Hey everyone,

We know that many of you are excited to play the new Dragon Enclave expansion that is coming very soon to Arcane Legends. I know that you would like a definitive date and time when it will go live. I would like to apologize that I cannot give you that information.

As I write this post, it is mid-day on Monday, March 10th and here is where we are at.
We're playing through the latest balance changes that were implemented on Friday to see how they feel. There are also a handful of remaining bugs that our testing team have identified that we are smashing. We're also staging all the data from the development branch to the live branch in preparation to go live. There are always merge conflicts that come up with such big moves of data that will invariably result in additional bugs that need smashing. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we have a company playtest scheduled. Everyone here at Spacetime will pile into the expansion and play together. Hopefully everyone will go "Awesome!" and it will go live on Wednesday. Of course, anything that I mentioned (and some that I didn't) could give us cause to hold the release to address an issue. That might mean Thursday instead. We never like to go live on a Friday, since we know from past experience that there will be something we didn't uncover through our internal testing that will need to be addressed. It is best to have that happen when the team is in the office and can react quickly. If something really big comes up, it may slide into next week. At this point, I'd give sliding into next week a pretty low chance, but it's worth mentioning.

To long; didn't read.

When will the expansion go live?

Probably this week and when it is ready.

A few other things I want to mention.

Singe Rescue - Guess When you will Cap
If you haven't already and you want to enter the Great Singe Rescue and have a chance to win a Singe egg, please enter before 9pm CST on March 10th. Here is the link: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...t-Singe-Rescue!!

Elite Zones to Follow the Initial Release
When the expansion goes live, no Elite Zones will be available. Elite Zones will be turned on a couple weeks after the expansion is out. This should give you all some time to level and something to look forward to!


I hope this helps more than it confuses Hit reply and let me know.

As always, thanks for playing Arcane Legends.

Update on 3/11 @ 2:40 PM Central.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to update you with the status of the Dragon Enclave expansion after our company playtest.

I can tell you 100% that the expansion will not be going live on Wednesday, March 12th.

We still have a shot for Thursday, however we did uncover some troubling issues with art assets going over budget that may have bad repercussions for lower end devices. We're proceeding with an additional round of device testing using our lowest end devices to validate those concerns. If that issue is verified, it will likely lead to the expansion pushing out for next week as we likely won't have enough time to address it sufficiently.

That's the haps. I'll keep you posted with more info as it becomes available.
