Loading Screen Contest
Posted by: GM Seiren on July 21, 2008 - 11:05 AM
It's time for some new loading screens!
About everything on the server had a major update, but the current loading screens are over a year old. So it's time for some fresh ideas!
As we have some great artists on the forum, it would be awesome to have art of "our artists" in the loading screens. Several of them have given permission to use their art in the loading screens. You can refer to this topic to find the artists who gave permission.
Requirements
There are a couple of rules that your wallpapers will have to apply to:
- Must be in 1024x768 format
- Needs the title "TalonRO" well visible. You can use any clear font, but you can also use the official logo. For the logo, refer to this topic
- If using the art of one of our artists, do give them proper credit for it (a small text saying "Art by ..." will do)
- Has to be related to RO obviously
Prizes
Naturally there will be prizes to be won! We will pick 10 winners, who will win a prize of 10 Talon Coins.
You can submit as many loading screens as you want, and multiple of your entries can be selected. However, you can only win a prize once.
Deadline
The deadline of this contest will close at August 10 (we love 10's!), so you will have enough time to make some great entries.
If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask them here.
The staff hopes to see some great entries ![]()
Obvious update is obvious

Push CTRL + F5. After doing that, I'm sure I don't need to tell you what the update is (if you don't, just look carefully).
This was a project that me and GM Seiren worked on closely. Big props to him for the new design. There are also some new content as well, which was spearheaded by GM Faith.
The functionality overall has increased as well. There is a new registration page as well, one that is quite a bit more secure than the temporary one. The screenshot/video page is up now as well.
All in all, hope you guys enjoy. Take some time and explore the new site. Please let me know if you find any bugs.
More to come.
++EDIT
The screenshot and video threads have been cleared, so start posting new ones for the site!

Boreas is still alive
Posted by: GM Boreas on July 13, 2008 - 11:56 AM
Yeah really, some of you might have noticed that I was kinda inactive in the last few days.
The reason is simple, I joined the army. Well 'joined', you could say that I was forced to join for 9 months. For the next 3 months I will live 560km from my hometown in some stinky old barracks.
Means that I'm only at home during the weekends, except today. ![]()
Just wanted to stop by and say HELLO and let you know that I'm still alive.
See you all next friday!
Support Ticket Problems
Posted by: Black Talon on July 12, 2008 - 12:46 PM
I've noticed that a few of you had trouble at times updating your tickets with new messages. I looked into it further and I believe it is now fixed. If there are any further issues with the tickets not updating with new posts, please let me know asap so I can fix it.
Post in this thread to let me know if you run into this problem again.
Rise from the ashes!

Not sure how many of you remember, but the fantastic encyclopedia-like board that defies all boundaries of logic and faith has returned!

You can only create a topic to ask Dr. Talon a question, so ask wisely!
Some background info on who Dr. Talon is:
- my alter ego
- has Ph.D in ownology
- has actually beaten Chuck Norris in a fist fight
- Jesus used to ask him questions about life
Need I say more?
