Wow, that was intense. We had some expectations but we would never have thought that the launch would be as smooth as it was. I think only 3 crashes, some hiccups, and at peak 3.3k players online. The Phoenix team is more than happy and would like to say thank you to everyone who believed in this project. I hope you enjoyed the launch as much as we did.
Amazing.
But back to business (still feels a little bit weird to know that this is live now). Sorry, will focus on the topic of this announcement now.
Darkness Falls
As many people already hit lvl 40+ (last night at EU PT it were 550+), we decided to switch DF to the regular mode earlier as planned. This friday, Jan 18th, the neutral mode will be removed and the realm owning most of the keeps will have access to DF only. Everytime the ownership of DF is switching there is a 15 mins switching timer.
RvR Tasks
Some of you will probably have noticed that the short-term RvR tasks were disabled at launch. The reason behind it was to wait until there are enough lvl 45+ players in every realm. As there are already a lot of players in the late 40s, we will enable the tasks at 6pm CET tonight (in about 6 hours from now). This will require a reboot which will happen at this time.
To all the new players that might not know these tasks, there are three different types: "Kill players in Zone X", "Raid Keep X" and "Dominate Breifine, Jamtland or Pennine". Those tasks are rotating between all realms and especially before RR5 they will grant you nice RP rewards. Dont be afraid to join them before hitting level 50.
Advice Chat
The ingame advice chat is a chat to help each other and to communicate with your realm mates. It is for daoc topics only and it is not for spam, insulting, harassing or any other kind of talking which violates our rules. We already warned a lot of people, but as this doesnt seem to help the delay between two messages you can send has been changed to 60 secs. Please do yourself and the staff a huge favor and stick to the rules and keep the chat clean.
Thats it for now, thank you for playing Phoenix.
