The reboot has now been complete and the game is back online
—
All three world sets will be taken offline in ten minutes time for a maximum of thirty minutes. This maintenance is to address the issues which have been affecting the Jupiter server.

This morning’s emergency maintnenece is complete.  Thank you for your understanding.

A bug in CABALs loggin module has been discovered and is responsible for a number of minor glitches in the past few days, including the war channel remaining open on Mars yesterday.

EST have acknowledged the source of the problem and are working now to provide updated code to remedy the situation. This will require emergency maintenence later today, which will naturally require the total closure of the game.

We are waiting for EST to confirm when this maintenence will be, and as soon as we know we will update this post. But we wanted to alert all gamers to the fact that the game will be closed down sometime today for up to an hour for this fix.

Server downtime: 16/01/2008 - 09.00 till 11.00

Short synopsis: This patch will include several key bug fixes, including a fix for the channel ‘exploit’ (whereby players could enter a channel despite it being full), Helper Quests and many of the causes of random disconnections. It will also mark the end of this years Christmas event, although players will still be able to open any remaining socks.

We are pleased to announce the latest patch update for
Cabal Online. With the introduction of many new features this should keep most players busy in the lands of Nevareth until the new year. So what goodies do we have in store for you?

New Features

Expansion of the game
We are pleased to announce the addition of twenty (20) brand new levels, increasing the cap to level 170. The race is now on for the first level 170… will it be you?

In order to achieve this new landmark we have introduced a brand new map, designed for players from level 140 and above. However we warn you – its not easy! Also a brand new item is available for players to find; Shadow Titanium Armour. Please refer to the attached images for a sneaky peak on how it looks.

Improved protection against cheats
Two new major advances have been made to help us in our battle against cheats;

1. Players will now be required to input numbers and letters to verify their human presence when logging into the game. At the login screen you will find a unqiue image displaying numbers and letters and you will be required to input the same numbers and letters into a box. If you wrongly put the details into the box a certain number of times your account will be locked. (Please refer to the attached image).
2. In addition to this we have added the well known gold selling sites to our list of banned words.
   I think you will agree that both of the above are welcome additions and will add extra protection against the cheats. Read the rest of this entry »
