Version 1.109c Goes Live

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:

We will be bringing all servers offline on Tuesday, 09/20, for the implementation of Patch 1.109c. All servers will be coming down at 6:00 am EDT / 12:00 pm CEST. We anticipate that all servers will be back online no later than 2:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CEST.

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