Time for me to share some more insider information with you, fresh from the ITS. As you are no doubt aware the update is by now up and running on the ITS, and we’ve managed to have a quick run through most of the new content.

One thing that you should be aware of as well is the fact that what we are doing right now is testing for bugs. We go over ever single element in the update notes we receive from ESTsoft, we repeat actions over and over again trying to make things break...

It seems as if I have underestimated some of the passion that people have for the game (as well as their ability to make broad, sweeping judgements based on… a first impressions blog? ) Relax guys, all is not final yet and there is plenty to be discussed and debated still. So while I did plan on making this about the Siena part, we start somewhere else.

Let’s revisit yesterday’s post, where I discussed some of the theory we have constructed around the Soul Ability....

In this morning's blog update I will take a closer look at some of the new features surrounding the guild levels and the guild warehouse. I know the dungeons are more fun but we will get there in due time. I will discuss the guild levels, the guild warehouse, and some minor improvements and additions to the way information is displayed in the guild menu. I will borrow some information from the developers' notes - rest assured that they will be made available as soon as [GM]Reeves finishes with...

Today I thought we could take a look at some more minor changes coming with the next update, in a short blog update. Before we get to that I can say that the testing process is going well right now. We found a bug that caused our testing to be delayed rather more than we had hoped, but ESTsoft came through with a fix for the issue yesterday. So on that front I can assure you that we are working as fast as we can to get this update to the live server as soon as possible.
