Is this supposed to be as you wrote it, or

"fixed an issue that by using a Dungeon Teleport Scroll, you could enter Biolabs dungeon without completing the entrance quest."

The latter would make me very sad.

[Doddler]

No, if you do it right you can have the quest marked as complete but not have your lab permit by backtracking from the dungeon into the cube room pipe.

[eresea]

- Fixed a map bug with ra_fild06.

[Doddler]

The kRO files have "Towel of Memory [1]" added as an accessory, though it has no description yet.

[Potu]

Any updates to renewal server?

[Atum]

Yea, are there any documented changes on the new sakray server? :)

[RextintorZ]

There are new items. Coca-Cola cans (one I think is a headgear, and the others are HP/SP recovery items) and three RWC exclusive headgears for the winners.

I WANT COCA COLA ZERO

lol, they really "promoting" this time.

[Doddler]

Gungho, the operators of RO in japan have teamed up with coca cola to offer in game tie ins. In return, every sold bottle of coke and fanta advertise Ragnarok Online. A code on the label can be used to get in game prizes. Within RO, coke products are sold for 800z and are restorative both HP and SP items. They don't heal quite as much as whites but they don't way much at all (and obviously cheaper) and SP wise they're similar to oranges/lemons.

This tie in event is specifically occurring during the jRO summer drive campaign, with a variety of events and such going on. The RJC2008 is currently on going, and new users still play for free until mid next month on the new free game server. They updated the amazing "Adventurer's Academy" which is basically like a super-extension of the novice training grounds and great at explaining game mechanics, and introducing players to major parts of the game world. During the summer drive they also permanently re-added the popular Monster Side Stories, a series of monster story quests. Early next month they will be releasing the Destruction of Morroc update, and each month following will release new game content (woese + battlegrounds in October, memorial dungeon in November). Its a very impressive campaign by Gungho.

lol, apparently they have an NPC in the form of a Coca-cola vending machine :p
I wonder what's that Lawson building for since it seems that there is no way to get into the building.

[RextintorZ]

Interesting in-game advertising.

I think to enter that Lawson building you have to talk to the woman NPC in front of it.

If there was a McDonalds... wow.

[Talvis&Talnis]

Now why can't IRO do more advertising campaigns like this? Or advertising campaigns in general?

[13attle]

cause coke won't pay iRO to do it, simple and done :P

[Dishonru]

What was the ra_fild06 map bug?

After looking at the map it looks like there are a ton of corners where the game would continue moving you, but it would tell the client to stop. That could be annoying, but would it be classified as a "map bug" considering there are tons of places every where that do that, even in prontera? I didn't even see any rogue tiles on that map like on most of the other ra_fild maps.
