It's Patch Day again! Check out the Patch Thread on the forums for details! I've modified the quest section accordingly - new quests when they're discovered.

I hope all of you enjoyed your Thanksgivings (if you celebrate that particularly holiday)!
Hard Harbinger went over well. We had a large group that followed the rules and only suffered minimal casualties. Congrats to everyone who went. Nothing really jumps to mind for next week, but if you have a quest request, please let me know or post on the appropriate thread.
Wednesday the 28th is Patch Day! Expect downtime from 8A-3P EST. If you have any burning desire to do any of the Halloween content, you should do it before patch day! The only guaranteed exclusion is the Osiris quest in Al Jalima, which will be held over at least through the next patch.

It's Thanksgiving week - hope all of you have an enjoyable time doing whatever you plan on doing.
Bur Recall was a success, but a few people missed out, so we'll have to do it again sometime. This weekend's quest will be the Hard version of the Harbinger. Expect it Sunday afternoon, time TBA.
On a personal note, my schedule for the spring will be fairly unfriendly to AC. I won't be getting home until about 10 PM ET Monday through Thursday, so it's unlikely I'll be playing many evenings during the week. Of course, I'll be able to stay up late pretty much every night, so who knows.

Congratulations to everyone on another successful Paradox Queen quest. I think the only person in the monarchy now who is of a high enough level to face her who hasn't yet is Himura. We'll get you through eventually too. Thanks to all of you who came for following my instructions and helping to keep the large group that showed up cohesive. Our next PoA quest will be Saving Asheron next Saturday, probably in the evening. My main goal is to get Silver and Wulf's mage flagged for Bur Recall, but if any of you want to get your alts flagged as well, that's perfectly fine. I hope we have another good turnout. I do not have a quest guide for this trip put together yet, but the only requirement is that you be able to visit Bur (ie, you have completed the Tracking Asheron quest). I wouldn't recommend doing the quest if your character is below 80, but if you don't mind dying, I don't mind having you along.
The domain transfer is complete as of this morning and I haven't noticed any adverse changes so far. If you do experience extended downtime, it's probably because of the transfer, but I really don't think that's likely at this point.

I managed to blow up my first item during the overtink last weekend - a piece of Ely's armor. Sorry about that! Aside from that, things went well for everyone. I still have time left on both of the rares, so if you need a tinker done, let me know.
This Saturday I'll be leading a Paradox Olthoi Queen quest. We'll meet in SW Marketplace at 8 PM ET (EST now for those non-Americans out there). Bring your anti-Olthoi weapons and your anti-hollow armor. I have a spare suit of Olthoi Armor available if anyone needs it. You'll also need a Paradox Gland from an adult bug. If you don't have one, we can go hunting later this week. The drop rate is much more conducive to hunting, so it shouldn't take you too long to track one down. Those of you who went with me a couple weeks ago can go again - your timer should be up.
One bit of site news - I've changed the domain registrar to the hosting company. The process should be complete by Monday or Tuesday and hopefully you won't notice any changes. Aside from the convenience of only paying one company, I'm hoping that we'll have less outages as a result of the change. On a slightly related note, I have a silly amount of storage space and email addresses on the host's servers, so if you want an email account or want to host some of your AC-related info, let me know.
