With Tuesday, March 30th maintenance the SSQ will be reset so that the Seal Validation period will be in effect once the maintenance is completed. The winning side will be set to Dawn, as this was the winning side before the Daylight Savings maintenance occurred.
Starting March 17, 2010, at 10am (PDT), the Subclass Separation Account Service will be available for all eligible characters. This service allows a player to remove a subclass from a character and create a brand new character! The new character uses the subclass as it's main class, and the best part is the new character will be the same level as the subclass was on the previous character.

This is a friendly reminder that all forms of Real Money Trade are dangerous and immoral offenses. Real Money Trading degrades the gaming experience for legitimate players by giving the offenders unfair advantages. Even worse, it fuels the botting and gold-farming market. Using real money to make in-game purchases from third parties is considered an RMT transaction. These in-game transactions can include the purchase of Adena, power-leveling services, items, characters, and other in-game related services.
In our efforts to crack down on all forms of cheating, we will continue to investigate any and all suspicious situations. Beyond all these reasons, RMT can also endanger the security of your account!
So please remember, Real Money Trading directly supports the botters and cheaters that degrade the game!
