The log of the meeting with the event team was cleaned up and posted here.
Main points of the discussion:
- The Arispotle Events team has been short on members. To help out with Events, a couple more would be needed. Boroshi is leading the team for now, and will try to make the event already staged in Aniro and Leanon happen before Christmas.
- Bringing more meaning to the civilizations. Each of the four civilizations will have events leading to the recovery of amber cubes (which hold the history and memory of Atys), and involvement of tribes in events is also planned. Additionally, player-based governments will be established. There is a broad outline for these events. Mention was made of the civilization languages (a reminder that a first translation of the Aniro Tryker language document is available here, for the hardcore homins).
- The lore site is being worked on as well, none of the old lore was lost or altered, and it’s planned to be moved forward (Some elements are available here, as you know). Numerous calls were made for events that would revive the lore.
- Atys-shaking changes won’t be happening for a little while yet, due to the developer’s team priority being mainly with bug-fixing and not with implementing new content yet. So the events are mainly roleplay, and won’t induce a change in gameplay for now.
- Crippling policies of the past will be made more lenient. The consensus at the meeting was to allow some Event team interaction with homins on Atys, even when no event is happening, or when the event is player-based.
- Soon. Skeptics have noted there is no timeline for development. The developers are working hard.
