Greetings!

We will be bringing the Kattraeth cluster offline today at 2:00 PM EDT/20.00 CET for maintenance. At this time we anticipate that Kattraeth will be back online no later than 9:00 PM EDT/03.00 CET.

During this maintenance window, the Kattraeth cluster will be changed over to Archived status in an effort to finalize remaining transfers to Ywain. As a result of archiving, all zones aside from player housing zones will be disabled and players will automatically be teleported to their Realms housing market. Players in this zone will have the ability to transfer guild houses and /transfer to the Ywain lobby of their choosing. Guild leaders, please remember to pack your guild house prior to transferring.

Please be sure to read the Free Character Transfer FAQ and the Free Character Transfer Instructions for any questions you may have about the process!

Please remember, if you are transferring to a server which is a different language from your source server it is highly suggested that you download the appropriate language client for the server you wish to play on. If you use a mismatching client you will encounter some technical difficulties, not allowing you to perform certain actions in the game. Players who need the English Language client can download it here.

Please be advised that all transfers are final and cannot be reverted, so please choose your destination server carefully.

  Update: Kattraeth is now archived and online.

Greetings!

After lining their pockets with gold and plat earned from the sale of bloodstained weapons scavenged from the battlefield, the Infernal Merchants have begun to strike their camps and set their sites to distant lands and their next fortune. The Merchant camps will remain, offering their remaining wares, until 8/30/2010. Be certain to visit these travelling salesmen before Monday, for their wares may never be seen in the Realms again!

Greetings!

We have the following Hot Fix for the Glamorgan server only:
