Hello OldSquaders & Guests,
This month we are reaching 2 years since OldSquad was born !
Before proceeding with the updates list I’ll say few words.I won’t talk about first year because I already talked about it last year so I will tell you some words about this second year.
On february 2017 we released our Max30RR server under a completely new system that brought an unique experience to it’s players.We reached a record of 900+ online in 2 months after it started which pleased us a lot as it was the biggest record registered in our Community.As always, we encountered a lot of problems and bad people during it’s edition but we succeed to overcome all of them and worked our ass to make the server as close as possible to perfection.There were hundreds of lines of updates and improvements during it’s first 4-5 months which brought it near perfection.Max30RR is still online after more than 10 months and it’s
waiting a new edition on February 2018!
We also released our first edition of NonReset on September this year which also touched a record of 850+ online at it’s first month.We again encountered problems with hackers, antihack, bad people but we fought hard and overcomed any issues that hitted us.NonReset also had a lot of improvements, new features and fixes since it started and we’re still working on it to bring it close to perfection.The number of players dropped out but this will never stop us from getting better and better and offer the best quality to our loyal players!
OldSquad was formed with only one objective : to become the best MU Online Community and we will work hard and never stop developing it until it will reach it’s objective, and not even then.
You can track many of the updates for both servers for the past year here :
Just a moment...
We have big plans for this new year and many surprises for you so stay tunned.
In the end I want to thank from all my heart to all the people that helped us during this year including both staff and players, and ofc, special thanks to
@SouLSet for his site works and holding my back in this journey.

Other changes :
- Increased sphere level 5 drop in Vulcanus a little.
- Increased overall jewels drop a little for mobs over level 80 (medium and high maps, not the maps for alts)
- Nerfed the buff effects on RF's to be equal with the other chars on World PvP (they were OP due to these buffs as they could both TANK and do shitloads of damage) - their 1v1 power is the same.
- Reworked Bonus System as on this stage other bonuses are kinda useless :

On weekends (Saturday, Sunday) Bonus System will increase normal exp with 100% and ML exp with 50% (as it is already).
- Now you can't delete characters over Level 10! So with this change you are able to fully protect your account with the /lock command.

In order to dismantle the packs you can use command /part NAME SIZE where NAME = jewel name and SIZE = 10, 20 or 30.
Attention : You can play with this commands as it will also transform 30b pack into 20b +10b and any combinations.
The cost of this command is 5kk zen per use.
- Spreaded the mobs from Devil Square much more so it won't be some overpower spots anymore.
- Many other small adjustments overall.
Max30RR :
- Added the new Helpers System.
- Added the new Wings Level 4 System (with the difference that the Wings Protector will always spawn at 21:30 due to the low population).
- Added the new Client.
Newbies experience :
- Improved Experience for level 1-400 (including stages exp).
- Increased Hearts & Medals drop rates.
- Now Ring of Warrior level 40 will drop an item for the character that is dropping it instead of random item.
- New Helpers System and added Helper1 (Dev3) and Helper2 (Losttower7) on NonReset :
Helpers are GM characters that are online 24/7, and they are disconnected only on maintenances/server disconnects.
Helpers are attacking on first spots in Dev3 and Losttower7 and always have Auto Party on.
The role of helpers is to help newbies on the low maps where they wouldn't find many people to party with.
- What's new on this Helpers System compared to current Max30RR Helpers?
They will ALWAYS be the party masters (if you are the first player in the party, or you somehow get into 1st slot of party it will disconnect -> reconnect you to put the Helper as PM) - no more depending on others to put the auto party.
You won't be able to leave their locations anymore and keep the slot busy if you are in party with them (whenever you try to move to other maps or leave their zones of EXP you will be teleported back near them).
If you DIE (by monsters or players) you will be 'disconnected' by putting you into Select Character stage (you won't keep the slot busy if you are dead and AFK) - when you enter back you will be moved automatically to the Helper zone until you leave party.
- Another unique feature implemented : Fairness Gaps
What's this feature about ? Well, we all experienced moments when high players started to kill full maps of newbies just by frustration or just because they want to harm us.
Also people experienced many times frustrations like : One guy with let's say 250 level is struggling to kill his first WW/Golden Budge or Golden + 3 and a high level player just come at the end and kill him and get his rewards and work.
This are kinda sad things which aren't promoting a real PvP but are descouraging people in playing here, I can't even imagine what's the satisfaction of doing such things apart from being a coward player.
This feature is here to prevent all of this things from happening anymore.
- This feature will disable the option of attacking a player if it's much lower in level than you.
- The feature is having a vice-versa also, players much lower than you can't also attack you.
- The Fairness Gaps are :
400 -> 50 Levels
350-399 -> 60 Levels
300-349 -> 70 Levels
240-299 -> 80 Levels
170-239 -> 90 Levels
100-169 -> 100 Levels
Examples :
Players with level 400 can't kill players under level 350
Players with level between 350 and 399 can't kill players with 60+ levels difference (For example level 399 player can't kill players under level 339; Level 350 can't kill players under level 290, etc.)
Players with level between 300 and 349 can't kill players with 70+ levels difference (For example level 349 player can't kill players under level 279; Level 300 can't kill players under level 230, etc.)
Players with level between 240 and 299 can't kill players with 80+ levels difference (For example level 299 player can't kill players under level 219; Level 240 can't kill players under level 160, etc.)
Players with level between 170 and 239 can't kill players with 90+ levels diffeiference (For example level 239 players can't kill players under level 149; Level 170 can't kill players under level 90, etc.)
Players with level between 100 and 169 can't kill players with 100+ levels difference (For example level 169 can't kill players under level 69)
- Feature is disabled on ML levels (there isn't any gap between level 400 players doesn't matter ML).
- Feature is disabled on Gens Maps (Atlans,Relics,Raklion,Vulcanus) and also on Karutan2 & Swamp.
- Feature is disabled at CS,LoT,CC,Arena Tournament,IT,Duel Arena and Lorencia Ring.
Attention : We decided to cancel the idea of the speed server due to multiple reasons including the busy period that is coming (Christmas & New Year) and other internal reasons that make it not worth.
So, because of that, this changes will improve a lot the newbies experience here and there is no need of the speed server anymore.
Client :
- Splitted the Launcher of Max30RR and NonReset, now each of them have it's own updates.
- Added a new select server screen.
- Updated calendar with the latest updates and also fixed some of the mistakes from it.
- Added the new Custom Mixes and W4 Models that you voted for.
- Fixed some wrong messages/texts.
Site :
- Added a minimum level of 250 in order to sell items into Web Market
- Increased the total items that can be added to Web Market per day for an account from 15 to 30.
- Auction System will be added this days as it's almost ready !
OSGM :

Starting from this edition, there will be a minimum of 3 Weekly Events per week and a maximum of 5 Weekly Events per week.
Also, the Weekly Events can be also held on Weekends (so days of events are random but announced with 3-10 hours before).
The rewards for this month will be announced soon.
New Wings Level 4 System :
Wings Level 4 Lore :
A long time ago the MU Land was ruled by 2 significant names, Balgass and Kundun, who joined forces with only one objective : Destroying anyone in their path who tried to stand in their way.
But things weren't as simple as they seemed, on paper they should have ruled supreme, but our MU citizens proved to be resourceful in overcoming the threat of these two cruel rulers.
After being defeated multiple times, Balgass decided that Kundun's help alone was not enough for their plans to succeed, so they summoned from the underworld a new and bigger threat than themselves, to aid them in their quest for domination : Selupan
Time passed and Selupan realised that he was much stronger than both Kundun and Balgass, he decided to leave their alliance and create his own. That was the moment when Medusa joined him as a partner, their new goal : Destroying OldSquad World.
But just like Balgass had his own army and Kundun to help him, Selupan had a thirst for power and wanted an army of his own, he used his slaves from Raklion and Medusa's slaves from the Swamp. Then he created 2 new minions to add power to his own army : So came into being the Bloody Witch Queen and the Cursed Dragon which were sent to fight with MU citizens and attack our world while Selupan and Medusa were gathering enough energy and strength to join the battle.
As good always finds a way to triumph over evil, both of their minions were defeated multiple times by our defenders. This couldn't pass unnoticed by Balgass so he realised that Selupan was vulnerable, and he saw his opportunity to regain the throne of Evil had come. As their forces weren't enough to face Selupan alone, they made a compromise and asked our MU citizens for a colaboration.
This colaboration has lead to a pact between Balgass and them, where upon Balgass will summon a new minion called 'Wings Protector' which contains an old and lost artifact that can be used in forging a new tier of Wings for our MU citizens that can help them to finally defeat Selupan forever and grant Balgass and Kundun their supremacy of Evil.
OldSquaders were clever enough to accept and to sign this pact, because they knew that Balgass and Kundun are the lesser of the two evils and would be much easier to defeat in the future, should they attack them again, it made sense to join forces and defeat Selupan and his army. So they signed it and the new Wings tier entered our world!
But, what they didn't know when they signed it, is that it gives both Balgass and Kundun a long period to get stronger than ever, and it's very possible that Balgass and Kundun have a surprise in store for the MU citizens, after the OldSquaders have forged the first wings and defeated Selupan...
Wings Level 4 System :
To upgrade your Wings level 3 to Wings level 4 you have to pass a kinda big challenge.
Firstly, just like for wings level 3 with feather of condor, you need to mix a special item before mixing the wings level 4 themselves.
There are 3 special items : Goat Statue, Hawk Statue and Oak Charm.
Goat Statue is needed if you want to upgrade Wings level 4 for : BK,SM,MG
Hawk Status is needed if you want to upgrade Wings level 4 for : DL and RF
Oak Charm is needed if you want to upgrade Wings leve l4 for : ELF and SUM
How you can make this special items ?
You need to mix the following things at Chaos Goblin in Noria :
- 1x Old Box 3
- 1x Old Box 4
- 1x Old Box 5
- 1x Chaos
- 5x Creation
- 1x 30b Bundle
- 1x 30s Bundle
- 1x Weapon 380 + 13 + Add16 (No Explosion Blade / Sylph Wind Bow)
- 400kk zen
You have 50% chance to obtain a random special item (from Goat Statue, Hawk Statue and Oak Charm) and 50% to fail and lose everything.
After you acquire the idol/charm that you are interested for your own upgrade the next hard part is coming :
You need to aquire a Talisman of Luck, which is an old artifact that is dropped by the new minion Wings Protector.
Wings Protector is a kinda-weak minion from the new army of Selupan and Medusa (even weaker than Cursed Dragon) but it's a sneaky one!
He is spawning ONLY 1 time per day and ABSOLUTELY random as time (but 70% of times from 12:01 PM 23:00 PM and 30% of times from 23:01 PM to 11:59 am).
It will always announce when it is spawning and also when it is killed / when he retreat.
It will stay 1 hour after he is spawned.
He can spawn on both Vulcanus and Raklion and it won't be specified on announcement (but he won't have total random spawn, he have 4 spawns on each of the map).
After you defeat him and acquire your Talisman of Luck you can proceed with the next and last step which is the Wings Level 4 Upgrade Mix.
You need to mix the following things at Chaos Goblin in Noria:
- Idol/Charm (depends on what wings level 4 you want).
- Wings Level 3 + 13 + Add16 (your class wings, if you mix SUM wings3 you will get SUM wings4, if you mix ELF wings3 you will get ELF wings4, etc.)
- 2x 30b Bundle
- 2x 30s Bundle
- 1x 30harmony Bundle
- 1x Chaos
- 1x 10creation Bundle
- Talisman of Luck
- 1000kk zen
You have 100% chance to success with the upgrade !
Attention again :
If you mix Charm and W3 Elf + 13 you will gain W4 Elf.
If you mix Hawk Idol and W3 RF you will gain W4 RF.
Conclusion : It's an upgrade of your old wings.
Info about Wings Level 4 :
- W4 can be equippend only by chars with Quest level 3 made and MINIMUM 100 MASTER LEVEL (It won't show the ML requirement on client but it's needed to equip them).
- W4 starts with 60% dmg and 60% absorb at +0 and grows only by 1% per level (at +9 are the same with W3 + 15).
- Currently you can't upgrade W4 more than + 9 but we'll add the option in the future if we'll consider to (so at +15 would be +6% dmg and abs compared to W3).
- Increase defense by Level * 10 compared to W3 of Level * 4 and starting with 15 bonus def (at +9 it have 150 def compared to 126 of W3 + 15).
- Options from life are +6 +12, +18, etc. compared to +4, +8, +12 of W3 (dmg,wizz and deff bonuses only - recovery is the same).
- W4 have +2% chance for Ignore, Ref, Complete Life and Complete Mana (7%) compared to W3's 5%.
- W4 will always come with atleast 1 option of this 4 on any MIX, with a maximum of 2 options (75% for 1 option, 25% for 2 options).
