[9.07.2004]
the Juno patch, the fifth episode of ragnarok online, is almost out! i think they'll release it by the next update. there will be changes in the client namely:
Animated Kafra Girls
No longer restricted to standing around in one position all day, the Kafra Girls now bow, wipe their glasses or flap their aprons when approached. (wow! look at them! cute!)
Localization of Town Guards
Each city in the Kingdom of Rune-Midgard now has its own town guard. In Payon, there are the slim spear-girls and in Geffen, the mysterious hawk-helmeted guards. Like Kafras, they welcome each guest with a cordial greeting . (payon guards are cute!)
Auto Silence
Flooding will now be a thing of the past as the client automatically initiates a chat/skill block on any player who types the same text in rapid succession. If you key in more than 10 lines in 3 seconds the client will automatically silence you for 10 minutes. If you continue to flood, another 10 minutes will be added to your silence time for every succeeding line you type until you reach the maximum of 1 hour. When silenced, you cannot use any skill or chat. (finally! peace for us acolytes...)
Special Effects
New teleportation effects and character exit animations have been added for more style and flair. Portals are now pale lavender instead of white. Map errors in the old versions have been corrected, now unblockable and with new spectacular visual effects like fireworks in Comodo and pillars of light in Juno. (Ragnarok looks a lot cooler now!)
Weapon Sprites
Now your Tsurugi will look like a Tsurugi when your character wields it! More weapon sprites have been uploaded to the Juno client, allowing you to show off your slaying gear for maximum intimidation effect. (i can show off my vital club! yay!)
3 Slot Quickbar and Battle Mode
Tired of not having enough keys on your F12 Quickbar? In Episode 5 you have EIGHTEEN more hotkeys! Reserve the first slot for your skills, the second slot for your armor and the third for nasty surprises! Switch between the rows of hotkeys by pressing F12. It will toggle from set 1 (the default) to set 2 and set 3. (playing would be easier now!)
