 The Gatherings of the Blades will now be held on a bi-weekly basis. This is change is due to two reasons:

 1) The amount of news created in a single week and the level of attendance at meetings has been declining, and as a result, to bring you meetings that are more important and more filled with news and dicussion we move to half as many meetings.

2) This will free up another evening every other week for events. Particularly you can look forward to more RP events, games, tournaments and raids on Sunday afternoon/evenings. Like the Challenge of the Blades being held this Sunday at 8:00pm EST!

Meetings will still be on Sunday, at 9:00pm EST, they will simply be bi-weekly.

The next sheduled meeting is for June 1st.

*can't beleive it's nearly June already!*

Gameplay

• Toggle Skill Fixes: The following skills are no longer disabled by disarm.
  • Stance: Strength - no longer requires a ranged weapon
  • Stance: Precision - no longer requires a ranged weapon
  • Stance: Endurance - no longer requires a ranged weapon
  • Guardian's Defence - no longer requires a shield
• You can once again move items around in your inventory while crafting.
• “Disarm” will now only disarm the Main-hand weapon. This change opens a few known-issues, see below.
  • Known Issues:
    • Graphics Issue: When a player is first disarmed their Secondary Weapon/Shield disappears briefly.
    • When a dual-wielding player is disarmed they are unable to auto-attack with their secondary weapon.
• Lore-master: The Improved Sign of Righteousness's icon effect will now last the full 60 seconds.
• Fixed hunter guide skills failing to guide you out of private encounters.
• Fixed Minstrel "Tale of Heroism" and other group benefiting skills (i.e. Hunter's "Find the Path") within Raids.
• Fixed an issue that was causing timing issues with ranged and channeling combat skills. These issues were primarily seen by Hunters (e.g. the skills “Quick Shot” and “Focus”) and Lore-masters (e.g. the skills “Burning Embers” and “Blinding Flash”).
• Fixed a rare issue that could cause a rented mount to be player-controllable, but would also prevent dismounting.

Annuvin - Well, I think we're allowed to say that there are going to be two classes, a Warden, and a Rune-Keeper. I think I'm allowed to say that they'll be 'good'.
Annuvin - Maybe even... great. I don't think I'm allowed to say they'll have (insert specific skill here).

Brekkee - *Andrew__* What is one of the most exciting upcoming features ob book 13 everyone knows they worked really hard to please the community of players?

Meghan_Turbine - It's ALLLLLL about the fishing.
