Wow.

*Blows the dust off the Design Notes*

I guess it's been a while since we posted anything. Sorry about that. Things have been a little nuts around here. Still working on this week's release... the next chapter of the Doomwood: Necropolis zone. You and Artix start by tossing monkey wrenches into Necromancy University's Build-A-Beast Workshop (where you will get a chance to spawn your own randomly created monstrosity!).

Geo is also working on a special quest for Valencia. Hope you're good at puzzles.

One of the reasons that things have been so crazy this week was that we were interviwewed over the phone for a weekly gaming podcast. By we I mean Artix, Galanoth, Warlic, Safiria, and myself. Some other people were in the room but decided to stay all quiet. *glares at Rolith*. It hasn't been released but as soon as it is (and I like the way we sound) I'll link you guys to it.

Some of you have noticed that Ballyhoo has returned to town. I know that 50 free gold isn't a great reward for you rich-as-anything level 40 players, but there are a lot of lower level players who think gold is too hard to come by, and who would complain about free gold? We thought we would give them a hand.

Rolith is waving his arms in the air and telling me to let you all know that the necromancer class armor will NOT be coming out this weekend.

I've got a lot more work to do on this week's quest so off I go back into my TMBG, Coulton, SweetAfton23, Regina Spektor, Katy Perry, Sabbath, Cake and Random Other Stuff work coma!

Espionage
Get ready for a secret espionage mission! Admiral Pureheart wants to find out more about the Shadowscythe's plans. So, you will need to sneak into a base, hack into their computers, download vital information and then escape!

Citizen Patrols
New patrol missions are opening up in Soluna city. The outskirts of Soluna were hit pretty badly in the last war. Some Shadowscythe units are still out there. Help clean up the warzone!

Mecha Pricedrop
Get ready! There is about to be a huge mecha price adjustment! This will greatly impact the pricing of lower level mecha models. Credit prices are being re-adjusted to make them more readily accessible to all players Nova gem prices will remain the same.

Wow! What an awesome week for mechquest! We sped away as a giant mech was trying to crush us! We took down an entire enemy controlled Battlecruiser! Now, we have new energy blades to completely pwn our opponents! All I have to to say is:

"Red Wizard needs food badly!!!!!!!"

Now it's time to dance!

Is it just me or does this guy seem a little sketchy?

Anyway, This brings our week to a close. Be sure to grab the mechas at the war camps while they last! Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the next war to get them... and yes, both models are very powerful!

The release is mostly live!

For those of you who forgot, let me remind you.

THIS WEEK:
* The Falconreach Bank with 5 free item slots for DA holders, and up to 30 buyable slots! (LIVE)
* Continued DeathKnight final balance testing (still live)
* Continued Paladin class armor testing (ditto)
* 5 Brand New levels to the Lymcrest Labyrith (Not Live, yet but it will be by tomorrow morning!)
* 9 Brand New weapons in Cysero's Superstore of Savings! (LIVE and pretty!)
* A new Necropolis Side quest featuring the Doomcrawler! (UNDEAD! (live))
* 3 Brand new helms dropping from the new Doomcrawler quest! (LIVE! and all 3 helms are for any player!)

We tested our brains out to make sure there were absolutely NO cracks in the bank code. We are 100% certain that your items are safe in there! That really saying something for a game as bug prone as ours... but we wouldn't have released something THAT important without being VERY VERY VERY sure!

I spent a few hours putting my valuables in there and trying to get them to erase themselves from existance. I tried HARD. The Bank is safe as a... well, as a bank I guess.

Rolith is working on the Labyrinth floors right now, they floors work fine but he's working on a few methods to make creating them faster for us. He assures me that they will be released tonight sometime.

The 9 new weapons in my shop are some of my favorites that I've ever made, but that is one weaponsmith's opinion. They're really pretty creepy.

I will also mention that the Sandsea Inn is also live. I will ALSO also mention that there is nothing to do there but walk around and talk to people. I like people and I like talking, so I count it as part of the release.

Have a good weekend guys!
