Scheduled Server Maintenance - 06.08.10

Does anyone know if the Aran ring event is disabled? I have the 50 ring but still need the 70 ring.

Why does it matter? It'll be useless after the 16th anyway.

Why would they not care about more damage when that's the point of the lillins ring?

Clearly they care if they went for the lillin ring in the first place, lmfao. Besides, assuming he's talking about his bucc there is no reason not to use the crit ring.

In essence this, and that I'm a obsessed with completing things; I don't like having incomplete event items. But does that mean the Aran ring event IS still available for one more week?

It should be over now.

+12 stats > crits.

Someone would have the check the data, but the quest data says it ended on the 8th, and Nexon says it ends on the 16th. So, who knows.

There is no way to have the ring forever though,

Obviously not looking for it to last forever but rather the option to get it from the cs

Mostly got the idea due to this quote

lol.. MSEA got it since december and there's still plenty of ring service/mules out there now.

Posted up in Takebackers thread when they actually changed the ring to make it work. I would imagine they got rid of the quest in msea as well but there was some other factor that would let people continue taking advantage of it almost 6 months later at the time of that post.

So maybe something more in-depth like when you log on before the 16th the game sends something to the cs to be claimed, but just like gifting a cs item the timer won't start til you claim it. Logging in after the 16th means the game sends nothing to the cs because there is no quest there.

Not for 98% of classes in this game it isn't. Lillins ring is only good for paladins and heroes, and only when they don't have SE. I don't think he has either...

I logged into a character that could get the 1.5 drop ring back on the 24th but I didn't go into the cash shop, just now since you brought this up I logged back into him and looked at the ring and it expires on the 9th of July. Which means you have to log into the Cash Shop to be able to get this ring, and once you do it will expire one month from when you log in and get the ring.

Which means you have to log into the Cash Shop to be able to get this ring

Obviously to get it you need to go into the cs, but to have it be sent to you do you just need to log into the game or actually go into the cs. The fact that the timer is based on the time you go into the cs and not the time you log in is not relevant for arguing that you get the ring when you go into the cs versus when you log in because it could be acting like any other gifted cs item where it doesn't activate until you go into the cs.

It could be that when you log in the game assesses how long it has been since you're last log in and sends the appropriate ring to the cs to be claimed, or you are given the ring when you go into the cs.

The situation with your mule above just proves the time on the ring is dependent on when you enter the cs to claim it. It does not prove when the ring is assigned to the account.

It's not a matter of how/when to get the ring, it's a matter of when does Nexon actually assign you your ring. Considering other versions were able to have ring mules 6+ months after the event the only way I can see that happening is if you are assigned the ring when you log in within the event period but the timer doesn't start til you actually go to the cs to claim it. Or, their event was coded differently then ours was.

Either way I'm gonna at least try to get the 2 extra ring mules set up based on these assumptions because frankly, why not do it, takes like 30 seconds to do and I'll still have an active ring mule til the 16th anyway. I don't really lose anything.

Someone would have the check the data, but the quest data says it ended on the 8th, and Nexon says it ends on the 16th. So, who knows.

Here is the correct date, if you must know:

If I remember correctly, quest.wz says the quest expires on midnight June 10th (between the 9th and 10th).

but to have it be sent to you do you just need to log into the game or actually go into the cs.

Most likely the latter.

Since this isn't a gift everyone gets, you only get it when you go into the Cash Shop. So if you log into a character that can get the ring but don't go into the Cash Shop until after the event is over it's completely pointless.

Most likely the latter.

Most likely
Like I said, it's worth the shot that it's not, 30 seconds is not much to sacrifice on even a 90% probability that it's not. As long as theres some hope I'll go with it.

The rings are items gifted from the cs. I don't see how we can lose it if we never went in the cs to begin with. Their is no quest to start the event, all you do is go in the cs to check what ring you got. Nexon sent an email about coming back to maple on one of my real old emails and the codes still work.

I have 3 more ring mules backed up just in case

Has anyone trained with 2x exp card, ring mule and family rep 2x after this server check? Apparently family rep 2x gets "dispelled" in a few seconds.

EDIT: apparently this happens in the skele mini dungeon.
