<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial;">We're starting to push the latest set of data to the Test server now, which will remove the "fighter revamp" changes, and un-combine the previously consolidated spells/combat arts. Rather than push them all back to apprentice 1 level, we've gone back and recovered the level that they were at when we originally consolidated them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial;">We felt that it was a better solution to do that than the original and horrifying thought that we may have had to roll back all characters 3 or so months. I do apologize that you're going to be losing any upgrades to those particular spells and combat arts, but this will only impact those particular lines that we combined.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial;">When we take down the Test server, we're also going to be taking down the Test Copy server, and wiping the entire character DB, so that people can do a fresh copy over to it with the characters they want to test with. The Test Copy server will be down for a longer period than normal, though, as wiping the character database is a relatively complex and lengthy process. We should have it back up by later this evening, though, if everything goes well. If not, I'll come back and let you know here. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial;">Thanks for your patience, and understanding.</span></p>

<p>Quick update on the Test Copy server. The process of wiping the character files is going to take quite a few hours, so the server won't be back up tonight. We'll bring it up in the morning.</p><p>The test server itself should be back up tonight, in the next couple of hours.</p>

<p>We're plugging away on resetting the spells and combat arts. It's going slightly slower than we'd expected, but we should be done within the next couple of hours. Bear with us, please!</p>

<p>One final push of a new client, and the server will be up. Sorry to keep you all waiting!</p>
