SVN customisation:

I know how some of you want to be exactly as close as possible to Gravity's servers. However heRO is unique and we do modify certain aspects to fit with our server. Consider that we have a much smaller population than kRO/iRO and we're also much different from them. Please try to keep an open mind about the changes we make. It's very tiring if every single decision we take is debated, flamed and argued about.

I wont write everything in this list it would be too long, you know the custom pet tame and some custom headgears drop from monsters. I'll keep the superfluous information out.

So far we changed:
~ Allow teleport skill in Amatsu Dungeon
~ Storage Space from 300 to 500!
~ Added 2 Arc Angeling spawn (1 in Toy Factory, 1 in "Poring Island")
~ Range of Sight set to 5 -> then set to 4
~ Range of Ruwach set to 4 -> then set to 3
~ Disabled Godly Items NPCs (it was like that on heRO already)
~ Removed Voting Kafra/Cool corps NPCs (it's dungeon warp and we already got warpers)
~ Removed Novice Castle warp and warper
~ Added Healer and Banker to every town up to and including Rachel (but not Vein, it's empty anyway).
~ Added Warpers to new town and dungeons, save for Geffenia which requires the Sign quest to open.
~ Immobile Plants/Mushroom don't give exp (wasn't changed by us, it's eAthena)
~ Main will be purple with default client (I'll release alternative color clients)
~ Added iFris spawn at Thor lvl 3 (it wasn't there in our stable version, but it's in the trunk so we copied it from there) -> Removed.
~ Added a level 75 requirement to the Ice Cave MVP Quest to prevent abuse.
~ Slotted Glasses/Sunglasses will no longer drop from OPB (as changed by gravity), but are available at low chance from hatter quest (custom to heRO).
~ Added a fee of 5k to Cursed Water Fountain to prevent abuse.
~ Added 3 new player command: @pettalk @homtalk @partyoption
~ Fee to unlock Rachel Sanctuary has been lowered from 500M to 150M (price for the whole server together).
~ Bait price was slightly increased, to 15k for 100 baits.
~ Valkyrie mob spawn time increased (not the MVP one, the miniboss)

Monster drop change:
~ Cursed Water from Fake Angel 30% -> 6%
~ Cursed Water from Violy 30% -> 6%
~ Violin[4] from Violy 15% -> 6%
~ Evil Wing from Arc Angeling 0.05% -> 1%
~ False Angel Wings from Fake Angel 0% -> 75%
~ Atroce Ring[1] and OPB drops reduced.
~ Valkyrie Shield drop reduced.
~ Added Heroic Emblem at low chance to High Orcs
~ Added Poring Hat at low chance to Porings
~ Increased drop rate of Poring Card
~ Increased drop rate of Nursing Bottle from Garm Baby

New SVN known issues:

~ All custom headgears and wings will appear incorectly if currently worn on your character, simple unequip-requip to solve this.

~ Login is case sensitive! (Watch out for those lowercase/uppercase letters)

~ Peco riders are not shown on peco when in the selection screen (until you get a new peco?).

~ CP is Currently Down T_T Will work on fixing it soon.
