Greetings!
We will be bringing all North American and European servers offline tomorrow, March 1st 2011, at 7:30 AM EST (13:30 CET) for the deployment of Game Update 1.4.1. At this time we anticipate that all servers will be back online no later than 1:00 PM EST (19:00 CET).
Highlights of 1.4.1 include:
Claim Window
With the popularity of account entitlements, we‘ve decided to improve the in-game delivery method of items associated with said entitlements. Whether you have the plethora of items that came with the Collector’s edition or an adorable vanity pet, we wanted to make it easier to claim your items! What this means is that item delivery for new characters or purchases will no longer go through in-game email. Instead a new Claim Window interface has been added that can be accessed via /claim or via the Account Entitlements button on the Main Menu. All of your items will be accessible in this new window and can be claimed at any time. No more expiring emails!
Armor Set Changes
The Renown Rank and level requirements for several item sets have been reduced to allow players to use them sooner in their careers. With the new ranks for the above sets, a new armor set has been added to fill in the gap between Warlord and Sovereign.
Scenario Shakeup
The battle has shifted! With the advent of 1.4.1, the lineup of the Scenario offering will be changing. A number of old scenarios are making their return, some are retiring for the moment, and others are shifting tiers. For a full list of the new line-up, see the RVR section.
As always, please be sure to check the Herald for updates regarding this downtime.
