Update 3.3

Update 3.3 is almost ready for the live servers! Besides the already mentioned Priest of Mitra revamp and the three new Tier 4 raid encounters in the Jade Citadel, there will also be a lot of other tweaks and improvements included in 3.3. For example a new lobby in Thoth-Amon's Stronghold to make sure that players will no longer have to run all the way back from the Kheshatta resurrection pad. Or a chance to receive unique social armor loot when doing PvP and killing players in Threshold of Divinity. Or the Mastery rewards of repeatable quests getting tripled to match that of equivalent non-repeatable quests. Only to name a few.

The final testing that is ongoing currently indicates that we could probably deploy the update to the live servers sometime next week. There are also some maintenance tasks being executed next week that include work and improvements in the server hosting center so we might have to schedule update 3.3 to the following week. We will make a decision on this beginning of next week and will announce those plans when everything is ready and clear.
