The former Tabards and Shirts will be getting nerfed down to the correct stats after a large project is done. Classes that gain 2xAgil+2x/1xStrength = AP are Rogue, Shaman, Druid and Hunter. From all of the experience I have, these four classes are the only ones that benefit from both. The stats on all farmable items will be reworked soon enough. Removing strength benefits from Hunters, Shamans, Druids and Rogues and then creating another line of Tabard Upgrades for Agility classes may be something that benefits everyone. Druid may be a tricky one, because of the bear form strength benefits. The staff and I will decide on that in a meeting.

Can't be done with the powers I have.

We have vendors, a dummy and quest givers outside of the arena. Due to that, I am going to say no. If we didn't have the non-PVP attractions there, then yeah we could take the safe zone off. The server is actually flagged for the safe zone, to where PvP is disabled outside of FFA areas. Notice the "Normal" on the server type when you go to choose realms? That is what that is all about.

-Update may 22nd 2015- Welcome Eternian! Today we removed custom bags officially. See the news article about it here. Doing that, we are now able to officially release The Arcatraz! The Arcatraz Talk to the lady in the picture above to get started... The Arcatraz has gear restricions set to all non-VIP gear. There are a few new things to earn that were added to Battle Maiden and Deathwing. New upgrades for your tabards and shirts. The Arcatraz also offers a vendor located at the the Gilneas Mall that you can purchase VIP2 modified gear, and better offsets for your characters. Also included in the release of The Arcatraz is a new set of Level 4 BoA weapons, so go out there and adventure. Happy Release Day!

- Update - The changes were made this morning (my time) and I will be going through to fine comb the leftover bags, and some items will be changed back. In order to get your items back, including the token if you had a custom bag, you need to use the magic stone and use the receive donations option.

Ice-Eternian has been growing, and going through some adaptations as it is going. One of these adaptations is the removal of custom bags. The main reason we are commencing this change is to allow better gear restrictions on instances, to make things a bit more challenging for you, and to put that preciously farmed Ice Warden's gear to the test. We are going to change all currently customized bags into a token, and the description will read: "Create an Admin Support Request to redeem this token. You will be allowed one free item change for the bag token we create." IMPORTANT: Create an admin ticket with the title "Bag Evolution" to be serviced on the matter. Any requests without this title may be disregarded. Any tickets that are for customizing an item into a bag will be denied and closed. Any tickets requesting additional stats to a custom bag will be denied and closed. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your time. Please be patient if you have an admin ticket, because there may be a heavy amount of tickets open at any given time. Click here to view the article

SIMPLE: That content doesn't exist for this server yet as these guys so elaborately explained. It isn't VIP exclusive, nor does it exist.

The set you suggested is not available on our version. I will check out that site, but the main idea of Transmog sets is for the players to tell us what they want, not for us to just make 400 sets that maybe 10-11 get used.

Fair enough. Report has concluded as invalid unless otherwise mentioned by other staff.

There is something called '/ignore' that Blizzard originally implemented for a reason. Use at your own discretion. As far as the harassment claims, let's see how well the '/ignore' works first, then if he makes new characters to mess with you, I will handle it. Markings is actually not Dyta, so I will keep an eye on him as well. I do appreciate the reports on these kinds of things, that way we can handle them. I will be watching...

<Deathwing's Revenge> Hey Eternian, Deathwing is ready for a new challenger. He is made for High Donor combatants, and you'll need a healer. He does need some suggestions, so post them here. Thanks!

This issue was handled. Thank you for your report.

Based on the current exchange rate, this would be even easier to allow. Great suggestion.

As long as it is all one-handers exchange to one-handers, and etc, then yeah, I can do something like this. I won't do ranged/relic weapon to melee, nor will I allow two-handers to change into one-handers. I will keep this in mind after I finish up Arcatraz. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice choice. I will tell Chip.

Freezing a player to deal with them whilst in the arena is not abusing GM powers. It doesn't matter if he even had anything to talk about with the player. If he froze you instead, this would be a whole different sentence. Just simply find a new player to attack. If the player wants you to stop, they can leave the arena and unflag. As many of you know, the arena is the main place for a majority of our population, and that is also where a lot of the chatting and AFKing goes on. If you want to chat, go outside the arena. That includes the GM's talking with players. Thank you for reporting though, I will discuss this matter with my GM's.

Buy a new mouse.

After talking with staff a while ago it was announced multiple times that we won't be opening the character shop for Eternian until we find a way to correct purchases that would transfer, otherwise the characters you might purchase would be empty on arrival. That wouldn't be something you want, so we need to find a way to signify purchases in a mass collection of players. For now, there is no estimated time of release for the Eternian Character shop due to the problems with purchases. When this becomes a higher priority we will consider a few options that our staff meeting discussed. Thank you for asking though. I hope this sheds light on the topic.

STRATHOLME Good ol' Strat was nerfed last night, by about 78%. Most NPC's had about 30000 armor, and now have within 10000 and 4500 armor. This will drastically nerf the creatures in Strat, and their health was reduced by 12 million. Go test it out, tell me what you think.

A majority of the creatures in all instances drop Magic Gold. They do so based on difficulty, so the higher the dungeon, the higher the Magic Gold.

Coming from iRyan to myself, "AoE loot is not supported by Cata Clients." I am sure there are ways to create the allusion of it existing, or the possibility of giving larger range to lootable corpses?

Today it was brought to our staff meeting: Staff may not use special spells on players, so if a staff member is using special, non-class or non-generic, spells on players in an abusive matter please address it by reporting it in the Report Player/GM forum section. Secondly, with the new content recently added, it has come to our attention that some newer rules may need to be released to the public to avoid any confusion. IceCold-WoW has a general rules list here, which do apply, but there are special rules related to recent events and content. Please read the below CAREFULLY. As a general rule, GRIEFING players or staff is now going to be our general punishable offense. Define it: Player/Staff offending another player/staff to an excessive extent, to which the person is feeling uncomfortable, damaged or unsafe. Examples: This could be unavoidable harassment, forced targetting, or other forms of intentional damage to a player's ability to play without negativity. Be aware, stealing the tag of creatures in farming zones, just for the shear pleasure of taking something from someone else is Griefing. Camping may be considered harassment, if it is specific to one person for a prolonged period. Reports with screenshots are always preferred for this kind of behavior. The punishments for Griefing include two categories: - Physical Grief - First Offence: 30 minute Character Ban Second Offence: 2 hour Account Ban Third Offence: 12 hour Account Ban Fourth Offence: 24 hour Account Ban Last Stage: 7 day Account Ban (the last stage will be the same punishment for every offence after 4 offences) - Verbal Grief - First Offence: 30 minute Mute Second Offence: 2 hour Mute Third Offence: 12 hour Account Ban Fourth Offence: 24 hour Account Ban Last Stage: 7 day Account Ban (the last stage will be the same punishment for every offence after 4 offences) I was asked to address sniping in the arena. The matter was discussed and sniping is reportable, and punishable as an unfair advantage over other players. Here is an escalation of the punishments: - Sniping - First Offence: Warning and/or Kick Second Offence: 30 minutes Character Ban Third Offence: 2 hour Character Ban Fourth Offence: 12 hour Character Ban Last Stage: 24 hour Character Ban (account ban may be considered) (the last stage will be the same punishment for every offence after 4 offences) Click here to view the article

I don't know what you are talking about, it is damn lively on my side. 3-5 Admin Tickets, 1-8 GM tickets... always people on. Lovely actually. :)
