GOA has sent a mailing to everyone regarding the 1.52 patch that will soon go live on all European servers. It contains some important advise regarding the respec option and you are well advised to read it if you haven't already.
It also warns you that GOA will not reverse any respeccing, no matter the circumstances.

The complete text can be found here.

Just to add to this... some quotes from Zargar :

We are running a little "DO NOT RESPEC" campaign and this will continue till the patch. Basically, the message is that "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RESPEC!!". Mythic had soooo many problems with that, we don't want to have the same here. Everyone respecced, 1/2 of them were pissed by their new spec, 1/2 of them left, or something like that.

Email, message in game, message on website, in patch note, everything to make players understand that "respec is NOT your best friend!"

Feel free to share the message with everyone, because respec can really screw up your character good, and we will NOT revert.

Thanks for reading :-) - Grilf

A big 'gratz' to Archeon for making it to level 50!
I hope you'll learn to enjoy the life without needing to exp :)

Thanks to Amaterasu, Gama, Tarrasque, Jerelyn for helping out with the epic quests once again, along with myself :)

On a technical note: a few minor fixes were made to the forum, long threads were not properly divided into multiple pages..

Congratulations to Drolin and Cameth on getting level 50 :)

We also managed to get Drolin's level 50 epic quest done, with a nice guild group. Once again Sirnordex tagged along, this time for his own quest...

I hit 900 Armorcrafting today, wheeee :) I'll get there some day, if my money doesn't run out first..

Oh, almost forgot... We recently made it to 3 million Guild Realm Points (GRPs), also we've almost got 50,000 GBPs at the moment :)

My computer decided to blow up on wednesday.. by computer I mean: CPU, Motherboard, HDD, 2nd HDD... My old RAM didn't fit the new standard.. so I had to get a new: HDD, Motherboard, CPU, and MORE RAM <sighs>. My pocket for a GF4 ain't so phat no more... Hopefully I will be in game under my own steam on Saturday (when the new CPU arrives), else I will be in game using someone else's computer... struggeling :-) (Anything to get the DAoC fix :->).

I'm going to Berlin (in Germany) for the whole of next week, on a school trip. So our fabulous deputy GM is out of retirement :-) (You go Villy!) Along with the rest of the officers as always. I will address the rank structure, new officer meeting, and a formal guild meeting (followed by a WoW / Rev hunt.) In the week after next (I hope.)

As for the rest of the news... NP joined the CE alliance. I'm Leaving TE in the lead of the current alliance, until it breaks apart, or someone comes up with something new. RP and Emain wise - people are hunting there more (Gjwatsit, Amat, Kerian, and Villy - most notibly) and so some guild RvR should happen.. not organised formally, but it should be fun nevertheless :-).

The patch is coming at the end of October which includes... respec, various fixes, new quests, more caster basing (:-/) and some more upheavals.... look on the Herald news for more details. Gorre should be english the week after next..

Not sure I have much more to say... thank you for reading.. and I hope I see you in game soon, your friendly GM out :-)

Wheee, got my level 50 today, and Villy got his third char there as well (addict..) :)

Took us a while, but we got all our epic quests done as well, as well as Kerian's and Amaterasu's.
Special thanks to Gjefnal and Jerelyn for helping with them :)

Gratz to Kerian and Amaterasu for getting level 50 tonight :)

*yawn* off to bed now...
