Trivia Time!

HeRO has a total of 1258 chars that have a spouse.

Changes were made to the Prontera church to allow same-sex wedding back in October of 2006, just a few days before the server's first birthday. heRO had gay weddings before the UK, Germany, France, Australia and the USA!

More heRO churches were opened in 2007, they were in Hugel and Lutie. In 2009 we added the Allegiance Churches of Glastheim (Dark) and Rachel (Light). 2014 saw the addition of the The Neko Island church. The last addition was the Carandel church in Faeheim in 2018.

Special weddings officiated by a GM have been offered before in the Fairy Auction. There was even one that was hosted at the top of Thanatos Tower!

The V4P system was added in May of 2010. The first gear was Ninja's Scroll (lower), followed by Mask of Goddess (mid). For a long time we tried to alternate between mids and lower headgears. We had to take breaks from adding new headgears when we started to run out, until new ones were released by Gravity. Not long ago, we began adding costumes to the mix instead of gears with effects!

Back in 2010 a Challenge for guilds was added, the Guild Quest. It requires the guild to visit several dungeons and deactivate crystals in each of them. In the span of 10 years, only 5 guilds have managed to complete it. They are: RObots, Roaring Bananas, Aliens, Hellstorm and Ragtag. Currently the Moscovia Guild Hall (a reward of the quest) is held by the Ragtag guild.

Thank you Satos for your latest review!


Today's heRO history trivia is regarding the whereabouts of heRO's custom content. Did you know that heRO has a long history of quests and stories that were planned well over 1 year in advance? For example, the Bee Wing rework was done by players in Test & Development from 2017 to 2018 working meticulously with statistical analysis and mathematical models for well over a year until the team finally agreed on a good balance of what Bee Wings can farm without being overpowered in NPC sell price. Lutia was first released after one year of planning for the first time as a server celebration, then closed for another year of further polishing before its permanent release in 2018. Faeheim and the still-not-released Faeheim Archipelago are planned/written for over 4 years! In fact, the Zodiac Wing quest is one of the first custom quests of heRO, and it's planned by GM-Pandora and the first GMs of heRO almost a year before the server was launched all the way on a summer day of 2004 (where excessive drinking may or may not be involved~)!

Trivia: Occasional Holidays part 1

There are holidays that always have a dedicated quest every year on heRO, such as Christmas and Easter, but other holidays we celebrate only occasionally. Usually it depends on having a gm who wants to host a special event or write a quest. Here are a few examples.

St-Patrick

On various years GM would visit players out in the fields/dungeon and reward them for wearing green (or pinch them otherwise?) we also had mini-quests in 2011 and 2012.


Thanksgiving

For this holiday we mostly did events, such as "Turkey Run" and "Pilgrimage" (featured above). In 2018 we had the Runaway Turkey quest.


Chinese New Year / Lunar Year

Our first Lunar Year Quest was released in 2013 for the year of the Snake, players had to help the zodiac animals. We had a new quest the following year for the Horse. In 2016 we celebrated the Year of the Monkey with yet another quest.
