Patch notes say something about Clan Leaders not being able to retrieve something from their castle warehouse.
I'm lazy and I don't want to go back there to read it again.
Yeah, I saw that after I posted. Here it is:

We will be bringing down all Lineage II servers on Friday, January 11 at 5:20 PM Central Time (12:00 AM GMT+1) for a brief maintenance. We expect the downtime to last 30 minutes. The following changes will be made during this maintenance:

* An issue that was resulting in Clan Leaders not being able to retrieve Blood Alliances from the Castle Warehouse Keepers has been fixed.
And I agree with Artie. This doesn't matter. Should have waited until Tuesday.
The Blood Alliances (or whatever they are called) are earned each time you defend a castle, and you could theoretically get them each siege period since CT1 went live. But the bug prevented castle owners from getting them. So some clans are "due" several items now - and if they get sieged this weekend and lose their castles, they will never be able to get them again. So I have to agree that it WAS a pretty important fix this time. Getting one Blood Alliance item means you have to defend a castle, which means holding a castle at least two siege periods if you just got it, or 6 siege periods total (3 months) for all the items needed to lvl up the clan. So losing a few siege periods since the start of CT1 definitely hurts a bit, simply due to the time lost. I would be quite angry if I was a clan leader holding a castle for a long time now, lost the castle this weekend and next Tuesday they would put in this bugfix.
