With patch version 1.0.7 we’ll add the remaining 2 raids – Ice World and Ruins of Nuowu – into the world of Shenzhou. This will mark the last addition of normal type raids into our game for the next couple of months - from now on, the difficulty will go up!
A maintenance announcement will be made separately for the server downtime details.
