We are happy to announce that we are planning to launch Chronicle 5 on September 6, 2006!
During the server downtime for the Chronicle launch, the following event items will be removed:
<ul type="square"> Bead Ornament (Deck the Halls) Star Ornament (Deck the Halls) Fir Tree Branch (Deck the Halls) Flower Pot (Deck the Halls) All alphabet letters (L2 Day) Gunpowder (Playing With Fire) Magnesium (Playing With Fire) Squash Seed (Summer Squash) Large Squash Seed (Summer Squash) Pollen (Summer Squash)Additionally, the replays you created in Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny will not be compatible with Chronicle 5 and can only be viewed in the Chronicle 4 game client. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Finally, in Chronicle 5, the maximum number of clans in an alliance will be reduced from 12 to 3. At the time of launch, alliances will not be forcibly disbanded. However, we strongly encourage clans to re-form their alliances as soon as possible. Alliances may be forcibly disbanded at a later date.

Why remove these?.....That isn't very nice.
Why not just let us keep them like in the past?

We will be told they have some "compatibility issues".
Which is just a way to help us not to come out of the money sink ;)

Maybe you should talk to your support staff then....
Alrighty here's my replies from support, oldest first:
me: You do understand that it plays just fine in C4 and not in C5 right? I’m using the same video card for both, same drivers. Same computer. The file is attached anyway.
support: C5 is the test server. It is there just to test the game client. If you want to play replay videos suggest playing them on the normal C4 client.
me: Ok, so once my client gets updated to C5 then what? Those replays are unusable?
Support: Once C5 is actually released onto the regular servers you shouldn't have any problems with your replays. The test server is not the same as the regular servers that is why they did not play properly. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Way to go NC make it our fault b/c you are unable to maintain the database or create items....reason I say this is b.c the Squash event used the same Items as the pumpkin event...the name was just changed not the references. Someone took the easy way out of creating a new event. And if you plan on re-using an event why not just leave the Items....it is only hurting the resourceful players that want Items no matter how useless they are....

Well Mistryl i have to check my calender to see if i am free otherwise we need to disguse
if we can pospone the launch until i get a free day... :D
Total players per clan was increased. It will force less chiefs and more indians. And allow more people in total to join an ally.
Yes, but to get the level of clan that you can have that many players will be much more difficult. For a while I'm sure there will be much smaller allies.... except the big ones already engaged in wars and castles etc etc and what not. It obviously is meant to kind of force pvp aspect of the game. The "carebear" clans/allies that only engage in PvE will not be able to get to Level 8 anywhere near as easy... and maybe not at all, so their alliances will remain small.
If a clan member drops clan Sept. 4th. Will they be able to join on Sept 6th when C5 releases? Or are they on a 5 day waiting period? Please tell help!
I think the reason to remove these objects is because the certain item IDs will be used
for other Event items... so maybe someone thought that it is about time to make
some new and more exciting events?
It's just that Events are NA specific and they thus have no mean to check if KR has used those event items IDs for another.
Just imagine you had 64 L2DAY 'B's and you end up with 64 Draconic Bows !
Wouldn't it be sad ?
To be sure they just wipe the event items before patching.

That's sort of tricky. The penalty will be changed from 5 days to 1 day in Chronicle 5, but if the member leaves during Chronicle 4... it's hard to say. I would recommend starting that process now, or waiting until Chronicle 5 to take advantage of the 1 day penalty.

... No
Sieges wars etc TRANSFER reputation points from loser to winner. Quests and class change generate the points in the first place.
The problem is that only the chief has access to clan warehouse, which is a serious bummer. They should have made it so you can give full right to clan warehouse.
Additionally, the replays you created in Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny will not be compatible with Chronicle 5 and can only be viewed in the Chronicle 4 game client. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
I've noticed this. Some replays from C4 gives me a crit error when I try to play them with the test client. And in one replay, the mobs have turned into giant albino bunnies...
It sucks that the letters are being removed :( I'd saved some of mine. I guess they've been taking up valuable warehouse space for nothing (it's ALWAYS full).
It will only allow more people to join an ally than currently if all 3 clans actually manage to get the rep points to increase their levels.
And by the way, I fail to see why they are being so cagey about actual information to do with the new clan structures. They spout that its an important part of the game and then hide the details from the players...not good lol
Will the XP penalty be waved for clan leaders that disband their clan? For example my alliance has 10 clans in it and we want to restructure in to the 3 clan limit.

Well the patch notes I read say that you get clan reputation from the following:
Clan reputation will go up by doing the following
- New member finishes 2nd job quest while in the academy
- If you have captured a castle during a siege. (Final)
- Capturing Clan hall (new)
(If you capture a clan hall that's already occupied by the other clan more rep is gained)
- Member of your clan gets first place in Seven signs
(points are based on how many of your clan members are in the first place party)
- If a HERO is born from your clan (Rep points depends on the number of the HEROs)
- Can gain points from doing the clan quests.
- When in war (both clan accepted war state) or during a Siege
you can gain Rep (fame) points by killing your enemy.
(Unless the opposing clan has less then 0 Rep(fame) points)
Will the XP penalty be waved for clan leaders that disband their clan?
From what I understand, the experience penalty for disbanding is still in effect in Chronicle 5. I have to admit that I'm posting from home right now, so I will double-check that tomorrow and post again if I'm incorrect. Thanks!

Why those quests were over, npc's are not suposed to come back, so those items are uselles. And what's the difference if you use them to create lag in town or if they will disapear on their own?
Yeah but if you capture a castle, some other clan looses it and looses points. I'm not sure if being killed in a mutual war will bring your score down, but I think it does as well.. hence, pvp-ish interaction "transfers " points between clans because if there's a winner gaining, there's also a loser loosing (sp?)... also, if the loser doesn't have any points, the winner over them gets nothing.

This would make sense in a logical aproach, but think of the manor-system, it's a win-win situation to. I think, like with adena, we'll see a static increase in reputaion points.
This was an active clan will have a LOT more points than other clans in f.e. a year.

good point
unless nc makes a reputation sink like the numerous adena sinks in a year everyone will have tons of points
btw the apella armor sets are sorta a reputation sink but im not sure what sort of impact they will have
Anyone know if there will be a Tuesday maintenance or will it be skipped and everything will be done during the downtime for C5? I'm just wondering because there are no maintenance notes for the 5th at this time.
