Big Updates!
June 24th,2010
We've been through a lot of hard times. Although, today is the start of something exciting. We finally updated our server to standards to please the players. To compensate for the hardships caused earlier, we are extending a very special event. Double experience and increased drop rates for a limited time for everyone with a choice of a cool headgear from our selection which will be provided later this week. Baby Third Jobs have been added to the server yet will require a specific quest to gain access to them. This is only a taste of our current updates we have in store for you all. We do want this server to meet the expectations of not only our players yet our standards set by us, SanctityRO Staff.
Thanks for your support,
[Event]Double Experience Extended!

Thanks for your support,
Forum & Staff Changes
May 18th, 2010
We've undergone a few more updates and staff changes within the past few weeks. I would like to introduce two new GM additions to the team, Ymir & Jacques for joining us. They are pretty skilled and friendly to talk to. If you spot one of them in town, ask them a few questions. We have discussed as a staff to be more in game active to give players a feel that a GM is always nearby when needed.
We are undergoing a small forums change tonight to a more secure one. There was nothing wrong with the previous one yet it had a few bugs that needed to be taken care of. I've tried to attend to these issues yet we found it easier to switch engines to a more sturdy stable version. The forums should be back up later before tomorrow morning.
Keep playing and enjoy!
Server Updates Inbound
April 25th, 2010
Attention all SRO players, this weekend has been a hassle for not only me yet everyone on the staff. We've listened to your suggestions and concerns on the forums. This week is dedicated to making tweaks and additions to the server in terms of development. The server is undergoing small improvements everyday to ensure a nice outcome in the end. Please note, the server is only four months old to this date. My staff and I have faith that we can catch the server up on much needed updates for everyone to enjoy. With the increase in population, SRO is starting to climb the charts and gain good favor among the RO community as being a server with great potential. I intend to keep that vision and prove it right within the following month. I will be extending my team to accomodate for not only most of the work load yet contribute to future developments. Players may notice some new faces on the staff pretty soon.
Guild towns have been added to the server due to high demand. I'm working hard on implementing a decent system for players to utilize in their town for their guild. I want the guild leader to feel that the price is right when investing into a town of their own. Please be patient as this does take some time to implement a sturdy system for everyone to agree on. While waiting, DS has been disabled for future tweaks and updates. On the other hand, I'm installing new events and systems in place to give the server a different feel from others. It will take some time yet be patient. The changes are coming to the server in small doses for quality insurance. We ask you, our players, to have some faith in us while we undergo this process. Your suggestions and concerns do matter to us. Unlike other servers, your opinion does matter along with others from the community.
Appreciate your support,
New Dedicated Server Host
April 12th, 2010
At last, Sanctity RO has been transferred to its very own dedicated server. This server is located in Dallas Texas at Softlayer’s outstanding data center. The server did not come at a nominal price; however, I do not mind sacrificing myself to make certain that our community will have enjoyable memories here. I truly appreciate all of the accommodating support given by the community who has stuck with us through our pleasurable and dreadful times. With that said, it has truly motivated SRO staff to continue on striving to become one of the top mid rate server out there. If you knew of someone that has left due to connectivity issues, please ensure them that we have fixed the problem that has plagued us with downtime over the past month. I compensation planned in my agenda for the dilemma given by our previous server hosts ruining our players’ entertainment. Please check the link below for more information about it.
We are planning on resuming development with the server very shortly around Tuesday or Wednesday. We need a break after all this relentless back and forth. Makai is still under development yet may be delayed a little longer due to the recent misfortunes. I do hope you all remain loyal players of ours since we do appreciate your patience and cooperation with everything.

New Record 100 Players Online!
March 28th, 2010
Considering my recent inacitivty which has been caused by real life issues, I've been working slowly onto something new for our server. I've posted an interesting new thread on the forums under the Announcements section hoping you guys will enjoy a little taste of what I have in store. I am working hard on making this Episode update a very unique and fun one. Yet, I will be taking time out of the developing to help get some recent bug reports and new things implemented as well.
Congratulations to us! We've finally hit 100 Players online average! It's a great response to help encourage us to continue what we are doing. Apparently, whatever we are doing....we are doing it right!
I appreciate everyone's patience as it is highly appreciated,
[Event] Increased EXP Weekend
March 20th, 2010
Since, we've been plagued by recent downtimes, which have been fixed now. I've asked for permission from Prodigy to start this event. When you go in-game, you should noticed a slight increase in rates. This will only last until Tuesday morning. So please take the liberty of inviting friends and leveling up during this boost of EXP! Please remember to stay active and write us a review sometime soon. We are happy to support our players and appreciate their patience with us. It's glad to see such loyal players by our side.
Thanks for understanding,
Scheduled Maintenance
March 18th, 2010
Due to the recent random crashes, I've think I've figured out a way to solve it once and for all. I am going to schedule a downtime period to allow me to fix this problem. Now, the downtime will be around 1AM EST - 7 AM EST on Saturday. This means it will not last this long but be expecting of an hour of downtime for me to fix the bug. You will not lose your items or character stats or experience any rollbacks. It's purely serverside issue that I intend to fix.
I apologize for the inconvience that the random downtimes may have caused,
Vote For Points System Modified
March 17th, 2010
Players will now receive cashpoints for voting which will be exchangeable at an NPC later this week for your tokens instead of the current system. If your storage has been bugged by Gold Coins that cannot be moved or used, please make a post in this thread and we'll fix it as soon as possible.

We've been busy working on a few new things. Just be patient as many ideas are still being planned and formulated to creation. I've listened to everyone's concerns and suggestions and taken liberty to address them to Prodigy for immediate action or consideration. He states, "We'll get to work on all these changes this weekend.". I take his word to heart as being a staff member so please be patient with our development process.
Recent Updates
March 11th, 2010
Dear Players,
With the big increase in bugs lately, I've taken liberty to fix atleast 90% of the ones listed as high priority on our list. Today, I've released a new patch that should bring you all some peace of mind since it will fix the chat bug that plagued us lately. The client update is a massive step as we can now start installing some cool new items that will be donation available as well as questable in game at a point in time (or vice versa). If you encounter any bugs with the new patch, please post a report in our forums for a quick response or solution to the issue.Devil Square has grown immensely popular the past few days although had a few glitches. Cheshire has removed it for the time being to focus on fixing the actual problem within the game. As a side note, I'm well awared that the event Poop started six days ago is still in effect. This increased drop rates will end sometime Saturday morning. I've decided to extend it longer for the downtime and recent bugs we've had lately as compensation. I do hope you guys take this to a new level and really play your hearts out. I will be getting some new things added this week as far as events, quests, or items go. I just hope you all will continue reporting bugs and being the great community that you are.
Thanks for your patience,
[Event] Special Event
March 5th, 2010
Due to an increase in population over the past week, I've came up with a brillant idea. Starting sometime today, you should notice a slight increase in normal drop rates. This slight increase will only last until Monday 7:00AM EST (-5 GMT). With this awesome event I've created, you should notice a few bug fixes and suggestions being answered finally due to the hard work by our staff. Our widely known event,Devils Square, should be back up while having a significant increase in difficulty due to the addition for third classes! So always remember. Enter at your own risk!
New Additions
March 2nd, 2010
Dear Players,
I'm working hard on adding in some new things this week. Expect some cool events and changes going on in game. I will like to say a few things though. The donation bug that has been on the website from the start has been fixed. You should start receiving your credits instantly now. Please always check the changelog posted by me every week for any changes. We try to keep it updated with every major and minor change we make to the server. This is for your benefit as well as to us to track the progress we are making. Mike and Matthew are working hard on some custom quests to add within this week. Please make a suggestion if you want to have some input on that development.
New Website Design
Dear Players,
We are now introducing to you all the new and improved web design. This web design was provided by us through some donations made by you players. I love the support we've gotten from our players and other potential new comers. You will notice some big changes in terms of website layout and control panel wise. The control panel is now integrated within our website design to keep it fluent and smooth. We've provided you guys a server status bar although right now is broken due to some connction issues. Please note that only the users online content is right and not the server status. The server is indeed ONLINE! We are working on some new events to help promote ourselves to the top. Please be patient as we are working hard on new updates coming soon. Thanks for your patience and support.
