New Premium Pass System [english]

2 years ago
Hello,

Over the past few months, we have analyzed the market situation and players' purchasing behavior. With the Shop Decoration Package, we have provided you with a way to save on taxes when purchasing items, as well as offering visual customization options for your shop. However, the concept did not perform as expected. Neither the sales figures for the Shop Decoration nor the benefits derived from it were satisfactory. Therefore, we have decided to remove the Shop Decoration Package and introduce a Premium Pass to the game, which will replace and enhance the decoration package.



What feature do players lose without the Premium Pass?


Players who have not activated the Premium Pass will lose the ability to purchase items from the shop search while on the go. This is because the cities always appear relatively empty since there is no reason to be there. However, this does not create a good impression for new players, so we had to take this step, even though we are not happy about it.

Nevertheless, the shop search still functions for players without the Premium Pass. To the right of the item you wish to purchase, you will find a house icon. By clicking on it, you will be teleported to the shop's location and can buy the item.


What are the advantages of having the Premium Pass?


- You have access to the Auto Chat feature.

You can set your last chat message to be automatically sent repeatedly.



- No taxes will be levied on you.

You will not pay taxes when buying items from offline shops or when selling your items to an NPC.



- You can give your offline shop a unique design.

Several models of sales tables and new banners for your shop name are available.



- You can purchase items from the shop search from anywhere.

You no longer need to teleport to the respective shop to buy an item.


- Your offline shop will have an initial duration of 2 days.

After opening, your shop will have a duration of 2 days. Players without the Premium Pass start with a duration of 12 hours.


- Shop recharges yield a 100% increase.

Time recharges for your shop now yield double the amount compared to normal.


- Increased range of the Bravery Cape.

Bravery Cape have a range three times higher than usual.




What benefits does the server gain from this?


Primarily, with the change to the shop search, the cities will become more full and more lively, which may convince new players to continue playing on the server. Additionally, we can offer our players a bit more luxury, benefiting everyone involved.

DevBlog #10

2 years ago



Welcome to the 10th DevBlog from Shiva. Shiva is currently facing a minor summer slump, which is no secret. However, we will make good use of this slump and release several patches to refresh and improve old systems.

But for now, let's talk about what's coming up next.

1. Elite Boss Balancing

After 9 months of server runtime and extensive development of the concept, it's time to tackle the Elite Boss system. We have individually adjusted all classes, truly molding the Elite Bosses back into their pure elite form, and have also worked on the drops.


2. Wiki Expansion

We strive to regularly produce new entries for the in-game wiki. This is not always easy, as it requires a significant effort.


3. Fishing System

After much consideration and community feedback, we have decided to fundamentally overhaul the Fishing System. Shiva always stands for meticulously thought-out systems and concepts down to the smallest detail, and the Fishing System no longer meets our standards. Get ready for a fantastic fresh fishing experience :)


4. Content Update 1.0

As an Oldschool server, Shiva has lasted a remarkable 9 months without a content update, and we are proud of that. However, it is now becoming necessary to release our first major content update. Therefore, we are currently working diligently and with tremendous creative energy on Content Update 1.0.
Further information about what to expect in Content Update 1.0 will be addressed in a separate DevBlog.


Your Shiva Team
