[Lillu]

With today's reboot we are switching back to a scheduled daily reboot. We expect the following improvements.
[1] Shorten our update cycle, meaning that fixes and upgrades go live sooner.
[2] Memory leaks are purged sooner, improved zone stability.
[3] Less lag/connection issue.
[4] Predictable downtime.

The reboot is scheduled daily at 7AM EST (Eastern Standard Time).

Quests.
o "a fragmented spirit" in T9 (DSK3 and VT) is now more clear about the quantity of ranks offered for the AA quest. Players may earn up to 1 rank in DSK3 and up to 8 ranks in VT.
o The Reaper of Mortality (South Karana) now fails the event if the character who spawned the Reaper is not alive just at the time of Reaper's death so that the quest starter does not lose a shard and get locked out of the quest. The respawn timer upon failure has been reduced from 20 minutes to 5 minutes.
o Treasure Goblin groundspawn emote fixed (grammar). Groundspawns now last longer and spawn further from his feet for better visibility.
o Armor of the Gods (Halls of Honor) now properly spawn Emperor Csarth when the chance condition is met.
o Tiel (T2 Teleporter) now properly displays a chat link for Stillmoon Temple.
o Reaper of Mortality (South Karana) emotes now give better clues about the fight mechanics. The Reaper is also now more accommodating to Paladin and Shadow Knight tanks.
o Vision of Emperor Csarth (Halls of Honor) now functions properly if he happens to die while his Shards are alive. The Shards also despawn properly upon Csarth's death.
o Non-lore evolving items (bracers) will no longer trigger the "ALERT! Your <item name> is ready to evolve, but..." lore alert.

NPC Updates.
o Shard of the Emperor (Halls of Honor) have had their HP reduced.

Enjoy your stay,
The THF team
