📢 24 HOURS OF ASCARON GLOBAL SERVER BETA TEST — FIRST RESULTS!
The first day of open testing is complete — here are the first statistics, changes, and results.
Dear friends!
The first 24 hours since the launch of the Beta Test have passed, and we can already share the first results.
🔥 141 unique players have joined the server
👤 A total of 212 characters have been created
We are especially happy to see that players are paying attention not only to the new storyline, but also to how much the game itself has changed compared to the original version of Tales of Pirates.
✨ Features you have already experienced
💰 REAL MARKET — the in-game RMT marketplace;
👗 Wardrobe;
🎁 Gacha System;
🖥 updated interface and improved controls;
⚙️ advanced settings;
🌍 localization and built-in chat translator;
✨ and many other major and minor improvements.
❤️ Thank you to everyone who joined the Beta Test!
Throughout the first 24 hours, our team closely monitored the server, statistics, and your bug reports.
We have already processed a large number of reports and, most importantly, during the first day we found no critical issues that could stop the testing process.
This allows us to continue according to plan and move on to the second stage of the Beta Test.
🔥 DAY TWO — STAGE TWO HAS BEGUN!
Our next goal is to allow players to test progression, equipment, Life Skills, Fairies, mounts, and higher-level content much faster.
⚡️ Fairy and Mount growth rates have been increased to x1000
A special NPC near the fountain can now provide everything needed for accelerated testing:
• materials for Cooking and Manufacturing;
• a ready-made 100 GS equipment chest with forging;
• various gems;
• test resources;
• and much more.
You can now quickly prepare your character and move directly to testing mechanics, dungeons, and balance.
🛠 WHAT HAVE WE CHANGED DURING THE FIRST 24 HOURS?

4. The minimum requirement to enter Dark Swamp has been reduced to 30 GS.
🐞 Fixes
1. Fixed an issue where a character could begin moving automatically after logging in or teleporting.
2. Fixed the login window appearing again after entering an incorrect login/password or after a forced character disconnect.
