The Sunset of LOK Universe and Arena-Z Network

I’m profoundly grateful to everyone who has stood by us through many years, and with a heavy heart, I formally announce the sunset of our journey for LOK Universe games and the Arena-Z Network.

Since we first introduced League of Kingdoms in July 2020, our team has dedicated nearly six years to building and nurturing this ecosystem. Even as the Web3 gaming landscape deteriorated sharply after our peak in 2022 and our deficits kept mounting, we remained steadfast in our belief in this ecosystem. Hoping to turn things around, we expanded into a broader platform and network to push beyond the limits of a single game.

However, these efforts did not yield the results we hoped for, and earlier this year, we began shifting our focus back to the games themselves. The delistings from exchanges, including Binance, further drove a sharp decline in token value. Combined with years of accumulated deficits, we reached a point where we no longer have the financial resources required to sustain our operations. It is with great regret that we must bring this journey to a close.

Throughout this entire period, we have never sold a single token for team profit, in order to preserve the integrity of our token ecosystem. Prior to a recent security breach, the Foundation held approximately 50% of the total token supply. The remaining holdings will be stored in the contract below and will not be used or liquidated under any circumstances.

Lockup Contracts:
Game Issuance: 0x4135f299888496663c1f238e7fa13a26bbc4cf02
Land Issuance: 0xb9d2f1d44782ab00031dd71e507c9923f73ffc0f
Ecosystem: 0x9018aa928763e75ad9023348bff60b8e17600915

Staking Re-lock: 0x9e64bc29e9d8b5b31ec9aa3b6fe778afc8051d71

We ll our services (LOK Universe games & Arena-Z) will close on May 31st, 2026.

For detailed information regarding the service termination procedures, please refer to the announcement below:

[The Sunset Procedures: medium]

We will cherish the moments we shared with every user, partner, and moderator throughout our six years of operation. To those who believed in us and stayed with us until the very end, I offer my deepest gratitude. I also sincerely apologize for falling short of the expectations you placed on us.

Sincerely,

Chan Lee and the LOK Universe & Arena-Z Team

[Updates]

Class Balancing Adjustment

We’ve been watching how classes performed throughout the first two seasons of Sanctum Conquest. With Season 3 launching this week, it felt like the right time to act on what we saw and what we heard from you.

We have been closely monitoring class performance and combat pacing since OBT. We found that damage output across all classes was disproportionately high relative to HP pools, causing fights to end too quickly and preventing each class from fulfilling its intended role.

The Warrior in particular struggled to hold the frontline as intended. We also found that the Rogue’s overall performance had pulled significantly ahead of other classes, creating a meaningful gap in both PvP and PvE.

PvP

• HP: 300% → 200%
• DEF: 0% → +20%
• DODGE: 0% → -20%
• All RES: 0% -> -20%

Monster

• All monsters: DEX/AGI -40%
  *In line with the damage rebalance, all monster stats have been adjusted to ensure the PvE experience remains as consistent as possible with the pre-update environment.

Class

Rogue

• ATK per 1 STR: 5 → 4
• ATK per 1 AGI: 3 → 2 / DODGE per 1 AGI: 0.2% → 0.15%

Mage

• Crit Rate per 1 INT: 0% → 0.05%

[LOKH]OBT Patch Notes — Mar 1, 2026 was originally published in LOK Universe on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Thank you for tuning in to the Roundtable!

On February 2nd, we hosted a Roundtable session with a special guest from Nod Games: Steve, the Head of Development for League of Kingdoms.

The roundtable was dedicated to provide transparent answers from the development team’s perspective regarding the New World Update and the bug fixes. Below is a summary of the key takeaways for those who were unable to join the live session.

1. Major Bug Fixes and Timeline

[Community Voices] Addressing inquiries from LoveVzlaIta, DAC, and JohnnyBlaze regarding the fix timeline and the possibility of a rollback.

• Why No Fixed Dates? We are currently utilizing a Milestone system to provide transparent progress updates. Rather than sharing uncertain or incorrect timelines, we prioritize keeping you informed with regular progress updates.
• Milestone 1 Completed: We’ve been prioritizing the critical issues that impact the core gameplay experience, such as, Battle Calculations errors and Random Teleport issues. Additionally, normalizing the DST/A2Z pledging and withdrawal was a top priority.
• Login Issues: Unintended power level spikes have prevented some users from logging into the game. We have raised the system limits as a temporary measure and are currently working on a permanent fix.
• Rollback possibility?: A full rollback is technically unfeasible due to the massive scale of data migration involved in the New World Update.

2. New World Update: Significance and Possibilities

LOK is a five-year-old game, and we faced several technical hurdles due to the inherent limits of our original server structure. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the game, a foundational structural update was essential.

Consequently, the New World Update was designed as a comprehensive infrastructure overhaul, requiring us to re-engineer nearly all server code and databases from the ground up.

Here are a few things that the New World Update has made possible:

• Lighter Infrastructure: We have achieved significant optimization across both server and database loads, creating a much leaner environment.
• Structural Bug Resolution: The new architecture has allowed us to address deep-seated bugs, including:

Quest Claim Duplication: Resolved a persistent bug that caused “duplicate request” error messages during quest claims.

Combat Notifications: We identified the cause of errors where combat notifications failed to trigger properly; a permanent fix is scheduled for deployment.

Stuck March Queues: Through this update, we have discovered a breakthrough method to drastically improve and resolve this behavior.

• New Potential: This update has unlocked several features that were technically impossible under our original server architecture.
• An example is the Zone-level control. Previously, resource and monster spawns could only be managed at the World-level, but the update made it possible to control them at the Zone-level possible.
  It’s currently at the testing level, but we look forward to adding new contents or events based on such new features.

3. Milestone 2: Upcoming Fixes

[Community Voices] Responding to LoveVzlaIta and MrOzEk regarding compensation details and missing Drago assets.

We are already working on the next set of critical issues:

• NFT & Drago Issues: We are addressing cases where Dragos are missing from lairs or disappearing, alongside fixing issues with other NFTs including Skin NFTs.
• Additional Compensation: A second round of compensation, similar in scale to the first, is being prepared for Milestone 2. Given the impact of recent teleportation issues, this package will include increased amount of Advanced TPs.
• Drago AP: For those unable to use Dragos for an extended period, we will provide DAP as compensation. DAP will be distributed over multiple days to ensure you can utilize them in time.

4. Priority: Stability

[Community Voices] Acknowledging the frustration expressed by users such as Salaar7 regarding the pace and volume of bugs.

• Why so many bugs? Why is it taking so long? We understand your frustration. These issues unexpectedly surfaced from legacy code accumulated over the past five years. Resolving them requires a deep dive into historical development contexts to ensure we don’t create further conflicts, which is why the process has been time-consuming.
• Monster stats changed?: We want to clarify that no intentional balance changes were made during this process. Our goal is to recreate the exact environment from the pre-update state. The monster battle issue was due to treasures not calculating as intended, and is now fixed.
• Stability First: : Our priority is restoring game stability to match its pre-update state.
  
  We promise not to rush the release of new contents until complete gameplay stability is achieved.

5. News on Arena-Z

[Community Voices] Addressing JohnnyBlaze regarding the long-term vision for the Arena-Z chain.

• Invisible Infrastructure: We are implementing solutions like invisible wallets and gas abstraction to ensure blockchain technology enhances, rather than interrupts, the player experience.
• Expanding A2Z: The A2Z token is evolving from a single-game currency into the universal fuel for our entire multi-game platform. Every strategic step — including our recent Binance Pay listing and buyback initiatives — is designed to fortify this foundation.
• Arena-Z will have an announcement regarding its roadmap in the coming weeks.

6. Future Roadmap

[Community Voices] Inspired by the community’s desire for growth, including comments from Spartoi Lv.3 regarding the path to Level 40 and beyond.

Once stability is fully secured, we will shift our focus toward growth and expansion:

• 8-Continent CVC: We have been considering a new1v1 CVC, but we have heard the community’s preference for the old format. If desired, we are fully open to launching 8-continent CVC instead.
• New User Support: We will introduce boosting packages and specialized quests to help new players bridge the gap quickly and seamlessly join the core gameplay loop.
• Max Level Increase: While new players catch up, we will add a new growth content centered around a new resource for our current userbase. This update will also incorporate highly requested features, such as increased alliance member capacity.
• DSA/VIP Renewal: We are planning a rework of the DSA VIP system and considering a DSA Burning Mechanism based on user feedback to improve the ecosystem.

We Want Your Feedback: After the server reaches a stable state, we will open a community vote for the following:

1. 8-Continent CVC vs. 1v1 CVC?
2. Prioritize CVC first vs. the Level 40 Update first?
3. Thoughts on the DSA VIP renewal and the Burning Mechanism?

7. Miscellaneous Questions:

• Development Teams: [Addressing Satoshiorz] LOK and LOKC are managed by separate, dedicated teams within the same studio. LOKH is developed by an external entity partnered with Arena-Z, sharing the same IP.
• Bot Countermeasures: [Addressing LoveVzlaIta] While we temporarily slowed down ban waves to prioritize server stability during the update, we have already identified an extensive list of bot accounts. Mass bans will resume immediately as the environment stabilizes.

Closing Remarks

We will close this article with a closing message from Steve:

“LOK is a world we have built together with our players over the past five years. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has enjoyed and supported the game. As developers, we will redouble our efforts to resolve stability issues as our absolute priority. Once a stable environment is fully secured, we will then move forward with the exciting updates we have been preparing.”

[LOKC] Sanctum Conquest: The Second Season was originally published in LOK Universe on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hello Hunters!

Every season in LOK Hunters, rewards matter. Not just how much is in the pool, but why it’s that size, and whether players feel the system is fair.

Starting this season, we’re introducing a new Seasonal Reward Pool model designed to be: ✅Easy to understand, ✅Community-driven, and ✅Sustainable.

Here’s how it works and why we’re making this change.

Why We’re Updating the Reward Pool

Traditional systems often have a few issues:

• Pools are fixed
• Growth feels disconnected from gameplay
• Rewards feels tied to spending rather than participation

We wanted a predictable & transparent model that:

• Grows with player activity
• Rewards the community collectively
• Keeps seasons healthy and repeatable

That led us to a base + dynamic reward structure.

The New Seasonal Reward Pool Structure

Each season’s reward pool now has two parts.

1️⃣ Fixed Base Pool (Guaranteed)

💰 250,000 $A2Z per season

• Fully funded & announced upfront
• Always available, no conditions
• <Fixed Base> may increase in the future

This ensures every season starts with meaningful rewards, no matter what.

2️⃣ Dynamic Add-On Pool (Activity-Based)

On top of the base pool, additional A2Z rewards are added only when players actively extract Diamonds through gameplay.

We intentionally kept this part simple to only one rule:

💰 For every 1,000,000 Diamonds extracted to $HT,
50,000 $A2Z is added to the seasonal reward pool

This means:

• No artificial inflation
• Pool grows with player activity
• A more active season naturally leads to higher rewards

That’s all. No tiers. No hidden multipliers. No mid-season changes.

Why This Feels Fair

✅ Rewards Scale With the Community

The reward pool grows based on collective activity, not on who spends the most. If the season is lively, competitive, and engaging, everyone benefits.

✅ Not Tied to Individual Purchases

This system is not a “pay more, earn more” model. Diamonds can be earned in multiple ways through gameplay, and the reward pool responds to overall extraction, not individual behavior.

✅ Transparent & Predictable

Players can always see:

• How many Diamonds have been extracted
• When reward pool increases are triggered
• How the season is progressing

No surprises. No guesswork.

What This Means for You

• Every season starts with guaranteed A2Z rewards
• Active seasons naturally unlock additional rewards
• Your gameplay contributes to the whole community
• The rules stay simple, visible, and consistent

This is a reward system 💎built with players💎, not just for players.
We’re excited to see how this season grows — together!

Shrines

Forest area, 7 x D Shrines (5,000 A2Z for each Shrine)

Important Guide:

1) Conquer up to 3 Shrines (new)

• Old: A guild can sign up for 1 Shrine → the guild members join a single roster.
• New: A guild can sign up for 3 Shrines
  → guild members must join the roster for each of the three Shrines
  → the guild leader must set up the roster for each Shrine.

The Shrines your guild is fighting will be marked with the crossed sword icon.

Each Shrine will have its own roster, even within the same guild. Guild members must join the roster for each Shrine, and guild leaders must set up each roster separately.

Remember, guild leaders can change the roster between rounds after the tournament has started. Consider adjusting your setup to counter the opponent’s roster in the next round.

2) A2Z Distribution Guide

When you conquer a Shrine and become the Champion, your guild will be awarded A2Z! The guild leader has the authority to distribute the A2Z rewards to guild members.

From the Shrine Map screen, you can check both the A2Z your guild owns and the A2Z you, as a member, have received.

There seem to be several guilds that have not yet distributed A2Z to their members. We hope this article helps you understand how to do so.

*Please note that the A2Z distribution & claim UI is only accessible on the web version.
