Vendor Search Database Maintenance

9/16/2020

Greetings,

Over the next 24 hours the vendor search database will be undergoing maintenance as the database is repopulated.  During this time you will experience intermittent search failures.  Vendor owners may opt-out and re-opt-in their vendors to accelerate the process, but this is not required.  We appreciate your patience.

See you in Britannia,

Temporarily Removing Robe Transmogrification Potion from the Store

Good afternoon everyone,

Due to some issues that have surfaced with the Robe Transmogrification Potion we are going to temporarily remove it from the store until we can publish out a fix.  If you have questions or concerns about the potion that you used please contact me at Mesanna@broadsword.com.  Do not contact a GM regarding this issue.
