'''DQVC''' is the name of the online content service available through the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Wi-Fi_Connection Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection] in {{DQ9}} from July 11, 2009 to May 20, 2014. The service not only carried items which can be purchased in a store-like setting, but also extra quests and [[Treasure map (Dragon Quest IX)|treasure map]]s. Much of the content is not available through normal gameplay. To use the service the player must have advanced far enough in the story that the {{NPC}} [[Sellma]] appears in [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. The DQVC's name is a reference to the QVC (short for Quality, Value, Convenience), an American television network and shopping channel that specializes in home shopping, which is broadcast in several countries, including the United Kingdom and Japan. | '''DQVC''' is the name of the online content service available through the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Wi-Fi_Connection Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection] in {{DQ9}} from July 11, 2009 to May 20, 2014.

Initially after release, new quests were periodically released using the service. Since September 2011, connecting to the DQVC will download all unavailable bonus quests to the player's game cart. This was done after the game had been on the market for over a year, and all promotional events were over and all of the online quests had been fully released. | ||
There was an interruption of the DQVC service in North America between June 8, 2012 and June 26, 2012. Then in June 2013, the DQVC was shut down without prior notification by Square Enix. This led to a fan outcry, which resulted in the service being turned back on again in August of 2013. On May 20, 2014, Nintendo ended the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, and thus the DQVC, due to the ending lifespan of the original [[Nintendo DS|DS and DSi]]. | There was an interruption of the DQVC service in North America between June 8, 2012 and June 26, 2012.

On May 20, 2014, Nintendo ended the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, and thus the DQVC, due to the ending lifespan of the original [[Nintendo DS|DS and DSi]]. In October of 2018, an exploit in Nintendo's SSL implementation was discovered that which made it possible to trick an unmodified DS into connecting to alternate servers through use of a custom DNS during wifi setup. This led to multiple groups of fans hosting recreations of the original server and a revival of the DQVC service. | ||

Sellma will ask the player if he/she wants to connect to DQVC to update the content. An update would have been required to start the service, but thereafter the player may choose to shop DQVC without an update. If the DQVC is not updated, then the items for sale will be the same as what was available from the last update, less any that were purchased by the player or any visitors. | |||
