A3 India Status Update

[Gmstorm]

Hello, A3 India players!

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime you've experienced. We understand how much you enjoy the game, and we're truly sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Our team has been working tirelessly to get everything back on track, and we're grateful for your patience and continued support.

Our commitment to providing you with an authentic and enjoyable experience remains steadfast, and we appreciate your continued trust in helping keep the legacy of A3 alive.

Since our inception, we've worked diligently to ensure you have a continuous and immersive experience in A3 India. We’ve dedicated significant effort to bring you the full Episode 3, complete with all Clororence areas and the Thrymjgor Cave. We take immense pride in operating the longest-standing server in A3's history. As an official server, we are deeply committed to preserving the game’s originality and integrity by sourcing our server files exclusively from A3's official developers.

Unfortunately, with the official developer ceasing the development and support of the game, acquiring the necessary server files for launching Episode 4 has taken longer than anticipated. Over time, we've introduced several quality-of-life enhancements that are not included in the official files. The Episode 4 files we obtained do not incorporate these features, leading to delays as we work to integrate our custom changes into the official Episode 4 files.

The following custom features which we have developed are not included in the official Episode 4 files:
1. HD resolution support.
2. TAB overlay.
3. PVP shouts.
4. Monster HP bars.
5. Storage box previews.
6. Anti-aliasing and HD graphic support.
7. Bulk buy for Larcs.
8. ALT free mode.
9. Character inspect functionality.
10. Tower of Desire event.
11. Aura Power Play event.
12. Power levelling functionality.
13. Unique drop notifications.
14. Event notifications.
15. Boss notifications.
16. Alliance Resurgence Event.

The official developer has not provided the support required to integrate these custom features. We are currently working on porting these functionalities to the official files to ensure all features are fully operational. However, with our limited resources, we are asking for your help through auctions so that we can hire developers to assist with the porting process.

To help cover development costs, we will be conducting regular auctions and sharing progress updates of game development at regular intervals.

The upcoming Episode 4 (Weidete) will include the following updates:
1. Access to new maps - Click here for information.
2. Item Socketing - Add sockets to your armors/rings/necklaces and enhance them with socket options with 18 different options to choose from.
3. New skills for all characters.
4. New types of bosses, creeps, and monster skills.
5. Premium items - New Larcs and other items (Preview Available).
6. Character enhancements and unique kits.
7. All Episode 3 Special Quests (3-1 is already launched).

The servers will be up by the end of the day on September 4th, 2024, with a significant core update to the backend system and server files. This update will serve as the foundation for future enhancements. You may notice some Episode 4 features already in place, though they might not be fully functional yet. We plan to make these features fully operational according to the aforementioned schedule.

Thank you and kind regards,
A3 India Team.
