There was also a hotfix for the game with one patch note today:

Here are today's updates:

Updated Items: Beginner Smith Trophy

Bestiary Updates: Klok Gnask

Earlier tonight, GamesBeat broke the news that John Smedley has stepped down from his position as President and CEO of Daybreak Game Company. This move comes in the wake of recent DDoS attacks and the subsequent deletion of Smedley's social media accounts (most notably on Twitter and Reddit). According to Daybreak's spokesperson, Smedley will be "taking some time off from the company" before "transitioning to a different role to be determined."

To take up the reigns of President is COO Russell Shanks, who has been with the company since its inception. Continue reading after the jump for some personal commentary on this development from former PlanetSide 2 Creative Director Matt Higby.

Here are today's updates:

Updated Quests: Poacher Heads ;  Kobold Molars (Good) ;  TDS Rank III Level 105 Spells: Glowing Essence of the Citadel

Bestiary Updates: Emylie Steelclaws

Servers came down this morning at 6am PT for a two hour update. Here are the patch notes:

*** Highlights ***

• Proc effect stacking - Multiple procs can now trigger from the same triggering action. Each proc effect that is active will be processed independently. See the Spells section for details.
• Damage shields now report the damage that they do in all cases and can be directed to chat filters.
• Spells that do not take hold will now relay a more accurate description as to why they did not take hold.
• A new item, the Legend of the Oathbreaker, is available with prizes from the Legends of Norrath sets Oathbreaker, Ethernauts, and Against the Void.
• Journeyman's Rucksacks and Journeyman's Pocketed Rucksacks are now available for purchase year-round on all servers that have Omens of War unlocked.

Have a great weekend!

Starting on Thursday, July 30th at 2pm PT, players on the Ragefire and Lockjaw servers will be able to transfer for free between the two servers for a limited time. Through 11am PT on Monday, August 10th, using the /servertransfer option in-game will allow for players to move any number of characters from one progression server to the other.

After the free period expires, characters can still be transferred between the two servers by purchasing Character Transfer Tokens in the Marketplace. The token option will only remain available until one of the servers unlocks the Kunark expansion, at which point transfers will only be permitted from the server that is behind to whichever server is ahead in progression.
