1. Added a number of Abyss mob spawns. 2. Fixed obelisks and a few teleport coords for the Abyss area. 3. Fixed looting rights assignment. 4. Take all items function fixed. 5. Added check to prevent skill usage on dead monsters. 6. Added missing run speed penalties to stealth skills. 7. Retail HP values added for Rangers, Sorcerers, Assassins and Gladiators (the other classes 8. are fine until we recalculate perfect formulas for all classes). 9. Fixed issue with aoes debuffing the caster and hitting the caster. 10. Fixed all missing Theobomos and Brusthonin teleports 11. Boost HP passives fixed. 12. Removed excess spawns for Aishi. 13. 132 Eltnen quests updated to fix missing finish npc ids (blame Erb not Toasty!). 14. After doing some checking, we were also able to fix a LOT of quests in areas on both sides (Elyos and Asmo) ranging from starter areas, and up into the higher level areas once we realized the glitch that was affecting all of the Eltnen quests was randomly affecting others as well. 15. Added many corrected Altgard drops. 16. Added many unseen server optimizations to reduce lag and improve gameplay.

1. Added in basic DP support. (Actual earned values are not calculated correctly, 40 DP will be awarded for every kill) 2. Fixed Max DP, it should be 4,000. 3. Improved jail system, full jail reasons and the ability to jail players for certain times. 4. Fixed missing power improvement on some heal skills. Level 2 heal should heal for more then level 1. 5. Fixed bug with Abyss shops.
During the DDoS, the current host for Kain, decided it was a risk for them to host the server. Since it was "Controversial" and it was being DDoS'd they had disabled the server.
They originally though we were using leaked official files, and after 2-3 hours of convincing them that we were not using any copyrighted files, they agreed to give us a backup. I have been awaiting this backup for 1-2 days now.
The server was hosted on RAID 1 drives with a 500GB backup drive (And off-site backups provided via the same host) so they have all recent backups.
I am not exactly sure if I will ever be receiving the backup. I have all the server files, that is not the problem, but the problem is the database.
If I can not get a recent backup, it would seem this will be the end of the line for Kain. Hopefully it will not come to this, as I will be calling the host company every few hours in-order to make sure I receive the backup.
