A rather large(ish) update for you today. I'm just finishing up preparing the patch files and I will get online and give a 10-15 minute warning before I restart.

NEW STUFF
The Fire Pit
The Fire Pit is a new level 80+ Free4All PvP enabled map accessible from a new portal in Terminus. Free4All means you can attack all players, even those in your guild or guild union and you cannot enter with a party or raid group.

In the middle of the Fire Pit is a Resplendent Chest. This can only be opened when you have the Resplendent Chest buff.

Resplendent Chest Event
Every Wednesday and Saturday at Midday and Midnight you will automatically receive a 1 hour buff allowing you to open the Resplendent Chest inside The Fire Pit.

Announcements will be made 15 minutes before the event starts so make your way to Eliza in Terminus and get ready to enter. You can enter at any time and lie in wait for new players, or you can enter just as the event starts, up to you! Once the event starts you simply need to be the first player that can survive for 10 seconds to open the chest to win it's rewards, which include a random amount of Moolah, Battlefield Points Potions and Fire Pit Fragments.

Eliza the Fire Pit Organizer, next to the Fire Pit portal in Terminus has a quest requiring you to collect 100 Fire Pit Fragments for an exclusive title with fiery wings that has the same stats as the 100 Moolah titles.

Pandahama Island Chests
New Treasure Chests have appeared around Pandahama Island containing Scrub's Tears, Battlefield Points Potions, Diamond Ores and Fairy's Marbles.

Each type of chest requires a key to open it. Bronze Chests require a Bronze Key that can be purchased from May in Terminus for 10 Scrub's Tears. Silver Chests require the Silver Key that can only be found inside Bronze Chests, and Platinum Chests require the Platinum Key that can only be found inside Silver Chests. The better the chest, the more items inside.

Two new arena-style maps that will be used for events. They are only accessible through a GM teleport at the moment so if you want to see them or use them for your own events/wars, ask a GM to port you there.

Fame System
You will now gain Fame Points for completing dungeons and killing world bosses. The amount of points depends on the difficulty of the dungeon or world boss.

The player with the most points at Midnight on Friday is awarded the Fame Crown for 7 days granting 20% Gold Drop bonus from monsters, 150 All Stats and 15% Boss Damage.
