We have been hard at it these last few months, so much so, that as usual we fail to give timely update information. But as it is the holiday season, we mark this winters update as we did with our original beta release with a great event.
The Holiday Treasure Hunt : Buried somewhere within the walls of Emerald Peaks lies a fortune! Get your pick axe and start digging. (this event is for new characters only)
And for those experienced players, we have added a new horse vendor. Players completing the Governors quest chain will gain access to a variety of new mounts for speedy travel. Your quest is not an easy one though, as it will put you at odds vs many of the lands toughest foes.
Our recent resource update added many new commodities - Stone, Brick, Vines, Rope, Herbs, Ore, Ingots, Cotton, Cloth and Mushrooms as well as the addition of a player build Forge and Dock System.
Unload your Cannons and fire up the forge. Lets put all that iron to use regrading up the guns. I hope you guys have been saving it up, its about to be rare so stop selling it to the NPCs.
As your weapons improve, so decreases the chance of success, but the addition of a new Rare Red Ore will improve your chances even more, scarce and difficult to harvest.
With your newly upgraded arsenal, life at sea is a bit easier. Sink pirate ships and retrieve their loot, check out the new undersea life and perhaps discover other sunken ruins.
Our final and probably biggest addition to this update though came from you guys...
The New Combat System - Though the old system still is in place, a new option has been added giving directional attack using a simple mouse click with different movement keys pressed.
Right Click will no longer put away weapon as it is automatic when Idle or left clicking gun away. The current system is not set in stone and might still need some fine tuning, but it does seam to play much smoother so I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your input on how to continue to improve it.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful letters and suggestions. I hope you enjoy the update!
Happy Holidays!
