UPDATE: New Level Up System, and Final Free Restat

[Mooncalf]

In less than an hour, all characters will be given a free (forced) restat. So if you log in and find your character at level 1, don't panic, because you'll just be able to restat back up to where you were again. This will be the final free restat before beta ends.

The level up system has changed now, so that you distribute points instead of going up one level at a time. This makes restatting much faster, and gives you more control over where you points go each time you level up. However, there are few important things to note:

* There are now stat and skill points to distribute each time you level up. Levelling your stats to 20, or your skills to 10 only costs 1 point per increase. After that, however, it costs 2 points each time to increase your stat or skill. You get 2 skill points and 2 stat points per level up. This works out almost exactly the same mathematically speaking, so it's not really hard to get used to.

* There's sometimes a slight delay after clicking the + or - buttons on the level up screen when distributing your new stat points. This is due to server lag, but most of the time it should work immediately.

* You can no longer use the old trick to bump your stats 2 points from 19 to 21 (or 9 to 11) as you could before. This is because it was unfair to characters whose stats started on an even number, as they were unable to do this. You might find you've lost a few stat points due to this update, and as such we're giving 1 free level up. But beyond that, this is just how the game was supposed to work from the start. The same applies for skill points.
