Unfortunately H.G. Wells left this earth on this date.

One of his most famous works was War of the Worlds which was broadcast in 1938 by Orson Welles causing widespread panic due to its format as a radio broadcast.

Biggest note to start off the maintenance.
Dead Branches, Poring Boxes, Amulets, Hocus Pocus, Polymorph, and Bloody Dead Branches are being disabled if they weren't already on Prontera Field 8 (South Prontera Field). In April we attempted to relax the restrictions of these items. Unfortunately certain users are going around purposefully killing other users. Due to this ill mannered abuse they will be disabled.
Internal Discussion Raged: Update
Players under level 20 will have access to a save version of South Prontera. Dead Branches, Poring Boxes, Amulets, Hocus Pocus, Polymorph, and Bloody Dead Branches will be disabled on this safe version of the map.
For regular South Prontera field a 5 second cool down on Dead Branchs will be applied. This is to give other users a chance to escape before they have 200 dead branched Yoyos dropped on top of them.
