March 2007 News

Patch Day has come and gone again! This month's big change is a new graveyard in the Direlands. Be careful, especially if you go at night! A lot of new tech has gone into the Graveyard, including spawns that only occur at night (game night that is) and patrolling monsters. The true purpose of the graveyard hasn't been revealed yet, so keep an eye out for live events, especially on April Fool's Day. Asheron's Island is open again and it's free of danger this time. Help the big guy out by donating your extra Shards and Motes to him for XP, titles, and even a magic absorbing shield. Check out the Patch Thread for more information.
I am looking to get an overtink session together in a couple weeks. I would like to do Armor, Weapons, and Magic Items, so get your gear and salvage together. I am looking to do this session some time around Easter, so you should have plenty of time to find what you need. I will post a date and success rates when we get closer to Easter, but I did want to give everyone early notice.
For those of you hardcore insomniac board trolls, the site will be down from 12a to 8a EDT the morning of Sunday the 25th of March. The site's host will be doing some pretty major upgrades, many of which should help the persistent issues the site has been facing lately. I am hopeful that the bugs involving the search features on the site and the purple folder bug on the boards should be corrected by this upgrade. Keep your fingers crossed.
Last, but not least, I have been and will continue to be MIA in game for the next week or so. I will be out of town this weekend and following that, I will be doing a field placement the next week. My placement is very time-consuming and exhausting, so I really haven't had the opportunity to get ingame as much as I would have liked over the last week. This coming week should be less demanding, so I will probably be on more than this week. If you need anything from me, send me a PM or post on the boards and I will do what I can to help out.
The Quest Section has been updated with this month's new info.

I've added writeups for a couple of the new quests this month, including the Mucor-Infused Weapons quest on Bur. I am in the process of writing up a fairly long quest guide to the various short tasks on Bur that help track down Asheron, which I will hopefully have done soon.
Apologies for the site outages last week. I don't know what went wrong, but they seem to be resolved. If they do crop up again, please let me know.
In random PoA news, Sarah the Intrepid now has specialized Magic Item tinkering, so if you need Green Garnet slapped on a wand, let me know. She also completed her Alchemy and Cooking Golems, so she should now be able to hit 100% on Perfect Diamond Ingots. Mucor distillation still tops out in the mid 90s, but at least she won't be at 80%!
