"It has been brought to our attention that some free players who used to be members have had their essence converted into pure essence which they now can't use. Don't worry, we are aware of this and are working to fix it. In next week's update we will make it so that whilst free players can't mine any more pure essence they can however still use/trade any which was automatically converted. If you haven't already read it, then please see the previous news post entitled Rune Essence adjustment for more details on the Rune Essence changes." I am a little confussed about this update ... it is not clear if you can still buy ess from free players then log into a members world and have it already converted into pure ess on a regular basis ... if so I have nothing to worry about and this update wont ruin my business with my friends in the free worlds :?:
