You may have noticed that we had a little downtime today. Everything broke.

There has beena lot of speculation as to what might cause all 3 games, the DNs, the forums and the minigame site to go down and stay down for several hours. I can't tell you anything for certain right now, but I can tell you this... it wasn't my fault.

Pretty sure it wasn't my fault.

Things are still a little wonky but the disconnectivity storm seems to be blowing over. Bear with us and things should be fully opperational again soon. ish.

We'll now that the Necropolis is all tied up, we will be working on a new zone for a few weeks. I won't say much except A) you'll want to dress warm and B) you're going to want to find a disguise for your baby dragon. You know how Galanoth can get.

THIS week we're still working a few things, including balancing out the necromancer armor (Rolith forgot a few damage dividers in there so Final really is Final), and getting it out to you as soon as we can, so you can get your Deathknight armor too. Also this weekend we will be releasing some 4th of July rare DA weapons.

These bad boys will be colored Red, White and Blue to celebrate the 4th (Independence Day in the United States, celebrating our Declaration of Independence signed back in 1776...usually it means flags, fireworks and family cook-outs!) and when their specials (yes, they will have specials) go off, fireworks will erupt from them as they deal additional damage over time! I'm also trying to see if it can randomly tint the affected target red, white or blue.

These weapons will be DA ONLY and they will only be in the game for the extended weekend, so get them before they vanish!

Geo is also working on a few interesting quests for the Pirate and Ninja Inns, and we were talking about a second weapon for rogues. We can't use shortswords because a lot of the daggers are large enough to be short swords already, can't use fist weapons because of the ways that the weapons change direction in the rogue's hands during some attacks. We were thinking about Sacks of Things as a secondary rogue weapon.

Like a sack of rocks, or doorknobs... or frogs....

or like... beans.

We're still working on it.

If you guys have any bright ideas for new rogue weapons, let us know on the forums (now that they work again)!
