Official Version 3 Release Announcement
Greetings, Adventurers,
We are excited to announce the imminent release of Arkadia V3. Before we proceed, we wish to address key details regarding this update, our journey thus far, and the road ahead.

Why V3?
The transition to Arkadia V3 became necessary due to unforeseen circumstances that led to the takedown of our previous version. Had this incident not occurred, we would still be operating on V2. Since its inception on August 18, 2022 (beta phase) and its official launch on January 7, 2023, Arkadia has evolved through triumphs and setbacks. Version 3 represents our commitment to resolving lingering issues from V1 and V2, refined over nearly three years of operation.

Critical Focus: Crash Fixes
The persistent crashes during map transitions and teleportation remain our top priority. These issues stem from the leaked version of the game, which had critical files intentionally altered or deleted. While V3 does not include an immediate fix for crashes at launch, we are overhauling the graphics engine without relying on the original source code. This rebuild will ensure long-term stability, with fixes rolling out progressively post-release. Rest assured, our development team is dedicated to resolving this.
Key Takeaway:
Crash solutions will be implemented during V3’s lifecycle, not at launch.
100% of promised V1/V2 features (excluding crashes) are now live.

Item Recovery Policy
Recovery Scope: Only items that were mentioned in our official forum post will be restored.
Priority: Mounts and costumes will be prioritized. Pet skins from V1/V2 will not be restored due to their origin in the Japanese version. These will be reworked and reintroduced in future updates.
Compensation: Players who made purchases during the V2 Christmas packages will receive refunds in W-Coins.

System Updates
