Developer Comments: To better support upcoming DLC products while still supporting customer rights to refunds, we will no longer be able to support cross-platform logins in the near future. For users that linked their account across multiple platforms, you will be asked to select one platform as your main platform upon login in an upcoming update. Once a main platform is selected, all account data will be bound only to that specific platform and switching across platforms will no longer be possible. To honor our commitment to loyal Blacksmith supporters who purchased the game before it became available on a mainstream platform, we will ensure that those players will still have the chance to switch their account to a mainstream platform if they choose to do so. Players who purchased the Dark and Darker Standard / Founders: Hold the Line Edition on our Blacksmith platform before 9:00 PM UTC on June 7, 2024 (the day we launched the free-to-play version on the Epic Games Store and Steam) and have still not moved over to another platform will have a one-time opportunity to switch their account to the Epic Game Store or Steam platform of their choice (further details will be announced later). We appreciate your understanding as we aim to fulfill our commitment to loyal customers and improve the overall shopping experience for our global audience. As for this update, we have introduced an MMR system for the Arena. Adventurers who participate in the Arena earn a matchmaking rating (MMR) based on the results of their matches. We will be testing the MMR system to improve the Arena matchmaking quality. We plan to augment this feature very soon with an Arena Ranking system. We have also made some minor changes to the Arena system with some improved QoL and the re-introduction of monsters. We thank you for your patience at it took us longer than expected to polish up this feature. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!
