A shorty from Anarchy Online Game Director this week. Here's what Means had to say for the Friday update. 

Two patches this week...and even on a FRIDAY...but it seems like things are finally where they should have been some *ahem* time ago. From the number of corpses I've seen so far it seems the difficulty is where it should be..and the loot seems about right now too. Thank you all for the constructive feedback and patience that has brought us to this point.

On to much more important things:

TestLive is now running at the IPSoft hosting center. The move happened on Thursday after the update to the Live dimensions. This is a very significant step in moving to our new host in our efforts to bring you guys better stability and performance. Going hand-in-hand with this move will be a move to newer and simply "more" machines. A veritable wall of hardware is being thrown at the lag issue to see if we can reduce its impact on your enjoyment of Anarchy Credits.

This is not an insignificant investment and I am thankfull that after almost 8 years company management still has the faith and pride in Anarchy Credits to continue to invest in the future of our world in both development and support for our initiatives. This is a very, very good week for us...even when taking into account that we just patched on a Friday.

Assuming all looks well we hope to migrate completely (all dimensions) to our new host and new hardware within the next month.

Progress! Progress! Progress! In Anarchy Credits.

*Elder Hall Instance*

Bosses inside "Elder Hall" should now be Boss-Calmable again in Anarchy Credits.

The spawn of the Deranged Xan should no longer trigger an NCU wipe. (NCU wipes of any kind should also no longer remove "reward buffs" of any kind.)

Added buff reward for those who complete the Elder Hall instance. (Not related to the mission. Will happen at every completion of this instance.)

Standing the the "altar" rooms will now be significantly more painfull.

*Other Updates*

Should Fabio be out of position in Sector 42 he can now be returned to his post by speaking with him.

You will no longer have to complete a quest line to access "Inside the Machine". Those who have already completed this quest and have received their "Dust Brigade Security Codes" will now find that this item will now
transport them to the DB instance from anywhere on RK and transport them BACK to a city of their side once outside the instance.

Using Enforcer Rage Nanos should no longer clear Neretva Canyon access nanos.

Fixed several exploits in Anarchy Credits.

*Hotfix*

Insane damage should no longer be inflicted by the Strange Mist inside the Elder Hall instance.

Loot tables of the Deranged Xan have been adjusted to the now reasonably stable level of difficulty.
