Asherons Call: Frelorn's Weekly Update

Today's another edition of Frelorn's FAQs, with the titular Dev talks about high level hunting areas, answers a question about allegiance changes, and horribly misnames a popular Dereth dungeon (it's "Subway", not "Hub", kthxbye):

[i]Weekly Update 3/28/06
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there everyone. We hope you all had a pleasant weekend. Let's get right into things, shall we?

This week the team is putting the final touches on the content for the April event. This means after doing a lot of testing they will be going back and making any final adjustments to the content, including difficulty and rewards. They will also take this time to discuss what changes they would like to make, and get the feedback from the rest of the team. We are also in the stage where we will begin to talk about the content for May. We will meet and begin discussing where the story is going next and start passing ideas around for the May event.

So let's get on to answering a couple of questions.

Months ago you said there was going to more high level hunting areas, what happened to those plans?
Those plans have not really changed; they were just delayed a bit. Once we started working on things we found we were able to make some other changes to the game we felt were a better use of the team's time. Things like the PvP changes and some of the User Interface changes we were able to make, not to mention the continuance of the story arc.

Will we ever see hub/subway recalls?
In my short time here I have learned to never, say never. That being said, the general feeling right now is that travel around Dereth is already pretty easy, so there is no need to make it even easier. A few years ago when it was still very difficult to get around this may have been a more viable things to do, but with the number of portals and recalls we already have, we don't feel that another recall is needed right now.

Will the tiered allegiance officers EVER be put ingame? If not, can we at least have a couple of allegiance speakers back (along with the two officers we are now allowed)?
We are in the discussion stage right now for the allegiance improvements. They won't be coming for the April event, but I would not be surprised to see improvements like this in the May event. No promises, since May is still a bit away, but I would not be surprised.

That's about it for this week. As always, see you in Dereth!
