well, there is no official news about rank 8 announced at iToS version but many people keep their high hopes releasing at AUG 2016? i only saw the official announcement at krToS but never at iToS. the only part i saw is, they will sync the current krToS patches to our iToS servers, but nothing to do with rank 8. but why people keep misinterpreting it? or i am the one who read it wrong?
Read the announcements before posting :V
well if logically when we getting kTos . then any update on kTos should effect iTos right ? thats the logically answer that we can think off . but yeah . its IMC that we talking about . so we still need their answers
correct me, which link did you see that?
like i said, kTOS patch can be meaning current content not rank 8?
those are news, it has nothing to do with release at iToS?
put it this way. a honda civic is released at Japan. would that mean you get instantly next day at your country?

They are merging us into Ktos. Meaning (in theory) anything that happens to them, happens to us and vice versa. At least the databases or what-have-you. It’s not 100% that we will see the Rank 8’s the same day they do, but it’s more than likely. (Plus people would burn down houses, start riots, and kill other folks and kittens; and we can’t have kittens being killed, now can we?)

No, no 8 rank at ITOS pls, I’m not even 240 lvl, lol. Ya, I know, my problems, but they should wait 20 days for 8 rank release. And we still don’t know cleric and archer classes. And don’t forget, all classes are under development, a lot of things can change.

Yes, if said <-Country Here-> and Korea got tired of making two different cars for people and said screw it, we’re combining forces to make one decent car.<-Database Merge to make it easy to patch together as they were trying to keep the two clients different but is cause to much hassle->
EDIT: For Sense~
It’s a repository merge.

that explanation makes sense, but doesn’t mean that merging into a same database has to release it at the same time too 
may be we are a few weeks or 1-2 months after? as the korean game style, they don’t really release newest stuff with the same pace to other version (like krtos and itos). look at how they did back to DEC 17 2015. they released krToS at that date, itos players kept dreaming big iToS will come soon at JAN 2016 but in fact end of MAR 2016. probably it can be earlier than i thought, but i still don’t think we will enjoy the same release date with krtos.
Coding wise, they are fking themselves up if they don’t synchronise the version number between iToS and kToS after the merge. It’s much easier to manage to repository if they just update both at the same time.
But again, as other stated, this is IMC with their korean is superior policy. They may release version to kToS first again just to please the korean.
There is hope though. I heard some Korean already jump ship to iToS, and seeing how there are only 100+ players left in kToS, IMC may decide to focus on us.

this one i totally agree. they don’t actually release on the same pace. 2 weeks is too close for them for bug fixing. a lot toxic and voices at iToS. they could hold it longer may be a month or 2?
Afaik they already applied our version to the korean version, probably the version in korean is already the merged version, so what they do is just use the korea version on us.
I’m just being optimistic though. Players are coming back due to these chain event announcement. I hope they don’t fk up too much.
same version != same release date
It thnk they mean the main repository merged, then we have kToS branch and iToS branch. Both doesn’t necessary are same
The merging only mean they are now only doing development on 1 repository instead of develop the same thing on 2 different repositories, but IMC also can control which files only to update into iToS brance. Anyway, yes we can expect faster delivery since Development+Testing is only 1 cycle, but once the translation done, skills balancing and bugs solved, then they can almost immediately apply the update on iToS.
yea, this is what i thought off too. the rank 8 release time doesn’t mean have to be same like krtos, itos can be a month later or what.
They are releasing one rank 8 sneak peek a week. 1 for archer, 1 for cleric. Then another week before announcing, and one more after. If they slip in a video promotion, they can stall one more week. I mean this is IMC, they know how to (over)hype things. And logically any dev will want to stall as much as possible in this havoc (bugs + repo merge + update)
So yeah I guess it won’t be so soon even if kToS = iToS
