Hot Fix - 11/17/2008
Greetings!
As we look forward to all of the excitement coming your way this week we have one hot fix for you this afternoon:
Combat & Careers
Shaman
- Shrug it Off: Fixed a bug with this ability that allowed it to be used in areas where resurrection is disabled.
Patch 1.0.5 and Career Updates
Folks,
When we launched our Public Test Server last week our goal was to create a place where we could test and iterate on ideas/initiatives/bugs with our subscribers in a non-LIVE environment. Our plan was that no patch would make it through the PTS until we were sure that it was tested thoroughly and properly. Patch 1.0.5 (Combat and Careers) is a perfect example of how this system is supposed to work. Thanks to the data and feedback we’ve gathered over the last week we are going to make some major changes to 1.0.5. First, the Combat and Careers portion of the patch is being moved to 1.0.6. We have made enough changes that we have decided to let them stay on PTS a while longer for additional testing. As I’ve said before, we will not rush these changes on to the LIVE servers until we are sure that they have been thoroughly tested and that the changes are working the way that the designers planned. It was evident throughout the testing process that some of the changes needed to be reconsidered and some changed outright. Thus and secondly, we are making the following changes to certain careers:
Invalid Activation Codes?(0)
I know some folks have managed to get their hands on their retail versions of the game already!
Please remember that the expansion doesn't launch until November 18th and that if you try to activate your codes before tomorrow, they will register as invalid.
After we give the green light tomorrow, if you're still having trouble with your activation codes, please make sure to contact CS.

Legends of Norrath: Ring of Scale Scenario
In Kunark long ago, the winged dragon lords of the Ring of
Scale waged war with the airborne Iksar army mounted on their flying
Sokokars. Ganak – son of Atrebe and emperor of the Iksar – met with Jaled-Dar
– mighty-winged dragon of the Ring of Scale – in a legendary aerial duel over
the Field of Bone. They were both incinerated by magic and fire as a result
of this battle. What if one had prevailed? How would history have been
changed?
