We are moving the Maintenance time for all servers to 8pm ~ 11pm PT starting on August 14th. This is intended to be a long term change for the servers to allow us to better perform the maintenance with all hands on deck to cope with problems and so we have a longer window to deal with unexpected issues that come up. Prior with the 10~2am maintenances if a problem was found we had larger problems resolving them due to how late it is and getting feedback.

This will result in slightly shorter maintenances. This also should allow Castle investors to get an extra day of Treasure on most weeks. However, we do consider 6 Treasures "normal" getting a 7th is a bonus, if maitnenance goes past midnight we will not restore that missed bonus treasure, but we will do our best to be done by then.

hey heim,
1. are the champion wreath effects going to be disabled at one points or permanent
also,
2. are they going to get an upgrade to a different kind of wreath like the dragon helms went copper>silver>gold?

I see nothing wrong with the time change. I'd rather have it earlier and not have people be tired a possibly make mistakes that otherwise wouldn't get made.

Also, I have to say that I really love the Hall of Abyss, but I'm wonder if there's any possible way that we could get the monster drops down there adjusted a little bit? It would be nice if some of the more common drops (1%~5%) were things like Oridecon and Elunium. It's just ever so slightly a let down to kill these exclusive monsters like the Dark Kobolds and get Blue Hair and Puppy Headbands. D:>

You going to fix castle loot this maint.

You going to fix castle loot this maint.

I thought they announced that they fixed it. What is wrong with it right now?

[beaupoem]

yayyy i'll actually get to play on tuesdays now. i used to always get home from work 10-20 min before maintenance starts

[furynias]

What about TI, do we have a chance to desire the TI that we want like last week?

[jenaoi12]

I think we should keep the TI as now for lv 135-150 in scaraba that was good TI and easy to do it cause everyone will join the party.

[NekoRG]

Scaraba TI is the best, I agree, no Ranger solo TI, big mob and small map. Everyone can hit lv 150 in 1 day with bmx and reset

[ilovemilk]

Nothing was mentioned about the Enriched Hammer NPC. Will he be around after today's maint? I still haven't got a chance to go 7/11 to buy more gocash cards.

The comodo TI for low lvl was difficult to get a group together for and also complete unless ou actually went to the regular map to get it done there.

[Lynex]

Yes, the Comodo turn in took forever to find a group. Once you got down and had a semi-competent group it was easy as hell. I think it took my group 45 minutes to complete and that was only because we'd make it across a bridge and run into about 40 things at once.

Also, it was easy enough to do with one actual healer and a regular Alchemist potting. Having 4 Snipers and a nearly 99 Hunter in the group made it easy enough (especially with all of the CDs In Mouth).

The wreath effects are going to last for a month or two.

You will be able to trade in a +8 wreath for a Torch themed headgear after today's maint.

[Blueness]

Is Classic still going to have another maint during prime time on Thursdays?

[Azyrk]

Have some of the bellum gear descriptions / effects been fixed? Such as the bellum wand.

I'd like this question answered as well. Also, whats wrong with maint during normal business hours? I've never understood why the servers aren't brought down in the middle of the day.

[Akami]

Patch notes would be great Heim.

What sucks is, once maint is up now at 11pm, I pretty much have to go to work. So gay.
