Soldiers of the Wasteland

A gigantic game update/patch was released for Requiem: Memento Mori yesterday. The patch was applied during the scheduled maintenance period and the changes it introduces are numerous.

Updates include changes to skills and DNA, Season 1 and 2 items, EXP and lant drop increases among certain monsters/dungeons, battlefield updates, new quests, bug fixes and more. You can read the full list of patch notes on the official forums.

The changes to the skills and DNA seem to have come at an odd time, considering that the free skill respec items given to plays by Gravity were set to expire by this maintenance period. Players were told to ‘use it or lose it’, but now players are in a situation where they’ve respecced their characters only to have everything changed on them again. Except this time, there are no free respecs (yet).

Thanks go to MerchantKill for the tip about the patch. If you would like to discuss this patch and the changes it brings, you can do so on our forums.

The highly anticipated update to Requiem: Bloodymare has finally launched after 3 long weeks of teasing update information. Requiem: Memento Mori is now available for download from the official site or it can also be grabbed through the torrent listed on the download page.

Alternatively for people who already have the game installed and who don’t want a copy of the installable client, you can just run the Requiem Launcher and it will download and apply the update from there.

All of the changes in Memento Mori can be found in the patch notes which are available on the Requiem forums.

Feel free to discuss Memento Mori and all of the changes it will bring, in the dedicated thread on our forums.

UPDATE

In addition to the new update there will also be a +50% EXP event for the next 2 weeks!

The announcement that all Requiem players have been eagerly waiting for, has finally been made!

Season 2 aka Requiem Alive has been officially titled Requiem: Memento Mori, and will be released on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 8pm PST.

At the moment only the title and release date have been made available to the public, however Gravity have teased that more information will be made available in the coming weeks, starting on September 7th.

Such information includes:
- DNA/Skill Changes
- DNA/Skill Descriptions
- Pet System
- Battleground updates

As more information is made available, we will be adding it to the Requiem: Memento Mori thread on our forums.

This week’s patch notes included the highly desired change to the SvS schedule. Players have been asking for more SvS times and a change in the timing schedule for a while now, to give more players the opportunity to participate in the events.

The previous timetable made it impossible for a lot of people (those with a 9-5 job for instance) to get in on the SvS action on any day apart from Saturday. The new timetable not only has more SvS events scheduled, but the event times are varied to accommodate for those who were unable to participate during the previous allocated time.

The changes to the SvS schedule are listed below-

Previous Schedule:
- Wed 10am / 5pm
- Fri 10am / 5pm
- Sat 10am / 5pm

New Schedule:
- Wed 10am / 5pm
- Fri 10am / 8pm / 11pm
- Sat 10am / 8pm / 11pm
- Sun 10am / 5pm

This week Gravity announced that they had entered partnership with a company that hosts online surveys. Due to this partnership, players are now able to complete surveys in exchange for Item Mall points which can be used freely in game.

So if you have some spare time on your hands and don’t mind answering some personal questions, head over to the survey page on the Requiem website (requires login) and start earning your Item Mall points. It should be stated our resident Requiem guru, MerchantKill, has already tested out the survey process and can confirm they are safe and free from any nasties, and that the points are delivered instantly.

It’s all above board, and officially sanctioned by Gravity, so what are you waiting for? Head on over to the survey page now and check to see if there are any there for you to fill out.

But that’s not all for this week…

For this week only there is a sale on the Skill Reset Item in the Item Mall as well as free skill and DNA purchases in game!

Thats right when you visit the ingame NPC you can purchase all the Skills and DNA your heart desired for 0 Lant.

Take advantage test out builds, make a new character and level, and get all the skills/DNA you wanted but couldn’t afford at 0 cost to you. (Source)

So it’s a pretty handy week for Requiem players – If you play your cards right, you could be able to fill out some surveys, earn enough points to buy a Skill Reset Item, respec your character and buy all new skills and DNA at absolutely no cost to yourself!
