Customer support is currently receiving a high amount of appeals regarding the implemented solution to the recent issues with the RvR weapon system.

If you were amongst those affected by the issue with the revoking of the Tome unlocks, please refer to the email you have received regarding this issue. For those players who are appealing regarding the “Faded Memory” trash loot items which were acquired due to illegitimate currency gains, we will not be exchanging these for any form of RvR currency, so we ask that you please discontinue your appeals regarding these items.

WAAAAGH!!!

We've got a whole new reason for your to say TGIF with our second Weekend Warfront: Spirit of WAR! This weekend you and your allies can do battle in the High Pass Cemetery scenario as you crush and humiliate your foes no matter what tier you're in - and while you probably don't need any more motivation than that, we've made the rewards for participating in High Pass Cemetery that much more...rewarding.

So join us this weekend and every weekend as all 4 tiers get to participate in a different Weekend Warfront each week!

Weekend Warfront: High Pass Cemetary
Start: Friday, March 5th 2010
End: Monday, March 8th 2010

Have fun, and we'll see you on the battlefield!

Customer Service has received requests for assistance with the Invader Insignia Tome unlock issue that has impacted some of you. Though we implemented a solution yesterday, we have implemented another this afternoon. With this new change, players who possess the original weapon but could not equip it, are now able to resolve the issue on their own. To accomplish this, simply open a buy window with any merchant that has a buy back tab, sell the weapon, select the buy back tab on the merchant window, and then buy back the weapon.

(please read on for more important details...)

Greetings!

Today we have a new Video Grab bag for you. Join the Mythic Community Team as we ask devs Nate Levy and Mike Wyatt questions from the players about the new Scenario Structure and the new RvR weapons.

As many of you are now aware, when we introduced the new RvR Trophy system and lowered the prices of the RvR Weapons, an issue was introduced where players were able to advance their progression through the RvR Insignia ranks in an unintended manner.  To prevent further impact to the economy, we took immediate action late last night. The unfortunate side effect of this action is that the small number of players who purchased RvR weapons legitimately have lost or are not being granted the respective Tome of Knowledge unlock. Today, we are taking steps to correct this issue, and to alleviate the impact that this fix had on legitimate purchasers.

We will be bringing all North American Servers offline for a short server reboot this afternoon. Servers will be brought offline at 3:00 PM EST and are expected to be back online no later than 4:15 PM EST.

Greetings!

We have the following Hot Fixes for you this evening:

Realm vs. Realm

Due to issues with higher tiers of RvR Weapon currency entering the world in an unintended manner we have temporarily disabled the RvR Weapon Quartermasters in the Capital Cities.

Please keep your eyes on the Herald for updates regarding this issue.

Thank you for your continued support.
