Awesome news about how the engine is still moving forwards.

Aye, that's been one of my main gripes about it. A new engine with old art just isn't going to have the intended effect of pulling new players in. So if this has changed it's a definite plus in my book.

Sounds like you're making great progress on the engine. Can't wait to take another peek at it

Only thing I was missing was some info on the progress of the balance changes. Still working on nanos I presume?

While work is being done to fix meshes for shoulder pads, you think it can be looked into fixing the alignment on them. Some pads still do not align right to certain breeds.

**Daspoon** · Dec 18th, 2009, 21:08:05

That was quite an enjoyable and yet informative read.

Means, I think we may have a good relationship in the future.

Great news there, keep up the good work! We are always patient, better have a slow good result than a fast and bad result <3!

Which ones are still wrong? PICS!!!!

**PingBong** · Dec 18th, 2009, 21:39:11

Given that ur already gonna remake char heads im assuming the 9 or something char bodys and the few most commonly used meshes like robe/tank armor are gonna be remade too?

**bungerman** · Dec 18th, 2009, 21:39:25

nice update.

I know you said the engine will not be done in 2009 (obviously), but could you possibly confirm that it will be done in 2010? Doesn't need an exact date, but exact year would be glooooooooorious.

I was beginning to wonder about the leets...did Wailing Wastes Dynas last night and the x-mas leets were starting to become the new desert floor covering.

Good to see some extended comments about the status of the engine.

Regarding the new heads: Does someone in Oslo make a few 'masters' for each breed then have the China group use those as guides for reworking all the others? Or is that work wholly handled by China?

Big shoulderpads like the beast-pads on atrox doesn't look quite right. It looks ok when the character is standing still but when you start running forward, the pads start hovering way above the characters head. Looks quite odd

Very uplifting FWM this week. Getting excited now

A few things I've wondered about these and the regular char wipes that can happen is does the regular three month (90 days) since last log in apply to each char or the whole account? Do both these and the regular clean ups apply to a certain level and lower or just these? Then of course what is that level?

Oops. MP T3. That would help.

Excited.... Can't wait to see some more previews from the new engine
