Important Updates for Launch of V2.6!

1. Server Maintenance & V2.6 Patch Update
There will be a server maintenance for Granado Espada on 03 July 2008, Thursday, 0900hrs to 04 July 2008, 0900hrs (GMT+8) for the implementation of V2.6 The Requiem expansion. Players are recommended to avoid activating time-based premium items during this period.

2. Remove All Your Items from Market Manager & Cabinet
Players are advised to remove all their items in the market manager and cabinet prior to the maintenance. Items in the Market Manager and Cabinet will be wiped out when we upgrade to the next version.

3. V2.6 Manual Patch / Full Client Download Links
If you had logged into Granado Espada today, you would have noticed that there are 5MB patches everytime you log in. In order to prevent server overload on the day of V2.6 The Requiem launch, mini packets of 5MB patches will be downloaded to your client everytime you open your launcher.

There are a total of 44 packets of 5MB patches to be downloaded that would enable your current client to patch to V2.6 client.

What happens if I have downloaded all 44 packets? Will I be unable to log into the current V2.4 version?
No worries. You will still be able to log into the current V2.4 version.

What happens if I have NOT finished downloading all 44 packets? Will I be able to log into the V2.6 version?
You will then need to download the V2.6 manual patch to get the remaining files. Take note that you should only run the manual patch on or after 3 July 2008, Thursday.

You can download the manual patch from these following links.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE ONLY EXECUTE THIS MANUAL PATCH ON/AFTER 3 JULY 2008, THURSDAY, OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOG INTO THE CURRENT V2.4 VERSION.
