Developers' Diaries - New Character. Prepairing to launch.

Good afternoon, stalkers! Today we want to talk about the changes that will be made in the game in preparation for the release of the New Server, as well as about some future updates of Stalker Online.

Let's start with what worries many of our players: from the question of Golden Coins. We want to reconfirm again that all the Golden Coins collected by you during the game will remain with you, no wipes or seizures will be held. Moreover, all the Golden Coins accumulated by your account on the MSK and SPb Servers can be freely used on the New Server.

In the future, we will gradually move away from the economy tied up in the Golden Items and place more emphasis on in-game monetary relations. Therefore, now in discussion there is a large-scale overhaul of the Gold assortment, and the introduction of a separate store that will simplify access to Gold goods for all players. In this connection we plan to introduce the Account Warehouse of the where items purchased in this store will be sent.

Again we will re-iterate, that the Account Warehouse will be used only for reception of the goods. It can not be used for other purposes.

One of the first steps in this direction will be the processing of the so-called "Golden Bases". Now, maintaining these bases will be completely focused on the in-game currency. Thus, more players will be able to participate in PvP between the factions, and this will help maintain a constant interest not only in battles, but also in the actions inside the game aimed at earning in-game currency. This will lead to the fact that Trade, Search for Artifacts and so beloved by part of our players Robbery, as well as other similar activities will have additional meaning.

Important: At the moment, we've set initial prices for maintaining these bases. In the future, they can be adjusted depending on demand.

In addition, we want to note that an important stage in the transition to an updated system of purchases will be the preparation of a payment server for the introduction of the New Character. Due to its processing, after the opening of the New Server, it will be technically impossible to exchange Golden Coins on all game servers (MSC, SPb, New). They will be tied to the Owner's account. This important change will help optimize the performance of the payment server and more accurately handle these transactions. In preparation for the release of the New Character, we will apply this change to all servers in the near future.

It is very important to emphasize that the introduction of the Warehouse Depot as well as the processing of the payment server, including, will also affect the security of the accounts and financial resources of the Stalkers. Now, in case of loss of control over your account, our specialists of the Support Service will find it easier to determine the moment of loss of funds and we will be able to process such requests more quickly. In addition, we are confident that the number of such cases will significantly decrease, as a result of these changes.

Of course, this is not all news that we want to share today. We continue to work not only on the mechanics of the New Character, but also on new maps. And so, today we want to present you some working screenshots of the map over which our team is working right now.

As we have repeatedly stressed, our small team is focused on work on the New Person, so not all of the other tasks are implemented quickly, but we try to keep you informed of all future changes, and the introduction of new locations is one of them!

As always, we look forward to your comments on this article in our Official Game Group, and remind that if you have any doubts or misunderstandings, you can write to us in the Community Messages!
