A small KMST patch was released today, it just has some skill changes for the new job Kain. I think they released it a little early because of the holidays, but since Kain comes out on January 7 and they still haven’t added any tutorial/story/skill sound effects, there will probably be one more test server patch next week. Anyways, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!
