THIS UPDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED

All eAthena bugfixes up until today will be live on the server.
-This is huge for a lot of people. No more sp loss when toggling off hide, as well as a lot of other stuff.

Endless Tower!
-We have Endless Tower up and running! It will be live when we release this content patch. We may alter the end to give out coin rewards for clearing the entire instance, if anyone can~

New Battleground Rewards!
-When you leave battlegrounds, instead of getting those amulets that allow faster run speed, you will get a Bronze Coin for turning in to a special BG Vendor!

New Automated Events!
-Two new events will be live on the server as of tonight.

-One is Skirmish, a free for all PvP event that is player run, and can run up to every hour. More information can be obtained by talking to the NPC. He is located in our event npc room, southwest of Prontera fountain.

-The second event is Ring the Bell! It's a random prize generator that you can use over and over again, for a small fee. Try to get the ultra-rare prizes and outcomes!

A New Patcher Skin!
-This is something you will see in effect sometime tomorrow.

New Staff Members!
-Chemist and Tech are already in-game. They're awesome, so say hello!
-We have also welcomed Callie and Rose to our staff! Be sure to welcome them to the ProjectRage family~

Misc. Updates
-@main is now set to on when you log in. You can set it off using the Auto NPC.
-Updated the TCG Trader to be a lot better. You can now see all the items available for purchase as well.
-Added Auto NPC to Moscovia.
-You no longer lose experience when dying in Moscovia.
-Battleground rewards can only be awarded once every 20 hours. (Yes, it is hard to get a battleground running. We plan on using them for planned events, and leaving them open for practicing for said events).
-When you die to any player in any map, you will now receive a message showing you who killed you. This works the same for when you kill someone; The name of who you killed will be displayed along the bottom.

Etchel will be delaying this due to a emergency.

[Etchel]

If you live in the Southern California area, you have probably heard about the huge wildfire that is burning a lot of the Angeles National Forest. My aunt and uncle live right on the border of said forest, and I had to help them move valuables and give them a temporary place to stay since they were evacuated.


Updates will continue tomorrow (Sunday) and will hopefully be released by Sunday night.

[Griffon]

I herd about that, I'm sorry to hear that your grand parents had to move out because of the fire. I pray for their house to not burn down. D:

[Chojiro]

Hope the moving goes well and stuff.

[rpgrocks]

o.o :[.
I'm near that fire too. It's Fire Season again D:. Hope it's not as bad as 2 years ago.

Hope all is well :].

So um... on the new main page, did you mean to spell "faint" as "feint"?

I have to admit I like that new banner a lot. Propz to the creator

[Vezu]

I like the sound of bugfixes coming our way. =)

Etchel, is there any chance of there being a post on what was fixed? Or a change log to look at? I'm just curious to see the changes.

Yes, that's exactly why it's the wrong one.

If that got fixed though, this banner is a huge upgrade. As much as I loved the ridiculously busty high wizard (god can you imagine her back problems) the new art and colour looks way better.


And Etchel: drops for the MVPs in ET will still be at 5x, right? Just asking because ET puts a lot more of them in circulation, so I was wondering if you might've lowered the rates to compensate, like how quest exp is lowered, etc.

Thanks. I made it, and I'm going to slowly revamp the site. More imagery, less boring text. Better buttons and such.

Yes, all the bug fixes and changes will be posted. I'm really working on getting the core content finished (like endless tower and the new events) so I have been behind on all the little things like posting the bug fixes. It'll be here soon.

Yeah, my bad I'll fix it.

Drop rates will be lowered for ALL mobs in Endless Tower. Not sure yet, but somewhere around 3~2x. The point of us implementing it is not for another farm spot, but for actually getting through the Endless Tower. Prizes should be worth it, but most won't be there for the free drops.

Thanks Etchel.
Should have asked this earlier: how long is the cool-down for it going to be?

Alright, awesome. I'm lookin' forward to it. =)

1 week, and it resets on Wednesday.

Also, a few questions have come up as to the drops for Naght Sieger. All his drops will be left intact, but some of them will be nerfed to about 40% drop rate. Info on his drops can be found here: http://ratemyserver....b_search=Search

Etchel, when are you going to make a list of the updated weapons on Rage from MvP drops. You're ignoring the other posts about it in General Discussion thread so have to bring it up here.

[Etchel]

There are no updated weapons, they've all been reverted for a long time now.

[Adalina]

Just clarifying: that means I could do ET on Tuesday and Thursday - the wait isn't one week from when you last did it, but rather that I can do it only once in a Wednesday-Wednesday period?
