Future changes and thoughts... For 1.0.8

[zarkwizard]

Awesome glad to hear it. I tell you one thing you all have nailed down and that is talking and making your players and fans feel that they are important and part of the game. Very few companies can do that and I for one thank you.

Any idea when you expect 1.0.8 to roll out?

There will probably be a couple of updates.. We have 2 things going on. The current server doesn't support some of the bigger changes we want to make, so we are building a new server from the ground up. We have brought in a few people to accelerate the process. It will probably be near the end of August.

Some changes like Combat, and a few other smaller things will be going in over the next month or so. We are still working on tweaking the combat numbers through the simulators trying to make sure we get everything spot on. As soon as we have an official release plan we'll let you guys know.

We are also keeping an eye on feed back from the games that finish to determine if we need to tweak anything else along the way.

Now is the time to give feed back. Since a new server is being designed we want, and need to take big functionality changes in to account while we are in design phase. We are even looking at a way to make a persistent game with a cap on skill points, but that's a future thing.

All of this is part of the reason you don't see us posting a ton. We are trying to read the forums, but we are mainly focused on getting things fixed. We will be setting all players to free mode for now till we get everything completed. So anyone that bought the game won't have to purchase another month, till we feel, and you feel the game is right.
