Introducing our new content introduction system

Adding new content takes a long time and a lot of testing. We go from a concept to a rough draft, then test server implementation, then testing and finally main server early access and finally quests. A single set of items can take weeks and the pace is much too slow for a mid rate server. However even after all that testing, we still need to rebalance items, so just adding content at a fast pace is also not the solution since it can ruin BG and other events. As a result we are now returning to our babylon expansion with a few addons.

The babylon expansion will have its own set of rules. Items attained in babylon will only be useable in babylon maps and devil square. This gives us a lot of creative freedom without infringing on the much demanded balance. We can add renewal content, rush out custom sets and items without the risk of these items breaking any existing content. For example.

Bi Frost Tower: https://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=areainfo&area=1050&re_mob=1

• This tower, has been added in its entirety. You can access it from the second bi frost field. Its a path branch as soon as you enter the field. We have added all the monsters and items as they are seen here. The only nerf that has been applied is the def and mdef, which have been converted to pre renewal same reduction %. There is a tool for this so it's easy.
• All the items that are useable or cards, are limited to Devil square and babylon expansion. Keep in mind bifrost belongs to babylon expansion so the items will work here.
• To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how some of the consumables work, they use renewal skills. But it doesn't mater much. You can go and get the items and test it all out live. If you as the comunity feel that certain items are fair play to be added to the rest of the server, then we will remove their limits and they will work everywhere. - Most of the ites fromm Bifrost tower are perfectly fine, but we need to get started somewhere.

What's to come?

• Bypass tickets from Devil square.
  • We wish to continue to encourage players to do devil square and grow the event. Next update, DS level 3 rewards will include passes directly to bifrost tower. You will be limited to the tower, but this makes it so you can bypass the storyline and quests for a certain period of time and gain access to specific content.
• PvP babylon room - this will allow the use of all babylon items so people can actually use their god items as well as test out any gear they find
• Much more content, both custom and renewal. There is 10 years worth of renewal content we can play around and adjust to pre renewal. Not all of it will be useable, but a lot of it is actually very interesting and can fit in perfectly fine with pre-renewal if adjusted properly.
  • Sorry I have no intention of playing around with the classes, 3rd and 4th jobs, you will have to go to a renewal server for that.
• Star gladiator set, wizard set, troll priest set??? - nihad's dumb idea, sinx soul breaker set
• Babylon city - this will become the new main town once it is opened by the storyline
