| '''The Future:'''
| |
|
| |
| Many players have written to tell us that they really enjoyed the update to the Lethe quest, and to ask if we have any other quest updates in mind for the future. As it happens, we do, and you'll see the first of them in the December update. (Here's a hint: if you have low level characters near Holtburg, you may want to be careful where you log them out before the update.)

| '''Social Centers'''
| |
|
| |
| As also mentioned in previous Letters, over the next few months we will focus on the towns of Holtburg, Shoushi and Yaraq. Our goal is to increase player traffic through these towns, to make them more desirable places to spend time in-game.
| |
| In December we'll be making a number of improvements to these three towns. These include:
| |
|
| |
| * Making the portals into the towns more consistent and increasing the number of portals out of the towns.
| |
| * Moving the casinos closer to the towns.
| |
| * Adjusting the starter quests based in these towns.
| |
|
| |
| In addition to the three bullet points above, there are some improvements that we can't mention here – things that players will discover over the course of the December event.

| '''Content Revisions'''
| |
|
| |
| In addition, we've revised much of the content around the starter town of Shoushi, rebalancing and tweaking where we felt it was necessary. Over time, we plan on retouching all of the older towns in this manner, as well as making other changes and improvements to make them more fun and valuable to spend time in.
