We hope everyone started the year well and wish you all a successful and happy 2018!
As you’re no doubt aware, at the end of last year we returned to the task of carrying out necessary server merges. A lot has happened in Metin2 over the past few years, and as a result a number of changes had to be made to accommodate alterations to the data structure.
Following our last successful server merge in France at the end of September, it became clear to us that a lot of fundamental improvements are necessary. The French servers were offline for roughly 2 days, which is unacceptable for us as much as it is for you the players.
As a result, we have asked Webzen to make a few core changes, which we expect will make it easier, quicker and less complicated for us to implement server merges in the future, avoiding unnecessarily long downtimes. We will continue planning and implementing server merges as soon as Webzen has made these somewhat complicated changes (sadly we don’t have a fixed date for this yet). Naturally we will keep you informed.
As the plan for 2018 isn’t finalised yet, we cannot reveal any specifics about upcoming contents at this time. But as soon as our plans are ready, we’ll come back to you with the news as soon as possible!

The festivities continue with our brand new Monster Bash event! The event starts on Wednesday 20.12.2017 15:00 CET and ends on Thursday 04.01.2018 15:00 CET.
Let those bells ring out when you beat the boss Baashido around the head in the Monster Bash Event! Amongst other rewards, you can earn powerful buffs or even a pet egg containing a Baby Baashido.
Here’s how it works:
• At the start of the event, the new opponents the Metin of Agony and the sheep boss Baashido will spawn on a random map. The location will be revealed in a server message.
• You’ll have to get your running boots on, because Baashido and the Metin stones will only stay in the same place for a short period of time. If the enemy isn’t defeated within the allotted time, they’ll disappear and reappear at another location on the same map.
• Once an enemy has been defeated, the next one will spawn. Speed is of the essence if you want to defeat as many of these enemies as possible before the end of the event.
• This event cycle will only take place on each map for a certain amount of time, after which the mob will disappear from the map entirely and reappear on another one.
• Important: Enemies are defeated upon taking a certain number of hits. The damage inflicted is irrelevant. Whoever lands the final blow emerges as the victor.
• The ferocious Baashido has one AoE attack and another with knockback, so be on your guard!
• The player who lands the killing blow on the enemy will receive one of nine buffs for 2 hours. It is possible to benefit from more than one buff at once. Should you receive the same buff a second time, its duration will be renewed.
• With a bit of good fortune, it’s also possible to get an egg which will hatch the exclusive event pet Baby Baashido. This pet can be further evolved by means of the pet system.

Your search is over. From 18/12/2017, discover the mysterious Babylonian Treasure in the shop and recover the unimaginable riches contained within – treasures such as the rare griffin pets Gryph and Nogai with their amazing bonuses, Ritual Stones, a Dragon Chest+ (Coloured), a mammoth mount, Weapon Skin Vouchers+ and more!
But unlocking its secrets will not be easy. The ultimate reward – a Sealed Adamantine Chest and key with its priceless contents – will only reveal itself once you have upgraded the Babylonian Treasure step by step to the highest level. The upgrade process isn’t completely risk-free, since there’s a chance the treasure will break, but you won’t go empty-handed whatever happens! Even if the upgrade fails, you’re still guaranteed the reward from the current level. If fortune smiles on you, you might even get another Sealed Adamantine Chest! -Keep in mind that using Dragon Coins in Babylonian Treasure will not give you Dragon Marks in return. -New accounts will not have the option to receive a free daily box in order to avoid possible abuse.
Important notice: Please open your Babylonian Treasures and Adamantine Chests before the end of the event on 04/01/2018, as we will then be removing all chests and keys from the game.
