Game development schedule

[Sarmat]

Is there any information about what next major changes are coming? When?
When steam release will be?

[Silvonis]

We just released a 'snapshot' update on December 29th and typically release an update or two per month. We don't typically post firm timelines, but we do give approximations such as we plan on releasing on Steam Early Access within the next couple months. In addition, it was a milestone to release our new UI prior to moving to Steam and we released that update within the last month - which was a complete redesign of our old UI. You can keep an eye on the forums and social media for updates on coming updates.

The Steam release will happen when they deem that the game is ready to enter Beta.
In the Short term we can expect to see minor changes to the UI including probably some new features.
Major changes that might be near or far are :
Playable Fairy Race
Playable Orc Race
Playable Dwarf Race
Vampires
Mounts
Player Housing
Level Cap Raises
Pet Bees
Fairy Homeland
Dwarf Homeland
Human Capital Zone
Weather System
Weather Witching
Inventory Bags
Jewelry Crafting
More Armour Crafting
More Weapon Crafting


Probably more but that is a few.

Pet Bees

Wait, when, where? Do you happen to have a link or fuzzy memory of where you got that from? I missed that one somehow.

[Sarmat]

and inventory wipe will happen just before steam early access or before game's full release?

I would also want some more character customization options

P.S. and you are doing a nice work, I like the changes which are happening the last year

They are going to add more customization option in beta. The partial wipe doesn't happen till the full release.

It has become an item of fuzzy memory. Not sure were it was, not on the new site. I'm pretty sure. Citan posted an image of a Fae Bee and said it would be the Fairies' pet. I looked all over, even the Wayback Machine and I can't find it. Sorry.

Oh, nifty! If it was on the old forums, it's possible it was posted before I started reading the forums. I was mostly wondering how I'd managed to overlook something as cool as fae bee pets - thanks for trying to find the reference!

This is definitely another reason to look forward to fairies. :)

Has anything actually been discussed about what Weather Witching will be? Personally, I'm excited for the weather system LOL. As dumb as it sounds, the reason I chose Asheron's Call over Everquest was because of the dynamic day/night cycle and that if you saw something on the horizon, you could run to it. I eventually turned off rain in AC, but being able to watch the moons come out at night was great.

Not sure if there is more info, but I found one quote.


... And, of course, when we finally have dynamic weather, we'll be able to introduce the magic known as Weather Witching. These secretive mages live on the outskirts of society. It's very illegal to alter the weather in most countries -- Council Lands included -- and druids often hunt them down for "crimes against nature's balance", but nevertheless, weather witches still exist. They probably manage to survive all that persecution because they can fly on clouds, control lightning, and drop hailstones on their enemies. It's sort of a mixed bag, being a weather witch. ...

Playable fairy race is the thing I'm most hotly anticipating.

I am looking forward to dual wielding daggers myself if I read correctly in the past many skills would have secondary weapons. Some one can correct me if I’m wrong.
