"Easy Anti-Cheat, War No-Wear & Assassin Balance"

Ether Online — Patch Notes

Easy Anti-Cheat

Ether Online now uses Easy Anti-Cheat by Epic Games to protect against bots and cheats.

• The launcher installs it automatically the first time you start the game after this update

• A short EAC screen appears each time the game starts — this is normal

• Opening EtherOnline.exe directly also starts the game through EAC

• It checks game files and running programs only while the game is open

• Bots and cheats are detected and recorded, and action is taken against those accounts

Disconnected by Easy Anti-Cheat without using any cheat or bot? Contact support and tell us what was running (overlays, recording or macro software).

Territorial War — No Gear Wear

Same as Capture the Flag:

• No durability loss from attacking, casting skills or dying

• No karma death penalties on battlegrounds (no dropped bag items, no broken gear)

Open-world PK zones, the Random PK Event and force-PK keep normal rules.

Meteor Skills Fix

Summon Meteor could be cast from any distance on screen, letting players attack from too far away to be seen.

• Summon Meteor, Meteor Summon, Comet Summon, Meteor Shock and Super Meteor Summon now have a cast range like Fireball and Ice Spear

• Target too far away and your character walks into range first

Thanks to Sovereign for reporting this.

Quest Fixes

• Selective Rewards — reward choices now appear at hand-in so you can pick one

• Fixed 200+ quest descriptions with missing or merged steps

• Sentima Baldr repeatables — target and item lines show again

• Hard / Master boss quests — descriptions rewritten

• Soul crystal quests — correct monsters and map shown

• Quest item icons in the per-map quest list now show

A step still reads wrong? Report the quest name.

Level Achievement Fix

Level achievements are now rechecked every login, so any you earned but never received unlock on your next login, with their reward. Still missing? Report your character name and the achievement.

Party Dungeon Fix

• Leaving or being kicked from a party inside its dungeon now sends you to town right away, with no Yes/No prompt

• This closes the trick that let more players into a dungeon than the party limit

Dungeon exits and the Escape button work as before.

Movable Player Frame

• Hold left-click on your character frame (portrait, HP/MP bars, buffs) and drag it anywhere

• Buffs move with it, and the position is saved per character

• FPS / Ping / Online stays put; normal clicks work as before; it can't go off screen

Supporter Packages — Account Bound

• Unopened Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond boxes can go in Shared Storage and your warehouse, including boxes you already have

• Open the box on the character who should get the items; the items stay bound to that character

• Still can't be traded, mailed, auctioned or put in guild storage

Assassin Balance (First Pass)

• Vital Thrust — ST cost 25 → 20 (incl. Pioh-upgraded version)

• Weapon of Darkness — duration 8s → 15s, cooldown 45s → 30s

Kamaitachi, Stealth and Flash Slash are still being looked at. Keep the feedback coming!

Titan's Stone

• Stack size and max held raised from 15 → 99, so the quest no longer stops at 15

• Crafting reads all your stacks, so recipes work as before

Warehouse stones count toward the 99, but the crafting NPC only uses stones in your bag.

New Mounts

Five more Pioh are rideable (F7 with the Pioh out): Frogel, Desert Pig, Mithril Struk, Iron-Fang Fighter Gnoll, Iron-Fang Conqueror. Rider sitting too high, low or off-center? Report which Pioh.

How to Update

Server changes are live after the restart. For everything else, fully close the game and relaunch through the launcher.
