Cabal Episode 9 Put To The Test

ESTsoft's follow-up to the yet unreleased Episode 8 is currently in the Korean Test Servers and has been going pretty well. With a new accessory, dance, and tweaked crafting system, we can expect Cabal to be better than ever when this patch gets implemented.

For now, we just have to wait a little while longer since Episode 8 is still nowhere in sight to going live.

I have decided to create a separate post for the Test Server Patch Notes for easy updating.
