Producer's Note: On Love Crafting and Public Testing

[productor]

Hello Folks,
A huge thank you from me to all of you who participated in our the public test of our latest client and Love Craft event!

We were able to test some broad changes to this new client, the event, the new Guild Message of the Day feature, and sort out some backend issues regarding the consignment shop. While the consignment shop did not come up during testing, it did reveal to us several issues to fix before we go live. Furthering that, we have a large patch coming up that redistributes art asset data. This effort opens the door for us to look into optimization work previously unavailable to us.

These types of broad changes can be risky. Whenever possible, we aim to publicly test risky changes in a safe and public testing environment as we endeavor to provide the highest quality product to this awesome community!

We have heard questions about when our Love Crafting event will be live. With some known risks of an event depending on a client, we decided to do several weeks of player love events. We started with Doubling XP and Offers, we’ve got a new event this weekend and thereafter we’ll release the new client and begin the Love Crafting event! We hope you enjoy these events, and as always I invite you to continue the conversation.

Coming up soon:

• New Event this Weekend!: Continuing our player love series of events, for a limited time only defeated bosses have a chance to drop Ankhs. More about this event in Remiem's Weekly Update.
  
• New Patch: Coming soon, a redistribution of art asset data to open up new optimization opportunities on our live server.
  
• New Client: Coming soon, Guild Message of the Day and a series of fixes on our live server.
• Love Crafting Event: Soon after the new client, we'll all be able to craft and use love elixirs to open up a surprise for everyone!

Much Obliged,
Adrian "Productor" Glover

P.S. Love Crafting is a pretty important event to us in regard to this year’s roll out of content, particularly when it comes to the next expansion. We’re planning something never before seen in Arlor, built upon some of the systems in the event. I can’t wait to see what we’re going to discover together!
