Project Sunshine

Highlights


Rebalanced spawn rates/ spawn points

We have enhanced and adjusted the monster spawn rate for players, ensuring a more engaging gameplay experience. Additionally, we've addressed fixed spawn points, such as Salamanders in Thors 3, to prevent them from becoming the main point of the game.

Rebalanced MVP drops/ rewards

On our server, we believe in creating an experience where the pursuit of MVPs is truly rewarding.
We've taken a different approach by re-evaluating the value of beating MVPs. Historically, we've found that the rewards often don't match the effort. As a result, we've made some significant changes to improve gameplay. We've increased EXP rates and carefully adjusted drop rates. We've also introduced MVP Coins, a unique currency that players can use to purchase exclusive costume headgears and other things from a special NPC. To further incentivise MVP hunting, we've increased the chance of
arning MVP Cards to 0.02 %. To maintain a challenging environment, we've also increased
the difficulty by increasing the HP of select MVPs by 25 %, 50 %, or even 100 %.
Additionally, in our quest to create a more balanced and engaging gameplay experience, we've made a conscious decision
to replace certain items with their enhanced versions, rather than relying on custom items or random stats on equipment.

Here are two examples:

Eddga
  • Katar of Raging Blaze → Katar of Raging Blaze [3]

Golden Thief Bug
  • Golden Gear → Golden Gear [1]
  • Golden Mace → Golden Mace [1]
For further information, you can check out the database or use the @mi command ingame.

This decision was driven by our observation that some existing items had significant potential, but were
underutilised or undervalued. We found this underutilisation unfortunate and sought to rectify
it by introducing improved versions of these items. It's important to note that these changes, the impact and
functionality of these items have been carefully considered. Should any of these changes cause imbalances in the game, rest assured that
we are committed to making the necessary adjustments. Player experience and balance will always be at
the forefront of our decisions. Join us in exploring these item improvements as we strive to create a more balanced game.



Announcement System

On Project Sunshine we've implemented two announcement systems to enhance transparency for the players. The first is a notification system that keeps players informed about the defeat of MVPs and certain minibosses. The second feature alerts the server whenever items at 0.05% chance drop.




Skill Balancing / Changes

Our approach to skill balancing has been to make minimal changes, but we have found it necessary to allow certain classes to benefit from adjustments that are common across many servers.

Choose your Hometown

We value flexibility for players and guilds, so we've made sure that all cities can serve as "hometowns". We've strategically placed a Kafra and a Tool Dealer in the center of each town to make it more convenient for players and guilds.




Anti-cheese - Bug exploits 'fixed'

We have invested significant effort in addressing and resolving bugs and exploits, ensuring that there are no opportunities for players to exploit or cheese certain aspects of the game on our server.
Examples like removing Mi Gao's Metamorphosis skill, preventing Reflect Shield/Reject Sword abuse
against High Tier MVPs, removing Gospel effect stacking through relogging, using Asura Strike on MVPs near warpportals, among other potential exploits. Our commitment to addressing these issues has priority, as the abuse of such elements often leads to server imbalances, with a small number of players players accumulating huge amounts of resources before these bugs are fixed, leading to subsequent server crashes.

Costume Headgears, Stylist service and 3rd Job sprites

On our server, we aim to give every player the opportunity to visually customise their character. This includes costume headgears that can be purchased in the cash shop, the MVP Coin shop, or through quests. Players will also be able to choose their own colours by purchasing a stylist ticket from the Fashion NPC. Those with a rebirth character of at least level 80 can use the 3rd class or even the JRO sprites for additional customisation options.




Other mentionable things

We have introduced a Deadbranch-Room where players can utilize their Dead Branches in a privately rentable space, so that beginner areas are not flooded with overpowered monsters.
Additionally, a vending area has been implemented to prevent the streets of cities from becoming cluttered, providing players with a clearer view of items offered by others and maintaining a more organized environment. This initiative aims to enhance the gaming experience by promoting a cleaner and more user-friendly atmosphere within the game world.




Very experienced and professional staff

We are an experienced and professional team with two decades of experience in playing the game. We have actively played on various private and official servers. It is important to note that our Staff will not engage in playing their own characters, never! Instead, they exclusively operate as GMs and Admins, dedicated to ensuring a fair and enjoyable gaming environment for all players. Our extensive background in both private and official server gameplay positions us to provide a well-rounded and knowledgeable approach to server management.
