Asherons Call: Frelorn's Weekly Update

May event preludes, allegiance improvement details, and (believe it or not) more talk of CD keys. Frelorn speaks on all of these:

[i]Weekly Update 4/24/06
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there everyone. Let's get right into this weeks update.

I wanted to start this week with an update on the CD Keys/Digital Distribution situation. Let me reiterate that we want these keys out as fast as we can get them out. After much internal debate over the last week or so (office speak for a lot of meetings) the issue has been placed at the top of the priority list. This means that alot sooner rather than later this issue will be fixed. This time I will not give an ETA, but I will say that my confidence that this issue is going to get resolved quickly is very high. This is the way I like to start off my week, things are getting done.

Now lets move on to some other things that are happening this week in Asheron's Call.

The live events have been continuing on schedule. We have been reading your feedback and doing some adjustments on the fly. Overall the feedback on these events has been positive, and it seems we have a lot of players choosing sides, and taking their choices very seriously. Look for these events to continue and evolve as time goes on. We are already planning some more fun events for the future.

This week the team is busily working on the content for the May event. We are already at the point where most of the content has been loaded on our internal test world, and the team is now working on getting things to where they want them to be. This includes creature balance, NPC/Dungeon locations, lore details and more. This is what we consider one of the busier weeks in the development cycle.

Finally, we want to let you know that next week we will be posting a much more detailed description of the upcoming Allegiance Improvements that were hinted at in the last Letter to the Players. Our goal with these changes is to make the experience of being in an allegiance, a more memorable one. Monarchs, do you want to give more power to your allegiance officers? Done. Want to give your Monarchy its own unique name? Done. Those features are just a hint at what is coming for allegiances in the May event. We will have more for you next week.

That's about it for now. Everyone have a great day and see you all in Dereth!
