Hello everyone,
Good and bad news. I'd like to start with the bad news first. Apparently certain players can't help but keep exploiting whatever can be exploited, even after we've warned them.
We have enough of this and are going to start banning accounts that have been reported (and proved) to exploit. Unfortunately some players went as far as involving their friends'
accounts into this. The friends' accounts that have been caught to play a part will be banned as well. Hopefully this reminds you who your friends are, that they are players that
would risk your safety for their own selfish sake.
By saying this, we are not (only) referring to the immunity bug, but particularly to the Faction War dual clienters. From today on, players that get caught dual clienting will
be banned without further warning. If you wish to play the Faction War with brothers, sisters or parents in the same household, be so kind to inform us by mailing to: Contact@WarfareRO.com
If you do so you will be considered as a exception. We will, of course (again to prevent abusers), keep close track on those who have submitted a e-mail to see if they're not
trying to fool us. So if you're caught having a idling character(s) that is according to your e-mail your "brother" and/or "sister", you will be considered as dual clienter and thus banned as well!
Please, avoid this by simply following the rules, we do not want to ban any more players!
If worst comes to worst, if we can't seem to stop rule violators, we will have to re-add the IP check again, which would be really unfortunate for the actual families that want to play
the Faction War together! Please, don't make us do this!
-----------------------------------
Now to the good news and updates~
The ETA for this update is 3 hours at most, and 1 hour at least. Apologies for the long downtime, but we really need this time to test everything thorough!
Please remember to patch once the server is back up. If you don't, you're going to be completely lost!
Thank you for understanding!

Now to the good news and updates~
- We're going to add a refreshing new Prontera. No worries, it is not a complete makeover. The textures will remain the same most likely. But there will be more plants/trees, a
more suitable statue in the center, more benches, and two new side-roads (which one way will lead to the mall and the other way will be an area for vends). - We're going to add in a "Donation/Vote Room" option in the warper under "Special Areas". In this room we'll put all the Cash Point based NPCs (i.e: Donation/Vote Shop, Safe Refiner,
Safe De-carder, Gender- & Namechanger, etc) - ^That being said, the actual mall map will become empty. We've decided to keep this map but put all the Quest NPCs in here; Kaho quest, Middle Headgear quest, Faction
equipment quest, and the soon-to-come Lower headgear quest. - There will be a Card Remover available that does not require Cash Points. Take note that this is the official Athena Card Remover, that comes with the chance to break equipment
or card upon de-carding an item! - Wedding, Summer & Christmas color palettes will from now on be ignored (thus remain as the default palettes), so players will no longer crash.
- From now on, Quest skills will be reset along with every other skill if you reset skills to avoid skill points further being bugged out.
- The @duel delay has been changed from 60 minutes to 0 seconds - with other words, @duel will have no delay.
- The Homunculus level cap of 99 has been increased to 255.
- We have added more lower headgears, and given them universal stats as well! Please check them out in the Warper->Special Areas->Donation/Vote Room!
- A Faction War (3 vs 3) battle will be available. This event will run at XX:10, but only at peak times (for now)! It will not interfere with the Faction War (2 vs 2), this
event will still run normally every hour. For more information about the peak hours, please check the Event Board! - We have changed the Faction War times from :45 into :40, so when the 3 vs 3 Faction War runs at peak hours, there are a clean 30 minutes in between the battles.
- We have changed the War Coin Machine prices, because we added a second Faction War. The items in there were to cheap to begin with, some players are already
running around with multiple excellent weapons. - A "Change Faction" option is now available in the Faction Helper. This requires Cash Points because we don't want players hopping back and forth between Factions.
- The immunity the bot checker grants has been removed due to exploiters that got the immunity from a bot map, @load'ed back to town and decided to do the MVP arena with said immunity.
- The WarfareRO City Guide NPC will temporarily be removed because of the many NPC cordinates we're going to change. He'll probably be added back later on, but getting
all those cordinates right will take quite some time, and this update we think is big enough for now! - The last kill reward into the Faction War has been fixed, you'll now normally get your last War Coin!
- The Universal Taming Item has been moved from the Donation/Vote Shop into the Event Token Trader.
The ETA for this update is 3 hours at most, and 1 hour at least. Apologies for the long downtime, but we really need this time to test everything thorough!
Please remember to patch once the server is back up. If you don't, you're going to be completely lost!
