did Wolfsbane just go dark in the middle of our raid?

Not sure is it related to the issue which has caused them to take down all European servers for an emergency hotfix nearly an hour ago, seems there was some issue causing the servers to crash..

** Upcoming EU Region Emergency Update - 7:00pm GMT/8:00pm BST 27/7/12 **

In order to fix an issue causing a shard crash every couple of hours, we're going to be taking the EU servers down ahead of the next expected crash window in order to deploy a hotfix.

Target time is 7:00pm GMT, with an estimated downtime is ** 30 minutes **. We know this is a primetime interruption but figure a scheduled outage is better than unexpected kicks.

Edit: here we go...

** Upcoming NA Region Emergency Update - 1:30pm PDT 7/27/12 **

Hi everyone! You all probably just got kicked out of the game and hopefully will see this right away - we're going to be bringing the NA shards down deliberately at 1:30pm PDT to deploy the fix build for these crashes we're seeing.

Est. downtime at 1:30 is 30 minutes. Status updates here as usual.

Wait, 1.10 is dropping in 3 weeks? >.>

[Lathais]

CONQUEST

* A number of conquest locations have been moved or removed in Conquest: Stillmoor.

Does anyone know what this means? Does this mean they removed Extractors or less areas of the map are accessible or what? I'll try to squeeze a CQ in tonight when I get home from work, but just curious before I do, what actually got removed?

[Slipmat]

Trion definitely want more Guilds to progress in ID

After a few 'tweaks' to Laethys last week, Maelforge now gets nerfed...eh, i mean 'adjusted'

It's very unusual for Trion to give out patch notes long before the patch even drops, fairly sure also that must be a typo for EU and they meant August 31st
