Episode evidence: contemporary thai editorial label. Thai-focused contemporary reporting names the preceding episode. Its displayed October date conflicts with a future-September preview, so it cannot establish a precise launch date. thai_veins_preview_20071019_conflict

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

• Rachel, Holy Ground and slot-enchant systems are content candidates; exact Thai date and per-item eligibility still need original notices. Evidence: cross region reference. iro_updates
• June 2007 Thai-language guides describe the collective Holy Ground opening and later character access quests. They also supply monster/drop leads, but do not identify a Thai production launch day; image-based monster tables remain unrecovered. Evidence: guide candidates realm unconfirmed. thai_holy_ground_access_guide_20070607, thai_holy_ground_monster_guide_20070613
• Recovered operator quest guide 373 lists Hammer[2] ×1, Rough Wind ×5 and Empty Scroll ×1. Helping Maheo awards four Freezing Snow Powder; returning the necklace to Urstialla then awards 700,000 EXP; the guide does not label this as Base or Job EXP. Its airplane.gat website header is explicitly a substitute map label, not the in-game starting location. The June 28, 2007 archive capture is not a publication or rollout date. Evidence: original operator quest guide recovered. thai_ice_necklace_quest373_original
• Operator guide 380 requires the preceding wizard quest and four Freezing Snow Powder to extinguish the four fires on ice_dun03. It states the fires return two hours after Ktullanux is killed and lists Water level 4, Brute and HP 4,417,000. This is an undated guide captured July 4, 2007, not a complete combat/drop table or proof of the Thai launch day. Evidence: original operator quest guide recovered. thai_ktullanux_quest380_original

Player guide

Rachel, Holy Ground and socket enchanting are the 11.1 content focus; the Thai release record and exact enchanting eligibility remain incomplete.

What to explore in this stage

• Distinguish the server-wide temple-opening effort from each character’s access quests; exact local requirements will be published after verification.
• Explore the qualified Rachel-region access quests.
• Check the item-specific socket-enchant rules before risking equipment.

Before the local update

• Do not assume every unslotted item is eligible or that the procedure preserves all item properties.

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 region and socket-NPC rollout notices.
• Specify eligible items, costs, failure outcomes and handling of refine/card data.
• Recover the temple donation and character quest rules separately; validate the guide’s proposed threshold against Thai production evidence.

Character and world migration

• Review affected item records and quest access flags; define conversion outcomes explicitly.
• Keep server-wide temple-opening progress separate from per-character quest completion.

Acceptance checks

• Eligible and ineligible equipment follow the documented paths.
• Failure and success outcomes preserve or destroy exactly the intended attributes.
• Regional quest gates and map access work end to end.

Affected areas: world, quests, 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.
• Socket npcs.
• Equipment.
• New cards.
• Temple shared and character state.
• Recover holy ground monster tables.
• Date original quest guide rules.

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

• iRO official update index — foreign operator original; news or update index. iro_updates Access: recorded in existing research no new fetch.
• Holy Ground access player guide — contemporary reporting; player guide. thai_holy_ground_access_guide_20070607 Document date: 2007-06-07. Access: web tool text inspected; direct fetch limitations in round4 packet. Not an operator rollout announcement. Language, publication date and mentions of player demand do not establish a Thai main-server launch date.
• Holy Ground monsters and equipment player guide — contemporary reporting; player guide. thai_holy_ground_monster_guide_20070613 Document date: 2007-06-13. Access: web tool text inspected; direct fetch limitations in round4 packet. Monster tables were images; plain text does not recover a complete stat/drop table. Advice and values require independent validation. Not a Thai production-date proof.
• Thai Veins preview with conflicting publication timing — contemporary reporting; news or feature report. thai_veins_preview_20071019_conflict Document date: 2007-10-19. Access: web tool text inspected; direct fetch limitations in round4 packet. Displayed October 19 date conflicts with the body promising 11.2 within September. Suitable for contemporaneous regional naming, not a precise rollout date or clean availability bound.
• Survivor equipment guide with Thai operator quest links — contemporary reporting; player guide. thai_survivor_set_guide_20070705 Document date: 2007-07-05. Access: guide text inspected; two linked operator quest bodies not retrieved. Official linked pages were not retrieved during this pass. Do not count the two URLs as recovered official content or use the July article date as a deployment date.
• Original Thai quest guide: helping the great wizard — thai operator original; archived original operator guide. thai_ice_necklace_quest373_original Archive capture: 2007-06-28. Access: text body read. Guide has no publication date. June28,2007 capture bounds documentation, not release day. User comments are separate community content and were not used for operator claims.

• Original Thai quest guide: summoning MVP Ktullanux — thai operator original; archived original operator guide. thai_ktullanux_quest380_original Archive capture: 2007-07-04. Access: text body read. Guide has no publication date. July4,2007 capture bounds documentation, not release day. Comments excluded.
