The application receives a string from the client, displays the string on the console, and then echoes the string back to the client.
The server is built with an asynchronous socket, so execution of the server application is not suspended while it waits for a connection from a client. As such, we cannot rule out the possibility of these items washing up on our shore sometime in the future.The following example program creates a server that receives connection requests from clients. Contrary to the event boxes, the identifiers of the sunglasses do not contain a country-specific suffix. That does not necessarily mean that the sunglasses will not be released in our version. Should the ‘Summer Fun Event’ be coming over to us as well, we are likely not going to be receiving the same event box as the PH or TH versions. However, their grand prize is a statted ‘Frog Set’ instead of the ‘Summer Sunglasses’. There, the ‘Summer Box 2020’ also received its own suffix for Thailand (TH). The same phenomenon can be observed within the Thai version. Or, put more directly: it was designed specifically for the Filipino version. The suffix _PH_2020 signals an affiliation with the Filipino version. We took a look at the entry for their ‘ Summer Box 2020′ inside the FlyFF client. The question at hand, of course, is whether this event will be coming to our version as well and whether it will be exactly the same as PlayPark’s. Over at PlayPark, these sunglasses are part of their ‘Summer Fun Event’. But, based on some indicators, we are able to speculate a bit. We are not able to peek into Gala Lab’s heads, after all. We cannot answer this question for certain, of course. Will these sunglasses be coming to us as well? This makes for a perfect segway to our cardinal question. However, we should keep in mind that we have a completely different meta gameplay that the FlyFF players in Asia do. We did not concern ourselves too much with them. How far the effects actually make sense for the individual jobs is something we will leave untouched. The new ‘Summer Sunglasses’ in detail Icon Up until now, it has never happened that masks were locked to certain classes. Every 2nd job receives their own variant only wearable by that specific job. One detail of these new sunglasses is particularly interesting, however: they are job-specific. PlayPark FlyFF has got new statted sunglasses, so what?Īre new sunglasses really worth a mention? Not necessarily. Besides power-ups and fashion sets, these boxes contain new statted masks in the form of sunglasses. Within their current ‘Summer Fun Event’, players can trade in farmable quest items for the usual box containing a plethora of items, but granting only one of those at random when opened. Normally, one would think that news of this kind should not be particularly newsworthy. Today, we delve into such an interesting happening. But we ended up limiting our articles on the South East Asian FlyFF version to primarily focus on happenings and developments we thought interesting.
After a while, all of it lost its charm for us and we ended up talking about such newly added items less and less.īe that as it may, we never stopped casting sidelong glances at PlayPark FlyFF. In most cases, said items turned out to be recoloured fashion sets, pets, or flying mounts. The Filipino FlyFF version – by publisher PlayPark – was quite new and we were always excited when they implemented any sort of new item which we never had in our version. We can still remember the second half of the past year pretty well.
