Update 24.2 – Invasion Overhaul

A brand-new Metin2 update is ready for release. Look forward to a fully revamped Sung Ma Invasion Portal, improvements to the Trading Glass, plus many other improvements in July 2024!

Revamped Sung Ma Invasion Portal

Set forth on your adventures and discover the changes to the Sung Ma Invasion Portal!

• Smaller combat areas: The maps are divided into smaller sections, with only one area being selected at random. The distance between portals has been greatly reduced. If you die while under the influence of a flower buff, you can now resurrect on the spot.
• More rewards: On top of the reward for completing a round, there’s an additional rewards chest unlocked upon completing four rounds in a week. Last hit rewards have been removed, instead everyone who participates in a successful boss fight will be rewarded.
• Difficulty change: The health of portals, monsters and bosses has been reduced. The enemy spawn points (in terms of amount and location) have also been adjusted to fit the new smaller combat areas.
• Important note: Please collect your current Sung Ma Invasion Portal rewards if you still have any completed quests. These may be lost if not collected before update 24.2 goes live.

Trading Glass Improvements

The following changes have been made to the Trading Glass:

• Sorting options: Items can now be sorted by ‘Total price’, ‘Unit price’, ‘Newest’ or ‘Amount’.
• ‘All’ category: Added a new category to make it easier to find the item you want.
• Price highlight: If an article costs at least 1 Won, the price is highlighted in blue.

Further Improvements

On top of all that, we’ve also implemented the following improvements:

• Item status: Hundreds of items have been modified so that they can be traded, stacked, dropped and stored.
• Potions: Dew now counts as a potion and can be used via quick slots/hot Keys.
• Meley’s Lair: When leaving Meley’s Lair, you now respawn next to Dragon Watcher Dolnarr in Doyyumhwan.

Automatic AFK/Logout A new option in the game menu allows you to automatically mark your character as AFK and log them out after a certain time. You have the following options:

• AFK Time: You can set the timer to automatically go AFK after 10, 30 or 90 minutes of inactivity.
• Logout Time: You can set the timer to automatically log out after 30, 60, 120, 180 minutes or never.
• You will not automatically go AFK/be logged out if you are using a private shop or Auto-Hunting.
• AFK Status: The AFK status is displayed next to your character name if you are inactive for a longer period of time. More functionality relating to this feature is planned for later in the year.

Further Changes

• New quests: Added quests for levels 99 to 105 relating to Nemere’s Watchtower.
• Helmet appearance: It is now possible to transfer the appearance of costume helmets onto other costume helmets.
• Error messages: The functionality of error messages which appear during server selection for certain servers (e.g. RUBY, EMERALD) has changed. In future, these errors will be made server-specific to better explain why a server is currently unavailable.

Patch Size

Please note that as a result of technical changes, this patch will be around 2.5 GB. We will endeavour to make the patch available as soon as possible during the maintenance period to give you more time to download it. The maintenance may therefore take longer than usual.
