Asherons Call: Skill sellback/spec on a 1 minute timer.

We are putting all the skill spec, skill untrain, and attribute redistribution gems on a very short timer (minutes) with the launch of the expansion pack. During the September event the gems will be put back on their current live timers. On first login (and ONLY on first login) after the September event, any gems in a character's inventory will be removed.

Why are we doing this? One of the goals of Throne of Destiny is to bring back players who may have left over the last five years or so. Obviously many of these characters were built using, well, sub-optimal templates. The two months after AC:TD launches give players the opportunity to completely respec these characters to better fit today's game.

In other news...

Have a good weekend everyone, hope to see you on Destiny this evening with Scenario! Happy 4th of July to our US players, and happy Canada Day to our Canadian players!
