I'm a bit surprised that this came so soon.

Are you sure they're actually releasing the current 3rd jobs though on that date?  I believe they're just releasing the Renewal changes, not the actual 3rd classes yet.  I may be wrong though.

There's some debate about that on irowiki. In my opinion, at least 3-1 classes should be implemented (the older ones especially like Rune Knight, Arc Bishop). Some 3-2 classes like Genetic and Soccer, we have yet to see any official sprites. So, highly doubtful all classes will be implemented come June 17th.

Why do I believe some 3rd classes will be made available in the coming maintenance?
- You can reset skills/stats once for FREE
- You can continue to level up pass 99 to a new max base lvl of 150

I'm a bit surprised that this came so soon.

They are actually behind schedule by at least a year.

^This. However that still doesn't keep us from being surprised that it came out so 'soon'.

Also, I still want more than the 4 bars of BM they're coming out with :X

Storage Update

Anyone know how they are updating this? 1 thing I've always wanted for RO is something like "sort alphabetically, sort by ID" and stuff

Update looks good : d

[Hutchy]

Do not want. Ever.

From IROwiki:

Wanderer:

Yo. Minstrels look like the BK King!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmyeah.

Oh yeah, BK indeed.

Moving this here because it's not getting the attention it deserves :<

I sure hope gravity doesn't mess with competitive play. Oh and what's that window, top right?

[LemonCrosswalk]

[Descent]

The respect I have for you, this board is not large enough to contain.

[SilverStream~]

I'm waiting for the Ronald McDonald sprite.

Mappables keys, permanent /bm. Press enter one time, it will activate the chat mode, two times it will activate the /bm mode.

What this mean? You can put z for double strafe, delete for concetration and esc for spring trap.

[Relics]

I see, so that's the extension of bm.. hot stuff

[A92FL0163]

Character Stats and Equipment window are both "binded" now, but you can choose to hide one or another if you wish.
Pressing ESC displays more options than the 3 (or 4) basic option, Now it displays about 7 options (or though I don't have any idea what the other 4 do.

Looks interesting.
