The information is the correct :3 As for the looks; *Hair style-23 *Hair dye-default *Clothing dye-145 <<<<<Sacred orange. <<<<<ROP should be golden. This one's to show ROP, it doesn't exist on rms. Thank you. Edit; Problems with the image visualization, seems to be fixed now. ^^

I agree. Think of class diversification, you might have your favorites, but sometimes you want a refreshment from the class you're currently using, or just try a different one you might be interested in. Players who posses more resources can buy any belts they want and change class much easier, while players with less must stick to the same character always because gearing up a new character can take quite a lot of time. That'd benefit newer players who can only afford(for the time being) a single pair of belts, while not jeopardizing their time of play with long waits for someone interested in aquiring/trading their belts. There's also the possibility of trying different belts for testing many builds without having to expend too much or wait too much. I think the idea brings only benefits, and mostly to the players who can use all the help they can get; our newcomers.

i'll have to agree with Xtopher, WhiteSmiths still have a very long way to go in order to become a practical solid class able to hold its own(pvp) and help allies(woe). It'd be amazing if only Whitesmiths could have the weight boost on their cart. But as he said, Creators shouldn't be benefitted like this at all; they also suffer from being underpowered, but this boost to them would just accentuate their annoyance as slaves, not make them more viable for maining. As such, i agree with both 2(i would like to say the bonus on atroce cards ONLY for merchant classes could be +1000 even, whitesmiths been suffering from underpower for a while and no changes seen to fix it...try something drastic like this number and see if that works!) and 3(increasing or at least letting them stack fully), but unfortunatelly, i'll have to disagree with 1.

The problem is I don't think its good for balance at all. I'd fully agree with lowering the time of FCP wasn't for the fact strip is easily accessible by just about anyone, every and each class is able to inflict each effect of strip(Drill Katar, Metaling, Wickebine, Warlord, Baby Leopard/Leaf Cat/Amistr/Wild Rose hats). When you were not on FCP, you'd look out for stalkers and as long as you avoided them successfully, you'd be alright, as it stands without FCP you know you'll be having your defenses(up to 70% reductions), HP and even your ability to use skills flying off the window soon even if no stalkers are present. Another reason why stalkers needed so many buffs in order to become a solid class; their specialty was taken away. So, since only one class is able to counteract it, as every class is able to inflict it, it isn't fair to mess with its duration. Because you have everyone (every class can strip) against one(only creators can protect against it)...how's that fair&balanced? Depending so much on a single class(on even shorter intervals than we already have to) for defending against something extremely dangerous that anyone can do anytime. Should someday the chemical protection scrolls come back, I'll surely agree with your suggestion then, it isn't a bad suggestion, but I believe the scenario doesn't favor it in a balancing analysis, since we have who strips VS who protects against it with a result of 1 VS over 14. And it is the original timespan of the skill after all.

Look into this point of view; Professors, Wizzards, Stalkers and Snipers are dependant on their weapons to be able to simply act. A metaling card can completely cripple them on the spot if they're not protected. The server is extremely gear-oriented, stripping is an very cruel tactic. With 'Stalkers are over-reliant on their strip' i mean; Full Strip should be the trump card up their sleeve...not their bread and butter, and the same applies to all stripping strategies that don't belong only to stalker. As it stood, Stalkers would win easily as long as they could strip, and lose just as easily if they couldn't, this scenario is proof of weakness of the class. Now you look at this bigger picture; For the last months/years of FRo, STR-oriented classes where undisputed as the DEX and INT based ones where always eclipsed by them. Through buffs given by new items released, INT and DEX classes are now up to par to them in many scenarios, that, my good player, is balance; fair chance to all in the same environment. Make no mistake; high rates revolve around damage and good gear. Skills such as Lex Divina, Dazzler and Hammerfall which were keys to some jobs became useless in this scenario, so they must adapt. Even on full strip, a high leveled Sinx, Wizzard, High Priest, etc, was still functional on a low rate standard, in a high rate that revolves so much around gear such as ours, Full Strip would be equivalent to a skill that makes a 99/70 into a 10/1, being such a powerful debuff that strip is, and accessible to all for use through rare cards and items turn common, it needs a counter up to par, which the easy access to FCP makes up for just in the right measure. Even if FCP lasted half of what it does, simply walking up to someone and hitting them for 30 seconds and have them drop(thus dispelling the buff), is much easier than waiting for 5 minutes so you can strip As conclusion; FCP's duration is fine as it is(it wasn't altered in the server or anything, it is like this in its original programation). The reason why it should stay as is; many, if not all, classes currently need and rely on their gear in order to so much as simply DO something, that's how the server is. Strip in most cases is just a 'one shot win'. In my oppinion, who wants to just strip and rely on it too much is just someone who wants to score easy wins; strip should be a side strategy to use once in a while on a tight spot...not a main Modus Operandi.

The damage reduction on Stalker's Bow was removed and I believe Stalkers in general are now in a balanced position, I don't see any reason to modify FCP; the weakest link of Stalkers was being over-reliant of their strip, what was fixed with a wide variety of strong skills now copiable and a strong weapon with viable survivability. In a general concept Stalkers are a perfectly fine class currently. As for sniper's strip, I do believe it comes in handy sporadically, a change for Endure could be more useful, the strip was suggested to a sniper dagger after all.

It has been tested by the GM team(me included). The amount of memory necessary for the server to maintain itself for a single monster's sprite and AI is derisive, even if by the thousands. It is much easier to disconnect any players on the map rather than slowing the server down even one bit. But because of their multiplying abilities, their drop 'Gold' has been removed on our server. That was the only significant problem with their ability. No reason to meddle with this skill of the Mi Gaos, its actually quite amusing seeing so much bouncing sand balls ^^

Mine is kinda new, the list was helpful! Added everyone and accepted all those who've added me. Had requested add before; *Genesis *Wish *Memory *Lyris *Passion *Justice *Ryuk *Aurora Added back; *Manifest *Veracity *Noir *Flair Waiting to be added to; *Shield *Prestige *Enlightment *Cloud

Here goes; Sources are hand & tablet, photoshop CS3. I really like wolves ^^ Was looking foward to this theme to work something on them. Almost lost the time for entering! Saw the theme after woe! xD

This is my entry for this week. Disney theme made instantly think of Mulan, always was a fan of oriental culture AND strong girls so...Mulan is not only a beautiful tale but also inspiration. By far my favorite from Disney. It shows a lot of the culture of medieval China, with the martial arts, scenery and the whole 'women-object' and how one of them gives the first step to change society by actually saving it. Sources are once again, hand&Tablet.

It goes without saying, and I'm pretty sure most of you here already know or heard it, but we can never leave up one opportunity to enforce it once again; Never, under any circunstances, give your password to anyone. If you trust someone, do it at your own risk, but we do not recomend it. The GM Team will never ask for anyone's password no matter what. Although...I'm glad this one experience described here was more remarkable for its hilarious outcome xD If by any chance you could give any clues about this imposter, try and help us catch him though. Other, less experienced players, could happen to not have as much luck as you did.

I've created an image for my friend with the theme of Gun, I'll be entering it on this SoTW in Signature version ^^ Once again, resources are hand & tablet.

I'm not censoring anyone's free speech, apparently you are gifted with a pair of eyes so read carefully; Posts of a single word with no insight to them count as spam, so yes, you did breach a rule, spam is spam on the main page or in the rant page, it doesn't make any difference, you got the warning, do that again and the rule shall be enforced, post deletion and warn increase is the punishment for first infraction so slide off while you still have the chance. Your opinion though is entitled to you, express it without spam-like posts.

Your(irrelevant and disdaining) comment falls straight into that category, and see this; even the exemple used! Isn't this fascinating? Her story is no LOLing matter sir, avoid doing that in the future.

That is correct. Never trust anyone claiming to be a GM and asking for your in-game info. The GM team will never, under any circunstance, ask you for your Password. Specially GM Genesis and GM Relinquish. It is also very unlikely that a GM will contact you if you didn't contact them first. For future reference, use @request in-game or the ticket system whenever you need to contact us. At the very least, always confirm who you talking to really is who they say they are. I'll recomend your friend to file a ticket with all leads she might've gotten during the ordeal, such as the character that contacted her in game, items lost and such. GM impersonation is probably the worst breaching a player can do, an efficient report might still give her belongings back as well as a fitting punishment for the culprit.

I really would like to see this happen. Shield Chain is a very good, useful and strong skill that unfortunately loses all its power when brought into HighRate standards.

The Event is still in phases of improvement, some items that shouldn't be allowed are getting through, and some perfectly legit items are being blocked. So agreed with your first statement because it is already being worked on. In my first suggestion for the event when it was on the verge of being released was that no MvP cards to be allowed at all, but only Thanatos Card was blocked. In the end after witnessing the event and participating i came to the conclusion that the Cards are all fine seeing the number of slots is much inferior. So i really think GTB, Kiel and all the others should stay. The Strip skill is also okay; as much as in iRO stripping required more work, so did making Glistening Coats and applying FCP. Creators in iRO have to decide between these three skills; Full Chemical Protection(which has a long cast time), Acid Demonstration(which is very expensive for low rate standards having no bottles in a NPC shop) and Throw Condensed Potion(vital for survival of the creator and team). In short; Stripping is very easy with 250+dex, getting 100 Glistening Coats for 3 coupons and Instant Casting FCP is just as easy. The Event is Party based; if a stalker is being a trouble for you, bring a friendly Creator and case closed. And the event is supposed to be a closer experience to the original RO, but not a complete carbon copy, for that we'd have to allow only chars whose level don't exceed 99/70.

Do your best everyone! Looking foward on working with you. Veracity and respect is key, keep that in mind.

Every time I log on, I disconnect everyone of them standing within a 3 cell radius of the decarding NPC. Making a overpricing shop is part of their rights; blocking an important NPC, is not. They always come back though. I understand how this can be annoying. As a player and including requests of "These merchants are blocking the decarding NPC!".

I didn't notice that the entry should contain the class name on it... Oh well! A quick make up here and there and...voila!

Thank you Annie and Thank you Justie :3 Well! I thought my specification in the first sentence was enough, but then I'll edit with the specific data. But dun lose determination! You need to post yours too! XD
