but remember: if you love the Demonweb Spiderling, the Druid’s Wolf Pup, and the Onyx Panther Cub make sure that you pick up the expansion before June 24th, because these particular Companions are exclusive and won’t be in the store once pre-purchase ends!
so we have arranged for all existing characters in DDO to get their very own slice of Six Year Old Cake. While that may not sound so tasty, there is a Djinni who will gladly take that cake off of your hands and grant you a “wish” in exchange – so long as that wish involves choosing one of the great prizes in his list including your choice of +2 ability tomes.
The Djinni will be there to consume your cake whenever you are ready for him.
Sixth Birthday Cake Known Issue
February 27, 2012
Having multiple players click on a Sixth Birthday Cake Djinni can cause issues with delivering the birthday items. Players should use their Djinni in a private area.
The 10% XP Bonus will be here through March 4th.
In addition to the premium features we’ve already discussed, there will be a large number of technology upgrades, system updates and bug fixes which will improve the game experience for all of our players. For example, we are completely overhauling our enhancement system and filling out the PrEs for all classes! There will also be significant changes to help performance and reduce lag. We are releasing a lot of new information today, and we have plans for many more dev diaries and articles which will be posted in the coming months. Keep your eyes on DDO.com and the forums for more information.
For those of us who love to True Reincarnate, the new XP tomes will be especially handy and (and they thankfully persist through TR , as all tomes will now do with the launch of U13).
Another important thing we are announcing today is that Update 14 will be coming this August! Just two months after Menace of the Underdark goes live, we are planning to release our first premium Forgotten Realms adventure pack. It introduces an all new story line and our second Epic level raid in the game.
I just wanted to post to add that my account was also credited 2,000 TP when I applied the pre-order. (collector edition)
I just crafted in the Kundarak crafting halls … I destroyed a shard !!! And before that, days ago, without noticing, another one !!!
[snip]
And then it replaces the one shard with the other one.
Without any asking. Without any warning. Without any error message. Without any hint that this belt might perhaps NOT be able to hold TWo shards at the same time !
It is no longer possible for players to mistakenly overwrite prefixes and suffixes when you apply a new crafting shard.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Item Delivery Issues
Due to item delivery issues, do not yet activate the “6 Year Old Birthday Cake” or the “Menace of the Underdark: Pre-purchase Ticket” found in character inventories.
If you’ve already experienced an item delivery issue with cakes or pre-purchase tickets, we are in the process of implementing fixes for both of these issues. Please note the following:
CAKE: If you already activated your cake but did not receive your items on that character, you do not need to submit a ticket to receive assistance.
PRE-PURCHASE ITEMS: If you already activated your pre-purchase expansion ticket and the character did not receive the pre-purchase bonus items, please stand by for further instructions. More information will be provided as soon as it is available.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
This hotfix will include several fixes. In general, this hotfix aims to address Menace of the Underdark preorder ticket issues and Six Year Old Birthday Cake issues for people who redeem these items after tomorrow's hotfix, improve performance of the Menace of the Underdark preview video, fix a launcher window display issue being experienced by some players, and return reincarnations. Remember to use this thread to get the latest information on cake and ticket issues.
Alrik beat me to the punch, I was about to post a warning about the pre-order.
So just to be on the safe side the account team re-checked several accounts from this thread and this does indeed appear to be a display issue. It seems to happen the most for users who had a subscription at some point in their DDO life (VIP, old Stormreach sub, etc.) but it does not apply an upgrade.
