Announcement: We are going to switch to Thursdaymaintenance starting next week. The maintenance time will be from 10:30am PST until 5pm. We will likely be up long before that, but we'd rather be up earlier than estimated than later. The reason for this change to the day of maintenance is that we are handling more maintenance tasks than before.

 

Campitor is not only scripting the changes for the week but also handling the software updates/antivirus scans on the servers that RO runs on. These don't take a lot of intricate work, but these processes take a lot of time. If not run during maintenance, these operations would bog down or stop the servers if running outside of maintenance.

 

To avoid moving Wednesdays WoE, we decided to change the maintenance time to avoid conflicts with Chaos' WoE. 

 

Continuing events: 

 

More delivery quest rewards-added chance to receive Rudolf Santa Hat or Boy's Naivety tame as daily reward. 

 

Santa's memory was a little too good and so he wasn't giving his gifts to folks who had talked to him last year. This will be reset! 

 

-Instead of offering seal reset, Santa will give 1 stat reset per character. 

 

Event WoE: No MVP/No God item, 1 castle open per realm

The Thors map should be back up now, we restarted that zone earlier today. Just checked and I was able to get to those maps without problems.

Wow maybe we should just bot seal chars then since the chars I needed to reset were bugged.

 

 

 

 

Also thanks isamu.

Seal resets are kind of a big deal you know. Just because your everyday joe doesn't make use of it (and why not btw, seals are open to everyone and they have pretty nice rewards) doesn't mean you should just take it out >.>

 

I really hope you're not basing that decision on all the Thor and Chaos migrant derps who complained about a seal option on the Santa NPC because they were too pampered to know what RO's vanilla quests were, and had no concept of seal questing to begin with because all their home-server gods were sourced from Cash Shop comps or RMT.

 

Actually what feedback did you collect from the community to base that decision on? Would you be able to enlighten us? You're not just coming to a conclusion about what the playerbase "wants" on your own without consulting said playerbase are you? That would be pretty dumb. Within the realms of expectation for WP, but dumb.

 

Why not have Santa give a seal reset OR a stat reset? Give us the ability to choose. It would require inserting one little snippet of script from the normal resetter into the NPC to give us that choice. Not at all difficult.

Here's an idea: remove Santa and whatever Christmas Quests/Rewards are implemented. No gift for bad kids. Maybe people would stop complaining .

Also please update us for event woes. Lots of people already said that but for next holidays we should have all event woes previously settled.

 

>implying we'll still have classic at Christmas next year

 

edit: Word to the wise:

Spoiler

 

 

Contrary to what you think, not everything is about you!

It's not your place to decide who is entitled to complain about what. In this case being able to reset seal characters is pretty massive in terms of game advantage, tho I can only assume Oda couldn't be arsed to forward our concerns to campitor before they went home for the night. Because we know Oda read it, but campitor was reading other threads.

 

Either way, I can do without your passive aggressive BS when forwarding the concerns of my guildmates, like a guildleader should.

I mean, we were told that santa would be fixed so those who were bugged could use it, and no indication that seal resets would be removed from it. People screwed over by that combination have a pretty legit reason to complain, I'd say.

- SE GD dropping GSB.

- Megawoe as xellie suggested: 1 realm, disable the others.

- 1 week free GD access due to fail woe test

- XP bonus to attract new players.

- check MVPs/Miniboss cards.

 

[kisai]

Wow. Giant middle finger to Xellie and Valhalla.

[teresias]

Hi Oda, will the spotlight stay in Alde & Lutie after maint?

[Ecclesio]

I'm actually looking forward to the stat reset tbh, I'm a terrible player and messed up the builds to several of my characters....so   Thank you, GM's. 

[AlmrOfAtlas]

Wow. Giant middle finger to Xellie and Valhalla.

 

Giant middle finger to pretty much everyone who runs seals legitimately tbh, Valhalla or no, especially when you can reset character stats whenever you want and rather cheaply but have no way of resetting seal status for ANY amount of money or kp outside of that NPC.

[Xellie]

Giant middle finger to pretty much everyone who runs seals

 

Some people don't even do that

Why not have Santa give a seal reset OR a stat reset? Give us the ability to choose.

 

Seal quest resets are why I wanted to Santa. I legit do seal quests for my guild (also hunt quest items and some WoE supplies occasionally). As I don't have much time to play and can do this on my own at my leisure, this is how I contribute to my guild and what I find fun about playing the game. As I don't have time to delete all those characters and re-level them anymore, not allowing Santa to do resets would severely impact me wanting to continue playing this game. Please consider giving the option to do a stat or seal reset.

[needmorezleep]

add seal resets for zeny to the normal game /ok

[Xellie]

oh god no, there'd be like 6 creations a week at least

[needmorezleep]

would make woe a fun time doe

[AmericanPie]

[TheLeafs]

Should've told us before we redeemed the gifts that stat reset was going to be implemented, I needed that stat reset ..... sigh
