+      p The Orb of Rebirth, a special item in the <a href='/#/options/inventory/drops'>Market</a>, will now cost 6 Gems instead of 8, and will not remove any Equipment items! It will still be available for free to users of Level 100 and above. If you've used the Orb of Rebirth in the past and would like your Equipment restored, let us know in the <a href='/#/options/groups/guilds/a29da26b-37de-4a71-b0c6-48e72a900dac'>Report a Bug Guild</a> and we'll fix things up for you!
+      br
+      p We've made this change in response to feedback suggesting Rebirth could be improved. Previously, Rebirth made the Rewards list too long and re-earning the gold to recover all the equipment was daunting, particularly when it came to seasonal Grand Gala gear. We hope this modification works to alleviate these concerns and that Rebirth is a feature that continues to motivate everyone.
+      br
+      p For those who do want to release and buy back all their Equipment, we are developing a separate feature, tentatively titled "Empty the Armory." Stay tuned!
