Recently (August 15) Rappelz upgraded to Epic IV. I'm not sure on all the details on the changes, but there's a new newbie weapon, and stuff can glow now. There's also a new high level dungeon. Micko is inviting me to play Rappelz again, because he misses fantasy-setting MMORPGs. All the other MMORPGs we've been playing have been in real-world-based settings, like Granado Espada and SilkRoad Online. And yeah, playing a game of castles and dragons again could be fun. Not to mention a really well-structured game like Rappelz.

The only problem with the new Epic is that there seems to be a lot of bugs, particularly in the client. I dunno, it could be just my client installation. I'll try reinstalling later, but I didn't seem to get any errors while installing or patching. One example is the messed up configuration program. All the text is "Empty string". Another is the weird pop-up window you get in the client advertising their new high level dungeon, right after you log in. This is alright, but the UI has a problem with it, and doesn't show the channel/server selection window underneath it properly.

Then again, all those could still be with my own installation. I'll try reinstalling later, like I said.
