URGENT RELEASE: All Broadcast Media

Global Reporting Bulletin:

In an alarming turn of events surrounding the ‘Legends Lock-In’ case, a shocking twenty-six players went into a vegetative state Saturday at approximately 7:30 PM EST.

Although none of the players appeared to know each other, all occurred in the same broad time-zone, indicating that they were playing, at least, in the same area of the game.

It is assumed that these 26 casualties were involved in a singular in-game event, such as a battle, raid, or similar event.

So far, there is no known cure for the Legends Lock-In situation and attempts to unplug players result in similarly devastating effects to the individual. At present, approximately one thousand players globally are now considered ‘consciously deceased’ although efforts continue to restore brain function.

Tir’Nan’Og, the super-server responsible for Legends of the Six Realms, continues to work with authorities to create a solution.
