All Vanguard servers will be brought down tomorrow morning (7/16) at 5:00 am PDT for a quick patch that contains a few bug fixes, and changed a large number of items that were previously BoP, to BoE. You can read exactly what's going in with the patch over on the Official Forums.

We expect the servers to be up and ready to play by 9:00 am PDT. If they're not, you can expect an update on VGPlayers!

In addition to the server downtime, there will be a period of about four and a half hours where all SOE Official Forums will be unavailable.

The forum maintenance will begin at 6:30 am PDT, and should conclude by 11:00 am PDT. During the downtime, you can visit VGPlayers for any additional updates regarding this maintenance.



So we have the usual 4 hour DT... see you at 6.

The Update itself:

GENERAL
- Some items (too many to list) that were previously marked as BOP are now BOE. This should give you some additional flexibility on items you may want to re-purpose.
- Factional vendors are now available in most cities. If you are level 30 and higher you should receive an email from Kamelott, Inc. with more details to purchase armor and other future items.
- Possible fixes for a couple of crash bugs
- Possible fix of Quests not updating correctly from trigger locations

ADVENTURING
- Bard - Fixed an issue that was causing players within the bard's group to be knocked out of combat periodically.
