    Patch Notes: Version 99
    Released March 19, 2009

    Events

    Jolly Old Jones Spring gift exchange has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated!

    Cash Shop

    Training Esoterica Sale!

    Changes/Fixes

    • Fixed an issue with the Cube of Fate where it would transport you to an empty room upon completion. *Now upon completion of the first 50 rooms, you will automatically be transported to the Cube of Fate Lottery Room. There you will be able to continue through the Lottery rooms (51-60), or return to Fate’s Beginning.

    • Fixed an issue within the Cube of Fate for the Count the Apples and Count the Apples EX where the answer options were not showing up correctly.

    • Fixed an issue where the flying mount animations where sped up

    • Fixed an issue where the ground and water terrain was not displaying properly for some users

    • Fixed an issue where the Embrace function was not animating properly

    Added

    Cube of Fate Deathmatch Arena

    Location: Room 1 Cube of Fate
    Level Requisite: None
    Number of players allowed: 1-6 players per team
    Item Requisite: Stake Stone

    The Deathmatch Arena is an exciting new feature that allows players to put up wagers and battle each other for superiority, bragging rights, and of course, a nice chunk of coins. Players wager Stake stones during the fight, and whichever team wins gets all of the Stake stones used in that battle. Each Stake Stone can be sold to an NPC for 100,000 coins.

    Here’s how to access the Deathmatch Arena:

    Step 1: The Arena Hall
    Enter the Cube of Fate and speak to the Arena Teleporter. He will teleport you to the Arena Hall where preparation for the Deathmatch takes place.

    All parties who wish to participate in the Deathmatch will need to purchase a Stake stone from the Deathmatch Arena Boss. These Stake Stones are the entry fee to enter the Deathmatch itself. Each Stake stone will cost 105,000 coins.

    With these Stake stones in hand, players will then need to speak to one of the Arena Registrar NPCs.

    Step 2: Register
    If you want to fight alongside your friends or against a specific group of players, all players involved must register at the same Arena Registrar NPC.

    For example: If Xarfox, Kantorek, and FrankieRaye want to fight Ironman, Perill, and Shnuggles, they will all have to register with Arena Registrar 04. There are a total of 10 available Arena Registrars.

    Step 3: Choosing a team
    After all players sign up, the Arena Registrar will disappear and the Arena Preparer will appear with twelve chests (6 BLUE, 6 RED). Each player must speak to the Arena Preparer and choose which team they want to be on. After choosing the team, you will then be able to open one of the chests specific to your team and obtain a Blue/Red Arena Team Tag. This Tag identifies you as a member of your team.

    Step 4: Entering the Battle
    After all teams have been decided, the Arena Preparer will disappear and the Arena Doorkeeper will appear. Everyone then speaks to the Arena Doorkeeper to enter the Deathmatch Arena. Remember, it costs 1 Stake Stone each time you want to enter the Battle Arena.

    Step 5: Fight!
    Arena battles last for 5 minutes. During this time, it is RED team versus the BLUE team! The winning team is the team that had the most kills recorded during the Deathmatch. If you die, you can purchase another Stake Stone to re-enter the battle. When the battle timer has run out, the Exit Watcher will appear. Any remaining players can talk to the Exit Watcher to return to the Arena Hall.

    Step 6: Victory!
    To claim their rewards, the winning team must speak to the Blue/Red Prize NPC that will appear in place of your Registrar NPC. The first person from the winning team that speaks to the Prize NPC will receive all the Stake stones used in during the Deathmatch. That player is then in charge of distributing the stake stones amongst his or her team.

    Take these Stake stones to any NPC that has a Trade option and he will purchase them from you for 100,000 coins each.

    Some things to remember:

    1 Stake Stone is required to enter the Fight.

    If you die during the fight, you will be teleported back to the Arena Hall. There you can purchase another Stake Stone and speak to the same Doorkeeper as before to rejoin the fight. You can do this as many times as you like (time permitting).

    You can also find all this information at the Deathmatch Arena Boss.

    A god of death cannot be killed even if stabbed in his heart with a knife or shot in the head with a gun. However, there are ways to kill a god of death, which are not generally known to the gods of death.

    Those should have been added months ago.

    I know people who don't buy fashion anymore because they don't have the inventory room for them.

    OMG.. you can't be serious.. banning venos for glitches and allowing it for other classes is one thing.. but NOW.. not only are you PROMOTING it for other classes, you are REWARDING IT!.. I mean, this new contest can be summed up really easily... "the more zhenning you do this week, the better chance you have of getting a t-shirt"

    that's the biggest bunch of BS I've ever seen!

    actually, it wasn't delayed for nothing.. yesterday was st. patrick's day.. the GMs and Devs decided that green beer was more important

    as for the contest being a scam.. I totally agree.. plus, it promotes zhenning (afk exp).. what's the difference between zhenning and botting? I mean both are afk exp.. why is one ok and one isn't? simple.. zhenning makes PW money.. botting doesn't.

    Charms have always been in the game.

    Training Esotericas have always been in the game.

    The billing page has always been on our website.

    Nope, this has nothing to do with maintenance.

    amazing how you totally ignore the fact that you're rewarding people for glitching the system..

    yes, training scrolls, charms, etc.. have always been in the game.. rewarding people for burning through them quickly is promoting the use of the glitch (zhen).. and rewarding people for using said glitch..
