New Event Scheduler working

Can you elaborate?

[venox]

New Event Scheduler working

Can you elaborate?

It's pretty advanced. I did intend to elaborate, but then completely slacked off when I posted above.

The new event scheduler allows us to create an event schedule that is persistent and repeats every week. We'll Be scheduling multiple event types back to back with this system and the schedule will soon be integrated into the website so that players will be able to see it in entirety.

The information returned by clicking the event schedule clocks as well as by using the IRC command !events is also expanded somewhat. It will tell you precisely when the next game will start, and if there is a game in progress, it will tell you about the game scheduled to start after the current game ends.

All scheduled games will now start at the top or bottom of the hour, no more games starting at 11:47pm.

The big benefit to this new system beyond what's mentioned is the ability for us to schedule events for the wee morning hours when staff are not usually on so that that players that are in exotic ( ) timezones may participate in events as well.

The schedule is very customizable, so we will be looking for feedback on the initial schedule that we post so that every has a time within the week that they are able to participate.

Looks good, wasn't aware you couldn't recall from areas in the Tera Keep.

[Gund]

Its been a long time, so I could be quite wrong here. I thought that you couldn't recall INTO the tera keep most places, but recall out worked fine, is this what you meant in the patch notes?

I think the only spot you could cast either mark or gate was in the green swamp area near the castle, the recall spell worked everywhere.
