June 2007


if_site_hotfix.jpgAll realms will be brought down at 5:00 am CEST (Paris time) for an exceptional maintenance in order to process the redistribution of the Armoured Nether Drake mounts. The maintenance is scheduled to last for three hours.

Following the last maintenance, we became aware of the fact that a larger number of players received the Armoured Nether Drake mount award than was intended. We began investigating the cause of this issue immediately, and have now isolated where it occurred.

Tomorrow morning at 05:00 CEST we will be bringing down all realms for approximately three hours in order to resolve the situation.

As a result of this update, we will first remove all Armoured Nether Drake mounts, after which we will resend Armoured Nether Drake mounts to only those players who should have received them.

We apologise for the confusion caused by this issue. It is our intention to preserve the rarity and prestige of the Armoured Nether Drake mount award, and we thank all Arena PVP participants for their understanding.

Update: Titles will be corrected as well.

if_site_midsummer.jpgOn behalf of everyone of the Imperial Fist, we wish you a happy and peaceful Midsummer. Dont party too hardy and enjoy the beautiful, warm weather. See you all back online for some raiding in a few days.

thumbie_nerf.jpg After a lot of thought and deliberation, we’ve decided to remove the attunement requirements to enter Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep: The Eye. While many of our attunements in the Burning Crusade have been good progression checks, a few of the attunements have turned out to cause unnecessary stress on guilds either doing the content or attempting to do the content. With Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal thriving, we want to encourage (rather than prevent) new guilds and raid groups to attempt Serpentshrine and TK. We are going to leave the current attunement quests in the game so that players can still engage in the challenge and the lore of those quests should they choose to. At a later point, we are considering adding a final reward step to those quests as well (that way those who have already completed them would not miss out on a *new* reward).

We’re listening to feedback from you guys constantly and your opinions are important to us. We want this game to be the best possible MMO experience for our players.

if_site_gruul.jpgWe are heading towards Gruuls Lair this week. Thursday evening we will start to learn the posistions and the pull. Sign up and lets get going.

Be sure to check out information about King Maulgar, since he is the one we are after first.

if_site_aran.jpgOn the 4th of June a brave bunch of raiders finally downed Aran. It has been a long time coming and now we can move to other destinations. Now we will continue to the prince.

We will continue with the current raiding times, meaning Wednesday or Thursdays we will do Attumen, Moroes, Maiden and Chess and move from there on the next raid to Curator, Aran and Chess. Prince will get alot of practice and hopefully he will be added to our list of wins soon.

We congratulate him for the Netherwing mount, and next time you see a dragon in the sky it just might be a druid.
