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

• The operator reports Novice Guild War added to main servers on September 26, 2005 after Sakray testing. Initial announced hours are Tuesday and Friday, 18:00–20:00. It is still described as a main-server trial; rewards will be announced later. Evidence: original operator deployment report. thai_novice_guild_war_original_20050926
• The captured rules allow Novice, High Novice and Baby Novice at Base Level 20 or below. Guild masters are excluded to prevent Urgent Call bringing other classes inside. That exclusion has no separate start date on this later captured page. Evidence: original operator rules with later amendment. thai_novice_guild_war_original_20050926
• Four castles cannot hire Guardians. During war, Novice Guild War Agents in Prontera, Geffen, Payon and Aldebaran send players to Izlude; the entrance is beside the Arena entrance. Map details, castle-object HP and respawn rules remain unverified. Evidence: original operator rules with later amendment. thai_novice_guild_war_original_20050926
• The page offers free guild creation with Guild Level 2 for Official Guild Approve, then marks this provision temporarily disabled on September 30, 2005. Keep this amendment separate from opening-day rules. Evidence: original operator dated amendment. thai_novice_guild_war_original_20050926
• A later notice schedules a change from October 25, 2005: main-server Novice Guild War on Tuesday/Friday 19:00–21:00; Sakray on Wednesday/Saturday 19:00–21:00. Its September 13 body header conflicts with an October 13 index date. The announced start is explicit, but completion is not established. Evidence: original operator schedule with document date conflict. thai_emperium_war_schedule_original_20051025

Player guide

A small-character guild war arrives for Novice, High Novice and Baby Novice. The operator reports a main-server trial, with rewards still to be announced.

What to explore in this stage

• Bring an eligible novice with Base Level at most 20 to the Novice Guild War Agent during war hours.
• Enter Novice Guild War beside the Izlude Arena entrance; the activity has four castles and no Guardian hiring.

Before the local update

• Keep the character within the level limit if you want to join this stage. Confirm the rules and local war hours before entering.
• The saved rules bar guild masters and contain a September 30 change to free guild creation. Do not assume every rule was present on the September 26 opening day.

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 four castle maps, agents, entry checks and guild rules for this activity. Keep it separate from ordinary WoE.
• Represent the September 26 opening, September 30 guild-creation amendment and October 25 announced timetable as separate dated changes.
• Leave rewards unset until their announcement is recovered; the current notice describes main-server testing.

Character and world migration

• Decide what happens to guilds created before free creation was suspended; the notice does not specify deletion or conversion.
• Review existing novice levels, guild leadership and class changes before enabling entry rules.

Acceptance checks

• Entry checks distinguish Novice, High Novice and Baby Novice; test Base Levels 20 and 21 and guild-master status.
• Four castles can be reached through the documented towns during war, and Guardian hiring stays unavailable.
• War hours follow the selected historical phase and realm; main-server and Sakray schedules stay separate.
• Published player instructions identify unresolved rewards and any reconstruction choices.

Affected areas: maps, NPCs, guilds, entry rules, war schedule, rewards.

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

• Novice war map and npc data.
• Dated rules and amendments.
• Guild master restriction start date.
• Castle rewards unannounced.
• War schedule by realm.

Separate realm / event overlays

• Emperium War and Novice Guild War timetable from October 25, 2005 — Realm-specific war hours; announced schedule, implementation completion not recovered; optional local overlay, not a permanent base-rate change.
