What we decided:
A. No one bug is a game stopping bug. Yes, there are very annoying bugs, but they do not stop you from playing the game.
B. A few of these bugs are simply major @$@# ups on our part and things that should never have happened (but the majority of them are just honest to goodness bugs).
C. Given the sheer volume (in comparison to previous month) of bugs, we feel we want to clean things up before June to allow players to enjoy the remainder of this month and things to come (no, you have not found everything or seen everything). We have some amazing things about to happen (remember, I promised you this story arc would be the all time best one hehe), and we do not want them to be overlooked by a few minor bugs. So...
We WILL be hotfixing. Expect the hotfix next week. It will take us a few days to get the fixes and test them. We hope to fix the majority of the bugs.
Things like: The natural resistance that we said we were going to fix but didnt, the few bugs with Nuhmederia's Quest, the bugs with the new Atlan quest so everyone can get the atlans.
Other things: A few more hints in the game about what might just be so cool about the new Atlans. A few fixes to the Queens quest so that you can complete the entire quest once more, and also you should now be able to find the skill credit d00d.
What WILL NOT CHANGE: The bonded bronze items. They will still be stuck on the characters that hold them. There are some very important game play reasons why we did this. Again, we appologize for not telling you this upfront. HOWEVER -- Do not get rid of them. Expect something to possible change that will allow you to move the once you currently have stored, next month. Yes, we know you would like this to happen right now, but there are some reasons why we do not want to do this quite yet.
Look for an official announcement tomorrow on the State of the Code.
