Update 1/11/16: All, we're still hard at work and on track with our fix. We hope to have a comprehensive update and server downtime notice in the coming day or two. Thanks again for your patience!
Greetings all,
As most of you know, we've had some issues with the housing zones and have had to disable them temporarily. We've been hard at work testing and re-testing our fix and still feel confident that we'll be able to restore/fix the missing and incorrect housing data. However, after testing some more today, we've found some additional issues that need to be accounted for as well. These issues will take most of tomorrow to implement into our fix, which then needs to be tested some more.
We'd be remiss to take the servers down over the weekend with it being the most popular time to play. As such, we plan on waiting until next week to institute our fix. We realize that this is much longer than originally planned and offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this causes. However, in waiting through the weekend, we'll also be spending the extra days figuring out a way to restore the items that were purchased from CMs back to those CMs without requiring affected players to appeal. This should allow everyone to move on from this unfortunate issue much faster and focus on what we all love: playing Dark Age of Camelot!
Finally, we'll be extending the Midwinter Event and RvR bonuses an extra week (at least) and will look at some additional compensation once the matter is fully resolved.
On behalf of myself and the entire team, we want to personally thank everyone for their patience and understanding while we investigate and resolve this matter. We know it's been concerning and an inconvenience to you all but the feedback and encouragement as we work towards a fix has been nothing short of amazing.
My humble thanks,
John Thornhill
Producer

Update4: Thanks again to everyone for their patience as we address this housing issue. After a long night and coffee-filled morning, we are confident that we have a fix for the issues with the housing data that cropped up yesterday. However, due to the delicacy of the data and to be extra careful that we've got everything correct, we're going to spend the remainder of today (and possibly tomorrow) testing and re-testing that this fix is as complete as it can be. As soon as we're comfortable with everything, we'll re-enable the housing regions and push this fix live. We will post the exact server downtime notice once testing has been completed.
This fix should address any missing houses, incorrect plat values on consignment merchants, and most other discrepencies that occured yesterday. For the most part, all housing data will be rolled back to when the server first came up yesterday. However, the houses that had items purchased from their CMs or traded from their vaults *may* still not have those items after this fix has gone live. We'll be doing our best to restore those items pre-emptively, prior to opening the servers, but may require players to file in-game appeals. We should be able to verify and locate any items that have gone missing and restore them, but please bare with us as doing so is a time-consuming and involved process.
Additionally, we've added popular player potions to the Infernal Merchants' <Potion Merchant> NPC outside Castle Sauvage, Druim Ligen, and Svasud Faste. This NPC will allow players to buy omni-regen, omni-healing, water breath, and individual regen and healing potions until the housing issue is resolved. The potions are listed on the 3rd page of the merchant.
We'll have more info on everything after our testing is complete and we once again appreciate your patience and understanding.
Update3 7:50 PM EST: Ywain is up once again with the housing regions disabled. RP bonuses on Ywain have been increased from 25% to 50% as compensation for the inconvenience. These increased bonuses will be up for the remainder of the Midwinter Event. We'll be looking at providing additional compensation for affected players once the matter is resolved. We currently do not have an ETA for when the housing zones will be re-enabled. Thank you again for your patience. See below for additional details.
Update2: Ywain is once again coming back down. The housing regions on Ywain will be disabled and Ywain will be brought back up. Characters logged out in housing should try to login again, twice. Characters should be moved back to their bind point or to their starter town by the 2nd attempt. If for some reason your character is not moved, please file an appeal on another character, listing the affected character name(s) and server(s) so in-game support can move them for you.
The housing zones will be disabled indefinitely until a fix is found. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience this causes you. Realm Point bonuses will be increased from 25% to 50% once Ywain returns.
Update 4:40 PM EST: The Ywain Server is back online!
Update notes:
-
House lot locations and associated consignment merchant inventories and prices have returned to what they were prior to the original downtime today.
-
All housing data has been reverted back to when the servers went down this morning at 5:45 AM EST. This means any purchases from the Market Explorer or consignment merchants, house ownership transfers, decoration changes, or any other changes made to houses that took place after the servers came up earlier this afternoon will be as though they never happened.
-
All other character data was untouched and players should see rp/xp gains made from after the servers came up earlier.
-
Unfortunately, several houses were erroneously flagged to be repossessed after our original downtime today. This should only be for some houses whose owners logged into housing after the original downtime and whose original house location was swapped with an inactive account. In order to fix, simply login the house owner's character to the housing zone. This should remove the condemned sign from the house's door.
-
Please note that after entering the housing zone on the character that owns the house, you may have to relog once more to see the house door return to normal.
-
If you have tried this and your house is still showing as condemned, and your account is not under a free trial and actively subscribed, please file an appeal to in-game support.

Update: Pendragon is now up, check out the 1.119 Notes here or by clicking the image below!
The Pendragon server will be coming down today, Wednesday 11/25/15, at 2PM EST / 7PM GMT for patch 1.119a!
Important Note:
-
We highly suggest separating out your normal game directory from your Pendragon game directory *before* patching and testing on Pendragon.
-
If you do not do this, you *will* experience issues when patching back to live.
-
To force the live client to fix these issues, you will need to delete the mft.myp in your game's directory and run the patcher again.
For those interested in testing on Pendragon, follow the character copy process here!
