Three days have passed since Cultivation Online closed its servers for a system update. Although three days may seem short at a glance, one should consider how many people are addicted to the game. If an alcoholic drinks every day for the past year, it would be an incredible ordeal if they were suddenly forced to stop for three whole days.
Moreover, Cultivation Online wasn't just a mere game for many Players. It was their job—their livelihood.
By selling the money or treasures they had acquired to paying players, many players are able to live a comfortable life. Of course, this would only be possible in a game as popular as Cultivation Online, where countless passionate and wealthy players exist.
In fact, most— if not all Legacy Families have their own gold farming operations, where hundreds or thousands of players solely focus on earning money, whether it be through hunting magical beasts or seeking treasures.
