Hello there and welcome to the January 15th edition of the weekly update!

As most of you know by now, Tuesday January 16th is patch day. So remember that all worlds will be down from 8am EST – 3pm EST for the update.

Crowley, who has been on vacation, sort of, will be attending an Asheron’s Call dinner for all those located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest on the 19th of this month. If you can go, make sure you harass him as much as possible.

During the last week, we have been having a lot of discussions about storylines and what we want to happen in the coming months. The feedback we have gotten from last week’s update has been great to read. We would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to give us that feedback. Our goal is as always to provide our players with the best content and stories that we possibly can. Getting the feedback we have so far is going to be a good way for us to make sure we deliver on that goal. So, thanks again for the great feedback.

With the January event being all set to go this week, the team has shifted gears to getting things done for the February event. This means getting things documented, implemented on our internal servers and getting into balancing things. I know it’s still early, but from what I have seen so far, February is already looking like it is going to be a fun month.

At this point there is not much else going on right now, so I will take this opportunity to answer a couple of questions that are looking at us from the front page of the forums.

Is it possible to change my characters to another server?
At this time it is not possible. Not too long ago we had a very serious internal discussion about being able to do this as a service to our customers. After some research we found that without a lot of back end work on the game code and how information is stored of the server, this process would be very difficult to do on a large scale. Hopefully with some of the changes we would like to make over the coming year, this will become a possibility, but as of right now, this is something we just cannot do.

New sounds?
We would love to add some new sounds to the game. Right now the team has other priorities as far as what is getting done, but I would not rule out some new sounds at some point. As far as the weather stuff that came along with this question, we can certainly inquire about putting it back in with a toggle of some sort. Though I know that Severlin already has a ton on his plate right now, but what’s one more thing?

Rares
As someone in the thread on this topic already said, they are called Rares for a reason. The higher tier rares were never meant to be found by everyone, while the lower tiers were meant to be a bit more common. With that in mind we have been discussing the system as a whole and the possibility of turning up some of the rates on the different tiers of rares. When we have more information about what, if any changes we are going make to the system, we will make sure to let everyone know.

Well that’s about it for now. Everyone have a great week and see you in Dereth!

Oh yea, one more thing before we forget…

GO PATS!!! (Sorry had to do it.)
