Player guide
Thai EP12.1 changes Morroc and adds battlegrounds, with Moscovia in the same reported release bundle.
What to explore in this stage
- Explore the changed Morroc storyline and the released battleground modes.
- Read the new travel and reward information before returning to familiar locations.
Before the local update
- Map replacement can affect saved positions. The local rollout must publish relocation and warp handling.
These activities describe the intended stage. Exact local requirements and availability must be confirmed in the released build before this draft becomes a player announcement.
Developer guide
Implementation work
- Replace Morroc maps, collision, NPCs, spawns and quest state as one reviewed world change.
- Recover battleground team rules, rewards and card additions.
- Release the linked Moscovia stage in the same historical bundle; defer Memorial Dungeons to 12.2.
Character and world migration
- Checkpoint characters on replaced maps, save points and warp memos; define safe relocation and quest migration.
Acceptance checks
- No saved character appears in invalid map geometry.
- Battleground entry, team assignment and reward settlement match qualified rules.
- Moscovia opens with the bundle while 12.2 instances remain gated.
Affected areas: world, client, migration, pvp, monsters, items.
Use the mechanics history for candidate rules and developer reference for pinned comparison files. The release checklist defines the future evidence, migration and runtime gates.
Unresolved before qualification
- Old world replacement.
- Full monster drop delta.
- Battleground rules and rewards.
- Per server completion.
Shared release bundle: Moscovia regional addition. Keep these chapters in one reviewed local rollout.
