Episode evidence: contextual assignment. Dated client change between High-Class and the announced Einbroch update; no separate official episode number recovered. thai_multiclient_original_20050906

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 ​

  • Official client gains supported multiple windows after the September 7 patch. The September 6 notice tells players to launch Ragnarok again normally; available window count depends on machine resources. Evidence: original operator client notice. thai_multiclient_original_20050906
  • A cumulative High Class client page, indexed September 9 but captured November 24, later says Multiple Login was added on “7/11/2548”. That later-edited page does not overturn the separate September 7 Multiple Client notice. Whether it describes the same change, a revision or a date error remains unresolved. Evidence: mutable page later capture date claim. thai_highclass_cumulative_client_original_20051124

Player guide ​

The official client adds support for multiple game windows after the specified September 7 patch. This is a client-policy milestone, not a new job or map release.

What to explore in this stage ​

  • After the qualified local client update, open another game window through the normal launcher if that option is enabled.
  • Check the local account and session policy before using more than one character.

Before the local update ​

  • The original notice makes the practical window count dependent on machine resources. It does not define a universal numeric window limit or all account-concurrency rules.

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 ​

  • Pin a compatible client profile and document whether ordinary multiple-window launching is enabled at this stage.
  • Verify account/session rules independently; do not infer same-account simultaneous access from support for multiple processes.
  • Keep this client policy separate from world data and combat formulas.

Character and world migration ​

  • No character wipe or numerical stat migration is specified by this notice; review active-session handling for the local client update.

Acceptance checks ​

  • Two permitted sessions can launch and disconnect cleanly under the declared local policy.
  • Disallowed account reuse follows the intended login rules without corrupting characters.
  • Client policy does not unlock later maps, jobs or mechanics.

Affected areas: 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 ​

  • Confirm client rollout.
  • Compatible client policy.
  • Account session rules.
  • Resource limits.
