Issue 14: Architect Releases!

Issue 14: Architect has been released to the Live Servers. Go forth, create your own stories, or conquer your fellow players' custom critters! Gotta collect 'em all!

Here are some important changes you need to be aware of:

• NCsoft will be granting a @Global Chat Handle rename token with the Issue 14 launch. To change your global chat handle, type /change_handle "Player Name" in the chat line or click on "Chat Handle (X)" from the drop down "Menu" option.
• NCsoft will be granting a (1) free respec to each active character, to enable your freespec please type /respec on the build you wish to change.
• The /help command will now bring up the in-game Help Menu System. This essentially replicates choosing "Help" from the drop down Menu option. We found that many players did not know that we had an in-game Help system.
• Players wishing to chat on the server wide "Help Channel" will now have to type in /hc.
• Super Leader is now active. Please follow the instructions here to change leadership.
• Active accounts will no longer have items placed on consignment deleted after 60 days of inactivity.
• Taskforce Random Recipe Roll has been combined with Trial Random Recipe Roll to form the Random Rare Recipe Roll at Merit Vendors.
• Additionally, recipes in this combined drop pool have a very small chance of dropping off of boss critters.

Wanted: Your Mad Writing Skillz (with a Z)

Want to contribute to Wikia's "City of" Wiki but don't know where to start? One good place to start is by editing articles that are designated as Stub articles and Work in Progress articles. These articles need anything from minor tweaks to major overhauls, and anything you have to add would be appreciated!

If you want to dive into writing some highly needed articles from scratch, check out the list of Wanted Pages. These are pages that are linked to from other pages but that have no articles associated with them. They are sorted by the number of links that point to them, so by filling in the articles towards the top of the list, you will be giving the most bang for your temporal buck.
