Samera has posted some fun news for this long weekend:
As a special treat for the Thanksgiving holiday we are bringing up the Risia Server today to give you a chance to play and give feedback on the new dungeons we are adding in the "Evil Resurgent" update. We are using the same servers and character data that we used last time Risia was up, therefore we are giving out 10x the normal XP rate to help get you up and running on the Risia server faster. As a reminder, the servers that had character data copied to Risia last time were: Adar, Aerenal, Argonnessen, Aundair, Fernia, Ghallanda, Kyber, and Lhazaar, and the characters were copied at the beginning of October. Don't worry if your server isn't on this list or if your character has gained levels since the data was copied - the XP bonus will help you catch up in no time!
We are hoping that you will use the time that Risia is up to give us some feedback on our newest dungeons. We have six new dungeons in "Evil Resurgent" and we want to know what you think of them all! "From Beyond the Grave," "Dreams of Insanity," "And the Dead Shall Rise," and "The Enemy Within" are all given in House Jorasco. "The Spawn of Whisperdoom" starts in House Phiarlan and "Haywire Grotto" can be picked up in House Kundarak. We know that it's tempting to play through Shan-ta-Kor with the bonus experience, but we already have your feedback on that quest - we'd really appreciate it if you'd focus on the new quests and let us know what you think here in this forum.
There is one Known Issue for Risia at the moment: we are in the process of updating the UI, but we have not finished yet. We are aware that this is a work in progress and that you might see some errors or weird things. Please bear with us - this is not the final version.
Playing on Risia requires the installation of a second DDO client. If you have playerd on Risia before you will be able to simply patch up for the latest version. Click here for the Knowledge Base article with download instructions and other very important information. We will keep you updated with server status throughout the week in this forum.
