Research Assistants Slacked Off During Break
So it turns out that some Research Assistants took a little vacation while the servers were inaccessible and did not continue dutifully researching upgrades for all players. After thoroughly investigating the issue, SmokeJumper has posted the planned solution:
Hi, folks,
When we came back online, we intended that Research would have continued to tick along while the outage occurred, so that you all would come back with a fully researched spell. However, that didn’t happen. And there’s no real way to make it automatically happen.
So…in next Tuesday’s hotfix (2011.05.24) we will grant you five (5) potions, each of which will reduce the amount of time you need to research a spell by seven days. (35 days of reduction, total.)
You can apply those potions any way that you desire.
Soon!
Here’s a screenshot of what these potions will look like:

So they can come up with this ‘special’ potion, but can easily turn a deaf ear to the suggestions of double AA/XP potions, one for each day that the servers were down. It boggles the mind.

No-trade rather than heirloom… will they come from the claim window, then? (Or did they mean 5 potions per character rather than per account?)

Anyone know if these will be once per account or per toon?

Zoltaroth confirmed it’s 5 per character.

If they made them heirloom I promise most of the server will be 90 with all masters. 🙂
I am happy to see this, at least it’s something somewhat unique for all the mess of the servers being down. Still wish he got some kind of house item like the first time it happened (about 2 months after the game went live)
Now, I wonder if these will show up on SC some day.
