Hello fellow Fiestans!

It's Tuesday and you know what that means? Oh that's right, it's Wednesday and not Tuesday. REWIND!!! It's Wednesday and you know what that means? It's time for our weekly server maintenance that has been postponed for one day! The preparations for this week's maintenance was rather intense and there are a few known issues due to the patch. To start things off, we want to thank our community again for making the last four years of Outspark's existence enjoyable every single day! [GM]Kobal was all choked up when meeting this milestone and LightBurb and WishBone laughed in his face. When this led to him crying even more, we apologized and got kicked in the shin. In retaliation, both WishBone and Lightburb decided to unload a full bag of filled water balloons at Kobal. While the shenanigans had caused some drama within the office and many of the GMs had to take sides, the Fiesta Team was able to get a lot accomplished. Aside from all the goofing off, we have some new changes, bug fixes and more! Continue reading for more information!

The servers will be shutting down starting at 10:00PM PST, and the maintenance has a planned completion time of 1:00AM PST, for a total of 3 hours. Check the server announcements located in the Fiesta forums for updates in case the process is completed any sooner (or later).

Let us know how the new skills are xD I haven't been on my (noob) archer in a bit.

Haven't played my archer since trickster came out, but I'll give it a look tomorrow. I think 2 of the skills they were talking about are already prestige level skills that were "underpowered" in players minds, so I can't do much with them.
