I'm happy to announce (for those who don't know) that the server will celebrate it's 3rd birthday on October 15th 2008. We've got an eventful week planned for our dear heroes our this occasion ^_^ We will make sure to celebrate the server's third birthday with style!

Birthday Questing!

We also cooked up a special Birthday Quest accompanied by a unique heRO gear, see Pandelina in center Prontera. The quest is rather short, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering you got 1 week to complete it. We planned a nicer reward for the Veterans of the server, to show our gratefulness to those who supported the server through the years, but newcomers have not been forgotten either don't worry.

heRO Server ~ Reaching Beyond Infinity!

Last but not least, we have designed our own version of the Infinity Tower which is a new dungeon on the official servers. It's different from the original, but we hope it will be just as fun. For the duration of the birthday week only a GM can open the pathway, but after players will be able to do it too providing they meet certain condition(s). More information on the heRO Infinity Tower to come soon.

A Guest Has Arrived

As one of the first guests that heRO server has invited, the God Poring and its friends will be the first guest to visit heRO server and make its home in Poring Island.

The God Poring is a non-aggro MvP that will be found in Poring Island. The long awaited new family members of the Poring Family, Aquaring and Sapling will also be wandering in Poring Island as well.

Be sure to give them a visit~!
