We're aiming for the 5th, but we still have some significant testing to do on it before we can lock down the date.

We're very aware of the points distribution issue that's impacting someplayers. It's the number one priority for our billing and serviceplatform team and has been since it was uncovered. Unfortunately, thisis a complex system and the number of new and returning players we'veseen since launch has further complicated our attempts to fix it.

Right now our planned course of action is twofold:

1. Credit missing points to any players who have lost them.
2. Make sure that automated grants are happening properly on an ongoing basis

I apologize to everyone who's had a problem with this. We clearly hadissues with this system that didn't manifest during beta. We're workingdiligently on the issue and will not rest until it's resolved.

We don't yet have an ETA for when the issue will be completely resolved. When there's more information we'll share it.

Thanks for your patience as we work through this.

Update 1 comes with a retroactive change to existing tomes that we want to make sure you are aware of.

From the Known Issues:
In order to support reincarnation, all tomes will now have a minimumlevel associated with them. If you use a tome with no minimum leveldisplayed before you are eligible, the benefits of that tome will begradually applied as you reach the appropriate levels.

For example: If you use a +2 tome at level 1, you'll receive the firststat point at level 3, and the second stat point at level 7.

Reincarnation is not yet in-game and will be available in the future,but this change was made now in order to lay the foundation. Sorry forany inconvenience, and thanks for your understanding!

The tome change was not intentional, and is the result of a bug.Unfortunately it's not one that we can fix due to complications withreincarnation. The only bright side to the dark cloud is it allows youto receive the benefits over time rather than just not at all (example:a +4 tome tome with no minimum level will grant the bonus over time themoment you are eligible for each of the stat increases, rather thanmaking you wait for any bonus at all until you were the min levelrequired for +4).

Originally this was supposed to be covered in our reincarnationchatter, but when reincarnation got pushed out, so too did thediscussion about this that's my bad. When I was going through the KIs from another thread Irealized that it didn't make it in >< so I'll go ahead andhighlight some of that here:

There is no way for us to predict WHEN you would eat a tome. When youlesser/greater reincarnate, we have to assign your tome to some pointin time. There's no way for us to predict that you would want to useyour tome at the level that you did. Maybe you looted your tome waylate and ate it as a higher level character because that's when you gotaccess to it. There's not a way for the system to go "ah I see that nowthat you're reincarnating, and had a +2 tome that you used in your lastlife at level X, you are destined to eat that tome at level Y to getthe most skill points when you take that level of [class] at level Z".We had to standardize the tomes so the reincarnation NPCs canpredictably apply the stat bonus.

We also wished to give more equality to the benefits of tomes - by thebook, a +2 Intelligence tome eaten at level 5 is significantly morepowerful than one that was eaten at level 15 due to the additionalskill points. By "phasing tomes in" - +1 at level 3, +2 at level 7, +3at level 11, +4 at level 15, and +5 at level 19, we level the playingfield and give people a way to retroactively gain skill points fortomes eaten late.

We had planned on not changing the old tomes to be impacted by minlevel, but they got sucked into mix by virtue of the reincarnation. Wecan't predict that you are going to eat a no-min-level tome but NOTreincarnate. We can't say "sorry you can't reincarnate because you atea non-min-level tome" either.

These were things originally meant to be covered in the dev diary butthe dev diary got delayed due to the feature push, and I missed addingit to the KI so that is totally my bad.

Also note that even though reincarnation is not available for you toaccess because we're still working on it, the code for it is still inthe game atm. We've just suppressed it so you can't access it becauseit's not yet in a state where it's ready for mass consumption. Thus theitems are being affected by the changes because the changes ARE there,you just can't access them.

Specifically, the suppression of inherent bonuses for low levelcharacters was not intended to go live with Update 1, and was supposedto be tied to when Reincarnation hits the servers. At the same time asthat, old no-ML tomes were going to be given minimum levels to matchnewly dropped tomes - we were planning on covering all of this in aseries of reincarnation articles and explaining what's going to happenrather than springing it on you as a surprise.

Currently, you can eat a no-ML tome on a low level character and theeffect will be suppressed until you reach level 3, at which point thecharacter will gain a +1 Inherent bonus to the ability score. At level7, you will upgrade to a +2 (if it was a +2 tome), and so on. This isundesirable because there's no feedback at this time. ("I at a tome andnothing happened!")
