Early Start Retcon

Daeke · 09-03-2009, 10:13 AM

Due to the general balance pass on powers and difficulty that was made in the early morning hours of September 1st, we will be issuing a full retcon to early-start characters created before our launch day patch. As we did not anticipate needing to do such broad-based changes, we felt doing something extraordinary for our players was appropriate. Please not that this retcon will only be issued to characters that were created during the head start program.

We are currently working on a system to issue this retcon to early start characters. As soon as we have the technology in place to do so, we’ll let you know. Thank you all for supporting the game through the first few days of the launch.

I assume this wont expire. Call me a cynic but I'm not using mine until they've finished messing about with stuff. At least on such a large scale.

I'd also hardly call this 'extraordinary'. Its standard in MMOs to grant free respecs when large changes are made

SuperAwesome · 09-03-2009, 10:22 AM

Extraordinary or not, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Perfect_Pain · 09-03-2009, 10:22 AM

I said this would happen like 30 minutes ago... and I gave them 15 days >.>

ACCEPT ME AND MY PSYCHIC POWERS NOW

Slow in coming, but thank you for listening and eventually doing something.

You should learn from this though Cryptic.

Communicate early
Listen intently
Act swiftly.

This will go a long way for this game staying current on subscribers play lists.

I'm serious.
