  1. bad timing for EU servers : it’s 08:00 – 10:00 PM PST (not AM) so maintenance shutdown will be at 04:00 AM (BST) and 5h00 (Paris) or 06h00 (Moskow) on 07/27/2016

    Erreur dans l’horaire des mises à jour. La coupure de serveur aura lieu à 4h00 (Londres) – 05h00 (Paris) – 06h00 (Moscou) le 27/07/2016.

    1. “Merchants that sell items for status will now only buy those items back for half of the sell value.”

      What is being said:

      “Unfortunately, this was necessary to head off a large amount of status duping exploits that we have been seeing lately. Please try to be mindful when purchasing anything for status.”

      But why it’s being done:

      “Some faction merchants sell tradeable items that can be vendored for status, which served as a loophole to transfer status from one toon to the other.”
      Estal

      “its because you could move status from character to character and has been this way for years.”
      Ceriium

      “Cutting the amount in half isn’t closing a loophole, and if this is a loophole some take advantage of, all they have to do is speed up the buy/sale. If it is an issue, then they should close the loophole and remove the status from items that are no longer no-trade or heirloom.”
      Sandyfoot

      It’s about curbing status transfer on RtT.
