    GM Events : Player Appreciation Update - August 2, 2016

    Greetings Rohanians!

    As we continue towards our goal of providing our player's new and exciting content, we would like to introduce the following changes made to our event system, and events themselves!

    Event Timing
    Our old Event system was put in place a long time ago and was starting to feel out of date. Events were scheduled throughout the month, but without a pattern or a proper prize structure in place. Our solution to our player's request for better prizing is now being addressed with the updated Event system! Instead of having various events throughout the day randomly spaced throughout the month, we are now dividing our events into 2 different types; Daily and Weekly.

    Daily Events
    Daily Events are events that are hosted almost every day. The items won on these events are ones that feel much better than the old rewards, but are not so overpowered that we don't feel comfortable releasing them out in bulk to our players. Events of this frequency will be ones that players can feel good participating in OR winning without a a significant time investment into the event. With this content update; there are only 2 Daily Events scheduled for now, but new ones will be introduced in time and cycled with the current daily events, always providing new opportunities for our players to win some great and FREE stuff!

    Weekly Events
    Weekly events are going to be events that are hosted twice a day, once a week. These are going to be events that happen less frequently than Daily events, but will have an improved prize pool to compensate for their increased rarity. These events will also feature more unique mechanics than before, with them testing and pushing our players to new and different experiences in the event system. There are currently 3 Weekly events scheduled for the time being, with even more being developed and worked on; there will be plenty of variety and exciting prizes to keep our players engaged and satisfied. Again, these events are completely FREE, and just require your participation to enjoy!

    Event Changes
    With the events being upgraded and tweaked, there have been various changes and updates made to the Events and their prizing structure.

    Increased Event Difficulty

    Changed Event Objective
    Increased Boss Spawn Rate
    Increased GM Event Participation
    Increased Spawning of the more popular Boss Monsters

    Synopsis: The Chaos Summon Event has been a player favorite for a while, but it was time to be updated! Instead of randomly spawning monsters outside of Limestone, this event has now been given a designated area and purpose! Now taking place at the Traitor's Guillotine area in Del Lagos, players must work together to kill waves of monsters to spawn enemy bosses! As players continue fighting their way through harder and harder waves of enemies, more and more bosses will spawn. How far will our players be able to get!?

    Event Name: Hephasto the Slaying God Event → Battle of the Gods

    Event Frequency: Weekly

    New Event Prizing:
    Server Wide Reward: 3-hour 100% EXP Boost (Maximum of 2x a day)
    First Place: Harmony Seal(3 Days) x1
    Agreement Seal)3 Days) x1
    Badge of Victory x3
    Participation: N/A

    Event Changes:
    Added Server-wide Reward
    Removal of Hephasto
    Introduction of the 4 New Gods : Eris/Hades/Ares/Hecate
    Increased Event Difficulty
    Introduction of Bothan Penitentiary Event Criteria
    Changed Event Objective
    Increased Boss Spawn Rate
    Increased GM Event Participation

    Here's the boost schedule:
    12AM schedule: Boost starts at 1:30AM PDT and ends at 4:30AM PDT
    5PM schedule: Boost starts at 6:30PM PDT and ends at 9:30PM PDT

    Synopsis: The old Hephasto Event was getting a little stale for our veteran players, so we have completely redone most of the event! Now, instead of fighting a boss and then the various minions spawned after killing it, players will be assaulting the Bothan Penitentiary area south of Limestone Foothill in an attempt to stop these new gods from getting a foothold on R.O.H.A.N.! Players will wait for the event to start on the 2 bridges allowing access into the area, and will need to fight through the various boss monsters and guards on their way into the innermost stronghold where the boss resides. It will take a group of your friends to take down the boss, and don't underestimate your enemies! With the ability to summon more guards, and with dramatically increased stats from Hephasto, these new Gods mean business! It will take a coordinated effort from you and your friends to defeat these powerful new threats to the R.O.H.A.N. world!

    Want to see when these new events will take place? Check out our Event Calendar for the dates and times for these new events!

    Our players are very important to us, and constantly providing them with better and funner online experiences is what we are striving for. Wanting to switch things up from how they were in the past, these new events should help facilitate the needs and wants of the players. We have made it easier to get Badges of Bravery, EXP Boosts and other items our players have been asking for for some time now. We also wanted to make the events feel more exciting and interactive; with increased GM participation, it will feel more like our players are playing with the GM's leading the event, versus just participating in one. As our players reach higher and higher power levels, we have also increased the difficulty of the events; The new replacements for Hephasto the Slaying God are at least 10x stronger than Hephasto ever was!

    Are you ready for these new changes? Get your friends together, and see if you can handle the new challenges together!
