The hilarious comedian Madeline Kahn passed away on this day in 1999. During the 70s she co-starred in a number of legendary comedies including two of my favorite movies of all time: Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety. From Blazing Saddles to the Muppet Show to Clue, she brought a great singing voice and perfect comic timing to whatever she worked on.
On to the notes!
Slotted Elven Ears will be tradable, vendable
Brownie points are not intended to be vendable, so they will be properly account bound
Working on non-respawning Biolabs map for this week. When the regular monsters are killed, this triggers the MVPs to spawn. When the MVPs are killed, the monsters will respawn. From the feedback from the community it seems like this idea needs to be workshop'd some more.
Working on getting changes for consumable-less pvp test range
From the recent changes I posted about to monster spawn amounts, how are the changes to places like juperos working out so far?
We are planning on having a jump event on Classic for mid-January along with improvements to monster drops and how PVE gear is acquired as a way to help players to recruit new people to pre-renewal. The idea would be to encourage players from Renewal to create accounts and get leveled up on classic, I'm looking for your feedback on whether we should have a "reduced exp to level" stype jump event or one more like what we did with Renewal: Complete quests to jump up to higher levels. Which version do you think would be more effective in getting new people on Classic and where would be the best place them to end up, level wise to participate in WoE, guild play?
Upcoming projects:
12/10 Christmas Quest
12/10 Changes to gear dropped by low level monsters to address issues of gearing up for new players
12/17 Xmas themed challenge dungeon
For the end of the month we will archiving the econ/castle ownership data and having event WoEs for the last weeks of the year so also give suggestions for what you'd like to see!
