April News 2007
[ROSE NA Head GM] Leonis - 4/2/2007 5:19 PM

Hello ROSE NA Users,

I'm sure you're all anxious to hear what news April holds. So here goes!
Sadly, no April Fools joke was able to be made in good taste for the community. I would have liked to, but I think my sense of humor tends to fail... a lot.

So, here's what's on the horizon for April.

The ver:139 Update will happen early April. Currently we're on schedule for the 5th, I'm still waiting for a confirmation on that so it's still tentative. The update may require a slightly longer maintenance period then normal because the update is altering the database and is a delicate procedure. We have been testing the process to ensure that nothing goes wrong and to help ensure that it is done as quickly as possible to minimize the downtime during the update. The update mainly is a step of preparation for the following update expected to be available later in the month.

There are a few new items expected for release from the Item Mall. An item that was requested by the community will be added in the ver:139 update. A return scroll to the Sikuku Underground Prison, along with some other items that will be announced in the Item Mall's update.

A notice from the development team gave me insight to what to expect in the near future. They provided their intended plans to include the 7th grade Bindrunes, along with new level 180 level weapons. These items are not yet completed, however they are trying to have this available sometime this month.

We're planning to hold a short event for Easter, as the time comes near, more details will be announced as it comes up.

Also, as mentioned last month with the Clash of the Titans Tournament. We plan to have the details all ironed out and available to you soon. We want to be able to include more participants then last year so we can see who are the real Titans of ROSE. We're also looking at the idea of having team competitions after the Clash of the Titans tournament completes.

At this point, I'm open to hearing what kinds of rewards the community would like to fight for in the Clash of the Titans Tournament.
