Major Updates Coming Soon

The title says it all. :)

Recent Downtime

To ensure a possible dupe exploit was fixed, the server was down until the fix was properly implemented. I apologize for the extended downtime, but everything should be good to go.

Oh, by the way, I am testing out the auto pickup system. Mithril mines is closer to being finished as well. I am fine tuning the mobs so they are balanced.

Reminder: Siege Times

The sieges this weekend are set at the standard times.

Mithril Mines and Auto Updater

At the end of the week, I should have Mithril Mines completed and several other updates implemented on Athena. As soon as MM is released, ACM will no longer be used as a hunting ground/farming area. There will be three active raid bosses in MM that will have nice drops.

Later this week, I will also release an auto updater. Having an auto updater will make it easier for the community to get server news and get client updates.

Stay tuned for more server news.

Database Maintenance Performed

During the 2 hour downtime, I performed a series of maintenance procedures. I would have normally done this during the night time, but I wanted to prevent any issues as quickly as possible.

Sorry for the extended downtime.

Ultra LMS Event and Siege Information

Thank you everyone who helped test out the Ultra Last Man Standing (LMS) event. Most of the little bugs have been ironed out but there are several modifications that will be added to the event. These additions will help streamline the registration process.

LMS additions will be:


  • Registration vote process for the event to determine who and who not to teleport into the arena.
  • Exclude players that are participating in the olympiad.
  • Change the item rewarded to the winner of the event.
  • A method to track winners of the LMS events via the website.

Sieges times have been set in the database. You should be able to go to the NPC soon to register your clan for the siege.
