ise of the Archons will be offline from 17:00 BST to 18:00 BST on Friday 19th May in order to implement the update.

Honghuon (Past Bichon)
This is an ancient land, tucked behind a desolate valley. Accessible only by sea, it is home to a barbaric breed of Omas and their brutal king. Although few humans reside in Honghuon Fortress, a great tale of a dragon they will tell.

Gi-Ryoong
A province renowned for it’s Black Dragon Dungeon. A castle built for one purpose; defence of Woomyon. An unlikely alliance of serpents and ghouls rule here, under the command of the Dark Devil, Devouros’s pretender.

Arclords
With the recent uprising of human power spreading throughout their kingdoms, a troubled Barbarus has commanded five of his lords back to their thrones.

What’s coming?

• Two new provinces released
• New drop tables accessible
• New item kits in drops
• New achievements to collect
• New Arclords to fight

There will be a series of two hour double experience events.

1. Wednesday Evening 20:00 BST to 22:00 BST 17th May (8pm to 10pm)
2. Early Thursday 02:00 BST to 04:00 BST 18th May (2 am to 4 am)
3. Thursday Morning 08:00 BST to 10:00 BST 18th May (8am to 10am)
4. Thursday Afternoon 14:00 BST to 16:00 BST 18th May (2pm to 4pm)

These short timed events are held at different times of the day so that people from different times zones can enjoy them.

On Friday when we release the new content, each player affected by the recent rewind (all created characters above level 20) will be given 3 special experience potions that can be used over the following week whenever they choose to

Experience Elixir

• Experience Rate + 100%
• Magic Find + 50%
• Drop Rate + 50%
• Last for 120 minutes
• Expires on 26th May

Many people expressed disapproval with the high stats being gained on item crafting last night. After investigation we have decided that the algorithms used for Arcadia and Project 69 are not applicable to RotA and have therefore been rewritten. This includes more limitations and fewer stat increases.

In order to maintain fair gameplay, we have regrettably opted to rewind the server by 16 hours. This means everything has gone back 16 hours, your character level, exp, items, guilds, auctionhouse, achievements and GameShop purchases. For those who purchased GameGold within this 16 hour period, the full amount will be credited to your account when you next log on.

For means of time compensation, we will be holding a number of experience, drop rate and magic find rate events over the weekend.

• Revised Acc and Agil on Red/Blue champions
• Marbles added to sub boss drops
• Added salvaging throughout most provinces
• Removed “Soul attack increase”
• Small increase to Crimson Tempest base damage
• Added lightning element to TDB
• Fixed some issues with “Big floor items”
• Increased Blood Bond cooldown to 60 seconds

Over the next day we will be trialling a HP boost of 25% across all character classes. We hope to give players a little more longevity in battle, particularly pvp.

• Added damage gradient to Devastation and Thunder Nova: 70%, 100%, 135%, <player>, 135%, 100%, 70%
• Hunter Orb explosion damage calculated per monster
• Hunter Orbs can be recast while still active
• Added “cannot place a trap here” on certain locations and limitations on para
• Necromancer can swap active bloodbond for another pet
• Reanimate monsters up to 3 levels above you
• One hit protection HP drop increased from 5% to 10% (HP you are left with when hit from 95%+ health)
• Prevented unnecesarry double charging of flamesword type skills
• Fixed random lag spike on using charging skills (please confirm?)

Sabuk
Instead of releasing Sabuk War registrations in the first instance, we have decided to hold a grand war for the first Sabuk Wall holder guild. This will take place on Sunday 21st May. All user created Guilds will be invited for free. You have one week to prepare. And we also have one week to continue work towards balancing pvp!

Content
We are looking at opening up the next province and expansion on Friday 19th May. More details will be available soon.

There will be a reboot at 11:00 BST. The server should be back online by 11:30 BST.

Hunters. I know I keep on neglecting hunters, but in order to correct this class we need a good few days to redesign skills and implement them properly. This would put a hold on everything else and is not currently fair on the other 7 classes.

• Removed 50% pvp damage reduction trial
• Increased HP on Hunter, Monk, Mystic
