Also to let you know how we are handling the characters. On Thursday we will be WIPING all character data from Sakray, and moving the characters (set to 1/1 novices) back to Training grounds. Those that are participating in USRC will need to login after Maintenance, but before Saturday's start of events, and set their characters up. No money, stat or skill reset services will be available, so what you end up with is what you will need to compete with in the tournament.

We will be recording all matches and live stream as many matches as we can. Depending on the number of teams participating we may run 1 or 2 matches at a time.

Thursday June 2nd 4pm we will be hosting a Streamed Q & A session about Ragnarok. If you want to view the stream just head to our Facebook page and use the button on the left side to view the stream.

If you want to ask a question please use Twitter and send a question by using "hashtag" #ROQ&AJune on Twitter. We hope to talk about some patches and our update plan, and any issues that are brought up by inquiring players!

USRC will use that same streaming method, and USRC signups close next Wednesday, so be sure to sign up your team today!

For many of us we have friends and family that have served in the Armed forces for their country. In the United States our day of remembering those people is on the Last Monday of May, which is May 30th this year. This is a day off from school and work for many of us, so we are going to extend our events a little to encompass this holiday.

The Lucky Box and Double Exp event will stay in place through Tuesday Morning May 31st. We will have a brief maintenances around 11am (about 15 minutes long) to turn off the May Lucky Pack and the Double Exp event.

Until then, please enjoy the Summoner Event, the Double EXP and the full drop rate regardless of level!

For those of you wondering what the deal is with the Slotting Advertisements you get out of lucky boxes, here is the scoop on our two week event, from May 19 - June 2nd.

Troy can be found in Payon, celebrating his victory in the RPS tournament; normally Troy will ask for a considerable amount of zeny and refining metals to make an attempt at putting slots into your item, but not today! There are other Slotting Smiths in the kingdom who can offer slotting services, but their chances of success are much lower than Troys, and when they fail you lose the equipment, the zeny and the refining materials. Troy is always better than those other Slotters are, but he only works when someone provides him a Slotting Advertisement, not only is Troy more successful but he also will never destory the base equipment if he fails!

During Happy Troy's celebration period, he will do his Slotting Attempts and waive any material and Zeny Fees! This is your opportunity to attempt to slot anything that can, as it will never get less expensive than now! And if you succeed, you can go to Grandma Boxter in the Eden group; turn in a Popcorn or Piggie Bank Hat and get it upgraded safely to +5!
