DAoC's servers will be brought off-line bright and early tomorrow morning (6AM EST!) to bring patch version 1.109c live. Some of the tweeks this patch will bring; more challenging encounters in Summoner's Hall, more kill tasks in the battlegrounds and slight adjustments for a few classes in their spell lines:

Please be sure to check the Herald for updates regarding this downtime.
