I rolled a new Cham­pion on Brandy­wine. It’s one of the few classes I’ve not even attempted to play as in the past. So far I’ve been hav­ing fun with it because it feels so new. This is cou­pled with the fact Archet and Bree-land have been revamped a bit since I last played. I really feel like there’s more of a nat­ural flow now. Before it was easy to iso­late your­self into a sin­gle area .… You can still do this (there’s cer­tainly plenty to do), but now I have quests that obvi­ously sug­gest check­ing out Buck­town or The Shire and so forth. Before it was easy to skip that zone entirely as a Man, but I think they’ve come up with a great balance.

The Auc­tion sys­tem will be unavail­able on Glad­den, Brandy­wine, Fire­foot and Sil­ver­lode from 12PM to 4PM EST.

My brother was remark­ing yes­ter­day that he was hav­ing issues with the Auc­tion House. I was kind of sur­prised by this given that there’s been a cou­ple of hot­fixes already. I hope this fixes the issue once and for all. I’m at least happy that Tur­bine is directly address­ing it.

Makes me won­der if Glad­den is one of the more pop­u­lar sev­ers out there cur­rently. You hear an awful lot about Sil­ver­lode and Brandy­wine, that’s for sure.

In any event, the servers will be oth­er­wise avail­able. Any auc­tions end­ing dur­ing this main­te­nance period will be given to the high­est bid­der at the time (or returned to the poster if there are no bids).
