here is the detail log of the Maintenance
Common Patch - Corrected skill damage error with some sorcerer skills. - Added the monster gravestone system. * When an MVP or major monster dies, it leaves a grave marker that shows the time of death and who killed it. * The gravestone will remain until the monster respawns. - Added the NPC 'Softhearted Degil' who provides special service to novices and character under 100. * If you are a novice level 10 or below, he will allow you to return to the Novice Training Grounds. * If you are a character below level 100, he will very inexpensively provide HP Recovery/Increase AGI/Blessing. * The NPC will be available in all major towns for the next two months. - To help new and returning users, the delay time for deleting characters is changed. * The waiting period is lowered from 24 hours to 10 minutes for the next two months. - Revised the Rune Knight and Mounted Rune Knight sprites. - Added the Costume System. * The costume tab is added to the equipment window, only headgears are available at the moment. * Costumes can be purchased through the cash shop. - Fixed the Memorial dungeon Baphomet boss monster so that when it uses the invincibility skill, the following skills will correctly deal 1 damage: "Thorn Trap", "Blast Mine", "Claymore Trap", "Meteor Assault", "Hell's Plant", and "Crazy Weed". - Corrected a bug where poison react would re-invoke when relogging. Main Servers - All servers now become free to play. Additional details available on the RO homepage. - The Cat Hand Headquarters on Malangdo Island is added. - New mounts added for all jobs are added. * The mounts can be purchased from the item mall. - Added floor 6 to Izlude Dungeon. Presently Izlude 6f is only available to Gold Netcafe users. - 30% Increased Experience and Drops event starts, lasting until December 8th. * Gold Netcafe users will have an additional 20% increased experience and drops during the event. - Because of the transition to free to play, some cash items are no longer available. Please see the notice on the RO homepage for additional details. - Added level 86 ~ 99 quests to floor 2 of the Eden Group building. - Added a new UI for the item mall. The existing item mall building will now only have the refine NPCs. - Corrected a bug where the Warlock skill "Crimson Rock" could stun party members. - Because of the transition to free to play, Item Mall purchases after November 24th are subject to changes made to the terms of service.

These items include: * Fly Wing, Butterfly Wing, Magnifier, Incubator, Concentration Potion, Awakening Potion, Berserk Potion, Yggdrasil Leaf, Empty Bottle, Blue Gemstone, Medicine Bowl, Special Alloy Trap Box, Special Alloy Trap. - Because maintenance starts at midnight, preparations are in place for restoring guild treasures. In each castle there will be a 'treasure summoner' that the guild master can talk to to have treasures restored. Sakray Test Server - Sakray server has been re-initialized (wiped player data). - The attack speed formula has been rolled back to the same as the main servers (in preparation for work on the new attack speed formula). - Added the replay system. * Added an REC button below the character information window that allows you to record gameplay for playback. * When you start recording, you can set it so that character stats and equipment are not recorded. * Replay files are located in the RagnarokReplay folder located in your Ragnarok install folder.
