An unexpected change in the Deep Desert territory flipped PvE areas to PvP, resulting in many players losing their bases and equipment. Funcom is now actively working to rectify these issues and will reimburse affected players through the in-game 'Claim Rewards' tab by the end of the week. The company is also addressing player concerns about the game’s endgame experience, focusing on improving both PvE and PvP activities, and eliminating cheating to enhance gameplay integrity.
