Mayor Jane Derren's San Paro First Ever Open Conflict Easter Egg Hunt 2015

Hello Citizens,

Wanted to provide an update on where we are at this week.

After reviewing our options, we have decided to remove the TROUBLEMAKER from the ARMAS store later this week.

The plan is to give it a proper review and balanced the weapon accordingly, once the weapon has been balanced we will announce its return to the ARMAS store.

Those that have purchased the TROUBLEMAKER will still be able to utilize it in game.

The other topic is the Easter Event for this year. Much like with the Halloween Event last year, I felt that we needed just a few issues addressed in order to provide the best experience possible. We were planning to release the event on Wednesday but instead will be releasing it on the Thursday (at the usual maintenance time 9 AM UTC).

That one extra day will allow us to be confident with what was created and to properly review the final changes prior to release.
