So far, these dates are tentative but we wanted to give the community a better sense of implementation dates for Classic during the early part of the year. I'll be adding to this as we get more details clarified.

There are many things I've missed on the list, but as I've mentioned in the patch notes thread, I will get more information on things you have been asking about, like these Community requests for scheduling that aren't set on my calendar yet:

Socket Enchanting
Food system update
Un-account bound versions of dungeon drops

Late February
Battlegrounds

March
Hugel Spotlight on Classic
St. Patrick's day quest

April
Robot Factory
Kiel Hyre Quest and spotlight

May
Rachel/Rachel Spotlight

June
TKM
Anniversary Quest
Prontera Spotlight
Poring festival minigames

July
Thors volcano/Veins
Veins Spotlight
PVP prep tournament

August
Summer Sports festival
Grand PVP Tournament

I'm sure you'll get complaints about this, but here is the actual, original update path. We are currently at Episode 10.3.
Primarily so that when people complain about things not being in, they can see when they actually did enter the game.
10.4 - Hugel
Hugel
Kiel Hyre
Odins Temple

11.1 - Arunafeltz
Rachel
Rachel Sanct
Ice Dungeon
Socket Enchanter

11.2 - Veins
Veins
Thors Volcano
Monster skill patch (EQ and the like)

11.3 - Nameless Island
Cursed Abbey
WoE 2.0
Anubis
Orc Archer Bow

12 - Nightmare of Midgard, Destruction of Morroc
Moscovia
Morroc Destroyed
Dimensional Gorge
Sealed Shrine
Endless Tower
SE God Item Quest

13.1 - Ash Vacuum
The New World
WoE 2.0 Guild Dungeon
Orc Dungeon Isntance

13.2 - Encounter Against the Unknown (final trans update)
Splendide
Manuk
Nidhoggr

So I'd suggest reversing March/April, since we need Kiel and Odins Temple to complete the Odins set and Morpheus set which are only partially in game.

^ afaik Morroc won't get destroyed in Classic Loki. (at least I hope so)

[Lupus]

But Morroc is already destroyed?

[EtNox]

May we get some info about planned map-adjustments aswell? As for example Noggroad 2 is useless now, and i remember it being a nice partyspot with way better spawns at our current episode. Same goes for Dark Frames (used to have like 4 or 5 instant spawns, now it's like 1 instant and 1 with some seconds respawn?) and West Orc Village (has like 20 High Orcs for the whole map, which is like ~1/3 of the usual spawn?) aswell as some other places.

As at the given stage of the game we have like one map which is viable for partyplay, and that's AL3. Every map else lacks monster density or has icewall disabled, making the whole lvling waaaaay more dangerous than it already was back these days.

[Ramses]

you should check the maps yourself...

[cybernetic]

Oh.. more slow updates.. with even less content then anticipated..

[Auraxinji]

Say goodbye to Classic Loki!

[Kadnya]

I really wish that Woe 2 was close in your list of things to implement. Also, heim promissed a new schedule vote on classic woe1 when the renewal merge was done... but by now probably most of the players who couldn´t woe at 1pm are gone

Please insert woe 2 (at a later time than 1 pm please) in your close update plans...

[HayrohsLegacy]

Dead server.

[Vlbl]

But Morroc is already destroyed?

Happens to me too, in the client I use, Morroc is already destroyed. But if you download the client and install from zero you'll see Morroc as it used to be.

[Heart]

But Morroc is already destroyed?

wait what...?
morroc is still intact for me on classic lol

[OnMyWay]

Question: Will the stat enchantment system come with the Battlegrounds update?

[HansLowell]

Server is like a desert right now, time to take a break I guess.

[Jaffer]

Bring the stat enchantments in with the Battlegrounds update. Will make BG more active since people need to enchant their armors.

[Arkuss]

Stop the updates at Ifrit/Beelz and leave us alone. This is classic. If you're just going to patch us to Renewal theres no point in even opening a Classic server -.-;

People are still...

It's going to 13.2. Nidhoggr + Manuk + Splendide.

13.3 is Renewal.

It may add the Renewal maps/mobs/some content to act as expansions to Classic, but trans classes and all the formulas are remaining.

Morroc Destruction and beyond is when the game takes a huge downturn and the only viable WoE killers are 1 shotters or string AB spam. Right now a good WS can still burst people down and LK's with BB can still do damage. Resistance gets too high and gear becomes too powerful and the game falls apart. I think pre destruction is a good place to end the patching, at least for a while.

@EDIT: Releasing new Content in March would be nice though. I think Rachel should be released well before May. We need new content not just spotlights.

You suggest AB without strings should kill anything?
I still haven't seen that WS.
LKs can't do damage yet, no megs and no kvm weapons.
The biggest problem with SM was the 1 agi 100% stun resist - which will be achieved when Valk comes. Also the dia rings and robes made things way too easy for champs.

[cybernetic]

Can we have a more detailed outlook on what is in store this month? Surely there is more planned then just two (very minor) content updates..

while you're at it, can we also get no more ninja editing of the update post, several things have been moved around on it with zero explanation

ninja nerfs = worse than update fails

[Arkuss]

Anything to confirm if Hugel Spotlight includes Odins?

[Magefist]

No Ice Dungeon until May I guess.
