[Hulks! What now?]

yeah the AA handling will be in game at the next content sync at the start of October (hopefully).

We have to change the weighting system very slightly to make them less common, and make sure the actual ancient artifacts aren't in the hulks, only an unidentified artifact you need to take to Ayoko.

With the hulks spawning infrequently they are quite precious, just like in live.

There are a few nice surprises in store for hulk items later on too, I'm sure Merlin will keep you posted as and when they are added.

I have found a few unidentified ancient artifacts and visited many NPCs but have not found one that will identify them for me. Any suggestions?

Means nothing to me, but hopefully it will to someone else.

[Couldn't launch Net7 server]

I am getting the same message on one of my machines.

"Error launching client.

Details: Could not patch registry settings."

The other patched fine and both running on XP. Go figure.

[Server down on a Saturday morning]

So, still no indication of server status or when it will be back up?
