Tournament of Blades starts as soon as the auction ends!

Just a PSA for our EU players whose clocks changed a few days ago. The clocks have now also changed (mostly) in the US and EU is back to being an additional hour out from Server Time!

Please check at the bottom of the homepage website to be sure of your time difference from Server.

[Barsook]

Just a reminder, there is a Salarri Commoners auction at 5 PM ET in the Salarr pavilion!

[Barsook]

It's starting in a few minutes!

[Narf]
