Hello CEOs,\
We will be conducting a scheduled maintenance and update on **Sunday, June 15th from 23:50 to 03:00 (UST)**.

To provide deeper strategic options beyond department and hero upgrades, the **Research System** has been newly introduced.

📍 **Location:** Available under the **Research Tab** in the **R\&D Team**

📊 **Structure**\
Research trees are organized by five core stats: Revenue/Cost/Investment /Promotion /Legal\
Each category includes a **Basic Research Tree** and a **Special Research Tree** (marked in yellow).

🎯 **Effects**\
In addition to base stat increases, various buffs are applied, such as:

* Increased revenue
* Shorter Research durations
* Tax reduction
* Trading bonuses, and more

💰 **Progression**\
*Example: Research level-up screens*

* Each research can reach up to **Lv.10**.

> To address this, we have partially revised the matching logic and introduced a **10-second cooldown per stock order** to improve trading stability.

📊 **Cooldown applies when placing orders for the same stock in the same direction (position)**

* (ex1) After placing a **buy** order for 100 shares of “3hgames”, you **cannot** immediately place another **buy** order for the same stock (cooldown applies).
* (ex2) After placing a **buy** order for “3hgames”, you **can** immediately place a **sell** order (opposite direction).
* (ex3) After buying “3hgames”, you **can** immediately place a **buy** order for “Apple” (different stock).

💎 **Maintenance Compensation**: Diamonds ×100

Further details and additional updates will be announced in tomorrow's detailed maintenance notice.\

#### \[Dividend Pledge System]

> The long-requested shareholder return system — the Dividend Pledge — will be added.
>
> It’s a system where CEOs can pledge weekly dividends, and shareholders are paid only if the pledged target price is achieved. We hope this creates more dynamic shareholder communication and return policies.
>
> While there are no restrictions on target prices or dividend amounts, measures have been taken to prevent abuse. Pledges cannot be deleted and can only be increased once made.
>
> We look forward to seeing companies demonstrate both freedom and responsibility.
>
> Dividend Pledge will be available through the Investment Department. Listed company CEOs can set a weekly target stock price and dividend amount, and if the target price is reached, the dividend will be distributed to shareholders.

* Once the target price is set, it cannot be changed until the pledge is completed (resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC+0)
* Dividend currencies: Gold / Diamonds / M-Coins
  * Dividends are distributed proportionally based on shareholding (rounded down)
  * Once set, pledges cannot be deleted; only additional funds can be added
  * If the target price is not met, dividends are fully refunded (0% fee)
  * Only Diamonds and M-Coins can be pledged during Week 4 of each season
* The target price will be displayed on the stock graph screen

***

#### \[Company Info Screen Update]

The company info screen will now display:

* Target Price
* Dividend values (Gold / Diamonds / M-Coins)

***

#### \[Chat System]

* A Megaphone feature will be added to chat
  * Can be purchased with Diamonds
  * Megaphone messages will have emphasis&#x20;
  * The last megaphone message will be pinned at the top of the chat window
  * Minor chat bugs will also be fixed

***

#### \[Stock System Improvements]

> We sincerely appreciate all the feedback and suggestions regarding the stock system, one of the core features of the game.
>
> We are aware that users have been utilizing various trading strategies—such as the so-called “Pump and Dump” technique and coordinated trading—within the boundaries permitted by the system. While we understand and respect this creativity, we have determined that the current situation has begun to undermine the intended mechanics of the stock system and is contributing to excessive Gold inflation. As such, we have decided to implement a stock balance update.
>
> This update will improve the visibility of order volume across price brackets, making it easier to see how much supply is stacked up toward the upper and lower limits. At the same time, we’ve adjusted order book liquidity to make it more difficult to cause extreme price spikes through market orders.
>
> We understand there is still room for improvement, and we will continue to listen to your feedback and adjust accordingly.
>
> We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

### ⚔️ To File a Lawsuit

* Legal Team Level 20+
* At least 1 Litigation Ticket
* Min. investment: 1 million Gold

### ⚔️ Litigation Progress

* All litigation battles last for 2 hours.
* Each CEO can invest in only one side: either the Plaintiff (Attacking Team) or the Defendant (Defending Team).

### 📊 Litigation Battle Rules

* Investments made by CEOs are converted into points for their team using the following formula:
  * Invested Gold × Legal Stat of the representative company × weight factor
* The Legal Stat applied is not that of the participant, but of the representative company:
  * If you're on the attacking team: the company that filed the lawsuit
  * If you're on the defending team: the company being sued
* At the end of the litigation, the total points of both sides are compared. The team with the higher point total is declared the winner.

### 💰 Post-Litigation Rewards

* The winning team receives all invested Gold, distributed in proportion to each participant’s contribution.
* Rewards are based on the amount of Gold invested, not points.
* A Victory Fee is deducted from the reward.
  * The higher the Legal Stat of the receiving company, the lower the fee and the larger the final reward.

### 📦 Result Confirmation & Reward Collection

After litigation ends, the defendant company enters a cooldown period.

* No new lawsuits can be filed against the company during this cooldown period
* The company’s stock price will fluctuate based on the result of the litigation
* During the cooldown, rewards can be claimed from the News → Litigation Status tab
* If unclaimed, the rewards will be sent to the mailbox after the cooldown

### ⚠️ Important Notes

* During litigation, only the total number of participants and brief support messages are visible
* The actual points for both teams remain hidden
* CEOs must estimate the likely outcome based on the Legal Stat and number of participants for each team’s representative company
