Real quickly here, I spoke with Themis for a few minutes today. A few things to mention.
First, the RAID engine is top priority. I was not given an ETA, but I was told it would first be GM initiated while testing bugs, and then slowly it would be less GM and more based on player actions.
Second is the lakelands. I had the opportunity to run around the lakelands a bit and they are absolutely beautiful! Again, no ETA - and the reason I was given was that the rules of swimming are not fully decided yet. However, let me just give you an idea. I stood on a walkway over some water, and I could see the light reflecting on ripples!
I will get a picture of me and Jena, and hopefully her bodyguards to show you guys later. Look on the main Warcry site soon for more updates.
