Firstly, no April Fools’ in this text ... just to get that out of the way right from the start.

Update wise the teams are making good progress with the next update which will include the level 80 solo instance "Refuge of the Apostate". The testing has gone well so far and we will decide early next week about when the update should be ready for the live servers. If you haven't already then you might want to jump on the test servers to take a sneak peek of the new dungeon too.

Like mentioned in the "Monthly Development Update" <<http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=165411>> which was posted earlier this week, we are among other things also working on a revamp of the Crowd Control mechanic for the most part. This will not be part of the next update mentioned above but should be ready for the test servers quite soon too. In addition, Lead Systems Designer Einar 'enex' Forselv has shared some more information about those plans and also touched a few other topics that are "work in progress". Check out his post here <<http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showpost.php?p=1836616&postcount=56>> to get all the details.

There have been reports from some players about memory usage issues on specific 64 bit systems. Our developers have been looking into this and are asking those players that do experience that issue for some additional information to help analyze it in more detail. Please refer to this thread on the Technical subforum for more information. Thanks for your help.
