The Guild Migration Package (gmp)

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:58:42 -0700

Joining DestinaRO as a new guild or player has never been better. To make life easier and less of a hassle, DestinaRO is now offering a GMP (Guild Migration Package). Your probably wondering what this is right? Well let me give you a few ideas of what this is, and how to get it:
New guilds that join DestinaRO of 7 or more people (though some exceptions can be made) will be giving the following items to the leader, to distribute evenly among his/her guild members:

Items & Stuff
• Emperium
• Battle Manual | +100% EXP for 1 hour
• Bubble Gum | +100% Drop Rates for 1 hour.
• Agility Box | Contains scrolls, that buff you with level 10 Increase Agility
• Bless Box | Contains scrolls, that buff you with level 10 Blessing
• Assumption | Contains scrolls, that buff you with level 5 assuption
• Box of Enriched Elu | Contains Enriched Elunium
• Box of Enriched Ori | Contains Enriched Oridecon
• Free +2 upgrade to any weapon/or armour (restrictions apply)
........and much more
(PS: The amount of items given to the guild, will be dependent on the amount of players switching/moving over)

Assistance
Your new guild will ALSO be assisted by a GM, to help your new form guild level up, such as hosting private DB events, and best part is, it won't be just for the day, but throughout the week.

DestinaRO's GMP Goal:
DestinaRO's GMP's goal is to help new guilds better prepare for woe, because we all know, starting new on a server that has NEVER wiped (and never will) is always tough, but our job isn't to make things hard for you, but to make things fun and entertaining. So if your up for the challenge.

A little more about this........
What makes all of this even more interesting? With the new GMP, many new guilds are showing interest, and the challenge of it? Is to face off against veterans who have been playing DestinaRO for a long time, and they've been a little edgey its time the new generation of guilds come and show them their place=] and to TOP things off, we will be holding a 2x EXP/JOB event on August 27th on Friday, it will go on until September 1st, Wednesday, and that's not even all of it. Afterwords on September 1st, Wednesday the drop rates will be increased from 10x to 20x until September 6th, Monday. So not only will you be able to level up faster, but you will then after grinding/exp'ing away, you will then be able to look for those items you'll be needing!

Advertising Of Another Server

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 07:58:18 -0700

As mention in the rules, advertising of another server is NOT allowed, anyone found doing so will be permanently banned along with all their account(s). For all current DestinaRO players, if you find some one doing such things, please report them, you will be awarded in-game =)

Make sure you take a screenshot as proof, thanks <3

Castle Rotation Fe & Autotrade Timer

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:04:35 -0700

Scarlet Palace at Payon is the new location for WoE FE.

Also, currently there is a 5 day autotrade kick timer. After 5 days, your autotrade vend will close. This timer will however be change to 10 days. If you are noticing less vends around, that would be the reason. The purpose of this feature is to remove stale vends, and encourage users to update their shops.

Item Description Updates

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:00:18 -0700

Want the latest item descriptions before they come out on the DestinaRO Patcher? You can download the update from here!!

Simply place the files from inside the archive into the data folder of your DestinaRO directory. If the data folder does not exist in the DestinaRO game directory, please create it. Yes, you will need to extract the num2itemdesctable.txt and idnum2itemdesctable.txt from the .7z archive in order to use them.

These files will be later added to the patcher.

Valhalla Trader Bug

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 05:02:42 -0700

If you plan on buying Bloody Branches from the Valhalla Trader (7,500,000 zeny each), make sure NOT to buy too many at one time. There is a bug in the script with buying BB. The script only counts the weight for the amount you input, but does not factor in a times 2 effect. Cause you receive 2 BB for each 1 amount, and the script only counts the amount atm; and if you buy more then you can carry, they will drop to the floor, and you will have to try and save them. If this does happen to you, SCREENSHOT it immediately, with your cursor over the item, then try and rescue them from off the floor, if possible. Evidence of the event helps you in getting them back.

Edit: this bug has been fixed.

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:28:40 -0700

� Maintenance Updates �

[GM] Valkyrie Battle Room - ALPHA 0.2 - Added a new skill. Adjustments to existing skills. Remade the menu system.
Research Series - Ziegfried Quest - v1.0 - First version. Added Ziegfried Quest!
Item Database Repairs - Adjusted the following items to work correctly: 5448, 5449, 5360, 5396, 5404, 5378, 5214, 5293, 5467, 14447, 4451, 4450, 5548, 5332, 5462, 13038. Set the following items to not allow refinement: 2777, 2778, 2779, 2780, 2781, 2782, 2783, 2787, 2788, 2789, 2790, 2791, 2794, 2795, 2796, 2797, 2798, 2799, 5470. Instructions given to be applied on next server reboot, that will fix all refined accessories, and 1 mid-headgear, to 0 refinement level in the database. Further notes: I found the Entweihen Card active with overkill stats in the item_db2.txt. A player in-game that had the card already, showed me the power it has. It's for real!! Anyways, item balance applied.
Valhalla Trader - This NPC will serve as a zeny sink to the economy, to help combat inflation. The items provided are balanced and acceptable, with reasonable prices assigned to each item that is sold. A fixed number of consumables are sold, as well as only 4 headgears are available. The event runs every two weeks, for two days on the weekend. The headgears are randomly selected from a list of 108. The event will not offer the same headgears that were available the last two weeks ago.
Warp Agent - v1.8 - Moved the Vending Arena to a new map. Added VT to the script and moved it to the Vending Arena. VT will now run auto.
Advanced Banker - v1.2 - Set max deposit/draw to 99mil.
Nidhoggur Quests - v1.2 - Fixed a bug with the Dandelion Member not appearing if somebody who is not participating in the quest kills the monster. Adjusted the name of the kill switch to match the name of the file. Loner's Box has been fixed. Portal Switch has been fixed. (Tenshi07, Chilly)
Black Hole Survivor Event - v1.8 - Bugfix to the Black Hole effects. White Lady Pet has been banned from the event. Changed '#ret_ip$' to '@ret_ip$'. Changed the Monday start time to 07:00 Hour.
Private Rooms - v1.7 - Bugfix to renting a room. Random bug would cause you to lose the room, and then you would get stuck and couldn't rent a room anymore. Changed '#ret_ip$' to '@ret_ip$'.
Bloody Branch Quest - v1.7 - Fixed some typos.
Dungeon Chest Event - v1.8 - Changed the start time to 20:00 hours server time.
Mobile Weddings - v1.6 - Fixed a bug with the reject option.

Downtime

Wed, 19 May 2010 06:10:15 -0700

Do not panic! DestinaRO is still alive, just visiting the hospital. This is very rare indeed for the server to be sick. But do not fear, since us staff are working on getting it back up online and operational asap. I'm sure it's safe to assume that there will be some kind of compensation to the players of DestinaRO, who have been patiently waiting for the server to return. More information will be available soon, as well as the return of the server. What to do while you wait? Voting for the server is always appreciated. Also our forums are available and active for you to enjoy during the server downtime.

[gm] Sphere On Holidays

Sun, 02 May 2010 00:05:44 -0700

Dear players of DestinaRO

I will be going away on holidays from the 3rd of May, to the 10th of May. This however does not mean that there will be no Game Masters to moderate the server. I am not the only staff member who works here. This is not a case of, while the cat is away, the mice goto play. If you are reported for breaking the rules, you will receive punishment if judged guilty. Also, I foresaw that something like this might happen one day, and made it so that events would run automated. Basically, business will be as usual.
