There is a long time since the last teaser, right? :)

After the update, players will be able to specialize their vocations, something such as a third vocation, as the diagram below.
But what benefits those "new vocations" will will bring? Below is a description of the advantages of each vocation.

Another DDoS attack
03/06/2009
From 14:12 hours of the last Sunday, the server that hosts Nightmare is receiving intense DDoS attacks, with an average of 100Mbps malicious inbound traffic and peaks of more than 200Mbps.
After detecting the attack, the server was placed under the protection of two layers of firewall Cisco Guard XT 5650, which has been very efficient, so that the server remains online even with such large attacks.
Because these two layers of protection, the latency between the players and the gameserver may experience a small increase, about 10ms.
This news has only informational character, all players can continue playing normally.
Kind regards,
Nightmare Team
Note about the DDoS attacks
02/05/2009
On May 1st the server that hosts the Nightmare suffered intermittent DDoS attacks, beigning completely inaccessible few minutes in the afternoon.
After stabilizing the attacks we launched an investigation to identify those involved on this event, then we got these characters: Derrubando O Server, Squash Slky, Wizzy, Butiquim Do Pastel, Soul Ember, Qip, Gamabunta, Cliff Burton, Anjo Kymerda, Ze Pistolo, Free Sioer, Chullo, Arcduque Sebaussius, Mumu, Rulando Nas Trep, Nuka Ae Trutaa, Da Um Pacote Truta, Terence Hill, Qop and Achla.
In this list isn't only those who actually did the attack, but also those who encouraged the attack in any way.
Unlike as is usual, in such events, which can be classified as a crime, we banned and removed the people involved, not just the characters, it means that even if these individuals create new characters they will be deleted again.
We regret the losses from these attacks.
Kind regards,
Nightmare Team
