Rogue Guild Disarmed!
The Gyre & Gimble, a favorite weapon of the Rogue class is exiled after use, which makes it difficult to keep up with manufacturing. For now, they are not available for rated play. Have no fear, though! The Scaleforge are working night and day to come up with an easier to manufacture version so as to keep up with demand.

Nitish in Seclusion!
Nitish, ever conscious of the perils of dabbling too much with shadow energies, has determined that use of his powers threatens the world of Balor - as there is a change doing so could inadvertently open up additional Shadow Portals. He is trying to find a way to moderate his powers so that he can once again use them without such dangerous potential effects. Unitil then, he is unavailable for rated play.

Shoreline Defenses Erected!
A concerted effort of Templar and Yari forces have erected formidable defenses along the shores of Balor's major population areas. Until the dastardly pirates can find a way around these defenses, the threat of Shorline Skirmishes in rated play have been averted.
