Patch Notes/3.1.8

We will be taking Dislyte offline for a short time on January 17, 2023, 06:00-12:00 (UTC+0) to improve the game. This update will involve data migration, so it will take longer than usual. Lvl. 5+ players at the time of the update will receive Nexus Crystals via in-game mail afterward. If the opening of servers is delayed, 100 additional Nexus Crystals will be compensated per hour delayed.
Note: Servers may resume at an earlier or later time as necessary. Pay attention to the time, as you will be unable to sign in during this time.
