Preview | 9/6/17 | Ursoth Cooldown, 2x Dragkins, new Heroic pets, AL Roadmap

[Justg]

Hey folks!

This week:

Ursoth will end tomorrow, as close to precisely 1:30 PM CT as we can get It will then enter a 1-week cooldown.

We'll also be dropping 2x Dragkin Teeth, so all you aspiring dentists stock up!

This week Boris, Foxy, Sentinel, and Violet get their Heroic Evolution. Available this weekend in instant-open massive twilights:

Coming Up for AL:

Lots of rumors circulating about us working on a new game, and how that may affect AL. We'll have a lot more information in the future, but it is true, we have been working on a new game.

I wanted to get in front of any speculation that the sky is falling. PL, SL, DL, and especially AL will remain active. We are not shutting any of these games down. I will say this is very unusual for a game company, most will sunset their old games as they release new ones. If you are unsure of this please check out how many MMOs were sunset in 2016.

We are a small, independent studio and our Legends games are a labor of love. For us to keep these small hard-core games going with new content and game systems we need to grow our business and our customer-base. To that end we are building a new game - a brand new type of game - one that's largely single-player, light, casual, driven by collection mechanics and social interaction as opposed to farming and trading... one that does not compete with our previous titles. This new game's business purpose is to bring more resources into the studio so we can put more into the games that we've given our hearts to! And, mostly for personal reasons, to continue our stewardship of some of the longest-running MMO games in history.

We'll have a lot more information coming up, but for now rest assured that our existing games will continue to run, and our intention is to keep making new content for AL to entertain and delight you.

Our new game may not be for all of you (it is casual, after all). But it's success will certainly benefit all of our old games as well.

TLDR:

Our new game will be more of a casual experience, and it will not replace our hard-core MMOs.

Arcane Legends will continue to have regular updates, including events for Harvest, Halloween and Winter in 2017. We're planning on the biggest expansion Arcane Legends has ever seen early next year. We'll keep the weekly updates coming too.

We appreciate your enthusiasm, loyalty, and passion for our existing games, and we hope you like our new one too.

While we are talking AL roadmap, what do you want to see with AL? What new Game-wide systems that take the traditions of questing etc. could we implement to make the game better for the free player?

Thanks!
