(This is the pwipe announcement you've been waiting for.)
On Monday, August 27th at 6AM UTC (system time) you will all be
deleted.
The game will remain locked to mortals until Friday, August 31st
at 11PM UTC.
A larger post with the details of the terrible things we've been
up to will follow in the coming weeks, but we wanted to provide
this announcement now so that you all have time to quit your jobs,
go AWOL, drop out of school or leave your husbands, wives and
children behind.
There are some things you should know so that you can plan
appropriately:
- PK damage will remain at 60% for now, maybe forever.
- The rules regarding multiple characters from one connection
will change as follows: TWO (2) characters will be allowed per
IP provided that both characters have matching e-mail
addresses associated with them. Attempts to circumvent this
rule will be met with immediate deletion, no question.
- Character sharing is still very much against the rules.
- Druids will suck less.
- Class item sets will be very different.
Again, more details on these things and much more news to come,
stay tuned.
Also, as ever, we expect you all to turn muderous and bloodthirsty
to herald the end of the wipe but we ask that you wait until we're
a bit closer to the day (ideally until Friday, August 24th) before
starting in on one another. There will not be any of the usual
enhancements supplied until then and asking beforehand will likely
end with a personal pwipe just for you.
Thanks for playing.
