For the most part, fans seem to be taking the news rather well, with many encouraging the studio to take its time in fixing whatever needs addressing, as well as many being thankful for the transparency.
Thank you for the communication, and take your time. Would rather have you get it done completely than have broken things.

For those who indulge in the world of conspiracy theroies, a recent release of the SoT Update 1.2.5 patch my be part of what the studio needs to address in some fashion with its emergency server shut off.
Earlier today, the SoT studio dropped a rather hefty bug squashing patch that would also bring some much needed inventory tweaks for the game. However, early into its roll out, some players began experiencing bugs.
My athena rank has reset back down to level 4 anyone else have this problem and is this a visual glitch?
