What the heck...

[LiteX]

While checking the msgstringtable.txt, i found some lines that may reference these two "rumored/scrapped" classes, I know DK and DC are old as heck, but i've found this, taken directly from msgstringtable, this seems to be AFTER mercenaries (they were in Ep11.3), maybe gravity will finish then implement them after 3rdies?:

Some thai events are already in (just @warp poring_c01 or @warp poring_c02 in a server) but these others, i have never been in them before... Thoughts about these 2 supposed classes?
These mgstringtable lines do look a little...strange (It's there, just look in your data folder)

[Littlechan]

jiang shi and dark knight?

[LiteX]

jiang shi and dark knight?

Supposedly, it would be
Novice>Gangshi/Jiang Shi>Death Knight
or
Novice>Gangshi/Jiang Shi>Dark Collector

I think it could be probarble, i mean, Jiangshi are chinese zombies that suck out your life energy, a Dark Collector would "Collect" the life energy and going to an undead knight from a life-energy draining corpse is possible...

According to the RO Future Wiki, it has been in the code for a while. Although I don't think they have really added code to that for months.

According to the RO Future Wiki, it has been in the code for a while. Although I don't think they have really added code to that for months.

IIRC, they added it during Ep 11.X
They are currently on 13.2 and no news from them, Gravity said that they would think about expanded classes after thirdies arrive on main servers, maybe thats when they will do, episode 10 was about completing the second continent (Schwarzvalt), episode 11 was about completing the third continent (Arunafeltz), episode 12 was about explaining what was going on after the whole continent was discovered, it also created alot of new features (Flavious, Tierra Valley, WoE Second Edition, Endless Tower and Catacombs), now, episode 13 is about the new world (Jotunheim) and since they want the new world to be a "high-level area", instead of doing power inflation they decided to rebalance by adding 50 extra levels and renewal, and to compensate, a new advancement for each class (Lord Knight>Rune Knight, High Wizard>Warlock, Assasin Cross>Guillotine Cross and etc), after thirdies become implemented, they will possible continue the new world,

But since RO is based of norse mythology and a manga(Which most 3rd classes was based off, like Warlock with Tetra Vortex, it is also suspected that sorcerers will gain a spell called "Darker than Darkness" from the manga), we may be able to predict from which direction is going

"Jötunheimr (often anglicized Jotunheim) is the world (heim 'home, homeland') of the jötnar (two types: rock (or hill giants) and frost (or rime giants)) in Norse Mythology. From there they menace the humans in Midgard and the gods in Asgard (from whom they are separated by the river Ifing)."--From Wikipedia

Midgard is where the game takes place (Both Arunafeltz, Schwarzwalt, Rune-Midgar and the outer isles are in Midgard), the new world is Jotunheim, populated by giants, by looking at this point, it seems that there will be less towns, since Humans reside only in Midgard (Which is actually good for ghost town prevention), i really don't know what gravity is planning but they will proberly follow the manga.

[LemonCrosswalk]

They threw out following the comic years ago.

They threw out following the comic years ago.

Ermmm, according to iRO Future Wiki, some 3rd Class sprites were based of the manga (Rune Knights are supposed to look like Chaos, Guillotine Crosses are supposed to look like Loki), not to mention the Warlock's spell "Tetra Vortex" also came from the manga, I think Thanatos VS Morocc was also on the manhwa too...

Gangshi class are munak/bongun look if I recall correctly.

The first bunch of text looks like trivia, maybe they were thinking of having a sort of point system if you answer questions correctly, could server as bot check too.

Munak and Bongun are Jiangshis, same thing as Yaojun/Hyegun, I don't think it's for all classes this trivia, well, just look at these:
[Angel's Question] A is 1 and Z is 26. what will it be if you add up all alphabets of 'Munak'? She is one of popular monster.#
[Angel's Question] A is 1 and Z is 26. what will it be if you add up all alphabets of 'Bongun'? I love it so much.#
Sounds like the JiangShi


[Angel's Question] A is 1 and Z is 26. What will it be if you add up all alphabets of a word 'Death' which symbolizes Knights whose brave in front of Death?#--Death Knight reference?

[Angel's Question] A is 1 and Z is 26. It's important to keep living brightly in dark reality. What will it be if you add up all alphabets of a word 'Dark'?#

I really don't know what gravity is planning with this, but I will try to find some meanings behind these JiangShi mobs
