"Heads-Up" Notice?

[GM-Ayu]

Planning a monster update in the near future. Usually players know about it when the changes show up and it's no biggie most of the time, but this time 2 of the changes involve 2 high end mvp. People may get pissed saying how "oh why the better drops only after we finally gathered enough people blahhhh". So, a public post for everyone so everyone's on the same page and that if GMs' schedule interferes with your plans, it's not that we're out to purposely screw you over.

It's expected that unless the monster changes got problems in the test server within this week, these changes *should* apply starting next sunday. Notice how this isn't a guarantee, but it's a date I'm trying to work for.


Major High End MvP Item Changes:

Ifrit: ring of resonance and ring of flamelord should be boosted to 6%, new drop of "Lucius's Armor of Volcano[1]" added at 3% (this is after our 3x item multiplier.) This is to follow iRO's lead, and not a custom addition. If you use non-english databases for RO that are more advanced than RMS, some of you can see this change already on ifrit.

Satan Morroc Quest Version: should drop one of the 3 morroc quest accessory randomly as a MVP drop, 100%. This means, your entire party, one person there may get 1 of the rings. This is done as part of our event promise that the rings will be obtainable in a difficult yet repeatable manner.



I'll temporarily sticky this for a few days here in the forums.

On a totally unrelated note:

For real life, I decided to apply and try out for a higher position in my career for further advances. I'll submit the application tomorrow, and it'll be months of waiting after that. How this affects heRO? If on the (sadly slim) chance that I am accepted of the job, I'll probably have to quit my GM duties by April 2010.

I'm mentioning this because I don't want to start a moral panic 4 months in the future. "ZOMG a GM quitted *insert conspiracy theory here*" If there's some giant conspiracy theory against me, hey I would've walked out on the job now instead of 4 months later and giving a notice, still doing a monster update and all. If I get hired, I'll have to quit heRO though I'll be kinda happy at a giant promotion IRL. If I failed at that, I'll still be slaving away for you kids while crying to myself for a week afterward, give or take a few days.
