Let me just say that this was handled horribly. Not only were we not informed on how to make the characters (turns out there was a separate client), many people can't even get that client to run correctly. It resorted to a "who-has-the-best(luckiest)-computer" race.

I don't make threads often, so you know that this was a -_- disaster.

What the hell does this have to do with VIP?...

Did I mention anything about VIP?

When you open the client, it tells you the specific instructions on what to do to get your names...

Yeah, sure, once you realized that a separate patcher even existed. Even there, there were errors.

Ugh~ I hope names I use aren't taken by the time commoners can create..

You should ask a VIP to hold one for you.

Can you point to me where it said that? My patcher says:

- Thursday, 6/28 at 12 noon PDT, the classic server will allow VIP members to create their characters, but not play yet!
- Free and MORE, check it out!
- Big Anniversary Extravaganza Box!
- 2x EXP and 2x drops after maint!
- VIP is now on Sale through July 3rd! Great time to top up your account!
- Boxter is in and looking for the Anniversary Extravaganza Box items.
- Looking for free WPE? Login to WarpPortal: Power up
and use the "Video for WP" option! New videos weekly to earn you free WPE!
- Hate Spam? Check the thread here!
- Thread for discussing this week's maintenance
- Please run the patcher as admin to be sure your files update correctly.

It was handled poorly, but we were all on equal footing. This is Ragnarok, you need to expect things will go wrong and keep your eye on the appropriate thread in order to stay on top of it.

Not sure why my client doesn't show that. I've re-patched it multiple times. When did that notice come up? After they started the name-grabbing or beforehand?

I also didn't get any indication of what to do on my own Patch Notice. That message is still not there for me. o_o If I didn't look the the forums, I wouldn't have thought that there was another client added.

Well apparently we can send in a ticket if someone snatched our name and it's a unique one that is pretty established in the RO community. I guess there's still hope for me. :D

It was handled fine.
I got the error at first, but it was entirely my own fault for rushing in and not reading and using the correct client.
Not going to try and pass blame off.

The ones who are saying it was handled fine or turned out OK are the ones who got the names they wanted or who had the correct patcher. I don't log into forums and my patcher wasn't updated. What was I supposed to do?

The message to run the Classic client only showed up for me after I ran the Renewal client as Admin, like it said to at the very bottom.

That also does not work for me. :D

I just wish that they'd mentioned the need for the ClassicRO client along with all the announcements they made everywhere.
