Hi there and welcome to the January 29th edition of the weekly update!

The scheduled live events have begun taking place, and the turnout for these events has been great so far. It is always good to see the players together in large groups. So far it seems that everyone has been enjoying the events, and participating in any way they can.

This week the team is very busy getting all the quests for February on to our internal servers for testing and balancing. This is the time in development when all the kinks and bugs are worked out. Feedback from the team is then given to the person working on the content and adjustments are made.

The team has also started working on things for the March event. We had our first meetings to discuss the plans for March and beyond. We are now at the point where the team will be starting to work out the mechanics of the content they want to add for the month of March. We will then a have a few more meeting to discuss plans and direction of content.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out one of the best threads I have seen in some time on this forum. What makes the thread so great is the back and forth between the team and the players. It is this type of communication and the back and forth dialog that makes this community so great. Please feel free to check it out. http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=32710

The free trial and our advertising have been going very well so far, and we are not done yet. We will be running another ad in an upcoming issue of Massive Magazine. Our goal is to attract people who enjoy the MMO experience. Asheron’s Call can be one of the most exciting engaging games out there, and the more players we can bring to Dereth, the better that experience will be. We are very excited about what 2007 has in store for us. With new features and quests coming every month, there has never been a better time to get in to the action.

Last but not least… For the last several weeks I have gently prodding Crowley to write us up a 2007 edition of the Producer’s Letter. Well, it seems like all that begging finally worked, and Crowley is now in the process of writing it up. I can’t give you an exact date of when it will be published, but it will be soon.

That’s it for now. Everyone have a great week and see you all in Dereth!
