Halloween is officially here!

Although Prontera is still suffering from heat wave, you can start this year's Halloween Quest at the Wandering Spirit NPC in the middle of Pront!
The quest will remain in until November 4th.


Please remember that the Wandering Spirit Quest (not to be confused with the NPC) is a prerequesite to this year's Halloween Quest. The guide for it can be found >here<

;tldr (That's right, I'm starting with the short version)
We have a new forum section with sub-forums for the Fairy Auction and the Trial of Heroes!
They are contained in the new public section "heRO Events" that will be visible on the forums index page.
Each new event will have it's own thread in the appropriate sub-forum, making it easier to find information on the particular event you want.
This is replacing the old method of a single thread to contain all information about the events, so be sure to update your bookmarks!

Check them out here:

The 2010 Halloween Quest has been removed, thanks to all who participated. To those who did not finish it, there are now warps that will allow you to leave the Haunted Mansion.

In an attempt to fix a possible problem in PVP/WoE the look of the Robo Eye has temporarily been replaced. The effect of the item remains the same, only its look has changed, to a monocle!
