It looks the website will be staying up throughout maintenance. I will leave the messaging as is though just in case the team needs to bring it down.

You can expect patch notes around the time maintenance is scheduled to conclude (12PM Central). I will post here if they go up earlier than that!

I'm not mad about any type delay (patch notes or the actual patch).
It would just be nice to know.
Thanks.
Correct, just to confirm there is no delay in 5.5. Just the patch notes.

Nearly 8pm in the UK - any sign of the patch notes?
Correct, the daily areas are returning to their original values (75CXP) and we added a new CXP bonus perk. There is also a double event that will start tomorrow and run for one week.

Hey folks!

Little bit of bad news, patch notes won't be available today. Working through some final issues, especially around localization. You can expect to see them live following tomorrow's maintenance. Apologies for the delay, I know you are eager to read them!

Hot Prospect Name Concerns

Hey folks,

We have made the decision to rename The Hot Prospect server to Satele Shan. Since we announced the new server names, we have received some concerns from people regarding the name The Hot Prospect. Specifically, that phrase could be taken in slang terms to be derogatory towards certain individuals. We take this very seriously as we would never want to create a situation where someone is made uncomfortable by something such as a server name.

We will be updating all of our communications (such as the FAQ and blog) to reflect the new name in the coming days. Thank you for your understanding.

I was just wondering if you were going to be doing some kind of character slot discount week leading up to the first major united forces update. I personally dont have 52 characters but Im concerned that I will not be able to play the characters that I do have as I know I have 2 more characters on projenitor and tomb of freedom naad. Just a half price discount would be alright... please?
You don't need to worry as you'll have access to all of your characters even if you were over the Max count. If we need to offer a substantial discount for additional character slots, we'll make that happen.

The Augments will be available in Game Update 5.6. You'll only need the current Max level Kit (10) to use the new Augments.

Update on Strongholds: The cap is being increased to 10 and the Conquest bonus percentage will be hard-capped at 150 percent. Both changes will happen with Game Update 5.5.

Are you going to combine the server forums, lock them or delete them?

My guild hosts a lot of server events and I tend to copy and paste my TRE forum post contents when we repeat events.

That is a good question. The plan is that I will archive the current forums (in a new sub-forum) so that people can see their old threads, but cannot post in them. Then I will make brand new forums for each of the servers.
