Downloadable Patch for Book 10!
Aug 16, 2007 - 3:19 PM - by Patience

Our players have often asked if there's a way to pre-patch while the servers are down, or download a patch on a different computer and then transfer it to the one their game is installed on via USB drive, CDR, etc.

We're please to offer a downloadable patch for Book 10! This patch will update clients from Book 9 to Book 10. New players will still need to go through the normal patching process - this patch will only work for those whose clients are current as of today (August 16). It will not work for Roheryn.

The downloadable patch means you can download it and patch your client before the update goes live on the servers, saving you time when they come back up. It also means you can... [Read More]

Known Issues - Additions - July 11
Jul 10, 2007 - 3:48 PM - by Patience
  • The quest “A True Friend of Holly Hornblower” is not giving players the pie recipe when selected as a quest reward. Players who already have the pie recipe cannot take it from their vault or learn the recipe.
In Book 10, anyone who has the recipe will be able to remove it from their vault and learn the recipe. Anyone who has previously completed “A True Friend To Holly Hornblower” will be able to speak with Holly Hornblower and complete the quest again to receive the recipe.
  • All tyrants that are designated as raid targets are supposed to "run home" if taken out of their designated area. This is designed so that players in multiple raids can all get credit... [Read More]

Patch Notes - July 11, 2007
Jul 09, 2007 - 2:42 PM - by Patience
The following changes were made in the July 11 patch:
  • Audio
    • Shouts and cries are back by popular demand! Additionally, new shout and cry sound effects have been added for some races.
    • The placeholder sound for blocking, parrying, critical hits, and a few other skill feedback sounds has been replaced with the proper sound effects.
  • Helegrod
    • The Spider now has greater reserves of his signature deadly poison, and a willingness to use it.
    • The Angmarim and his Drake servitors are more dangerous now. The drakes are more likely to use their wing flap skills to send players flying away from them.
    • The chest containing Drugoth's crown in Helegrod will no longer destroy itself if... [Read More]
