EXTENDED SERVER DOWNTIME

[Manga]

Attention Players: Today's Update includes 6 weeks of accumulated content and is massive enough that it has taken an uncommonly extended period of time to apply. We will be bringing the shards back up at 9 am PST Wednesday to ensure that we have ample staff on hand to monitor any difficulties that may arise when we bring up the shards. We will have the WorldMasters, the Developers, as well as Customer Support on hand to address our player's needs at that time.

We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause. [img]../images/temp/the_gatekeeper.jpg[/img]

The Gatekeeper V'Tieru awaits.

You can take a peek at the notes HERE!

9am...as in tomorrow!! *cries* I'll be at work! *grunts*

Everyone on order has to wait for me to get on before doing AROP!!! HA!

[Kipeo]

Can I make a suggestion? Post the notes as soon as you can. As soon as the servers go down if at all possible. It makes the bitter pill of extended downtime that much easier to handle if we know what it is we have to blame/look forward to for the longer downtime.

It also gives us something to discuss while waiting, rather then making up new topics to ********** about ;-)

Ha ha Asteral. And what time do you get off? If I can't wait for you I'll just have to go back and help you later [:P]

[Cera_Deadwood]

Nosdracir, you feel a bit feverish?! Looking a bit peekid....maybe you should go back to "bed" [:#] my lips are sealed.....

We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause.

Your joking Manga ...I willnever forgive you for putting soo much at ounce. [;)]

But as the other fellow said, if you had posted that list ealyer and said no logon today, I think no one would have wine about not logging on. This is a lot of patch at ounce ... good work. 6 weeks you say, cool, but my nagging side is wondering why waiting so long and accumulating soo much and do it at ounce? Like you mention you want full support staff their when you bring the shards up, I can't blame you, this is major work and also major risk. Good work.

New trimus .. almost feel like erasing a storage mule and start a neebie and see the new island, altough I trained on MB, so would not really be able to compare.

As a spellcrafter, many changes that I need to look at. And my second nature of plot builder need to look at the new stuff. Humm!! do I want to change the tree on my plot? A library maybe even if the storage stink?

Go Dev Go !!!! [Y][Y][Y]

[Sarpedos]

Well heck... I have no classes and no work tomorrow... I'll just stay up till a horrible hour doing productive stuff so I can wake up for lunch and HZ at noon!

*pities all the real people out there with jobs and stuff* ;p

[d3pharoah]

Wow so those of us who only have 14 days on the trial to see the game, and spent 3 days just trying to log in waiting for tech to get back with us, now lose another day due to this patch?
Maybe there is something planned to accomodate for the lost time....this doesn't bode well.

[Dragoniade]

Look... Passable.
I would have cheered it up if it wasn't for the Ancient Dragon getting Nerf and cheated after waiting so long... And no sign of rolling back on that size nerf.

Anyway, clad to see some issues I defended finally passing after like 5 months of argueing (Vexator negative range, cough)

[N'allii]

A day won't mess you up so much...sure it set me back a day to try to finish the crafting requirement for the RoP, but hey, I went outside, read a book. It's a good thing. :)

[DLMyth]

Well heck... I have no classes and no work tomorrow... I'll just stay up till a horrible hour doing productive stuff so I can wake up for lunch and HZ at noon!

*pities all the real people out there with jobs and stuff* ;p

Hehe, tomorrow is my sunday due to my work schedule[:P] I need to make sure I finish the Arop before going back to work on Thursday[:@] Wishing I had more sick time left over.

[IndyMan]

Added new and more diverse loot for Outpost event monsters.

I am interested in what this might be. Could it be "real" loot ? One can only hope

[Death-knell]

[Freak]

I was running a high fever, with vomitting and nausea when I woke up this morning.Well atleast that is what I told my work today. :)

[HratLi]

alright.....8:15 thier time. You guys on schedule?

Hehe... we'll find out in 10 minutes.

As for 'diverse' loot. Hehe... careful what you ask for, lest ye be deleting everything from potatoes to Salt Rock Bonus's to cracked Mitrhil skull caps from the 'loot' you pick up.
