Re: The wait is over!

This is great news and i'm happy that it's a done deal. Now about all the rest of the items that are in limbo status, ie new outside hunt grounds, live events etc....can we get an update that goes beyond the usual "Coming soon to a theater near you!"

Talking Re: The wait is over! Digital Distribution Announcement!

This is truly great news.

Ummmmm, Frelorn. The screenshots on D2D are a little confusing.

The first one appears to be an actual player with actual stats. Good.

The next 3 shots are +characters with stats that we can never, never, ever reach. Or is there another change on the way that will allow us to get these godly stats?????????????

This is the kind of non committal, say nothing posts that i'm truly sick of seeing. If you people have plans why not at least share what some of those plans are?? I mean it's not like we've ever been able to hold you guys responsible for any ideas promised that didn't materialize before so what is with all the cloak and dagger nonsense? The content of late has been great, a lot of fun and well done but there have been many hollow statements like these as of late. Why is it that you cannot seem to expand on these statements, legal binding issues...what?

Re: The wait is over! Digital Distribution Announcement!

Also, I noticed the pictures show the old-style trees in alot of cases....

The new trees have done alot to make AC's landscapes look nicer. We should definitely be show-casing that

Thanks for all the hard work in getting the download deal finalized.

Re: The wait is over! Digital Distribution Announcement!

Aye, thank you Frelorn. It is not an easy job to placate the masses, but the new downloadable ToD is indeed a big deal. Not only will we see a slight increase in population, but it is a monumental sign that Turbine is not just throwing in the towel! Looking forward, I also hope that something positive will now happen with the marketing, but I'm getting ahead of myself. A big Grats to the Turbine crew and to us loyal followers!!!!!

Move to Verdantine. You could have six whole villa settlements to yourself, and then some.
