Greetings Everyone,

   Character transfer is back on.  If you have a character that has not completed the transfer please page a GM and he will be able to fix your character and give you back your items.  You have to be online to do this though.  Thank you for your patience.

Greetings Everyone,

   We have resolved the issue that caused the bug with the incomplete character transfers.  If you have a incompleted transfer that you are unable to unpack please page a GM.  If your character transfer has not completed the cycle please do not panic we have not turned it back on yet.  We hope to have it back on by Monday.  I will post again on Monday and give you an update on when we might be able to turn it back on.

  Thank you for your patience and have a great weekend!

Vendor Search is being turned on today on Origin and Izumo after their normal maintenance cycle.  Pending any disasters Vender Search will be live on all shards tomorrow after normal daily maintenance.

• Improved overall search speed
• Search results now return up to 60 items
• Searches can no longer be canceled
• Customizing houses will remove opted-in vendors from search results for up to 30 minutes
• Upon shards being published with update it will take approximately three hours for the vendor database to update.  If you do not find your item please check back after that time frame,  After the initial database update all vended item additions/deletions will be available through searches within five minutes.

We will be meeting on each shard for 1 hour in Lord Blackthorn’s Throne Room. This will be an open forum for you to ask us anything that is on your mind. Please note that the schedule could change due to unforeseen issues but we will notify you of any changes ahead of schedule.
