tera gold- making some pretty major decisions regarding the code changes

Most of the week for Means was taken up in meetings with Genele and Macrosun,Tera Gold making some pretty major decisions regarding the code changes needed for the Rebalancing. Some of this stuff is pretty major, like "wait, really, we're doing that?" kinda major. Here's a teaser: map navigation as a skill is disappearing, and all RK maps (as well as some upgrades) will be automatically applied to all characters. That's really just the tip of the iceberg, with some other large surprises in store later.

Both Genele and I have been making some additional tweaks/adjustments to our respective instances which should be on Testlive fairly soon - Initial feedback so far has been really great, and with the refinements & polish incoming it shouldn't be long before the new content is ready for the live dimensions. More feedback is always welcome, though, so we encourage you guys to head over to Test to check 'em out. Lindelu has a new batch of Daily Missions incoming as well that are available for testing which I think you guys will enjoy - Always fun stuff from Linde. =D

in Q1 or early Q2...but at this point it is still dependent on the release of the new Buy RS Gold version of the engine in Conan as to how much resource we will get in getting it set up and running. There are a few visual glitches (shadows, water and grass) I absolutely want repaired before we open it up...but we need external assistance in resolving those before we continue. I have to admit to being a bit critical of what I will allow outside the building with our expectations being so high. On a positive note the more time the artists get before we open it up the better the first versions will look. Work is getting close to complete on new bodies and heads and a great deal of the "high impact + most used" resources (trees rocks etc) are being upgraded at a good pace while we wait for the tech to come together.
