Update from the Production Team
The updates this week have seen us resolve the troublesome server side issue that had been holding things up. This means that internally our focus has switched to getting the 1.06 version to the test servers. The remaining issues there are being worked on at the moment and we will be looking to get the update onto the test server as soon as possible. It may be that we can get it out there for people to start testing next week, but it may also be the week after. The new features relating to guild renown are extensive and the tier three raids involve quite a bit of new content so we have to be sure that we get as much internal testing done as we can. Right now we are working flat out to ensure that we can start those public testing phases as soon as possible. As soon as the update comes to the test server we will be releasing a lot more information about the specifics of the guild renown system, as well as revealing some of the rewards that we plan on having available when the feature debuts.


A good weekend to all of you.
