- We added a few more rankings to the homepage and fixed the existing ones;
- Important events are now being broadcast onto the web page;
- Account management system got a much needed overhaul;
- The “Prisms” feature had quite a few iterative improvements made to it;
- The Support Ticket system is back online, game forums are operational and Help-Online is available.
By no means this concludes our plans for improving the game, though! There are some features coming up we’d like to share with you:
- New type of in-game entertainment – “Challenges”;
- New innate Dwarf ability – “Spiked Armor”;
- Auto Drink feature: HP and MP thresholds lowered;
- New familiars: mounts and transport;
- Profession level milestones will cease to be simple presents and instead will be achievements with tangible achievement point rewards;
- It is going to be possible to browse characters’ achievements via web site;
- Brand new types of achievements becoming available;
- New client application revision to be focused on your suggestions and feedback;
- Each and every in-game quest to have its translation improved.
- This is nowhere near the full list of changes, just a small teaser of what’s to come. We are dedicated to bring the best experience to our players and will do so tirelessly.
Sincerely,
Administration,
Dark Swords
