Hi there everyone. I hope that everybody had a great weekend.

Let’s get right into this week’s update.

This week we are doing the final run-throughs for the March update. We are making sure quest difficulties are where we want them and fixing any issues that may have come up in testing. We also have begun the process of ramping up the content for the April event. Doing quest write-ups, making sure the mechanics of the game allow us to do what we want to, throwing ideas back and forth and brainstorming the things we want to do. This tends to be some of the most fun we have. Throwing ideas at each other, which sometimes leads to some of the silliest ideas you might ever hear. I won’t get into details about some of these ideas, but let’s just say you would all be glad they end at being ideas, and don’t actually make it into the game.

Normally in these updates I would be giving you some information about what is coming in the next update, which in case you were wondering is on Wednesday March 15th, and is named Down Twisting Paths. Instead of giving you more information about what is coming in the March event, I thought we could do something different. I want to know what the one thing in AC stands out the most to you as a player. What is that one quest, that one piece of content that makes you sit back and think what a great idea this was?

I have 2 motives for this question, the first being that we can take the feedback from this and use it to help us make things you all feel are more fun. The other motive for this question is to help break up a lot of the negativity that has been floating in the air lately. What better way to do that than to list your favorite thing about Asheron’s Call. When you think of all the fun you have had playing, what is the first thing that stands out in your mind? I know for me it has to be doing the Sword of Lost Light quest for the first time. I can remember my future wife yelling at me to go to bed as it was well past 1am on a weekday, and I had to be to work at 6am. If I recall right, I didn’t actually make it to bed that night, though I did get my sword.

That’s about it. The LttP is going to be out on this upcoming Friday, the 10th. We will as always keep you informed if there are any changes to this schedule. Everyone have a great day!
