2016 Q1 Producer's Letter

[Justg]

Howdy folks, and Happy New Year!

2015 was a very exciting year for us, and I can’t wait to show you what we have on tap for the first part of 2016.

Lots of goodies coming down the pipe, some of the major beats include:

• Some strange type of Arcane creature has been sighted. I can neither confirm nor deny its existence, but I would expect things to become much clearer soon.
• We also have a new set of Arcane Weapons that will be introduced. These unique weapons were alluded to in the Winter Event, and are about to see the light of Arlor’s day.
• The Lovecrafting event will return in February, with a couple of twists including a very rare, craftable Arcane Backpack.
• Client 1.5 will release soon afterwards. This will be our biggest client release ever, with a ton of interesting tweaks/ fixes/ features such as:

- Skill Mastery that will allow you to further expand and customize your characters.
- A new type of item rarity: Set items!
- UI improvements that will better allow players to see just what could be inside those locked crates.
- Inventory improvements to address limited inventory space problems.
- A system to make Locked Crates more accessible to all players, even those without Plat.

We also have a huge expansion in the works. I’ll save some of the surprises for later on, but here are a few concepts to let you know what we are thinking about:







Now the caveats: As you all know, plans change. It is always a delicate balance between letting you know what we are working on (which set expectations) and what we release when the time comes (which is affected by a ton of extraneous factors). These are our PLANS. We will do our best to deliver them in a timely fashion. But things may change, so please take all of this with a grain of salt.

Finally, I know some of you would like some behind-the-scenes intel on our super-secret Spacetime HQ. We’ve moved into a new space that comfortably houses us and gives us plenty of room to spread out. The best part about our new office is how we all get to work in one large collaborative environment.







As always, thanks so much for the fantastic feedback we receive here. We are extremely grateful for each and every one of you.

Thanks, and have a rocking 2016!

Best,
