    Yup. I'd almost say delay until the map is done. You can't have new player experience without a good map. May felt kind of rushed to me in any case, but I'm sure there are reasons for it.

    There are some skills being reworked for the patch as well as
    These things are on our minds as well. Not a frog statue specifically, though don't rule it out, but "fluff" ideas in general. Easy peasy :D

    I giggled a little when I read "daily updates on facebook"

    Maybe we just need a page-sort hack and get Darkfall some free advertisements every time someone types in the Keywords.

    You could make kitty ears too, I think the bunny ears might get old if they are not bouncy!

    What is the Nithron shop going to even have in it by launch? A pair of sunglasses and tickets for a month of sub time? We have hardly heard anything about it.

    do you mean the overhead map? or the world as a whole? the world is fine to me as is, especially if they have the champ spawns in and the wilderness portals everywhere with these next couple patches. though, in the 1st year of launch, i'd like to see stuff like new dungeons, and a more dynamic world...meaning wilderness structures like boxes and crates that open wiht a random chance for item spawn inside, and doors on broke castles, houses etc opening for exploration and more random things spawning but in a less random manner (like farms in uo maybe).

    and graphics update, and overhead map within year 1

    I like what i'm reading. Hope you all can deliver when the time comes :p it's been one hell of a ride ever since acquiring the license.

    I'd make those facebook updates weekly though imo. Daily can leave pretty little to show off.

    There's basically going to be two separate components. The ability to generate some trial keys linked to your account and also the ability to distribute your referral url. You'll then be rewarded for any sales from users of these. You'll then get a summary on your account page of how many referred users you have and if their accounts are active.


    --- Post updated ---
    Server is getting an upgrade shortly. Finalizing vendors and contracts. We should have some ip's for testing in the next few days.

    Personally I don't think I'll enjoy df roa. Too many changes to the core feel of the original game instead of adding end game content and sandbox content. But I do think both roa and dnd is doing a good job with the ui and new player experience issues.

    One of my clannies commented, is roa the new dfuw? I said yeah pretty much not sure why they didn't just get dfuw license would have saved hella time.

    As for dnd I don't think I'll like their mortal online 2.0 version either and a server in Europe haha.

    I think my only hope is the df emulator in ten years.

    They are just injecting a lot of ideas into roa from dfuw. I don't think it's all kasmos fault. I think a lot of roa team didn't play dfuw and so they come up with ideas which they think are new but dfuw already did and tried and failed at. Kinda like the South Park episode "simpsons already did it".

    To be fair half of our community liked dfuw so that's where the roa team gets most of their positive energy from for changes like these.

    Which is fine. I just hope they succeed at marketing where dfuw failed.

    I'll play the first few months but like most people I'll probably switch to bannerlord.

    What core changes is RoA doing that are similar to DFUW? I'm missing something here...

    Cool another "update" about future updates. The more time that passes without any serious patches or content makes me seriously question if I will be investing any time into this game.
