I have been unable to log into my account for over 1 hour now. Typically when I encounter this issue it solves itself in less than 10 minutes. I was hunting mobs and lagging pretty badly right before this and had disconnected and logged back on a handful of times. After the last disconnection I decided to fix my wifi card and adjust the antennas on the back of my PC. This was over 1 hour ago. Is there anything that I can do about this? Will it fix itself, or should someone on staff fix it? Thanks

The root cause of this "issue" of people buying zhelms at low levels, however rarely this occurs, is that normal job hats suck. A different approach: istead of nerfing access to zhelm and similar gear, decrease the incentive to go out and get one by buffing the "normal" gear. This way we change the dialogue from "all other hats suck so I'll just buy a zhelm as early as I can so I don't need to worry about hats anymore" to "my current job hat isn't that bad, so I'm in no rush to buy a zhelm." This would (1) help those who can't afford a zhelm early and (2) bridge the stat gap between those who can and cannot afford a zhelm early.

Not sure how open this server is to something like a custom etc exchange but it sounds like a fun and useful addition. If a low level Victoria exchange existed it could be useful for noobs who need a foot in the market bc I can see that affording anything in the market is kinda tough for them; they could sell etc or do exchange on their own. Custom etc exchange for higher level training maps that are now "dead" like deep ludi could also promote training there, considering that Leafre mobs have the upper hand regarding drops and exp, and even hp and mob defense.
