    We will be conducting a series of game server maintenance needs tomorrow. The server will be brought down at 11am CT for about an hour if all goes well.

    Details of the maintenance will be described after it has been completed.

    UPDATE: Server is back up! Here is what was worked on:

    - Scepter of Dread with no durability now has full durability.

    - A few players didn't get experience for a certain end-quest reward. These players will get individual emails stating their XP got bumped to the proper level.

    Thanks all for your patience during this brief maintenance period!

    That seems a little weird to say no?

    Easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. You know this community. :p

    So the doctor says, "We're going to sedate you and do some chopping... but we'll give you details later". That is what he means. I say stick to it, less complaining that way. :)

    If they're plugging a bug that players could exploit unnoticed until tomorrow at 11 NBT, then that's the best way to say it.

    why is ma thread like this not just locked from the start, there is not one thing that can come from any specutlation, criticism . . . . If something bad happened / is happening and will get fixed Great just tell us after words and TY for the heads up.

    Just make sure if it is a fix and it appears to be serious that anyone who abused it is dealt with, if oyu keep letting people slide the game slides with it.

    See more speculation,. not good for anyone.

    If you do not think player will find out you are wrong.

    Interesting that it required a server down to fix, but this was pretty much what I expected. Thanks for the update, @Berek!

    @Berek - I just checked my email and there's nothing there. I definitely did not get the quest experience from the end of the oracle chain when I got my shroud. I can't log in right now to look so just wondering if the emails have been sent or not yet.

    Please give it some time, we may not have sent them yet. It is a manual process.
