Of the many upcoming changes, I like other players have my own opinions on the priority of these changes and how we should implement them. Here’s part of list with some explanation of what I feel should be priorities going forward. This in no way reflects what Aeria shall work on first or suggest to the developers to finish. These are simply my opinions and will work in connection with the other Game Sages and Masters for a more democratic approach…
May have noticed over last week that AndoSky and the team has been rather quiet lately and only thing that seems to happen on a daily basis is inordinate amounts of the thing we all know and despise, lag most foul. Fortunately the “no news is good news” idiom will hold true once again as the work behind the scenes has never been more feverish. While I can not tell you when, or the details of all the great upcoming updates, I can certainly preview some of the great things in store!
There are a magnitude of upcoming updates so lets take a good look at them now… Read the rest of this entry »

ANDO’S SATURDAY BIG STRESS TEST DROP PARTY EVENT #2
Starts 11AM PST (2PM EST / 19:00 GMT) – both servers!
Since last weekend’s event went so well, I’m running another drop party this SATURDAY to encourage everyone to log in at the same time and do a final stress test of the servers.
To encourage as many players as possible to log in at that time, I’ve decided to sweeten the event I’ll run if we can get a lot of people on. Here’s the plan: Read the rest of this entry »
Most players know about the changes suggested by players, seen in threads such as this thread by Alialime or on this suggested changes page on the Turf Battles Wiki.
What many my not realize it that there are a number of future updates planned for Turf Battles that already exist in the Korean version, known as Sephiroth. For those of you who either have not seen this game or have not spent the time digging through the Korean site, here’s a sneak peak of what we can expect to see. Here below, in no particular order:
Extended Eastern South Daria (East Ladianes)
As most players know, the Eastern map of Ladianes is only partially finished at this time. However that will change.
The extended area is divided into two areas dominated by 2 monsters tribes; the decayed ghost town of Vehellion and the polluted area in the North East. Both of these areas have unique monsters.
It will still be impossible to save the teleport locations and teleport in the extended area. However, there are 5 Crystal Shifters in the extended East area. Once a Crystal Shifter NPC has been spoken to, players can use move to that shifter by speaking to any other shifter in the area.
In these areas you will see a bunch of new monsters, approximately 35 new species. While killing these monsters, players will find new drops similar to the “Bloody Elements” which can be turned in for great rewards.
Finally, a grand total of 30 new quests will be added, 25 of which will be one time only per character, while the other 5 will be daily quests. Read the rest of this entry »

AndoSky is planning to run a drop party on Sunday in Turf Battles to get everyone to log in at the same time on Sunday to help stress the servers.
To encourage as many players as possible to log in at that time, we’ve decided to sweeten the event I’ll run if we can get a lot of people on. Here’s the plan:
We may also turn on an Exp event after the event if things go well

Foreword:
If you ask most players they will tell you the lag improvements are helping, however there are still some issues during our peak hours when the servers are the most full. Since we want to encourage new players to try Turf Battles we decided this would be a good time to add another server while the Devs continue to fix the lag. The new server will be a good place for new players to create characters and will allow veteran players a place to escape for a while when their server is getting full.
Not a Sub-server
Ideally we’d like to add another sub-server, however we’ve been informed that the islands are currently designed with 2 sub-servers in mind. So this will have to wait for the time being and instead we will be setting up a brand new server.
The New Server: Triumphus
We are setting up a new server named Triumphus, which will mean existing characters won’t be present there. This will be good for newer players. Also this time the new server is not quite as beefy as the other servers, but we’ll test it out and see how it does.
Q&A
Q: Why a new server, I don’t want to start a new character
A: You don’t have to make a new character, please keep playing on Mystic Read the rest of this entry »
Closed Beta is now over! Welcome to the Beta Stress Test
We have now wiped characters for the final time. Now we will wrap up with a “Beta Stress Test”, the last step before we officially declare Open Beta.
During this time we’d like to encourage all of the Turf Battles players to help us by playing as much as possible to ensure the recent fixes work as intended. This will last until early February or when we feel confident there’s no problems, after which time Open Beta will officially being (with no 2nd wipe).
We’d really like to fill up the entire server so to help encourage people to play we’ll be running a big leveling contest: Read the rest of this entry »
As we near the end of our third Closed Beta, many players wonder how we will progress into Open Beta and then beyond into Official. To clear up some misconceptions and get everyone on the same page, please not only read the below but pass this information around, especially in-game.
1. For the last couple of days, there have been a number of leveling events and drop parties. As of now, the leveling event is over and no other players will be leveled up. Those who were leveled should have been given enough experience to reach level 190, if and only if they replied correctly to the sign up thread. No one else will be leveled for the rest of Closed Beta or ever again for that matter in Turf Battles. Drop parties may continue to the end of Closed Beta 3 but will not continue into Open Beta.
2. Closed Beta 3 will be wiped at the end of the week or shortly thereafter, however this will also be the last time Turf Battles is wiped. If some sort of game-stopping glitch is discovered in OB or Official expect a roll-back or if serious enough, indefinite downtime. Read the rest of this entry »
