Gotta Check This Out

I was surfing and found this website where they have a 41 min voice interview with STS about AL. They talk about pets, PvP, release, and free roaming.

The pets they talk about are a dog, turtle, and panther. Also give you the starting bonuses the pets give you too.

They talk about the warrior having two skill trees, one called warlord (dps) and the other guardian (tank). They also said the sorcerer has a heal skill tree.

With free roaming they said you can walk out of the town follow the road and enter a combat zone.

I saved the best for last, the release date. They said STS wants to release it before Thanksgiving.

Here's the link, I suggest you listen to the whole thing I only listed a few things they chatted about.

No prob bud, found this during lunch break. I was riding the 60in mower while listening to it and thinking people will wanna hear this and thanks for listing everything out I'm to lazy for all that.

wow nice keen

I says "full interview here". Just a blank space.

Nice! But thanks giving is in more than a month.. :(.

done, very nice and informative chat..look above for summery.

Good find!

Not that much longer now! "Early to Mid November" - Not long now!


"Before thanksgiving" - Done some research, Thanksgiving in the USA is the 22nd, so it should be around the 10th-22nd?

Can't figure out which dev this is... did anyone hear his name? And thanks for finding this audio. It's filled with juicy tidbits!

Answered some questions... we DO get to choose our first pet (puppy, turtle, or panther) and we can find more along the way.

Ahhh... I have the entire week after Thanksgiving off. I hope I will be leveling my new toons! :)

Look at Ghost's post it sounded like Fernando the head of marketing.
