WOE! aka The War of Emperium

[GM-Ayu]

In light of multiple controversies and speculations, the heRO GM team will make 2 new official rules regarding how heRO server handles when War of Emperium will be cancelled, and how castle rotation works.



1) War of Emperium will ALWAYS take place as long as the server is available at the start of War of Emperium. If the server is offline when War of Emperium is supposed to start, then War of Emperium will be cancelled with no changes to castle ownership, and chests will not be taken away from the owners of the castles. No "compensations" of any sort will be given to anyone.


This means that War of Emperium will take place regardless if a previous outage take place before WoE. It will be up to the guilds that are interested to participate in WoE to prepare for it regardless of what happens. This also means that heRO will no longer cancel War of Emperium for "other" reasons either, such as but not limited to holidays such as Christmas.




2) Previously, castle rotations were done randomly regarding which castle becomes the Saturday option, and which becomes the Wednesday option. To address players' passionate concerns about which region ought to be on Saturday/Wednesday, we will set a schedule to clear all uncertainties about WoE rotations.

Rotation will now take place after the 3rd Saturday WoE on the scheduled month.

July 2021: Wed- Geffen Sat- Aldebaran
Oct 2021: Wed- Prontera Sat- Payon
Jan 2022: Wed- Aldebaran Sat- Geffen
Apr 2022: Wed- Payon Sat- Prontera

Cycle repeats on an annual basis. This should allow each region and their respective treasure chests to appear on both Saturday and Wednesday WoE once per year. The exact castle will rotate in order of 1 => 2 => 3 => 4 => 5 => 1 and repeat within its region. In the case where a castle has technical difficulties for any reason such that it cannot be used for WoE, it will be "skipped" and the next castle of the same region will replace it.

If new castles are introduced, or old castles are removed, then a new cycle will be created.
