• In the spirit of Halloween, Gravedigging has been introduced & Forensic Evaluation re-written. A time will be scheduled and announced sometime today/this weekend to publish this to the live server.
  
  Gravedigging:
  - Requires 80 Mining and 80 Forensic Evaluation to begin using
  - Must purchase a Gravediggers Pickaxe or Shovel from the Gravedigger merchant
  - Use gravediggers shovel or pickaxe at a gravesite, look for headstones being used to mark individual graves
  - Gravediggers tools have a limited number of charges, 50 to start, and a charge will be consumed with each successful dig
  - Gravediggers tools are both equippable for max fun, and a "Use RH" button appears with both of them equipped to easily press Q to start digging
  - Chances to obtain new rewards introduced in the form of titles, pet mounts and collectibles (what could they be?!?)
  - A few Halloween rares also have a chance to be obtained from now until 11/05, these are different than the Halloween Paragon drops
  
  - Forensic Evaluation changes:
  - Can be trained to 50 by the Gravedigger merchant
  - The skill can now be used to evaluate containers, live beings, and corpses
  - Already-picked containers can be inspected to reveal who has tampered with the lock
  - Player corpses can be inspected to see who murdered them, as well as if or who has disturbed the corpse, and lastly also revealing who/if someone else already inspected the corpse
  - Players can be inspected to reveal what NPC guild they are a member of, most importantly the Thieves Guild
  
  - Related general changes:
  - Q & E buttons will now be hidden if they do not have an ability assigned, as opposed to always showing a blank hotbar button(s)
  - The Q button will now show "Use RH" when you equip an object that doesn't have an ability, use this to double-click the object equipped in your right hand
  - Merchants that train skills will now have a context menu option (right-click menu) for each skill they train to simplify the skill training process

That old annoying bug that causes your weight to be doubled sometimes when moving items around has been resolved.

From now until 11/05 Paragon monsters will have a chance to drop a special Halloween item. We have introduced 4 new Halloween masks that can be blessed and dyed, as well as 2 new Halloween single-use dye bottles for dying your costumes. Happy hunting!

Thanks for joining our stream today! Test Center is back online, and Wrong is available for testing. Head on up to the Britain Graveyard to find the portal to the entry.

To get back to Britain, you can of course Recall, or there is a portal south of the Wrong entry, down the road a little. Don't forget to give us some feedback over in #dungeon-wrong-feedback

It's been a while, however we're ready to get moving with our next stream! This will be scheduled for 10am EST/3pm UTC next Saturday 29th of August. If you can't make that time, don't worry, we'll be recording the stream and will make it available on YouTube after the fact, or you can watch the VOD on Twitch.

In the next day or two, we'll share a link that will let you ask questions in advance, in case you can't make it on the day. We plan to give you an update of where we are at overall, and look forward to sharing it with you.

Hello everyone, recently the response times for help requests or emails have been a little slower than usual. We apologize if you've had to wait for a while to get a reply from us. We handle issues in the order they are received normally and sometimes it can take time to review, research and to reply back to everyone.

In some cases we have noticed that issues are resolved before we are able to help, which is great! So we want to thank all of you experienced players for your participation with helping others solve common issues, and also thank you for your patience when reaching out to staff.

Live has been updated to include a change from Britannia which causes mount stamina to not drain during a PvP timer.

We would like to remind all players of the Terms of Service that you agree to when connecting to any Legends of Aria-based product. Those Terms of Service can be found here:

Thank you for your understanding on this important matter.

An issue preventing guildmasters from seeing the Guildmaster Title option from the Guild Menu has been resolved

• Water Pitcher has been moved under Tools for the Tinkering skill.
  - Fixed a known durability bug with Water Pitcher.

• An issue has been resolved with being unable to beg the town vendors
  - An issue has been resolved with double-clicking a forge and targeting a container not starting the auto-salvage process
  - Only items inside of the container at the time that auto-salvage was initiated will be processed, avoiding any items added to the container after starting auto-salvage; This should resolve issues related to items being created in/moved into the container during salvaging causing some items to be salvaged even though they are not salvageable.
  

We are aware that many players are looking forward to "June 21st" based upon the most recent YouTube video stating that we hoped to have some big news by Spring 2020. This was not intended as an actual deadline, and was never meant to be received as such, as it was more of a hopeful projection. Meanwhile, as many of you are keenly aware, the "human malware" that has impacted the world, has impacted us too, and things have slowed for everyone. We will be avoiding making such projections in the future unless we are absolutely certain of timelines. Apologies for any unintentional confusion, but we appreciate your passion and excitement for the project! Stay safe.

An issue has been resolved that was causing players to become frozen after changing the shape of their body using Polymorph spell and disguise kits and the spell and disguise kits have been re-enabled now.
