Notable Features : 

- Several old keys have returned to the store along with a very low drop rate for some older community chests.
- The current set of community crates will no longer expire, but their drop rate will be decreased over time and their rarity increased over time.

As you can see, there are chances that certain old community chests will now be droppable. Which means that you have a chance to buy your diretide keys and open the boxes.
