We?ve brought the Risia Server back online so you can have another chance to preview our upcoming module, The Demon Sands. Our third module is going to be released soon, so don?t miss your last chance to preview all the new features and content on Risia. You can visit the Dunes of Menechtarun, battle other players in the PvP arenas, advance your characters to levels 11 and 12 and try out the new feats, spells and enhancements you?ll gain along the way. Fierce new enemies await you, including the Djinni, Efreeti, Gnoll and the menacing Marilith. The Demon Sands is our biggest module yet, and we?re very excited to be giving you the chance to preview everything we have to offer in it.

We are continuing to improve the process of copying character data from the live servers onto Risia. In order to test new character copying procedures, we have copied characters from the following servers onto Risia:

• Adar
• Aerenal
• Argonnessen
• Aundair
• Fernia
• Ghallanda
• Kyber
• Lhazaar

All characters created and progress made on these servers as of October 2 has been copied to Risia. If you do not have a character on any of these servers, you can still join in. All experience for completing dungeons and other objectives has been increased twenty times. You?ll be taking on the big challenges in no time!

We?d like to encourage as many people as possible to log in this weekend, and so we will be giving away Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Sets to five random players who compete in PvP tournaments!

Friends List and Guild List functionalities should now be functional for characters copied to Risia. If you experience difficulties with either the Friends or Guild Lists, please log out and log back in again. If relogging does not resolve your difficulties, please contact Ingame Support. We are also seeking feedback on difficulties with Friends Lists and Guild Lists, including officer permissions in the Risia Test Server Discussion forum.
