Update on AOS Launch Gift Skill Increases Jul 2 2003 1:16PM CST (GMT -06:00)
We posted in this FYI that it was possible for players to lose out on some skill points if they used the +5 skill increase AOS launch gift while wearing any items that would put that skill too close to its cap. As we've mentioned in previous news items, the problem has been fixed, and we're happy to say that our GMs now have the tools ready to verify who may have run into this problem and restore those skills to their proper level.

You may now call a GM to restore your skill to its proper level if, and only if:
You did not gain the full skill increase because you were wearing an item that put it within 5 points of its cap. (For example, if you used the +5 skill increase to raise your Lockpicking from 95 to 100, but you were wearing a +3 item that gave you 98 Lockpicking, you would have only received a +2 bonus from the skill scroll as opposed to the +5 that you should have received. The GMs can help you with this.)
The skill increase was used before the fix was implemented. GMs will have the ability to see exactly when the skill increase was used, so they can tell if it was used while the problem was still occurring or not. (In other words, please only page if you actually lost out on skill points due to this bug!)
If you fit these criteria (and only if you fit these criteria!), and you would like to have your skill adjusted to take advantage of the full 5 points offered with the skill increase launch gift, please page a GM in-game and include the phrase �AoS skill gift issue� in your page. Please have the item or jewelry you were wearing at the time with you and ready to show to the GM; this will make it easier for our GMs to verify and fix the problem.

Thanks for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the gifts!
