Here's a sneak preview of what's up and coming after the launch of V2.9 next Thursday, 23 October 2008! Once again, dates and event mechanics are tentative.

GAME CONTENT RELEASE SCHEDULE



COMMUNITY EVENTS

16 October: [In-Game Event] Novia Execution - Bach & Rembrandt

The Queen wishes to pay a social visit to the new worlds, Bach and Rembrandt.However, due to time constraints, The Queen can only visit one of these worlds! Since her daughter has been demanding for the Ice Wizard Tower to become her new ice-skating rink, The Queen has decided the perfect way for the 2 worlds to prove their worth: The 2 servers are to compete each other against time in killing Novia! The world who first executes Novia and posts a screenshot onto the forums first will get to see The Queen!

The date and time of Queen’s visit has yet to be fixed, it all dependent on the residents of Bach and Rembrandt. So, what are you waiting for? Do the necessity to welcome The Queen of Granado Espada, Bach and Rembrandt!

18 October: [In-Game Event] Newbie Faction Formation


This will be the official formation date of the Newbie Faction for new players joining Granado Espada. Our objectives are to lend a helping hand to these players, such as providing them with useful tips and tricks, introduction of lower level game mechanics/features to them, marking of milestones for them and allowing them networking and socializing opportunities with other low level players. There will also be weekly newbie tours every weekend, where we will bring players to low level raid maps and dungeons.

31 October: [In-Game Event] Trick or Treat?

LATEST UPDATE: Event cancelled due to bugged Event Zone on LIVE server.

It’s Halloween again and all kinds of trivia will be asked about Halloween. The person who gets the correct answers will be asked by the GM whether he/she wants a trick or treat. Tricks would generate monster spawns while treats would generate mini prizes to be won. Be sure not to become greedy and keep asking for treats! Or consequences may be dire…

1 November: [Forum Event] Quest Master

Always wanted to see your story become a reality? Pen down your story and WE will create an in-game event for the whole community revolving around your story. The community will submit their stories and we will select one of these stories and craft an in-game mechanics around it.

8 November: [In-Game Event] Newbie Tour Kickoff

This is the kickoff date of the first Newbie Tour. This Newbie Tour will bring them through low level quests, Super Fights and Raid Maps. The Newbie Tour series will take place on a weekly basis, with the assistance of the Community Crew and Player Moderators.

1-30 November: [In-Game Event] War of Factions III

Who will dominate the new worlds of Bach and Rembrandt? The stakes just grew higher in November with the comeback of War of Factions. Certain colonies in the world map will yield a special package of prizes for the factions who conquer it each week. Points will be allocated to these factions and the top 2 (or maybe 5?) factions who get the most number of points will have a final PvP showdown.

14 November: [In-Game Event] Pets Day

Calling all pet owners! Bring your pets down to the Event Zone for a day of bonding and PvP (Pet VS Pet). A series of mini events involving pets and their owners will be held, such as pet races and loot picking competitions will be held.

28 November: [In-Game Event] The Underground Trivia Quiz

How much do you know about what’s underneath in The Underground? We’ll be quizzing you on the secrets of the culverts and beyond.

how will the new 2.9 cilent program be distributed?

Anonymous said...

I don't see the release date for the pets... Will it be next thurs?

Hrin said...

Re: exigo
V2.9 will be distributed in 3 ways:

1) Download manual patch from mirror websites (Listing should be up tomorrow)

2) Download full client from mirror websites (Listing should be up tomorrow)

3) Mini 5MB patches will be auto-downloaded to your GE client everytime you log in, so that you will receive the full client by the launch of V2.9 (Least advisable way)

Re: vonUtteresk
Grabber will be released next Thurs. Buppet released in December. I'll release the schedule next month instead. Don't wanna information overload you guys right now :)

Hrin said...

LATEST UPDATE: Event cancelled due to bugged Event Zone on LIVE server.

Hache said...

aww, how unfortunate

Unless it was said in the forums, maybe there should be notices about it on the website. Thanks for everything XD!!

When will the event be happening now?

Hrin said...

Re: hache

I didn't put up this calendar on the website cos it was only mentioned in my blog as a tentative schedule. So it would be strange to put the delay on the website when I never actually announced it on the website. Thus, any changes I will be updating on the source of information - which is on my blog. :)

when the bug gets fixed, we'll prolly run a beta type of event in the event zone to make sure things turn out ok.
