Currently, there are no plans for any kind of character migration. However, we will be temporarily storing all character information, and if there is any change in that plan we be sure to let all players know by email. As for the Wind Slayer store, it will be closing shortly.

Additional details on the compensation package and other information, including redemption codes, will be sent via email by August 3, 2011. Please make sure you are receiving official emails from Outspark. You can update or change your email address at http://outspark.com/profile/account
