I couldn't make up my mind on which fellow to spotlight for this maintenance OP. Both have quite an enduring legacy in their respective fields so I figured might as well do both!

 

Osaka born Kenzo Tange was a extremely brilliant Japanese modernist architect active in the postwar period. Born on September 4th in 1913, throughout his career he applied his modernist theories on how to blend modern technology and manufacturing techniques and traditional architecture to a variety of gigantic structures. Due to the need for new architecture after the war, many young architects like Tange were able to make their mark on the urban fabric of a recovering Japan, sparking something of a golden age of modernism in that country. I was fortunate to have seen a couple of these landmarks during my travels. 

Tange's work didn't end with architecture, his background in urban design also led to radical proposals for redesigning Tokyo and Japan on a grand scale. This is the 100th anniversary of his birth, so I'd certainly have to forfeit my Architecture degree if I failed to mention Mr. Tange.

Also being honored today is Disney Legend Imagineer X Atencio! Born in 1919 as Francis Xavier Atencio in Colorado, he started working for the Disney studio in 1938, paid 12 dollars a week and worked as an apprentice animatior before the war. Returning from service overseas in WWII, he returned to the studio and ended up working on what would become Walt Disney Imagineering. Walt had asked him to write a scene or two for a ride that was being developed and ended up writing the entire script and song for the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride. He also worked on the song and script for the original Haunted mansion as well, tasked with finding the right balance of funny and scary that defined the lengthy development of the ride. He provided the voice for the skeleton trapped in the coffin and for the voiceover that plays when the ride breaks down (which it often does).

 

Maintenance notes: 

 

-New Training grounds and Navigation update arrives

-Double EXP and Drops ends

-VIP bonus extended by one week more

-HE Gum and Battle Manuals depart

 

Groove pack next week, had to push due to not having Monday. 

 

Turn ins: 

Low: High Orc/Rybio

Mid: Aliot/Aliza

High: Kasa/Salamander

 

 

Estimating that we will be running 1/2-1 hour over for more testing.

 

Big patch, strongly recommend that you guys download the manual patch (100mb) on our page here and unzip the file into your ragnarok main folder so you don't have to pull everything from the patch server. As always RUN THE GAME AS ADMIN so you don't miss a thing.

My parents love Pirates of the Caribbean. :) It was especially fun when I told them to look out for the only real skull on the ride.

It's mentioned in Jaye's "What to be looking forward to" thread, sounds like it just went in on kRO in August so it'd be a while before we receive it.

We haven't done one of these in a long time, so it'd probably take us a while to get spun back up on this but it's something that people have been asking for...

Noob Question: Once Boxter is updated, do I get to keep my brownie points or should I spend them all before the update?

 

I'd rather keep them and try my luck on the new box. I'm so tired of those fencer and bowman scrolls.

 

Also, will enriched hammer stay?

Enriched hammer is leaving with maintenance. You don't lose your brownie points.

Oda, is it possible for iRO to modify skill descriptions? I see you guys have an item description fixing project, and it'd be really nice if you guys could update skill descriptions as well.

Question of the Week :
HE Gum and HE Manual going to stay? If so, are they here for a short period only?

Also, I'd like to add one crazy thing. When I bought the box earlier, I got 10x Bubblegum with gave me 30 minutes drop rate buff and the box was tradeable between accounts. But today when I bought the same box, I got the offical HE Gum with 15 minutes drop rate buff and the box couldn't be traded between accounts, but the contents are tradeable. What's the matter with this thing?

Edit : The first box I bought from somebody's vending store and the second one from kafra store. I think they both are different boxes. But then where did the former one come from? O.o

I take it the Spotlight will be changing also. Do you know where yet?

 

Can you also add the above replies, such as Boxter being updated, & enriched leaving, to the original post.

 

Thanks

My family is the same about rides at the park. A big thing we like finding is the hidden mickey's (which are all over the park), not always easy since some are in the moving shadows so you gotta watch it at the right time.
