The second large patch to date was released today: patch version 1.0.15. As well as changes to increase class balance, this patch introduces two new non-combat activities and a new way to collect Dragonballs through PvP.
Dragonball Scramble:
A PvP mini-game in which large groups of players battle in random parts of the world over the Dragonballs. The scramble is only available to players level 45+ and only on specified channels. Entry into the scramble is voluntary and participating players are identified by a light underneith their feet. Unlike the Dragonballs that you can obtain over the weekend, there is only 1 set available for each scramble and they can be used to wish for level 55 items.
The Auction House:
Located in the southeast corner of West City and offers pretty much what you'd expect from an auction house system.
Mascot System:
More commonly known as pets in other MMOs, these mascots can be purchased from Mascot Capsule Machines located in all 3 of the starting zones as well as West City. In addition to being totally kawaii, the mascots may also offer a few special functions (although all that's available right now is the ability to disallow people from seeing your equipment). Only the following 12 mascots are currently obtainable:
But more have been found in the game's files:
Also, if you haven't already noticed, the skill database has been recently updated to include videos of over 250 of the skills. More information can be found at http://www.dbocom.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2403
Patch looks great so far. But what bothers me is that the dragon balls that are obtained from the scramble are of a different tier than the weekend dragon balls. That means I won't ever make those lvl 55 wishes unless swordsmen are nerfed.
Scramble system looks great, the mascots are something that this game lacked all the time, and maybe they'll add some transformations or something like evolving Your mascot that would be awesome :D
Action house is even better news, at least people will stop putting so many shops in towns, and I will be able to sell stuff now without leaving pc for all day :D

1) The Dragonball Scramble sounds a lot like Dragonball hunting during the Namek Saga :D
2) THe Mascot system, what you mean by disallowing people form seeing your equipment, like eg. you have lvl 50 stuff and want to surprise other people and make it look like you wearing nothing?

Reason: needed to add the quote
Pretty early in the game to be adding new dragon balls already
Are they esthetically different from the regular ones?
This isn't the first time they added a new dragon ball tier in the game. Now in total we have three tiers of them.
Tier 1: Collected through certain quests before level 20. Used to get your character ready for level 20+
Tier 2: Collected by grinding on weekends. Used to make various wishes that will help you throughout the game.
Tier 3: Collected through the scramble. Used to get level 55 armor?
