Happy holidays, everyone! We have made it to the end of 2014; I hope all of you have had a great year. This year has been very memorable and has left me in a position I could not be happier to hold - I personally look forward to what 2015 will bring, just as I look forward to what it will deliver to Rubi-Ka.
The Iceleet Cometh
Our Yuletide festivities started earlier this month, and will continue until January 5th. Details on the available events can be found here. Be sure to help out (or hunt down) these holiday leets before they're locked away in the vault until next year!
If you have not, be sure to log in a character from any subscribed account to claim a free Nophex 3D Printer: Holiday Edition which will give you a tradeable gift. These are also available in the Item Shop, as well as a "Deluxe" version which will create an item for all of your team members (Note: You will need to be somewhat near your team members for everyone to get their gift).
Also ending with this holiday season will be our current subscription offer, which is detailed here. Take advantage of this offer while you can, and gain access to a unique set of swords, forged by the Hiisi themselves!
First Patch of 2015
To start the year, we plan to release a small patch. The purpose is mostly to remedy some issues that arrived with the Christmas patch, as well as some other fixes here and there. I hope to see it on Testlive and Live early next year, once everyone has thawed out from the holidays.
18.7
With the start of the new year, a renewed focus and ferocity will be applied to finishing and releasing the 18.7 patch onto Testlive and Live. Some unexpected delays cropped up with the new Professional votes, for which I am sorry, but we will work to get those under way as soon as we can - I have enjoyed breathing life into Professional and Community generated suggestions. Thank you once again to everyone who has provided feedback with what they would like to see with 18.7 so far!
Barring any unforeseen issues, I am not planning to make any 18.6 patches beyond the aforementioned patch, coming early January - Full steam ahead!
Happy New Year!
So here we are, at the end of 2014, looking towards 2015. Thank you all for a fantastic year - Let's make 2015 even greater! Have a happy and safe New Years.
