If you were on yesterday you may have noticed the resource nodes were down. This was due to the new item restructuring going on behind-the-scenes. Under the new system, items can now have multiple conditions and are manipulatable. This means you can expect to see some more interesting tools and equipment to be released sooner or later. Items can accept per-user modifications now, meaning an item upgrade shop may be opening business around town square park later this week 
Due to the drastic changes in equipment, all equipment had to be unequip again. Please remember to re-equip your gear. A system feature has been implemented to prevent you from needing to do this again in future updates.
Good Stuff!
