Howdy!
We promised to show you the Roadmap for 2014 as soon as it was finished and finally we're done with all the planning and are proud to present you the results. The Roadmap below is our best case scenario and we're confident that we'll be able to implement most of the features this year. We do have concepts for most of the planned new features already, some are even in development already and one, the level cap raise has been pushed to all worlds last week. For a few other features we don't have detailed concepts yet though and therefore cannot share much detail with you. We will provide you with more information as soon as the concepts are done.
Moreover, tons of new quests and events are waiting for you in 2014. They are not explicitly mentioned in the Roadmap below but are an important point for us in 2014. So no worries, there will be a lot of new content for you.
As always plans might change, features may be removed or other features will be added during the year.
We think that with this Roadmap we will be able to push the game to a new level of fun, quality and variety and very excited and looking forward to all the changes already.
Please let us know what you think of it, feel free to ask questions and share the information with your town and alliance members.
Let's go!
