Regarding account sharing
Posted by: GM Seiren on November 20, 2009 - 05:52 AM
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.
Important *Must Read* - Regarding Sakray/Renewal
Posted by: GM Seiren on November 5, 2009 - 11:08 AM
**Important - Must Read**
Right, now that I have your attention, let's get down to business.
As some of you already know, Gravity has stopped updating their usual Sakray and have moved on to Renewal Data. What this means is that you will no longer be able to get the latest RO updates through your regular sakray.exe.
Of course we wish to keep moving forward with the server and implement many new features (we have quite some big updates coming up). To do this, we need to implement the Renewal data and patcher. Unfortunately, the Renewal data file "rdata.grf" is around 100 MB already, which is a tad too big for the normal patcher. So in order to implement this, we have decided to gradually let everyone update their TalonRO. You (for now) will still be able to play without this, but we urge you to update as soon as possible. Furthermore, it is required for new features such as Brasilis, 3rd classes and more. That is why we urge you to download and install this as soon as possible.
So how will we do this? It's important that you update your current Sakray to the latest.
If you downloaded the Full Installer or Mini Installer after November 5th 2009, this post does not apply to you. You should already have the necessary files (to make sure, check if you have a file called rdata.grf in your TalonRO folder).
- First off, we have made a new installer, conveniently called "TalonRO Renewal Installer". Getting this is highly recommended, so we urge you to get it asap. This basically gives you all the necessary files, plus a new patcher "RagnarokPatch.exe" which you can now use to get the latest updates. Get this here ( 104 MB ). Once it's done, open it and install it in your current TalonRO folder. Make sure your RO is not running when installing it. You don't have to erase anything. Just download this file, open it, install it to your current TalonRO folder and you're done.
- The Full Installer has been updated to contain all the new updates, including the Renewal files. If ever you have any problems, get this.
- The Mini Installer also contains the Renewal data. This means the file has increased in size, but we rather have a bit bigger download than people's RO not working.
We hope to have informed you all enough with this post. If you have any questions regarding all of this, do not hesitate to ask us.
Long story short
- Download this file ( 104 MB ) as soon as possible.
- Install it in your current TalonRO folder (make sure you are not running RO).
The event will end at the end of Sunday, so play while you can
Troubleshooting
Help, all my text is in some weird language!
You probably ran the installer with your RO still running. Close RO first and then install the renewal patch.
Help, my client closes randomly after installing the patch!
Same as above. You probably ran the installer with RO still running. Close it first, then install the file.
My client doesn't work at all anymore!
Check the size of your sdata.grf. Make sure it's around 1.19 GB.
I didn't run RO and installed it, but something is still not working!
Make sure your Sakray and TalonRO are fully updated before installing this patch. Do not run TalonPatch afterwards (unless you are fully updated). If it still fails, first try to download the Mini Installer from the homepage and install it in your current TalonRO folder. If all else fails, get the Full Installer from the homepage.
Now, regarding to the this download I would also like to present you this:
Halloween event 2009!
Posted by: GM Sushi on October 29, 2009 - 08:26 PM
Remember to run your TalonRO Patcher or you WILL run into problems!
The GM staff is proud to present to you...
This is where the fun begins! There are several activities located in random houses throughout the island. Some doors will take you to your desired game while other doors may just get you a door in the butt. But worry not for patience may bring treats!
Quiz! Quiz! Quiz! Due to popular demand, the Questionaire is making a reappearance! This activity will take place in one of the houses around the island so keep your eye out for it. The idea is fairly simple for those who are new to this. Questions will be asked of varying difficulties and your job is to pick the correct answer. If you answer correctly, you will be awarded a Silver Coin. Get the answer wrong and, well, better luck next time! DO NOT MULTI-CLIENT. Doing so will result in severe punishment.
One of our main events! There are three floors in the Krispen Mansion and they are infested with monsters. It would be of great service if you helped clean out the mansion. The monsters on the first floor as well as two particular monsters on the second floor drop Silver Coins! Further along, all the monsters on the third floor AS WELL AS two particular monsters on the second floor drop Gold Coins. Good luck hunting! DO NOT KILL STEAL OR LOOT STEAL. Doing so will result in severe punishment. Competition #1 The three players with the most Gold Coins at the end of the event will be awarded special prizes. First, second, and third places will all get the same prizes. So as long as you are among the top 3, you will qualify for the grand prize! Worry not if you do not make it on the list, we will provide you a way to get rid of your Gold Coins when the event is over. Farm long and farm hard! The road will be rough but it will be worth it! Protip: In order to quickly travel between the floors, you must first venture by foot before you may use the warper that is available inside.
Battle For Treasures! To add another side to the Halloween event, this year you have a chance to battle fellow players for a chance to show that you are the one that deserves what the treasure chests hold. Every two hours, the door to the Krispen Treasure Room will open for 30 minutes for those who choose to fight for their glory. May the best player win! | The Krispen Legacy and the Rise of Krispia A few miles off the southern coast of Arunfeltz, outside of Veins City, lies a rather unusual mansion, with a rather dark past. For many years, the Mansion was a lively place, owned by a wealthy landowner named Edward Von Krispenato the Third. Every Halloween, Von Krispenato would host a fabulous ball, inviting not only the wealthy members of society to his island estate, but even poorer folk as well. All of the guests would come dressed in various elaborate costumes to sing and dance throughout the night. While the parents celebrated, the children received many goodies from Von Krispenato's smiling servants. Indeed, good times were to be found at ol' Eddie Von Krispenato's party... These festive holiday times were short lived, however, for Edward was struck with a maddening disease that took every bit of his sanity. One year, during a Halloween party, he ran through the halls of his mansion, killing every servant in sight. When he had finished, he turned his rage on the revelers of the party. Not a single soul was spared from the massacre . . . not even the children. Some have said that the man was possessed; an unfortunate soul forsaken the right to control his own body. Others have assumed that he was cursed; fated by the devil himself to meet such a ghastly end. In either case, his story has faded from news to story and from story to legend. Now, many years have since passed from that fateful night, and Edward has long since vanished, leaving the mansion cold and abandoned with only tattered memories left clinging to the dust-covered walls. BUT, as a new Halloween approaches, strange occurrences are beginning to take shape. Recently, many people are claiming to have witnessed strange lights emitting from and around the mansion. Some sailors even claim to have seen the figure of a young woman ambling around the wicked island. On top of this, local candy-makers have recently noticed a young woman who had ordered extremely large amounts of candy. The woman, who ordered under the name of "Krispia", requested the candy to be sent to the old island mansion of the late Von Krispenato. Startled by this odd request, many of the candymakers began to question her intentions. With a smile, the young lady would always reply, “I remember the days when hundreds of children would come out to the island and have such a marvelous time. I merely wish to bring back those times and help people forget the terrible atrocity that occurred so many years ago.” With the day of ghouls creeping ever closer, children have begun to plan out their most clever tricks as well as how best to procure their favorite treats. However, a new factor has come into play this year, for most every family in Rune Midgard has received a very interesting invitation to a most unique sort of celebration. This year’s day of ghouls may very well be one that will never be forgotten. Upon arrival to the island, many parents breathe a sigh of relief as they see hundreds of children already enjoying the island candies. The sound of laughter fills the air, bringing a near nostalgic calm to the island, instantly dampening its horrid past. Parents release their children from their protective clutches, warning them not to stray too far and to stay out of trouble. “Do not worry, Madam,” states a dockhand to one nervous-looking mother, “the island is perfectly safe for your children.” Moments later the newly-arrived children are lost in a sea of candy and merriment. As the last of the boats arrive, a tall man comes to the end of the dock to greet them. Carrying only a lantern, he offers to lead them to the lobby of the mansion, where the other guests have been waiting. By now, a dreary fog has set over the island, blanketing the ground. Children pay no mind, and continue collecting their candy surprises from the island servants while parents make their way to the mansion. At the heart of the island, the guests arrive at the mansion. Eager to join the festivities, they head inside. Immediately, they are overwhelmed by the immense amounts of party favors and refreshments that have been laid out for them. To one side of the Grand Foyer is an elaborate ballroom decorated with exquisite carvings featuring various monsters from all around the world. On the opposing side is another equally elaborate ballroom filled with many various games for the guest’s entertainment. In the middle of the Grand Foyer stands a young woman dressed in a simple long black dress with tiny silver symbols scattered about that appear to move about the gown. She gives a subtle smile and a polite wave to the last of the guests as they enter the mansion. In its current state, one would never guess that these floors were littered with blood stains years ago. As the festivities begin, the young lady walks to the door and begins whispering nonsensical words. When she turns back around, the putrid smell of rotting flesh instantly fills the air. Many guests immediately fall to the floor in sickness. The stone statues break free from their pedestals, sending bits of rubble in all directions before they begin wreaking havoc on the festivities. Fleeing, many guests seek refuge throughout the many rooms of the mansion and those that stay attempt to fight but to no avail. Their terrified screams are muffled, however, by the wailing of the children outside. Their merry cavorting has declined into a panic-stricken run for their lives, as now-evil island servants begin to give chase...
Aaaaaaaand south of the event spawn point will be the Mysterious Statue that opens to the Krispen Mansion's labyrinth. This activity requires a party of FOUR. No more. No less. Maneuver through this honeycomb and complete the required tasks in each room that you encounter. Of course you will receive a prize at the end for completing it. What prize? Well, that's for you to find out. Competition #2 The three parties that complete the honeycomb in the fastest time will win a grand prize as well. Again, first, second and third places will all receive the same grand prize so as long as your party is in the top three times, you will qualify! Do note that the prizes for this competition are different from the Gold Coin competition. This will take brains, brawns, speed, and whatever else you can think of. If you don't succeed the first time, try again. There's always an easier way, you just have to figure it out. Protip: A party can only be considered in the top three once and each winning player can only win once. So it would be a waste if one player was in multiple parties in the top three, now wouldn't it?
And most important of all... ... HAVE FUN AND HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN! |
Alright, quick announcement for everyone who is having trouble getting in the event.
First off, your Sakray is outdated, try to update it. If all else fails, get the Full Installer.
If your connection is slow, however, there are two workarounds.
Workaround #1
Get the following file:
http://forum.talonro.com/sakray/upload/halloweensprite.zip
Extract this file in your RO folder and restart your RO.
Workaround #2
Get the following file:
http://forum.talonro.com/sakray/upload/TalonRO_Renewal.exe (around 100 M
Install it in your RO folder, then open up data.ini and make sure it contains an entry for rdata.grf.
Note: your game skills and some interface buttons will be in Korean, but at least it will work.
To reverse this issue, just rename rdata.grf to something like...rdata2.grf and things will be back to normal again.

Quick fixing reboot
Posted by: GM Seiren on October 26, 2009 - 05:52 PM
No new features this time, just some bugfixes~
- The crashes should (hopefully) be fixed now. From what it looked like, the cause was the no-menu teleport. For that reason we have now disabled this feature again.
- Warp girl in Einbech is back.
- Chiqita's Jewelry Box should be working properly again.
Furthermore, you should now be able to do automated Kaho customizations again. Just go to the Reward Guru -> Item Shops -> Kahos. If you have a kaho currently equipped, it will ask you to customize that. Just select a kaho from the list and it will replace the one you have equipped with the new one.
If you find any bugs/exploits with this new features, tell us ASAP. If we catch anyone exploiting this, you will be perma-banned.
Anyways! We will reboot later this week to implement the Halloween Event, so look forward to that
Halloween Prontera
Posted by: GM Seiren on October 20, 2009 - 11:02 AM
The TalonPatch gets set to work again. Run the patcher and it will implement the Halloween/Autumn Prontera to get in the mood for Halloween!
Of course we also have an awesome Halloween Event in the making. We hope to finish this soon, so expect a fun time around Halloween.
Once Halloween is over, we will of course restore Prontera back to normal, but for now Halloween is in town!
Enjoy~
