The grand opening of Hollowv3 will take place on Thursday 4th August. This will allow four days to open a test server and get the new client patch ready so that is does not cause problems later on. Specific details for members and staff are below.

1. There will be 5 Hamachi channels to begin with, and 15 members max on each. If all channels are full, please notify me directly since only I can add new ones.
Hamachi Channels: HollowV3, HollowV32, HollowV33, HollowV34, HollowV35. Password for all of them is hollow1.

2. Event announcement will take place on Map1 but also on Announce Chat. Players should meet at Map1 center for further information (all kingdoms).

3. The center of Desert is the location of the first event. Any players found in there before it starts will be sent back to Map2. Steel doors will be summoned at all entrances to stop people from entering (including Monkey Dungeon!). Mobs here will be Bestial Archers, Orcs and Fire Pillar (which drops level 50-75 items in huge amounts).

4. An Ice Golem will be summoned in Fireland somewhere and players must find it. Whoever manages to kill it will also receive +9 weapon for their current level full with stones and all bonuses.

5. Very strong and fast Wild Dogs will be let loose around Iceland. They are aggressive and abnormally more powerful than most level 30 mobs. These mobs will be around until they are all killed.

6. An invisible GM will be dropping 'Smiley Tokens' in Map1 which can be traded to [CM]Magnet for items. The GM will choose people and areas at random where to drop these tokens onto (even people busy levelling in Map1 will have a chance).

7. The player who has made the most progression since the opening of the server will receive an award on the forum and a set of all the new items, including epic helms, boots and novelty swords.

8. The server must be turned off at this time to allow for maintainance.

Staff Information


1S. All staff members attempt to login, check for lag and DC at login. Testers must go to Fireland, Iceland, Orc Valley, Desert, Temple, DT and Atlantea to test it.

2S. Epic items spawned and tested, more searching for laggy maps.

3S. Lots of Metins must be spawned in Map1 and see how often people are kicked/how bad the lag is. Everyone does a test DT run.

4S. Staff gather in Map1 to greet new players (dress in costumes! :D ). At 12:00 go to Desert (invisible mode) and set up Steel Doors at oasis entrances and spawn 20-40 mobs of Orcs, Bestials and 1-5 Fire Pillars. At 12:50 announce this event's end and go to Fireland to hide one Ice Golem somewhere. GMs can stand around spots to give players hints on their way into the map. At 2:45 this event should be finished and all staff members gather in Iceland center to direct everyone to different areas where they should summon special Wild Dogs. Once mobs are summoned, all Staff members are to leave the map so mobs are not harmed by accident. Everyone gathers back in Map1 center to entertain the players. At 4:30pm, all staff go invisible and are allowed to drop 100 Smiley Tokens each. These MUST NOT be done all in one area, it has to be dropped fairly at not be passed off onto individual players. This event ends when all tickets are distributed. At 5:45pm, staff gather at Storekeeper Map1 and a Temple building is spawned for [CM]Magnet to stand under. Admin will check through database to find the player with the most Yang, highest level and most HP/SP. Each player will be called up to the temple to receive an item as a reward, and their board account (if they have one) will have an award badge added to it.

After the event, Staff are permitted to wear costumes, give out firecrackers spawn mobs right until the server shuts off at 11pm (get ready to logout 10mins before.)
