Hello, Ragnarok Online users.
This is the Ragnarok Online: ZERO Team from RO1 Studio.
Today, we would like to share information regarding the Siege War, which many of you have inquired about, in a Q&A format.
Q: Is it a bug that the siege is currently open?
A: Ragnarok Online: ZERO launched with 5 Hideouts in Prontera (Kriemhild, Svanhild, Randgrid, Skogul, Gondul) open.
It is normal for each Hideout to be occupied by monsters after the server opens, with an 
Emperium generated. If a guild has the 『
Official Guild Approval』 skill, they can destroy the Emperium and become the owner of the Hideout at any time.
Hideouts in other regions (Geffen, Payon, Al De Baran, etc.) will be updated at a later time.
Q: After a Hideout gets an owner, does the Emperium not regenerate?
A: It is normal for the Emperium to only be generated during Siege War hours. However! Initially, since the Hideout is occupied by monsters, the Emperium is generated regardless of Siege War hours, and once this Emperium is destroyed, it will not regenerate again.
The Emperium only regenerates during WoE Siege War hours (Wednesday 9 PM ~ 11 PM).
Q: Is it intended that you cannot attack other users?
A: PvP, where you can attack other users in the Hideout, is only possible during Siege War hours. If it is not during Siege War hours, it is normal that you cannot attack other users in the Hideout.
Q: Is it a bug that you can become the owner of a Hideout?
A: Since the launch of Ragnarok ZERO, the Siege War has been in a state where it could be conducted at any time.
However, the phenomenon where entering through certain inner castle 
Warp Portals causes you to be sent back out is not intended by the development team,
and this bug is scheduled to be fixed through the regular maintenance on 2018-01-03.
Q: Is it normal for attacks to land across walls?
A: Characters cannot move there, but there are terrains where ranged attacks are possible. It is normal to perform ranged attacks in such terrain,
and this applies commonly regardless of siege areas, regular fields, or dungeons.
Q: Isn't it a problem that monsters occupying the Hideout drop items?
A: The monsters occupying the Hideout are not unimplemented monsters. Although they are higher level than players, they are normally implemented
monsters. You can obtain items by defeating them.
Q: Is it possible to obtain the Hideout 
Treasure Box?
A: Yes, it is possible to obtain the Treasure Box in the Hideout. If you occupy the Hideout, a Treasure Box will respawn in the Guild Master's room every midnight,
and the quantity of the Treasure Box is determined by the commercial development level invested in the Hideout Steward.
Currently, the Treasure Box does not include the god-tier materials that many users are concerned about, but they are planned to be added
during a future update related to god-tier items.
Q: Why is it possible to move to the Hideout from the central flag in Prontera?
A: This is a feature added in ZERO that has not yet been applied to the original Ragnarok Online. Characters who have no guild and
whose Hideout has no owner can use the Hideout flag to move to the Hideout entrance. If the Hideout is occupied, only the
guild that occupies the Hideout and its allied guilds can use the flag.
Q: How did the 3 guilds currently occupying castles obtain their Hideouts?
A: There was an additional entrance allowing access from the outer castle to the inner castle, and in the case of Castle 3, it was possible to enter through the entrance.
