Asherons Call: Reason for the Hotfix...

IBN has posted an update on the upcoming hotfix, giving the reason why it was necessary:

[i]Why is there a hotfix?

The hotfix is to resolve a minor bug that had the potential to crash
game subservers. Some of you may have gotten kicked out of the game last
night -- this was the cause.

Don't worry, it's not a problem with this month's quests or content. No
rollback is expected, and the olthoi that you've kicked off the
landscape will stay kicked.
