3. 📈 Update gap with global servers and synchronization outlook
· Currently, the Taiwan/Hong Kong servers receive minor updates roughly every 3.5 months, which is slightly faster than the global servers' approximately 4.5‑month update cycle.
· There are currently four minor version gaps, and even after the 7.3 update, a gap of about 15 months is expected to remain.
· Considering that the global servers space the 7.5 to 8.0 updates by about 6–9 months, full synchronization of the Taiwan/Hong Kong servers with the global servers is anticipated to occur after version 9.0.

4. ❓ QA Q&A: Job change tickets, server transfers, connection restrictions
· Job change tickets (jump tickets) have no short‑term sales plan given players' current main quest progress, but sales are expected to begin later this year.
· Server transfers are currently only possible to the 'Titan' server, and to balance population across servers, transfers to other servers will be released in a limited fashion later. Less populated servers are likely to be opened first.
· The division of major cities and the forced logout after 30 minutes of inactivity will be evaluated after monitoring server load in version 7.1, and a decision on cancellation will be made. Therefore, maintaining an online status is expected to be possible only after version 7.1.
