===CLASSIC===
Looking at suggestions for improving high level party play in new areas as well as creating a "through line" quest to take people from novice to Asgard and beyond in a more organic way than Janeway's quests.
Did you know: We have a Juperos Dungeon turn in! Mechanic Mike in jupe_cave (49, 53) will give you quests to hunt the mechanical monsters within. The spawns have been boosted and Dimiks removed in Juperos 1 and 2.

Camp wasn't able to pull the db list of names for the level 99 trans event but we are doing that distribution this week during maintenance.
We are searching for unused headgear sprites that we can re-purpose for Classic events. Campitor is doing an inventory on possible headgears that can be redone. First headgear will be to make the New Savage Bebe hat from the last WP newsletter available on Classic so players can request an exchange.
