Hello OldSquaders & New comers,
Less than 24 hours remained for the grand opening of our 4th edition of Inception!
The server will be launched officially today (Friday) at 19:00 GMT+3 (follow counter from website).
You will be able to make sure that client works, make parties, etc.
The MOBS will spawn at 20:00 GMT+3 (after 1 hour). 
You still have time to gather strong teams as what is coming will be pretty hard alone! Keep in mind to find a Permanent Stable Party if you plan to play seriously.
Let's show to the MU Online community once again what real quality truly means!
So, share the news to your friends, families, mu contacts, strangers, pets and gather on the start to conquer once again the OldSquad World!
Important Info:
!!!! Don't forget to choose the 'Inception' Server when you are logging on site, else you will be logged on Phoenix and you will be able to use the Phoenix services/options instead of Inception !!! In order to use the SITE FUNCTIONS you need to ACTIVATE your ACCOUNT on EMAIL! (It takes 1-5 minutes to be sent). Energy Elves are removed from gameplay - they are useless on Server 1! Hybrid AE's with AGI+ENE can be good supports for CS/Balgass - where buffs are decent. You can make DL, MG, RF from level 200 or since server starts if you get VIP. Only Dealer/Hunter available until Stage 2 - 10rr - when PRO will be available as well. You have access to OFF-Attack for up to 5 hours. VIP is boosting its duration/it adds auto-pick based on VIP type. Goldens from invasions will be released progressively, so they won't kill you on spots at start. Only BoK1/Budges at start. Test server is still online and will remain online even after Inception start, so you can test anything anytime you want. You can warp from SITE if you are PK - but it costs much more! 1st Castle Siege will be from first week (04 October - Sunday) but there will be no rewards. You will play only to get used to our custom CS System and for fun + the advantage of being the Defenders on the 2nd CS (CS rewards are progressive, read about them on Info topic -> CS System). Keep in mind that Inception is running on a Mother-Kid system, where Inception is the mother and our Wormhole server will be the kid, more info on Gameplay info.  The first season of Wormhole as a kid will start in around 75~80 days, so first transfers on Inception will be after around 4 months. This edition does also provide a new feature - Dynamic Characters Balance - which means after each stage/mini-stage we'll be adjusting any over-performing or under-performing characters at that current stage of game. This is an 100% International Server, that means you MUST write in English ONLY on /post and Gens Chat. If you won't do this you can get Muted / Warned and even Banned! On first reset the EXP is linear (same % from level 11-350 at any level). But after 1st reset the exp is dynamic (lower % on lower levels, higher % on higher levels). This is made in order to balance the time spent on high levels vs the time spent on lower levels. So, if on 0rr exp is 100% for level 11-350, on 1+ resets you have like 30% on 0-50 levels, 80% 200-300, 120% 300-350, etc. Please don't forget that Inception is a truly HARD & PROGRESSIVE Server! Which means exp is low, drops are low, content is progressive and everything is achieved by PLAYING, especially active play. Also up to 60-70% of content is adjusted/custom so you REALLY need to read all of our info in order to have a good time. Make sure to invest jewels in early exc items from mobs / non exc items with high defence in order to progress!
  Also, we want to share you some of the important topics and info that you MUST read for a full experience here:

Maintenance is completed.
Services are back online!

Please keep english on this topic.
Level 80 rings does have their chances based on the usual number from each class at the beginning: DK = DW > ELF > DL = RF = SUM.
Dungeon, Atlans & Lost Tower does have their *move by feet* level changed to the M level. Rest of medium/higher maps does keep their -10 levels difference on feet vs move.
I'll check if there were some gates in Lost Tower that got actually a higher level on feet, by mistake.

Thanks for pointing it out, you were right, all the items will disappear. Edited !

Well i figured it out. Was just malwarebytes blocking the launcher from accessing the internet. Closing malwarebytes was not enough, I had to create a rule to allow the launcher through the firewall. Now works perfectly.
 
 

Most Important Spells - Fireburst, Twisting Slash, Evil Spirits, Lighting Shock, Dark Side, Dragon Roar: Maps: LostTower1-7, Atlans1-2, Dungeon3. Drop: Low-Medium.

Hello,
As you may have noticed already, we've reworked the forum structure in order to spread the information more accurately as well as improving the ways of handling suggestions/reports.
We've also archived all the topics older than 1-1.5 years old across all sections.
All sections can now be seen by both guests and members.
Important changes:
We're trying to revive the guides section with fresh content, so starting from our next edition, any good & accepted guide can grant you 100~300 credits. Note: New guides must be manually accepted by staff. More info: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3949-submitting-a-guide Now Suggestions must pass a stricter model in order to appear and be discussed. In order to encourage them, starting from our next edition any good, accepted & implemented suggestion does earn you 30~80 credits. Note: New suggestion must be manually accepted by staff, they must follow the model. More info: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3948-submitting-a-suggestion-model Now Bug Reports must pass a stricter model in order to appear and be checked. There's also a list of unfixable bugs presented with work-arounds. If there's a bug report that shows an already existing & confirmed problem it will be rejected. Note: New bug reports must be manually accepted by staff, they must follow the model. More info: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3946-reporting-a-bug-model List of known unfixable bugs: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3947-known-unfixable-bugs-work-arounds
Cheers!

Ofc not. It's the % from your stats at 5th.  At 8 rr you have 9% more dmg than at 5 rr , at 10 rr you have 15% more dmg than at 5 rr.
 
Hope it's clear now.

Thanks, i thought it s just a 3% ex dmg increase, so it s way bigger than i thought xD

For each reset  you add the % shown in the table for your reset to your dmg/def/etc from the 5th reset.

Hello, OldSquaders !
First of all we would like to thank you for your interest in reading the Newspaper ! The Newspaper was created especially for you, the players, its only purpose being to connect us as much as possible and to get to know each other. So, here we are, the concept was a success, also bringing up more forum activity, even tho it looks like you enjoy the beefs more than the good things (yes, y'all, I saw your dirty little desires and secrets ). But that's fine, I don't blame any of you.. We all know that it's @Reporter 's fault, so.. it is the time..  we need to find another one ...
😂😂😂 
(*clears throat*)
Y'all really did believe me?
Now speaking seriously, at the request of our now Head Reporter, because he is very busy in real life and the time is not at his pinky at the moment, we are opening the applications for an additional Reporter, meant to fulfill the rest of the activities (some more interviews, not necessarily with the same length as the ones that are already made, but more general and statistical, because any newspaper does need statistics too / maybe some more rumors, ofc, because you like it, our HeadReporter showed us). In this way I want to shoutout @Reporter again, and to thank him for his work, it is awesome ! 
In order to apply, just tell us why would you like to be a part of the Newspaper, tell us something about you (age, location, whatever) and any idea to improve the Newspaper, on our Facebook page, OldSquad Community, via Messenger
---> https://www.facebook.com/OldSquadMU/
ADMIN, Head Reporter and me will review the applications.

The job is also rewarded with 500 - 800 credits per week, depending on the activity.
Some requirements:
This job has to be more of a passion, and because it is kind of easy (you don’t need to invest more than 2-3 hours per week), we are looking for players interested to cooperate for a long term. Also, since the ‘official’ language is English, a decent level of English knowledge is required, even tho the Head Reporter and me will guide the Junior Reporter with pleasure.
These being said, we wish you all good luck and we are looking forward to find the right person to help us make the Newspaper even more interesting for us all !

Hello @zivkoz  here are all the info :
 

Hello, OldSquaders !
We are glad to introduce you to a brand new group on forum, the Council group ! This group is created in order for the players to communicate with the staff easier. Our aim is to make the Council to represent the players, facilitating the feedback, the suggestions, the bug reports, basically everything. Having lots of online players can create confusion between the staff and the players, due to the repetitive reports, or repetitive requests for some changes (which are not that healthy for the community as a whole, but are still requested by some of the players that didn't know that the case was already presented and/or discussed). In this way we will try to sync the big decisions according to our players.
 
Some "requirements" / details:
 
Council group
- Special forum group & discord place where chosen players can communicate easier with the staff and represent the players from the community.
- Legends does have priority but not a guaranteed spot.
- Only accepting people that we enjoyed speaking with or we like their character.
- We need at least 1 person from each big guild from server.
- 1-2 newbies (playing 1st time on our community).
- Players that had contribution during these years.
- Maximum of 12-15 players, for now.
- No rewards but also no responsibilities, only participating when they what on discussions or bringing an opinion to others suggestions/reports/etc.
- People totally inactive from the group will be removed & replaced.
- People who want to join the council must send us details via Messenger to our Facebook page, OldSquad Community, and we'll select from them as well as inviting ourselves the good guys, if they don't 'apply.
 
We hope that you will enjoy this !
Best regards,
OldSquad Team

Regarding this Database on Phoenix, i'd like to bring to the table what i've seen and what my thoughts are:
1.I think there is a slim problem that you might want to take into consideration regarding PVP pace/ early/mid/late game. I think the ups and downs of the characters come too abbruptly.
2. I think you missthought the fast pace ability of some "really into it" players to gear up characters. They really gear themselves pretty fast, and in terms of items they are pretty much End-Game or close to being End-Game but regarding the LVL/RR/MLVL ratio, RANK1 is barely past 50% (6rr 100mlvl) and 98% of the server isn't even at 50% in terms of lvl/rr/mlvl ratio.
I think we really skipped the entire mid-game aspect because taking so long to lvlup/mlvl and goldens/bosses being doable at 2-3-5 rrs with some minimum mlvl and decent items made this gap where most of us have very good items, but nothing really worth doing besides pushing RRs and MLVLs. (Maybe if the Goldens were really hard to do? Even +3/+4 to be good with this kind of really low xp? Then people wouldn't be stuck to only lvling, or just make xp Higher)
3. I feel like some characters have been a little bit too underpowered and took quite a long time for them to be buffed like AE(which i still think it's trash, nowhere near Rank1 PVM that she should be given the fact that she's absolutelly outrageous in pvp) or SM. At least SM's manashield with the lacks of EE was necessary for a party, but the AE was really just a downside, so a faster response could've helped there.
4. I think you should also reconsider the "don't make changes during an edition" mentality, it's fine if u test it, and think that they need a bit of a buff/nerf (like ARF last edition nerf, like AE buff this edition).
I think the server overall is pretty interesting and well made so congratulations. It is just that i feel we achieved a PEAK in this moment, that is not worth doing anything just rr to easier MLVL cause in NonRR server usually MLVL has a huge impact in both PVM or PVP.
I don't know if u ever plan on releasing a new NON RR version, but i hope these things will help you in your future endeavours. Good luck!
 
P.S. I Also think that in this moment is also a problem that most people are under 50% in terms of exp (under 5rr 100 mlvl) and pretty amazingly geared, cause it's destabilizing the PVP,  hard to kill people 1v1, sometimes impossible if you are not using scrolls+demon.
P.S.2. From my experience with nonRR server we used to use Demons in pvp, but here, they die in 3 hits so that is out of the question.
 
EDIT: I think naming it NON-RR when you are kinda forced to RR (having 0rr 25mlvl would of gotten you competitive for maybe 1month) it's also not really a god idea. Name it 10RR xD

Thank you for the info guys!
