In an ongoing effort to maintain the integrity of Devikins, we’ve decided to remove the Items tab from the marketplace. This decision comes after identifying exploitative behaviors such as match-fixing, flooding the marketplace with items, and abnormal transfers, which are not typical of ordinary player activity.
The marketplace, specifically through the items, became one of the primary means for exploiters to drain resources from both players and the game. To address these issues, the sale of items has been removed from the marketplace.
We understand the potential impact this decision may have on the community, but it is a necessary step to preserve the health of the game’s ecosystem and ensure fair gameplay.
Timeline for Changes
This change is expected to take place by mid-next week. Players who currently have items listed in the marketplace will be able to withdraw them after the update.
Future Plans for Item Acquisition
While removing item sales from the marketplace was necessary, we are actively working on more organic ways for players to acquire items and continue progressing in the game. One of these methods includes updating the Wicked Well, improving its drop rates with commonly sold items from the marketplace.
Additionally, new items will be introduced at a fair price in the shop, giving players easy access to essential items. In the future, other game functionalities such as Void Adventures and Rituals will also offer ways to obtain valuable items, providing more balanced opportunities for all players to gather the resources they need.
We remain committed to creating a balanced and enjoyable experience for all Devikins players and will continue to make adjustments to protect the in-game economy from exploitative practices.
Stay tuned for upcoming updates!
