Thank you so much for this great address! I’m glad you took the weekend to let everything cool down a bit. I suppose you guys needed that little break too.
I hope the positive response will lift your spirits once again <3
I’m really interested in the lore of all these new (and old) factions that have sprung up this past year. It doesn’t have to be the main focus of an update, but maybe like you’ve done in Ebonhawke, there could be accounts on the origins of e.g. the molten alliance or the zephyrites scattered someplace. A story about their beginnings would be really exciting, or so I think.
Concerning Scarlet, I don’t think she’s all too bland a villain. The story featured on the website was very intriguing and I hope we’ll get to see more of that backstory and with that, some better insight into Scarlet’s motives. Because of that story, I’m kind of expecting the Pale Tree won’t remain on the sidelines of Scarlet’s story, so this could still become very interesting.
I like the way upcoming content is hinted at before the actual update announcement, like you’ve done in Kessex Hills. Just changing the environment or adding new npc’s with some teasing dialogue. You could even use previously introduced npc’s for that. That’d be even better, actually. Well, just keep on teasing us with (seemingly) little changes to the persistent world!
A cool idea that just came to me is that maybe you could slowly introduce new regions by first making smaller instanced parts of a map. All these instances could have a story that would eventually lead the player to the next instanced area until you’re ready to fuse them all into a persistent living map like the ones we now have. The story revolving around the elder dragons could advance this way as well. Trahearne and the Pact could be involved again in a push against some dragon’s minions towards it’s lair not unlike in Orr. Or it could go a different way, that’s up to you guys of course. All those different areas would have some meaning to the players who joined in on that particular story. I think that could be neat, if we’re looking, for example, a year after said story with newer players running around, not knowing what exactly happened there. kitten , I’m liking this idea. :p Yes I very much like kittens, thank you.
But the point that I initially wanted to make, is this: please just don’t leave things hanging. And don’t wait too long until everyone’s forgotten about it. I’m talking about Mai Trin and Canach mainly. Especially Canach is such an interesting villain or a possible situational ally even. A prison instance where we could talk to previous antagonists could be a nice addition. Fleshed out characters make the best stories! But that’s just my opinion.
Many thanks for reading through this and all the other posts.
