The latest large patch is ready to deploy and with it come some major changes. There are additions and modifications to the world, performance improvements, balance changes, and a slew of bug fixes.
This patch will be going up on the QA Test server today, February 2, 2005 and is currently targeted to arrive on the beta server tomorrow, February 3, 2005. We'll announce the actual release of the large patch once the internal QA Team makes their final pass on it.
This time around, the large patch will require a character wipe. Given how long many of you have been working with the same character, it's understandable if you've become attached to him or her. We also understand the hours of work you've done to build your character while helping us test the game.
Because of changes to the game systems and because we need to make sure all content is well-tested, the character wipe is absolutely necessary. However, in appreciation of all your efforts, there are a couple things we'll be doing after the large patch goes out on both on the QA Test server and the beta server. To find out more information about this opportunity, you are welcome to read the entire post, which can be found on our Beta Boards here: http://thematrixonlineboards.warnerbros.com/newboards/forum.jspa?forumID=2000000011
