So the test team have started playing with the latest bit of sexy online interaction functionality of the game which is going to tie in VERY closely with the new magic system. I'll be announcing what this functionality is when I make the announcement about the new magic system.

As you likely know from playing the game already, all of Malevolence's multiplayer/MMO features are 'passive' features, meaning that there is no direct, real-time connectivity between players, but at the same time you are interacting with every other player in the world. We're continuing that tradition with all of our future features as well and this one is no exception. We believe it's a great way to handle multiplayer in an RPG environment and you guys seem to enjoy it given that you've between you managed to find and claim almost TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND unique locations in Ahkranox (over thirty times the number of unique locations in Skyrim!). That being said, though, this new piece of functionality is - in my mind - one of the most exciting new features that this game has seen, and it will give you something SUPER cool to obsess over now!

Thanks again for all your patience and kind words, we'll be back with more awesome content over the Christmas break as I'm taking a bunch of time off my day job to really get stuck into this!

Keep on keeping on, and stay out of pit traps!
