TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week! Player Bans June 28 - July 4 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. Kong/Armor: 8 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs: July Three-Day Weekend Calendar! Ready for some fun and games? The July Three-Day Weekend Calendar started this morning at 10:00 am PDT and finishes up on July 14 at 10:00 am PDT. Introducing the Elixir of the Gods! What is the Elixir of the Gods and who can quaff it? Find out more about our new feature here. In-Game Message Priority Tweak This is a feature suggested on our very own forums! As you can see in the top right of the above image, there is a dropdown box that will let you specify if you want to display the most recent message (current functionality), force the tab to display Clan/Squad/Mob first, or force it to display Public first. Arena/War Scheduling Change When the Two Events Conflict We pushed out an update this week that changes the timing of Arenas or Wars slightly when they come into a scheduling conflict with each other (i.e. they occur on the same date and time). The jist of it is that one event is bumped up by an hour depending on whether or not there's already an event in the next time slot it would have taken. Read more about that here. Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Happy Friday! I thought that this week I would gab a bit about a topic near and dear to my heart: Freedom of Speech. For those of you who slept through Social Studies class, if you have Freedom of Speech it essentially means that you can criticize your government without them arresting you for it. Many people consider this an important component of a healthy and ethical political system. It does NOT mean, however, that someone can act like a complete A-hole on the internet and be magically immune to all negative consequences of their actions. If you are being loud and obnoxious in a restaurant, they can ask to leave. If you are rude to someone in a game, they can beat the stuffing out of your character. And if a Kano team member sees you behaving abusively towards other players in the Chat or on the Forums, we can take away your privileges to use those tools. Your ability to communicate in these spaces is actually defined as a privilege, rather than a right. Privileges can be lost if abused, and your access to the World Chat is not related to your Freedom of Speech. In summary, I would like to politely request that people not threaten us with lawsuits for "taking away their freedom of speech." If you are interested in learning more, I highly recommend a visit to your local library. Cheers, Aardvark who is bored of her current playlist and really needs to update her music collection Terrible Joke of the Week Here's your lame joke of the week! How do you unlock a haunted house?

As I'm sure you (the person reading this) noticed, there were no Elite/Legendary items released this week. They were originally on track for a roll-out today, but unfortunately we've had to postpone the launch until early next week. Apologies for the inconvenience!
how about something like this ? Three men are sitting stiffly side by side on a long commercial flight. After they're airborne and the plane has leveled off, the man in the window seat abruptly says, distinctly and confidently, in a low voice, "Vice-Admiral, United States Navy, retired. Married, two sons, both surgeons." After a few minutes the man in the aisle seat states through a tightlipped smile, Rear Admiral, United States Navy, retired. Married, two sons, both judges." After some thought, the fellow in the center seat decides to introduce himself. With a twinkle in his eye he proclaims: Master Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy, retired. Never married, two sons, both Admirals."
I was hoping that you will include the upgrades for the Odin's Ravens to, as I already have thousands of unused drops. They will be released when a new location is out or sometime maybe next year? Then I better just forget that boss to...
I certainly hope that is not everything, Just 2 different Boss Drops & that took this long???? WOW And WHY are the Legendary Acorn Slings under "Warriors" in the Blacksmith????
It's certainly not everything, the crafting for Odin's Ravens and Valhalla will be out next week with Folkvang to follow soon after. The Legendary Acorn Slings being under Warriors might be a data entry error, I'll get a dev to look at it.
Pretty magical crafting to turn a weapon into a warrior... Whoops! Sorry about that. A fix for this is now live.
I just have one question: "Stay current on all the plans for the Nine Worlds." I saw that at the top and have no clue what the "9 worlds" are. Call me dumb, but clue me in someone
The Nine Worlds are all the planets unified by Yggdrasil. Norse cosmology, y'all! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_cosmology
Just a smaller bug: the Elite Shadowswipe Sword its unlocked at lvl Level 11500, with 100 lvls below the boss
