It's hard to believe it's been 3 years already, so much has happened, so many people and wonderful experiences. I'm happy to announce (for those who don't know) that the server will celebrate it's 3rd birthday on October 15th 2008. We've got an eventful week planned for our dear heroes our this occasion ^_^ We will make sure to celebrate the server's third birthday with style!

Thanks to Yumera for this pretty drawing ^_^

Birthday Questing!

We also cooked up a special Birthday Quest accompanied by a unique heRO gear, see Pandelina in center Prontera. The quest is rather short, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering you got 1 week to complete it. We planned a nicer reward for the Veterans of the server, to show our gratefulness to those who supported the server through the years, but newcomers have not been forgotten either don't worry.

heRO Server ~ Reaching Beyond Infinity!

Last but not least, we have designed our own version of the Infinity Tower which is a new dungeon on the official servers. It's different from the original, but we hope it will be just as fun. For the duration of the birthday week only a GM can open the pathway, but after players will be able to do it too providing they meet certain condition(s). More information on the heRO Infinity Tower to come soon.
