Dont forget we are changing hour today (for those in daylight saving time). The server automatically changed the hour so if you're not sure what time woe is at for you, just do @time and it will give you the local server time (WOE is from 2 to 4 PM)
Hiya!!
Happy Halloween everyone ^_^
Of course there will be an event tonight, should be around ~8ish PM (server time EST).
See you then!
I hope those who participated enjoyed last night's big Halloween event!!
The trick or treat quest is over, I hope you got your sweets!
The disguiser npc was removed, one night of this crashy dude was enough anyway, but it was fun to play disguise ^_^
The witches and Mr. Pumpkin will stay with us for a few more days, enjoy them while they're there, I'll probably remove them this weekend.
Cheers!!
Tonight (friday the 17th of November) there was a Light VS Dark event! The brave Light warriors have pushed away the evil forces of Erebos that held Prontera!
The November patch is available:

Tomorrow (saturday the 18th of November) I'll unveil the Zodiac Quest!
Cheers
Next saturday, December the 9th at around 2-3 PM, the main server will be turned off, for a day. This is the day we are testing the new svn, which has Ninja/Gunner and all the new changes from eAthena.

On that day, you can play on a high rate temporary server (will probably be 1k/1k/1k), we need your feedback before implementing this new svn, so come and give it a try. If we have a lot of people on, I might hold a woe saturday night. I will revert everything back to the real server by sunday morning, so this does not affect the sunday woe.
Important: If all goes well, you wont need to download anything, HOWEVER, your account will not be working on the test server, you will need to create a new account using the "_F/_M" method.
I'll probably be doing a few reboot during the day saturday, to tweak some stuff and it might take a little time to set it up properly, so please be patient ^_^
Please spread the news in-game, as not everyone reads the forum and I'd like to minimize the amount of "zomg server is down!"
Cheers everyone ^_^
Today's the day we have the high rate.
14:20 ~ backup of the Main server
14:30 ~ Main server turned off
14:50 ~ Creating the fresh database
15:30 ~ Swearing at the computer a lot..
15:40 ~ Database and sql permission set
16:15 ~ Problem with map server, but we're almost there!
16:45 ~ We've almost got it all working, I see that some of you created accounts already, my impatient little ones ^_^
17:00 ~ YES! It's up!! Thanks to GM-Windslip and I
Sorry for making you wait so long!
The main server is back on
We wont be changing to the latest svn yet, we'll need more tweaking and testing.
The Christmas Light/Dark Quest was added, it will be there during the holiday (same goes for your xmas friends!), so make sure you do it soon if you want the allegiance points as well as the cute christmas hat!! ^_^
The NPC to start the quest is located in Prontera, 7 oclock from the center. The rest you'll have to figure out on your own, but know that the whole quest can be done in Prontera city.
Altough the hats are not light or dark per say, if you finish the quest the dark way you'll receive the Santa Jester and you'll get the Snow cap if you finish the quest the light way.
Happy holiday heroes!! ^_^
On behalf of all the heRO staff, I'd like to wish everyone a truely happy new year!
