[Live Server Maintenance: Wednesday, December 11, 2019]

I do not see or believe there will be giant scrolls as we had previous years. The higher pricing is due to the added items in gift boxes like god jewels etc. as Juji stated in another post as well. They also have increased rewards from ++ sticks and as Mixa just stated you get to choose what weapon you get which is worth a lot to big spenders. 

"The rewards on the Freya's/Snowman's Fortune Boxes were completely changed this year." from another post from Juji

[2 of 3 clients disconnect]

I've had no disconnects with 2-3 clients on all time. Only disconnect I get is weekly maintenance ??. I honestly don't even remember the last random dc I've had. I always close launcher after starting game and I don't use wtfast or battleping. Hope it helps ?
