We're hard at work on an upcoming big update called "Sky War," and we hope to have it completed as soon as possible so everyone can see the results of our time there. I looked at the calendar some time ago and found that several weeks have passed since the Frost Festival update. We don’t want everyone to have to wait for the launch of new content before the Battle of Heaven. Fortunately, the calendar gods have brought another holiday just in time: Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!

People born in the Year of the Dragon are usually generous, wealthy, and very lucky. He must be a nice person. For those who don’t have the superpower of giving gifts given by the dragon, we have launched the red envelope-themed “Gift of the Golden Dragon”, which will be available from now until March 7. The usage of the gift is exactly like the name: the treasure can only be opened by the recipient after it has been given.

If you don't want to wait for others to give generously, we also have the traditional collection "Golden Dragon Treasure". Each collection or gift contains one of 17 Year of the Dragon-themed jewelry sets, and there is an additional chance of receiving a "Golden Dragon Gift" or new unique special effects.

Finally, each treasure (and gift) has a chance to unlock the "Legacy Dragon King", which is the first accessory created for the ruins and has two unique forms: Radiant and Dire. Now I finally have the opportunity to decorate the ruins with the mysterious dragon, just like I always wanted. In addition, as long as anyone in the game owns this accessory, everyone can see it.

In keeping with this theme of "dedication," we also have another gift for (almost) everyone: we're rolling out some new cheat detection code. Well, we actually launched it a few weeks ago, and we've accumulated quite a bit of cheating players over that time. As waves of bans roll out automatically, you may see even fewer of them in later games.

As usual, this update also contains a lot of bug fixes and feature optimizations:
