All players will receive 1 decorative mums flower per character per day via in-game mail. Right click on the decorative mum to dedicate it to our fallen heroes. Help us reach the goal of 65,000 dedicated decorative mum flowers in a show of solidarity and gratitude.

It's the patch you've been waiting for, Justin(Shikage).
Can't wait, we'll be able to get our highest level skills available finally, and hopefully some new armor sets and the like.
