Episode evidence: contextual assignment. Context only; no authenticated Thai subnumber for Louyang recovered. thai_episode_book_toc

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

• Louyang maps, monsters and items reported. Evidence: mirror candidate. thai_mirror

Player guide

Louyang adds another regional set of maps, monsters and items in the reported Thai sequence.

What to explore in this stage

• Explore the released Louyang areas and their quest entry points.

Before the local update

• The exact Thai access steps and spawn tables remain to be recovered.

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 Thai map/quest/monster/drop bundle and its original rollout notice.
• Keep regional release timing independent of international Episode numbering.

Character and world migration

• Review new access flags and safe travel destinations.

Acceptance checks

• Quest gates, return travel and map collision work with the selected client.
• Only approved regional items enter shops and drop pools.

Affected areas: world, quests, monsters, items.

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

• Thai release date.
• Maps and spawns.

Sources and official records

Original operator documents, republications, reporting and foreign comparisons are labelled separately. A source listed here is not proof that every rule in it applies to this stage.

Source details and limitations

• Later mirror of early Thai operator announcements — operator material republication; attributed operator material republication. thai_mirror Access: later mirror html inspected; original provenance incomplete. Later mirror; provenance chain incomplete. Scheduled dates may not be deployment dates. Regional monster headings appear mixed; nearby no-reset and level-reduction claims need separation. Copied mirrors are not independent corroboration.
• Indexed contents of a retrospective Thai RO book — retrospective reference; news or update index. thai_episode_book_toc Access: search excerpt only; direct PDF 404; historical chapters unread. Only search-indexed contents inspected; direct PDF currently returns 404. Full historical chapters not read. Secondary numbering lead, not evidence for patch dates or numerical mechanics. Ayothaya labelled 8.0; early labels differ from operator-notice mirror.
