Server Maintenance - November 15, 2012

[LordNathor]

There will be a scheduled server maintenance on Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 4:00 PM GMT/11 AM EST. This maintenance is to perform required system updates on our database servers. We expect service to be unavailable for approximately one hour.

NOTE: There will be no compensation for failed raids due to the maintenance interruption. So plan your schedules accordingly.

There will be no new features or content changes associated with this maintenance.

Due to a scheduling change by our server provider, the maintenance for November 8th has been rescheduled to November 15th. There will be no maintenance on November 8th.

Several of our members and mercs have complained about reduced gold shields gains from the alchemist lockboxes recently.
I have done a few runs myself, always spending 300 to 500k silver per run and I have indeed barely be able to reach 3 GS for 100k silver, against a widely accepted 4 / 100k before. Is it just widespread bad luck or was there indeed a change?

Bad luck. Drop rates have not changed.
