WOE! aka The War of Emperium

[GM-Ayu]

Forgot to update here oops.

Prontera and Payon 4 have opened to be the current castles. The next rotation will be in July for Geffen 5 and Aldebaran 5.

<><><>

In even bigger news, we'll be changing up the WoE point shop in the very near future, along with adjusting WoE points which affects both WoE and Battlegrounds. We hope that the new point system and new shop will further contribute to the resources required in WoE, so that all players can have a bit easier of a time to sustain multiple participation of WoE in our server.

• For each minute of WoE, your WoE point will increase from 1 point per minute to 4 points per minute (you still need to manually register)
  
• Battleground Keys requirement for BG will be removed. BG will only cost zeny.
  
• Free BG per hour will be removed; instead players can BG whenever they want
  
• Due to the removal of free BG, there's no time restriction on when BG can start anymore
  
• Existing Battleground keys will be changed to a consumable to refund your WoE points
  

The WoE Shop for consumables will change to have the following items at new costs:

• Condensed White Potion Box (10 Condensed White Potions): 2 points
  
• War Blue Potion Box (10 War Blue Potion): 5 points
  
• Bless/Agi Scroll Bundle (Contains 10 of each): 5 points (no change)
  
• AD Bottles Box (Contains 25 of each): 8 points
  
• Poison Bottle: 5 points
  
• Cobweb Box (Contains 50): 10 points (no change)
  
• Speed Potion Box (Contains 10): 50 points (no change)
  
• Storage Crystal: 5 points
  
• Guild Megaphone: 10 points (no change)
  
• Glistening Coats Box (Contains 15): 3 points
  
• Yellow Gemstone Box (Contains 30): 3 points
  
• Red Gemstone Box (Contains 30): 3 points
  

WoE Item Rebalance

• War Blue Potion will weight 1, down from 14
  

War Blue Potion will be the only WoE restricted items, to be considerate to Alchemist's blue potion brewing. The shops will provide items that's usable outside of WoE. We recognize that not everyone who participates in Battlegrounds will be in WoE, and if players may see WoE as a way to obtain resources for PvM, then they should be free to do so.


It has been a long time since heRO GM team looked at PvP/GvG aspect of the game. We hope that we'll start with this small change, and hope to have some bigger shakeup in the GvG scene in year 2021 by the summer time.


(Note: info from this post will be edited in heRO wiki whenever the changes are applied on live server. This is all currently in testing, so we hope to roll that out as soon as possible in the first half of May at the latest.)
