Sunday, players may drop Moonlight boxes between 6PM and midnight. Then finally on Monday 31st, players will receive 50% Extra EXP between 12 noon and midnight. Have fun!

The Metin2 US staff and developers have been quite busy in regards to the Watery Cavern map as of late. The addition of the Water Dragon finally arrived in January, followed by epic armors a week later. Around this time, the EXP from mercenary enemies was also boosted significantly, along with the changing of the "Vs Devil" stat to work against them.

Then these changes were suddenly reverted very soon afterwards, causing a player backlash. Shortly after that, yet another downgrade was applied.


Things picked up again more recently with another reversion, this time to the "sweet spot". EXP rates from Watery Cavern are now once again higher. As the current higher EXP has remained, even after subsequent periods of server maintenance aimed at tackling DT disconnection issues, it looks like it may be here to stay. Coupled with an EXP event currently running on the server, the boom in players leveling up in Watery Cavern has caused the prices of Experience Rings to soar to many times their normal price. The ease at which Watery Cavern can be tackled now on Metin2 US has actually led some players to complain that it is too easy.


In worse news however, the long running National War event has disappeared from rotation. Normally ran on every 2nd Saturday of each month as shown above, it has been noticeably absent. It's also absent from the latest event calendars, where it would normally be represented by a yin-yang symbol:


No explanation has been given, players are beginning to notice its absence.

Metin2 SG is doing things a little different to the other publishers for its Easter events, focusing on the aspect of collecting eggs. The Easter bunny has still shown up on Metin2 SG, and can be found in the first town of the three nations.


Players can collect up to 20 different types of eggs for their easter basket. They can get this basket from the bunny, and level 1-40 players will also receive a special red egg that acts similar to a Metin compass. When used it will guide the player towards hidden eggs.


Easter metins are also making a show, with egg metins of levels from 40 to 90 appearing across a multitude of maps. When slain, these metins can drop multiple eggs. Players can "use" eggs to put them in their baskets; players need to put all 20 eggs to complete their collection. Duplicate eggs can be sold to the easter bunny for 100,000 gold a piece. A full basket can be exchanged for a valuable golden egg.

This even will run from April 6th-9th, and then again from the 13th-16th. Good luck!
