Episode evidence: inferred last identified major episode. EP13.2.1 is the excluded Renewal client label, not a pre-Renewal stage. thai_unknown_guide, thai_renewal_original

Historical schedules, archive capture dates and local rollout dates are distinct. Chapter order is a reference order where exact Thai dates remain unknown.

Historical patch notes ​

  • Stop immediately before November 9, 2010 Renewal maintenance. Episode 13.2 is the last identified major content stage; intervening weekly balance, event and shop patches are not fully recovered. Evidence: inferred cutoff not complete snapshot. thai_renewal_original, thai_renewal_day
  • At participating @Cafe locations only: EXP +50%, item drop +30%, death EXP loss reduced by 50%, during October 5–November 2, 2010. Publication/update stamp is October 4 at 15:00 (local time as printed; timezone not explicit). Evidence: original temporary realm access overlay. thai_cafe_bonus_original_20101004
  • Pegasus Scroll costs 2,000 P on Main Server and 3,000 P on Free Server. Sale ends November 2 before maintenance. Body lists possible rewards but no probabilities; two other product descriptions remain image-only. Evidence: original shop notice. thai_kafra_shop_original_20101005
  • GM announces event map and required items; first ten qualifying players each round receive a Rabbit Scroll. Published event time is 16:00 each day. Evidence: original event schedule. thai_trader_live_original_20100914
  • RO Retro runs through Facebook and BBS, with winners announced November 12. In-game awards are contest rewards after the pre-Renewal cutoff; nostalgic sample chat prices in this notice are not a beta database. Evidence: original promotion spanning cutover. thai_retro_event_original_20101011
  • Manual-patch notice identifies a 140 MB preparation download for the November 9 Class3 & Renewal update. Capture is November 15; keep this as excluded boundary/client-prep evidence, not a pre-Renewal content patch. Evidence: original renewal boundary notice. thai_class3_manual_original
  • The October 17, 2010 E-Card notice independently schedules Class 3 and Renewal for November 9. It corroborates the later cutover notice; Class 3 and the advertised level 150 remain outside this pre-Renewal progression. Evidence: original operator schedule recovered. thai_renewal_ecard_original_20101017
  • Infinity Story accepts screenshots from October 18 at 16:00 through November 17, 2010. Two-times EXP and drops are promised only if 100,000 images are received, at a time to be announced later. Neither target completion nor bonus activation is established, so these cannot become base rates or an assumed pre-Renewal event. Evidence: original operator conditional event notice. thai_infinity_story_original_20101017

Player guide ​

This is the final local pre-Renewal checkpoint, immediately before the Thai Renewal boundary. Intervening weekly changes remain incomplete.

What to explore in this stage ​

  • Use the final qualified player rules and content list for the completed pre-Renewal world.

Before the local update ​

  • The historical EP13.2.1 client introduces Renewal and is outside this progression target.

These activities describe the intended stage. Exact local requirements and availability must be confirmed in the released build before this draft becomes a player announcement.

Developer guide ​

Implementation work ​

  • Recover the final weekly balance, event and shop changes before the boundary.
  • Freeze a complete content/mechanics/client inventory with explicit unresolved exceptions.
  • Separate expired events and server-specific overlays from permanent world rules.

Character and world migration ​

  • Preserve a restorable final character/world checkpoint and its exact client/server profile.

Acceptance checks ​

  • The final inventory contains only content qualified for the chosen cutoff.
  • Renewal formulas and third jobs remain unavailable.
  • All intended event expiries and final rates are accounted for.

Affected areas: world, combat, events, client, migration.

Use the mechanics history for candidate rules and developer reference for pinned comparison files. The release checklist defines the future evidence, migration and runtime gates.

Unresolved before qualification ​

  • Last successful pre renewal maintenance.
  • Weekly 2009 2010 patches.
  • Server specific rules.

Separate realm / event overlays ​

  • October 2010 @Cafe bonus — Eligible participating @Cafe locations only; optional local overlay, not a permanent base-rate change.
  • Pegasus Scroll sale — Main and Free servers; different listed prices; optional local overlay, not a permanent base-rate change.
  • Trader Live scheduled exchanges — Norse, Poring, Alice, Yoyo, Picky; optional local overlay, not a permanent base-rate change.
  • RO Retro contest — Facebook/BBS promotion spanning Renewal; optional local overlay, not a permanent base-rate change.
  • Infinity Story screenshots and conditional bonus — Screenshot event crossing the Renewal boundary; reward activation unconfirmed; optional local overlay, not a permanent base-rate change.
