Times between Expansion Caps

[DocDoBig]

For all the curious and data fanatics among you,
I thought it would be a good idea to gather up all the release dates for each expansion cap and to calculate the period between each of them to the next one,
so yeah, with this thread I wanted to show and share how much time between the expansions (caps) was used or needed to develop them.
I will count in Months and Days:

Times between Expansion Caps

Cap #1	Cap #2	Time
AL's Release* (11.02.2012) >	The Dead City (12.19.2012)	1 Month & 17 Days
The Dead City (12.19.2012) >	The Kraken Isles (02.21.2013)	2 Months & 2 Days
The Kraken Isles (02.21.2013) >	The Battle for Nordr (04.19.2013)	1 Month & 29 Days
The Battle for Nordr (04.19.2013) >	Realm of Shadows: Shuyal (08.29.13)	4 Months & 10 Days
Realm of Shadows: Shuyal (08.29.13) >	The Dragon Enclave (03.13.14)	6 Months & 13 Days
The Dragon Enclave (03.13.14) >	Today (04.05.14)	3 Weeks & 2 Days

*This is the date of the limited release in Canada and Australia,
since there were Content Updates on the same day - means the development started then


And here a little diagram:




The Average Time an Expansion needs to be developed is 87 days (2 Months, 4 days).

The Median is 61 Days (2 Months, 1 day).

Yep AL needed a expansion after its release hence the dead city coming out around 40 days after.

Nice job Doc, I don't retain the smart nor time to come up with something like that.

Thank you ,

Yes i think it was a good moment to make these threads, let me quote what Battegrinder wrote:

Exactly. I'm getting tired of all the "STS only cares about AL these days" posts. Maybe these 4 threads will calm some of that down.

[Alhuntrazeck]

The beta was open to anyone in Australia and Canada through google play store on android. I know that people... did find other ways to play during this time but I don't think that there was any beta that I knew of only open to AoAs and GoAs.

Time to update this.

So we're probably going to hear of a new expansion soon.
Better get capping.

maybe yes or maybe not , with the new updates this week , like the shuyal arena , they need to profit first on that , before releasing the next expansion XD
but maybe im wrong reading at their marketing strategy

The Devs usually announce a new expansion two or three weeks before.

[matanofx]

why does it feel like nordr has been going on for atleast 2 months?

i remember things that happened in the beginning of nordr expansion and it feels like ages ago

Lol, I remember the release of Dead City like it was yesterday.

Btw, will update this at the beginning of every month.

No not really, but there were huge events and the new arena - don't forget these. ^^

[DocDoBig]

Updated this in advance for tomorrow.

2 Months & 12 Days to record since the release of Nordr.

[DocDoBig]

Time to update this, my apologies for the delay.

14 weeks to records since the release of Nordr!

STS usually does new expansions in their games every 4-6 months. However, when they first released Arcane Legends, they said they would release the first 4 expansions very quick so that the game would have more content to keep players from getting too bored, but that after those initial expansions they would move to a more regular schedule. So I would expect an expansion every 4-6 months from here on forward.
