Shroud Temporarily Closed
The Shroud raid has been temporarily closed due to widespread griefing of players by other players using a game exploit, and it has become broad, impacting too many users’ game play. The issue will be fixed and the quest will be reopened in the next game patch.

Wonder what the issue is, I've never heard any griefing, but then again I don't exploit.
Gonna make a LOT of people vacate the game I would imagine, fortunately the next patch is next week.

Good thing you're fixing it somewhat promptly.
Though out of curiosity, what day is the next patch scheduled for? |

Thank you for stopping the exploiting, too bad the people running it legit can't continue to do so (Glad I got a run in late last night). As an alternative, re-open it and simply remove every single piece of raid loot and greensteel from any character who uses the exploit as a disciplinary action? THAT should stop the exploiting death on it's tracks.

Wow.. I can't believe it. I heard some mention of an exploit the other day, but my regular shroud group and I have no intention of doing or using any exploit. Our shroud speeds is a fixture for alot of our week. Without the shroud - ddo becomes less appealing. I checked out the new stuff, but the grind there (unlike the shroud) isn't worth it in my opinion (alot of my friends share the same opinion) and nearly all my characters have the vod/hound gear (just one new characters doesn't) which is also true of alot of my friends) so what are we/I supposed to do. I guess it will be only down for 5 days or so and then back up, but in the meantime pretty weaksauce. I also just leveled up 2 characters in the past month and don't want to level up another for awhile.

Well I guess that really answers the questions that some had posed about various activities in the shroud and how the Devs viewed them!
Too bad those responsible for the griefing could not be singled out...

The new puzzle
New puzzle was up then down in blazing speed. I can only imagine this is all in jest. If the Shroud were closed for even a week, Festivult patch coming next Tuesday/Wednesday, people would totally flip out.

I don't run the shroud much but I'm glad you are doing something about whatever it is people were complaining about.

My bad
Since this appears to be sincere and I am bored out of my tree with the only thing keeping me here is grinding larges, I may finally have to look elsewhere for my entertainment dollar.
It is a shame that others, especially the ******s of the world, manage to get us the dry hump and ruin everyone's entertainment
