LIVE:
- The Pipp bombing escort has been re-written to be thread friendly.
- Attempting to gain multiple credit for a single cannon will prove more difficult during the Pipp bombing escort
- "The Man" will no longer allow players to purchase spells which have deprecated over time
- "The Man" will now properly reward Shadowmeld
- Ghostly Skull will now check for active combat before any teleportation
- Ghostly Skull will now offer an option to port to Dire Maul Arena
- Suspended accounts will correctly block GM commands again
- .npcsay command is now affected by the same chat filter as normal chat
- The automute system will no longer mute players who are currently under a mute
- Numerous adjustments to all inrange iterations in the core to help reduce heap corruption
Please note, server content/development has come to a crawl due to the frequency of crashes of late in the ArcEmu core. Until an acceptable level of stability is reached this will be the case.

DEPTHS will be coming down as of this post for some unscheduled maintenance.
REASON: Recent crashes caused by memory leaks need to be addressed.
Updates will be provided in this post/thread. Expect downtime to be 1-2 hours.
UPDATE: Server is being brought back online. (18:27)

• Ghostly Skull NPC has shy'd away. Attempting to call him will no longer work, instead an item will be produced upon attempting to call him in which you can speak directly to him from your inventory.
• Until further notice, any spell which creates a guardian style pet/npc is disabled. Current core structure is flawed and does not handle guardian creation/deletion properly.

I am currently searching through GM applications seeking potential new volunteers to "Fatten the ranks." Thus far I'd like to invite both Shanxn and Azzybear to contact me should you still be interested.
That being said I will be purging the GM Application Database of any applications submitted prior to this month of October. This is being done both to show continued desire (many applicants haven't logged on in weeks) and to allow applicants a chance of submitting a more desirable application.
Some tips and things to remember when submitting an application:
- I place a high value on grammar(It doesn't have to be perfect, but the effort needs to be there)
- I place a high value on etiquette.
- I place a high value on the applicant being able to answer the questions properly.
- I expect applicants to have read all server rules/policies and be able to answer the questionnaire accordingly.
- I expect applicants login history to be "fruitful" per week. (Many past applicants go weeks at a time without logging into the game/forums)
- Applicant public-channel chat logs will be reviewed as well. Any prior incidents that would reflect poorly on a GM or DEPTHS will significantly reduce the chance of acceptance.
In the future, expect some changes with the GM Application system. Please "stay tuned" to the forums for any additional postings of the matter.

As of this post, anyone browsing DEPTHS forums will be limited to access of the NEWS category only.
This is to both limit resources to anonymous sources and also encourage players to become a part of our forums/community.

As a start to current and upcoming balance changes in regards to PvP, and some PvE, the following changes will be made live today.
SHAMAN:
- Lightning Shield has had it's efficiency from spellpower significantly reduced to be used as a utility spell to minimally assist shaman DPS while taking damage.
- Earth Shield has had it's efficiency reduced so as to not allow all shamans a spammable god-mode
DRUID:
- Cat Form base attack speed is now 0.5
- Bear form base attack speed is now 1.5
HUNTER:
- Arcane Shot has had it's efficacy significantly reduced.
- Hunter Ranged Attack Power gain from agility has been reduced by 25%.
Please provide any feedback in the already existing thread HERE. This thread will be closed to reduce the need to search for this discussion.
Ok folks, NOW is the time to get feedback in. The server is being built around you, please don't wait for 6 months down the road to gripe about the state of balance when you could have been part of it all now.
