Greetings!

We will be bringing all servers offline on Wednesday, 10/26, for the implementation of Patch 1.110. All servers will be coming down at 6:00 am EDT / 12:00 pm CEST. We anticipate that all servers will be back online no later than 2:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CEST.

As usual, keep an eye on the Herald for updates.


You can find the Patch Notes below ...


Highlights

  • The New User Journey is here!  The Tutorial and several mainland areas in all three realms have been redesigned to make character progression more efficient and enjoyable than ever before! This includes new quest chains, Epic Encounters, buff NPCs, new armor, weapons and other rewards.

  • Updates have been made to the Battlegrounds to make them your one stop source for character progression and RvR action through level 49.  Gawk at the new armor and weapons available for purchase with Bounty Points, marvel at the Bounty Point rewards for quests, and delight in the increased gold rewards for player kills!

  • UI updates abound!  Several new windows and features have been added to the UI including a new delve system, new quest icons, and a plethora of new UI windows to customize your gamespace!

  • Potions have become more convenient!  The number of charges on potions has significantly increased. This should prove helpful to those who are having potion problems in their packs as they need to procure fewer potions per play session.  As a result there have been several changes to the recipes for all potions.

  • And now a word from our sponsors: House rent will be re-activated so please ensure that your lockbox contains sufficient funds for your next rent payment.
