Also for those who play Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution, it is to my assumption that all the limited time quests that were put up for E.U. Episode III players to enjoy will be taken again at this time. They are only available until June 22nd 2004, so it'd make sense for Sonic Team to take these down during this time.

The quests to be removed are basically the ones listed in this thread.
