TalonRO - Impossible is nothing - Free Ragnarok Online Server

Christmas is coming closer, so it's time to get rid of that "old" Halloween style and get some snow in!

When you run your TalonPatch, it will download a rather big file that will turn your Prontera, Alberta, Aldebaran, Geffen, Izlude in Christmas Towns! Furthermore a lot of textures will be having snow on them to get in the winter-y mood~

At the same time, we also fixed the item descriptions of the following cards:
- Bongun Card
- Wanderer Card
- Poisonous Toad Card
- Mutant Dragonoid Card
- Owl Duke Card

These cards were previously saying that their effects would trigger when the player was being hit. This should be whenever the player does a physical attack, which is now fixed.

Of course we have a huge Christmas Event on the way which will be released in around 2 weeks.

Also, the Ratemyserver.net reviews have been doing pretty good, but we can still use a lot more to bring our server on #1 where it's supposed to be! Check this topic for more information!

With the Halloween Event behind us we can say that the server's population has been doing quite good lately! Of course, we wish to keep this up and grow even more!

With this, we need your help~ There are a couple of things you can do to help out.

First off: ratemyserver.net reviews
RateMyServer is the #1 resource when it comes to RO information and lots of people seek for a new server on that site. Obviously, the higher a server is on the list, the better! Right now we are on #6 of the Low Rate Servers List, which is good, but we can do a lot better!

So if you would like to see the server grow, please consider writing a review for us on this page. Have you already made one in the past? No worries. They only show the reviews of the past 6 months, so if yours isn't in the list anymore, simply delete it and make a new one~ Signing up takes only a minute.

A few simple steps:
1. Sign up here
2. Once signed up, login here
3. Write your review on this page
4. That's it! It's this easy

Secondly: voting!
As most of you know, you get Reward Points for voting on the topsites. Remember that some of them can be voted on every 12 hours instead of 24 hours, so you can vote multiple times a day!

Thirdly: tell your friends
Got any friends who might be interested in joining? Tell them! To make it easier for you all, we even have a special Tell A Friend page.

Finally: spread the word!
Are you a frequent visitor of some websites? Tell them about the server! Or know any place that might help bring in some players? Go for it.

We hope to keep growing like we've been growing the past weeks/months and your help will be greatly appreciated~

**Important, read this first!!**

Before reading anything down here, please read this topic: http://forum.talonro.com/index.php/topic,26453.0.html

If you have not installed this update yet, do it now please or you will have trouble playing/will not be able to play at all.

Furthermore, please read this topic: http://forum.talonro.com/index.php/topic,26608.0.html Or click on the spoiler below:

I'd like to have everyone's attention for a while to read up on this important new rule (not on the homepage yet, but will be soon).

Although we welcome any nationality and thus a wide variety of languages, it becomes very difficult for players to follow !main chat when a large quantity of lines are in languages they do not understand.  As such, please try to keep the primary language in !main to English.  Extended conversations or excessive lines in another language can be treated as !main spam on a case-by-case, player-reported basis.

So long story short: !main chat will now be English only. A few small lines in a different language are okay, but no more entire conversations.

It might sound a bit harsh, but we are an international server after all where English is the main language. When a new player joins the server and sees !main chat filled with chatter in a language that he/she does not understand, it will give a wrong impression to that person. Plus the matter of moderation on our side. If we cannot read what's been said in !main, we cannot moderate properly either.

That's all for now~

It concerns a new rule to the server.

• The town Brasilis has been implemented. Big thanks goes out to GM Ires for translating Korean quest guides so we could make this. With this, we are the very first (from what we know) private server to have semi-official quests and NPCs in Brasilis! The quest dialogues might not be exactly like the real thing, but they are very close! The update includes the following:
  
  • All monsters and MVPs (semi-official stats/skills/droprates)
  • The Bathroom's Blonde Quest (brasilis 187,244)
  • Guarana Boy Quest (brasilis 187,162)
  • Flower Lily Headgear Quest (brasilis 203,286)
  • Bride's Flower Crown Quest (in_orcs01 119,106)
  • Colored Cute Ribbon Quest (morocc_in 137,102)
  • Majority of the town NPCs like Tool Shops, Weapon Shops, etc.
• The cards for the Episode 13.1 and 13.2 monsters have been implemented and are now dropped by the monsters. This update has already been in for a short while, but we forgot to announce it!
• Trading restrictions of Mercenary scrolls have been removed.
• The Stem Worm and Gargoyle cards have been added to the Vanilla restriction list. This is done to balance things out more.
• The Prontera NPCs have moved a bit. They are all together now instead of the Warp Girl and Minigame Girl being on separate, hard-to-see locations. The novending zone below their original position is still there. Will fix that on next reboot.
• The Lighthalzen spawn location and NPCs have been moved back to their locations back on Aegis. This makes it easier to access the tool shop and to go to the Biolabs.
• The stylist has gotten a rename to Anne the Stylist, and will now warp you to GH Prison if you insult her. If you insult her again, she will warp you to GH Sewers! This is similar to what we had back on Aegis and functions as an easy warp to the Stings map.
• The Minigame Girl now also has the option to display the Monster of the Week.
• You can now upgrade your items at the refiner automatically to the safe upgrading level or to whatever number of upgrades you want.
• Mailbox added to Lutie.
• Like the Automated Kaho Customizer, you can now also customize your PCBs the same way.
• One new hairstyle for both male and female characters added.
• Latest Kahos and PCBs added to Item Shop.
• Battlegrounds PvP Kafra should now work properly.
• Questlog in newbie grounds should work correctly now.
• Fixed an exploit in the jobchanger.
• Fixed some item description typos.

• Added new Episode 13.1 quests, excluding the Onward to the Other World quest (due to warp girl availability).
  
  • New Surroundings
  • Attitude to the New
  • Finding a Fairy & Finding a Giant Tree
  • The Tripartite Union's Feud
  • Cat Hand Agent
  • Part Time Work
• Implemented NPC_VAMPIREGIFT and NPC_WIDESOULDRAIN.
• Cast time of Emergency Call is doubled if you master High Jump. High Jump can't be used on PvP maps.
• Updated Socket Enchant: all items moved to proper NPCs, added slotted Hat of Sun God.
• Fixed warp position between Juno and Schwaltzvalt Realm.
• Slim Potion Pitcher no longer works on barricades and guardian stones.
• Official Aegis WoE announces working correctly now.
• All Songs/Dances now create a 3 second delay before Adaption can be used.
• Fixed various bugs and quest typos.

I don't know how many times we have to keep repeating this.

Do NOT give out your username and password to anyone, no matter what.

We've been having a lot of tickets lately of people who lost their account due to someone who had access to it stealing their account. When you give out your password, YOU are responsible for it. You cannot blindly depend on GMs who will "recover it anyway, so it's fine". It's not fine. Not all cases can be recovered.
Whether it's for helping on a quest, borrowing items, heck, even to your brother/sister (yes, we've had family members scamming each other), the same rule applies: do NOT give out your password.

Thank you.

P.S. Boreas wants you all to know that the world will implode and fill your heart with never ending darkness if you share passwords.
