There is still some work to be done before launch and I won't have time to let anybody in earlier than what I announced.

PVP in Ascension will be an endless struggle to gain gladiator points by killing other players. With a lock-out script which
makes it where only 1 of your accounts can be inside the zone, you're surely going to need some solid skills or a trusty
friend to fight your way to the top. When you die, you'll lose some of your Gladiator Points, so you need to constantly
be on your A+ game to get far. Only the best of the best will sport around the strongest of pvp gear. PVP Gear is loaded
with health and extra STA, so you're getting major VSES improvements of 750 per VSES rank and three times the HP of a
normal item.

Hordes of frost goblins and other foul beasts are gathering in permafrost to fight for their ascended dragon queen. Varlyndria must put an end to this cult before it gets strong enough to become a major threat.

Rules for Group/Raid zones will be different on loot drops.

• Lieutenants Power Rank (LPR) are the new Minions and have a 6.25% drop chance.
• Bosses Power Rank (BPR) are the new Lieutenants and have a 50.0% drop chance.
• Overlord Power Rank (OPR) remain the same and have a 100% drop chance.

The server is very close to being ready for Open Alpha. I hope you're all excited as I am! It's been a long four
months of hard work to make this a reality and I appreciate all the support. A big thanks to Natedog who has
helped me greatly with this project.

Any plans to translate those LPR4's into something more immersive?

Those codes in the mob's last name are extremely important for many reasons.
You'll get used to them after a while.

The server is scheduled to launch very soon. Around - 12am -1am Eastern Time.

The Gloom Pearl Pirates have been risen from the ascension and are once
again up to no good. Journey into Veksar and show Varlyndria what you got.

The Devourer of Dreams is back because of the ascension. Varlyndria must
act quickly.

Something terrible is happening on the Island of Monkey Rock...
