So how are we fixing that?
Basically, we’ve decided to release regular improvements every week, then every month we’ll push something cool to you. Beyond that, we’re focusing the rest of our efforts into making great expansions!
Here’s a bit more detail:
What sorts of things will come out weekly?
These will be things like straight-up feature refinements, holiday events, short adventures, or pretty much anything that doesn’t merit being in the expansion or being a big monthly highlight. But something of this sort comes every week.
What sorts of things will you deliver monthly?
Each month, we’re going to do something interesting and fun, like aging a cool existing dungeon up to end-game levels and itemization, or adding a series of quests for players to find and explore. Maybe even a new zone sweeper or random world event, or that sort of thing. Something new and fun to experience with friends and guildies.
How will this impact the quality of the expansion?
We’re putting a huge emphasis on how important the expansion pack is to you. The feedback on that has been almost universal. “Make Our Expansion Matter.” So that’s what we intend to do.
Is SOE locked into this schedule? Do we mean EVERY week and EVERY month?
Answer: Yes, we mean it. We’re going to work hard to make it happen regularly and dependably.
