Alganon Updated!

[prfun]

Hey guys,

Alganon patch was released yesterday. You can find the info on what the patch included in the pages of the link below. Additionally, here is a short overview of a roadmap outlining what else the team is working on.

ALGANON

Our short term roadmap (what they are working on now) is below.

(1) Adding more items to our Tribute micro-transaction shop. These include the following which will be available through use of Tributes:

* Add more/new items (e.g. standard & vanity items) to the shop
* Implement a Roulette wheel which you can win Tribute, items etc
* Offer all mounts for sale as permanent mounts
* Ability to purchase fully buffed character outfits
* Offer reset tokens (using Tribute instead of Gold)
* Various packages which can be purchased on weekly or monthly basis
* Ability to modify equipment (e.g. sell dyes for their armor, clothes etc)
* Ability to "skin" mounts (e.g. users may want to have a different skin for their mount to make it look different)

(2) Implement a Consignment House

While the Auction House is for the sale of items, Consignment House is for players to post requests for items to be made or found. This allows players to set up and participate in player-based "item quests" within the Consignment house.

We understand the need to separate crafting from adventuring. Some of you want to stick around town and become the local blacksmith, without being required to go out and hunt for ingots and other materials in some risky adventure. Others of you are the opposite, thriving on pure adventure. With the Consignment system and auction houses available in key areas, you can find and request what you need to continue crafting, without needing to adventure into far-off areas.

* Players can post requests for items to be made or found.
* Balances out material needs for those that may not wish to directly obtain those materials.
* Allows players to setup and participate in player-based "Item Quests" within the Consignment house.
* Gives players who only have a short time to play something to do. It is quick to hop on the Consignment house, pick an order to fill, and craft or gather those items.

(3) Companions

Taming animals and controlling creatures with magic is part of playing specific classes in ALGANON. These companions will grow with their master, protect them, and can even have their look customized.

(4) Add "Heroic" content for level 50+ characters

(5) Add new classes

(6) Implement PvP

(7) Improve the server architecture so that it can handle increased traffic, loads etc

( Continue addressing bug fixes, implementing tweaks etc.
