WoE SE implementation
Written by: kaypha on October 26, 2008 | | | | After some thought and feedback from you guys about WoE, we have decided to implement the WoE SE completely as it stands for further discussion and review by the community 
Admin Flumens has said that this change will take place Thursday along with some other updates and fixes Please note that when this happens all current econs will be reset to 0. Thanks for all your support, guys! |
New: Voting Link Now In The Patcher
Written by: Flumens on October 7, 2008 | | | | For your convenience, a link to the ragnarok top 200 voting site can now be easily accessed when you run the patcher. Hopefully this will lead to more people voting. Please take a moment to support the server by voting whenever you run the game. You can't miss it, so there's no excuse! It doesn't even open a new window; you can vote from within the patcher itself! Don't forget that you can vote every 12 hours.
It doesn't look very pretty, but it was 5 AM, so sue me. |

Written by: Flumens on October 7, 2008 | | | | [i:d5676]Note: It may take several days for us to get to these as the process is not automated.[/i:d5676]
To retrieve your password:
Send an email to shadowro@gmail.com. Use the email you registered your account with so we can verify that you are the true owner. If you are not the owner you cannot be given the password, no matter what you claim about your friend giving it to you, etc. Secondly, include the name of ONE of your characters (doesn't matter which).
We will reset the password and email you back with the account name and password. You should change it immediately to something you'll remember.
To transfer custom items from one account to another:
Send an email to shadowro@gmail.com. Use the email you registered your account with so we can verify that you are the true owner. If you are not the owner, you cannot approve the transfer of custom items. Custom item transfers may be declined at our discretion. The email should include your account name, the item(s) to transfer, and the recipient's account name. |
Server changes coming Sunday
Written by: kaypha on September 5, 2008 | | | | There will be some downtime on the server Sunday evening.
During this downtime the following should be accomplished:
eA update which will include a rates change to 10/10/5 instead of 7/7/3 like before.
Limited implementation for slums housing, if it works well we'll add more/adjust after getting some feedback from the server
re-implementation of the missing event maps
Guide npc (written by Remia, scripted by Elements) to explain the custom features of our server
Things that we are working on for the future:
@gameinfo - if you're interested in writing an article for our newly coming in-game wiki please see Ivy/Kaypha or Bakachan.
Outfit/Clothes Shop - if you are an interested spriter please contact Qnii.
Battle Arena
Pet Arena
Rankings - new ones
Website Upgrade (with FanArt section)
possibly extension to 12 char slots /account (this is actually more complicated than anticipated).
Item exchange npc
possibly something to motivate elites to level again  (still in baby discussion stages). |
Scripting Lessons
Written by: kaypha on September 4, 2008 | | | | Some people have expressed joining our dev team but dont know how to script.
Bakachan, our main developer, has kindly said he will give scripting lessons for interested members of the community in our IRC Channel.
To join in you need an IRC client and the channel info is in the forums
I will also remind you that the IRC is the best place to report bugs, chat with developers, and get an idea of what possibly could be changing in the server - ahead of time. It is the best place to get a hold of Flumens or Bakachan to give them suggestions and your own personal arguments why you think it would be an improvement for the srever.
Thanks guys!

Looking for Artists :)
Written by: kaypha on August 12, 2008 | | | | Hey guys,
So recently I received a PM wondering if we needed art and if so - where.
I thought it was in the town notes, but i can't even seem to find them myself so I"ll post up artistic needs here.
1) Website layout and design - (you probably need to know webdesign for this assignment)
2) Loading screens (always looking for more awesome ones )
3) Spriters (to maintain customs or touch em up or perhaps implement seasonal things)
4) Videos
5) Comics
I hope to put up a fanart section on the website which would host all these goodies for our enjoyment and for people to see when tehy come visit the new website.
6) Other things that I might not have thought of. - If you have an idea and I haven't covered it yet, feel free to ask about it. |
Kaypha and Flumens IRL!
Written by: kaypha on July 28, 2008 | | | | Well, possibly.
For now I'm posting my general commitments in terms of time since I"ve heard some grumbling about the fact that I'm not around as much right now. Which, is fair. Though it still hurts a little bit :/ I know i've been kinda short/semi-distracted these days. Sorry 
For now I have a fulltime job that will last through the summer. and then! I'll be volunteering at a hospital, but my hours will be a lot more flexible If everything goes well I won't start school til fall 2009.
Which means! More time for deving, updates, and handling your problems and complaints.
Now as for Fluffy,
He'll be back to his normal hours starting fall as well. Since apparently school takes a lot less of his time than his summer work ^_~ (go figure its because he's such a smarty pants =/)
As for the other GMs.. hrm I'm not entirely certain what their hours are but they'll be in school (either senior HS or university) so their hours are probably going to be flexible and diverse
Thanks for listening while the server updates! Nya~  |
Update Coming Soon! And Stuff to Comment On
Written by: Flumens on July 23, 2008 | | | | So I had originally planned the eAthena update for...two weeks ago. Yep. Or was it three? Yep.
So it's almost done, just a couple bugs to work out yet and some more testing. I'm going to wait until Sunday after WOE to do the update and post the change log. There are a few important things to note though. The first is that East WOE will be wiped out again. West WOE will be reduced to 3 castles in total with 2-3 open each WOE. Obviously, as there are currently 6 castles, we'd need to close 3 of them. But which 3? In order to be fair, the 3 with the lowest economy will be shut some time after WOE on Sunday.
Also, this eAthena update brings about WOE: SE. I haven't tested it to see what works and what doesn't, but for the immediate future, we won't be using it here. We need to work out a schedule and interest in it first as 8 hours of (slow) WOE each week likely isn't in the best interest of the server at this time.
There was probably more, but I'm really tired and can't think right now. Is it September yet? |
Kaypha needs help with Pet Arena!
Written by: kaypha on July 23, 2008 | | | | As the topic states I need help with Pet arena.
What is Pet arena? Its a custom minigame that has been discussed for a while now and i've been puzzling how to implement it.
It features a separate arena where you can take pets you've captured throughout Rune-Midgard to train and level. In the pet arena you can battle via random encounter or challenge a friend (or enemy).
These pets will have rudimentary stat and skill trees which is based on their level/ability.
Periodically there will be different tournaments. If someone wins all of the tournaments consecutively, there will be a very special event! (more on tournaments later, we need to get the arena in place first).
Mainly i need people to help work on my team and for anyone who is knowledgeable about pet vs pet games such as Pokemon you're very welcome to apply.
If you're interested in applying please do the following.
First of all, you agree not to release any details about the arena.
Secondly, you have to be willing to work with a team and with devs (because as cool as an idea might seem, if we can't implement it there's no point )
Fill out this application:
IGN:
Time Zone:
Do you use an IM service such as MSN/AIM?
What are your qualifications?
What role do you think you could/would fulfill?
Any time constraints that would conflict your ability to work on this project? |
Some Staff Changes
Written by: kaypha on July 22, 2008 | | | | Just some quick announcements:
