Some Crashing...Some Servers Down
A couple of stories posted by Sanya today on the Camelot Herald about how the new patch caused some crashing and then about the bringing down of some servers to fix the crash bug then an overloaded HP bug. Would have made for some great XP time!!

Hi again, y'all. We have a small crash bug that occurs under rare circumstances that we've got to fix. We are not taking all the servers down at once; instead, we're taking them down a few at a time, making the fix, and bringing them back up before we take the next few down.
As our way of saying "Doh, our bad, sorry we had to take it down three times today (and possibly cause some experience loss due to rollbacks and resets)," every character who logs in after the patch will receive roughly the following: Level one characters will see no benefit (since this morning's Musical Servers didn't impact them), levels 2-10 are getting about a bubble of experience, and experience roughly equivalent to twenty yellow solo kills to all other characters.

We're... about to take the servers down. There will NOT be rollbacks this time, if you camp out when asked you will not lose a blessed thing.
It's pretty important that we take them down, though. There is a bug with buffs; for instance, constitution buffs result in people having many, MANY more HP than usual. Since there is no matching bug that increases spell damage or melee damage, this is bad. I am really sorry for the inconvenience, everyone.
