Hey folks!

Nice work on The Jarl so far, I think he is almost ready to give up the ghost, and Housing Upkeep, forever!

We have some other things in the works for you this week as well:

New Vanities:

You can find these in the store starting this week.

The Ghost Set contains:

Armor and Helm
Staff and Gun for Sorcerer
Bow and Daggers for Rogue
2H Sword and Sword/Shield for Warrior



The Raven Set contains:

Armor and Helm
Staff and Gun for Sorcerer
Bow and Daggers for Rogue
2H Sword and Sword/Shield for Warrior



Both sets will also have unique particle effects.

We also have the Gnome Backpack, lovingly crafted to provide maximum bling.

Twink Arcane Weapons:

We'd like to introduce Arcanes with Procs to lower level players. Accordingly, all mobs in the Dead City campaign can drop a new Arcane Weapon chest. These cost 5 plat to open, and will always grant a level 16 weapon for your class.

Housing

A brand new decoration for your upkeep-free houses has arrived in the Furniture Store: Tarlok's Whelp. Helps to keep your house cozy on those long Arlorian nights!

PvP

Tomorrow Vroom and Carapace will continue their arduous journey towards PvP balance:

1) The "Spinning Freedom" upgrade of Razor Shield will now also apply on un-charged Razor Shield. The description will also be updated to reflect that Spinning Freedom grants immunity to stuns and freezes.
2) The Charged version of Razor Shield will now last an additional 3 seconds, which will stack with the "Increased Duration" upgrade.

We'll see what unfolds as a result!

Occupy Windmoore

The event is almost over. When it wraps up, housing will be Upkeep Free for everyone, forever. We'll also have a mechanism for turning in your unused Estate Tokens. More on this tomorrow.

That's it for this week, please let us know your thoughts in the comments, and thanks!
