Dear All Inferno Players

[Neo Ragnarok]

Okay guys, sorry for the previous scare of an update :3 The new and for real update is live on the Blog as of now. Give it a few minutes for things to appear. Also, we are not currently able to make only certain pets learn spells by buying them in shops, so sorry, that won't happen.

Also, Re: the two posts before SquareEnix-Aqua;

Tacticians can learn tactics NOW in preparation for THEN. No excuses really. Munny is simply the equivalent of the time you put into gathering it, and EVERYONE will be able to get the SAME amount of munny, so that's just you know, how much time you put in. Strength... ha. I sincerely doubt that anyone will be extremely strong in comparison to everyone else within the first week. Again, strength = amount of time you devote.

Munny doesn't equate to success in the Inferno. Munny we have now is simply there because of insane Bank Interest near the beginning of the Inferno. Munny will not get you everywhere in the next Inferno, as very few things will be buyable. Even if you buy it, who says you can use it?

Though technically this belongs in the RPG FAQ, during certain times the Inferno is slower than we'd like it to be, but for the most part is should be generally quick, since we have a dedicated server. If your network is downloading extra things or whatnot it'll slow your connection a tad, but other than that I'm not sure exactly why it's slow for you.

This hasn't been discussed yet among the RPG Team really.

Should an "end of the world" nature be used now? Such as robbing the banks casually, giving Chapter2 equips to newbs, spamming the shoutbox, etc.?

If not... well... I have not done those anyway.

Now to my real question: Even though I don't have one, does a "Million Dollar Coupon" still get you something when the reset is done? Sorry if this has been asked.

[Joaxshu]

lol that would be kewl/funny
for like the last day/week before it is reset every body just goes nuts

[Dexel]

Yeah, the last week before the reset, everyone would be running around like crazy, robbing banks and doing a lot of other crazy stuff. Maybe even, because they don't know it, give a million dollar coupon to a newb. Or just CH. 2 stuff. The shoutboxes would be filled with everyone's favorite lines and other stuff like that.

No, "End of the World" reactions will only piss off the Inferno team, especially if rules get broken just because "It's all gonna end anyway, LOL".
We may become more lax once we have a definite date for the new Inferno to get launched, but don't completely count on it.

Million Dollar coupon probably won't really get you anything special in the New Inferno. Gathering munny isn't that amazing of a feat, considering there are players with 10,000,000+ munny in the Inferno

Oh yeah, this stuff will happen, and I know it will, however if it's the week/few days before the reset, that's fine.

Hi, I don't read posts, but I <3 posting in them! Someone tell me when the Inferno is reset because I can't be bothered to simply read a few lines of text in the first post because I have the attention span of a ball of lint. Thanks in advance<3

[Magus Fitzgerald]

Just to be an ass I'm quoting the entire first post.

Many of you probably have read the thread about the new version of the Inferno due out "when it's done" which for all we know could be a month, or a year, or even a decade from now. Alright, it probably won't be that long before it's released, but it'll end up giving the Inferno team a lot of new toys to play with. Toys which we are very excited as a team for.

Since the release of Chapter 2 back in October, the Inferno has gone through many changes. D Athier and myself were made team members, and everything from weapons to bosses to magics to NPCs were added, tweaked, prodded, and for the most part, fixed. The talk right now is all about the next Chapter, Chapter 3. When is it going to be released? When will it be done? What new things are we to expect? Well, I have an answer for you about the status of Chapter 3.

It won't be completed.

I know, this is hard for some of you to hear, but the Inferno will be reset. I know there will be a variety of mixed feelings about this, ranging from happiness to utter horror, but I assure you that it is done in the best interest of each and every one of our loyal players. We're very glad everyone has so far enjoyed the current Inferno... and if you enjoyed that... you'll really enjoy what we have planned. For the past month or more the team has been cooking up a brand new plot, and brand new game mechanics that we can't wait to roll out at you. In fact, we were going to get ready to change over to the new game quickly, but then we got word about the Inferno 3.1. We decided that once it is out, we will officially be restarting the Inferno.

I promised many of you that we would never reset the Inferno and force you to play the same thing over again. We will be keeping that promise. For details on what to expect, please see the questions below.

Anything and everything you need to know about the reset can be found in the questions below. To skip to a question, please open the find part of your browser (Control + F) and type the letters/numbers you see in the brackets.

Why is the Inferno being Reset?

Why would we do this to you players who have logged many long hours making friends, gathering shards, making munny, buying equipments, and most of all training magics? Quite honestly, because the game in its current state is rather broken. Due to oversights in the construction of Chapter 1, the game first started to become unbalanced. Mainly due to the previous amount of interest the banks gave out every day caused players to become exceedingly wealthy in an extremely short amount of time. This will continue to unbalance the entire game. If you look at my personal bank account you'll see what I mean. I haven't added munny to my account once since I've been on team, and I have over 100,000,000 munny. This has been a problem for a long time.

Secondly, the magic system has been tweaked and changed so many times... and quite honestly it still sucks. I've changed the numbers so many times on the spells that I know them all nearly by heart. There would need to be major changes done to the workings of the Inferno in general in order to balance out the magic issue. Being given merely 3 HP/MP per AP is just simply too low, and the MP costs are too high for them to be useful. In addition to this, weapons and armors are getting so broken that some players have insane amounts of enchantments on weapons because of how many times I have tweaked their stats. Even today there are still some balance issues with a few weapons and magics.

Finally, this is a problem I know everyone over let's say 30 is extremely annoyed with: AP allocation. How irritating is it to have 500+ AP and have to move it nearly one point at a time? It's way too time consuming and I feel it is draining the fun from the Inferno. Fear not, in 3.1 there will be a new and improved way to move around AP that is much better than spam clicking 300 times.

It boils down to this: The current Inferno is simply not as fun as we hoped it would be. There have been so many cheats and broken segments of the game that had been exploited that the game itself has become unbalanced. When the game is unbalanced, the game isn't fun. Some of the regulars may have noticed my personal lack of showing up in Deep Jungle like I used to... it's basically because I feel bad that you guys have to deal with this.

[0002]

When will the Inferno be Reset?

Let's move on to better things. The reset. Yes, it will be coming. No, it will not happen for a while. This means you should stop training magics to extremes and stop working your butt off to pay for that shiny new sword. This does not mean you should stop coming to the Inferno to fight and converse as you have been since we opened last May. We want you guys to stick around, and there will be new things hopefully finding their way into the current Inferno in the coming weeks that will keep everyone happy. As for the official date, the Inferno team will announce it before it actually happens. We wanted to give you all warning as soon as possible so that you aren't blindsided by this happening.

[0003]

How does the Reset effect me?
Basically everything about your current Inferno character will be gone. For good. There is no undoing a reset. All the magics you've trained, pets you've bought, weapons you've used, everything will be gone. In its place you'll get a brand new character and get to start from scratch. This is obviously the crappy part of the reset to be sure. We wish it didn't have to be this way, but it happens to be a necessary evil unfortunately.

However, the Reset will effect you positively as well. When the Inferno comes back live you'll have a new story to experience, new weapons to collect, and a few new surprises that we won't be telling you about just yet. The new Inferno will be nothing like the current one. It will be much more interesting. That is something you can count on.

[0004]

What will the Inferno be like after the Reset?

Well, it'll be brand spanking new. New game mechanics, new magic configurations, new ways to improve your character. There will be so many new and different ways of doing things that you'll end up with a much more customizable character that you currently do.

A few logistical changes we are deciding upon are as followed:

• Different amounts of stat gain per AP for Health and Mana
• A potions bag that allows more than three potions
• A different amount of AP gained per level
• Less expensive items
• New Weapon Types
• New ways to use clans

These are only a few of the changes we intend to implement. We'll also be looking for you, our community, to have a say in how you want the Inferno to be changed up. We'll be looking for a lot of user based input as we strive towards the final product.

For those who do end up sticking around the Inferno, there will be ways to get a jumpstart on the reset in order to get some extra cash/rare items when the new Inferno will be released. We will be telling you details on how to qualify for those rewards in the coming weeks.

[0005]

Why should I come back to the Inferno?

If you enjoyed our current Inferno even slightly, you'll really want to come back to see the changes that will be made to it. However we aren't sure exactly when you'll be able to see some of the changes. Hopefully it won't be forever, but right now the team is most certainly waiting on the completion of the Inferno 3.1 in order to begin to remake the Inferno. There are many new features we wish to take full advantage of, including the elemental system, new acp additions, and other things yet to be revealed. In the end, the choice of playing is up to you, of course, but we hope to see many familiar faces when the Inferno finally is relaunched, whenever that is.

[0006]

Will you tell us more about the new Inferno in planning?
Yes, but in due time. As Super Smash Brothers Brawl had their Dojo, explaining piece by piece what the game was going to contain, so we will do for our new Inferno. That thread should go live by the end of this coming week, or the beginning of next week. We'll be revealing piece by piece what the new Inferno will contain, as well as secrets being added to the current Inferno to keep everyone content while we wait for the completion of the Inferno 3.1. If you have enjoyed the Inferno so far, I am rather sure you'll end up loving what we do when the Inferno recovers from this Reset.

[0007]
If you have any questions or concerns about this Reset, please post here. Only questions pertaining to what has been said here will be allowed. Any posts like "Awesome!" or "This is bogus!" will be deleted. Please keep a mature discussion here. The team will be more than willing to answer any and all questions about this event, since it will undoubtedly be a rather large event for our Inferno community.

I know you guys dunno when, but do you mods have a GUESS on when it may happen?

[Magus Fitzgerald]

Its not gonna happen for quite some time. Months to be precise. Mods will know when Decado says so.

[Raticus]

It all depends on Inferno Technologies.
