| Greetings, Denizens of Genesis.                                       |
|                                                                       |
| Changes especially to non-free-to-join guilds are normally shared     |
| only with the guild, but due to the particular sensitivity around     |
| combat targeting, the AoP team felt it was important to practice      |
| extra transparency with this communication.                           |
|                                                                       |
| Following a report of targeting problems with the Priests of          |
| Takhisis' robe, I found the adjective (including gender)              |
| configuration did not work correctly, causing limited targeting       |
| options. After review of all other guilds which conceal features,     |
| the Shadow Union veil also failed to configure gender correctly.      |
| Both guilds are now fixed. It is important to note that both          |
| guilds were always targetable at least by race and name if known,     |
| which is the same level of targeting offered by Rangers and other     |
| guilds under certain conditions, so no one was ever "untouchable"     |
| or even gained extraordinary benefit. There is no evidence that       |
| guild members were aware of these bugs, as they had been attacked     |
| by enemies and were able to attack each other.                        |
|                                                                       |
| Thank you for your patience and understanding as we endeavor to       |
| make quality improvements.                                            |
