If you have been playing here for a few years you might recall something I used to do called Monthly Events.  They were a lot of fun but also exhausting to put together, seemed like I was working 2 weeks a month just to get the next one setup.  So I started working on little systems that would eventually grow up to do big things.  I can promise it won't be perfect nor without a hitch but figured by the end of the month we will be ready to do it again but better after working out the issues this month.  This is kind of why the rewards had to be done in such a way where it would not mean the end of the world and yet everything you do this month can be taken to the next month and you can continue the working on things.  With that there are 2 new systems:  RME, the base of how skill augments work allows for a lot of issues and needed to be redone from the ground up, one this month is done and things get tested you will start to see them filter into other aspects of the game on a more equal level. RME can be increased from +1 to +7, you can socket them at any point as well.  Just know that once you do it is locked in stone at that point.  So the trick will be to increase it first and then socket it.  Over the next few months all of the skills will be added to the system in order for you to use this completely.  (Relax, your current augments still work and no one is taking them away)  Next is the Ring of Shadows, we get tons of calls for more stealing stuff so decied to start here but each month while I am working out issues there will be a new ring for different playing styles added over the next few months. 

This event will also give you tons of things that can use used for working with the above systems.  I feel happy you will also start to see things appear in other aspects of the shard as well.

Good luck, relax and have fun.  The event will start later today once I finish up my normal Friday stuff.
