TFD Beta & Other Changes

[Blackguard]

As all of you are probably already aware, The Fallen Dynasty Beta test has started on the Test server at this time. For players who aren't normally on Test, we will be adding a Beta Buffer soon for level 1 characters. I just wanted to drop a note before that happened to let you know that those characters will be deleted after the Beta, and the items they will be given are going to be NO-TRADE, as we do not want to disrupt the Test server in any permanent fashion. We have also temporarily removed the downtiering on certain zones, such as the Commonlands and Nektulos Forest, as they are going to be revamped with new content (and some art touch-ups) soon. <div></div>

This has also affected the boars and goblins in the entrance area of Runnyeye (these mobs going from ^ to ^^^), not sure if that was intended or not.  <BR><BR></P>

I went to do level 25-29 "solo" writs only to find that the formerly solo mobs near the entrance that are part of these writs have all been changed to heroic. Bats, spiders in Varsoons; all Bloodsabers and skellies in CoB.<BR>
