A small update has been announced for this week which will prepare the lobbies for their annual change for the new year as well as implement the compensation for the recent rollbacks. For those who may not know, here are the rewards we can expect to see when the servers come back up from maintenance this Friday.
All of these bonuses will be in place until the servers go down for maintenance on January 15, 2009. Please feel free to discuss this update at the forum.
Update: The Japanese 360 site's post-maintenance notes have revealed a few bits of information that have not been released yet by SEGA of America. First, a bug was fixed in which enemies in block 3 of "Scarred Planet" would get stuck behind walls and piles of rubble, making it impossible for them to move. Second, the Parum GBR has been extended by an extra week. Now the event is scheduled to conclude when the servers go down for maintenance on January 15, 2009. Thanks to S-T-H for the tip!
