Maintenance Notice

Greetings Inheritors!

We have discovered an issue relating to the Character Selection/Server Selection options which cause the game to freeze.

This is done by:

1: Entering a Server in game

2: Exiting to Character Selection

3: Going to Server Selection

4: Attempting to re-enter a server

5: The game will subsequently freeze

We are working with XL to resolve this as soon as possible, but please be aware that if you follow the steps above there may be issues and you will have to restart your game.
