Steam: Players have been posting fake VIP codes in the RO steam community. We will be removing these and suspending the users posting them. We advise against getting in contact with suspect users.

Maintenance on RO1 is Thursdays from 1030-1700 Pacific standard time (UTC-8)

Announcement: RO's producer Campitor is out of town next week, so we will not be doing a maintenance on the week of the 28th.

==RENEWAL===
New this week:

[Thor] If you are just coming back to the game after the migration and haven't had the chance to access the now closed 4th storage, you can write in to the GM Team to get temporary access.

We're going to be posting a poll about a change to the MVP summoner, which had not been updated in a long long time.

Continuing events:

Gramps TI:
Low: Shinobi/Elder
Mid: Venatu (wind)/Centipede Larva
High: Parus/Kasa

Bug:
Teardrop headgears will no longer be refinable. We will be doing a data pull to revert and refund ores and zeny spent on the teardrops that were upgraded this week

We have gotten some reports that the spotlight maps in the new world may not have the proper spawn increases so we'll be double checking that.

===CLASSIC===

Updates
God Items Creation Quest for WoE 1 god items will now reset kill quest counts if after 3 hours you have not completed them. The timer will be set for all characters when they receive the kill counts from the dwarf. Old Kill count quests will be grandfathered in.

Maintenance

Payon's Zone Server is being rebuilt to address the issues happening on that zone. There may be other servers are getting rebuilt as the same time. We will be looking through all the zones to make sure the same issue isn't happening elsewhere.

Announcement: We are going to switch to Thursday maintenance starting this week. The maintenance time will be from 10:30am PST until 5pm. We will likely be up long before that, but we'd rather be up earlier than estimated than later.

The reason for this change to the day of maintenance is that we are handling more maintenance tasks than before.
Campitor is not only scripting the changes for the week but also handling the software updates/antivirus scans on the servers that RO runs on. These don't take a lot of intricate work, but these processes take a lot of time. If not run during maintenance, these operations would bog down or stop the servers if running outside of maintenance.

To avoid moving Wednesdays WoE, we decided to change the maintenance time to avoid conflicts with a Chaos' WoE that people have arranged their schedules around for years.

===CLASSIC===

Ending: Event WoEs come to an end, and castles return to normal WoE settings. Castle ownership reverts to what they were pre-Event WoE

Santa NPC Event comes to an end

Bug Fix: 3D Glasses will no longer display the incorrect sprite.

===RENEWAL===


Event WoE ends, and castles revert to pre event ownership

Global Drops and Exp bonuses leave

This restart will happen at noon PST


All Servers
Removing the ability of Rebels to use Omni Clothing Dye
Rebels who used these dyes will be reverted and have the coupon returned
Adding Bloody Cartridges to the game
Battlefield NPCs will now allow rebels to buy guns
"Suspicious Man" Rebel job change NPC becomes clickable. You will no longer be locked out if someone is standing too close
Thor
All Kafras will display the four storages
Looking into what happened with the WoE castles

On Going Issues
Assassins and Rogues can no longer equip arrows except when a bow equipped
This affects all classes, although it may not be a bug this is a major issue as it hurts the quality of life for any class that switches between ammo using weapons and weapons that do not use ammo. We are requesting it be reverted.
Missing the special effects for the clan skills
Clan window not working
Rebel Class EXP table seems to match that of second job, Asking if that is intended from kRO as it seems to be hard coded into the exe.
