Обещаний много, Smilegate накушались фидбеков, пережевывая их вместе с донатами игроков и теперь по канонам жанра признают ошибки и жаждят все исправить.
Как они обещали все исправить ранее и экспериментировали в русской модификации мы с вами видим и по сей день)
Разработчики классифицируют и подают игровой контент в виде сезонов, в 2020 году стартует второй сезон игры, который получил название "Рай неосознанного". И вот, что нас ждет в будущем:
Продолжение сюжета
Новый эпизод "Кадан" (Kadan)
Папуания
Откроют новый остров-континент Папуания,
Захват островов и улучшение осад крепостей
Улучшения в GvG системе, изменения режимов захвата крепостей Сильмаэль, а так же новая возможность - захват островов. Гильдии будут иметь больше смысла, чем сейчас, а награды за победы будут более весомыми.
Изменения в карточных битвах
Улучшения карточной системы (комбинации, характеристики и т.д.).
Личный остров
Личный остров - на нем можно строить различные здания, приглашать NPC с максимально развитой дружбой, менять им одежду и многое другое.
Рейды хранителей
Новая опция для рейда, в которой можно менять уровень сложности (Normal, Challenge, Nightmare); игрокам предстоит сразиться с Elberhastic, Acates и Igrexion.
Улучшения качества жизни
Различные меню в игре - UI интерфейсы клиента будут улучшены в 2020 году - судя по скриншоту они станут красивее. Изменениям подвергнуться интерфейсы скилов, рейдов, mvp и т.д.
Анонсированы и другие улучшение качества жизни:
- переработка поиска группы и календаря островов
- добавлено больше причесок
- возможность добавить в закладки понравившиеся мелодии и эмоции
- просмотр аватарок
- можно передвигать персонажей местами в меню выбора персонажа
- режим камеры для селфи с возможностью отправлять скриншоты в соц сети
- Возможность примерки костюмов на персонаже до того, как вы их купили на аукционе
Кто бы это мог быть? У нас ведь остались только маги! И одежда на это намекает...
Гендерные классы
По многочисленным просьбам игроков классы персонажей больше не будут привязаны к полу. Но поменять пол существующему персонажу по предварительной информации будет нельзя и придется перекачиваться, если хотите быть мужиком-дуалистом или девушкой-охотницей на демонов. Впрочем я думаю что делают какую-нить опцию за донат, это же золотое дно!
Рейд легиона
Новый рейд Легиона будет обладать множеством уникальных механик и будет не только сложным, но и веселым.
Прочие улучшения, запланированные на 2020й год
- Система рейтингов для различных аспектов игры
- Остров с режимом "Королевская битва"
- Еще одна ступень в отношениях с NPC - обожание
- Новая особенность для кораблей - вы сможете отправлять NPC на корабле с различными заданиями
- Переработка морской системы и ремесленных умений
- Новое подземелье, состоящее из трех подземелий
- Новый баланс-патч
- Совместное создание костюмов (как коллекционки для России)

Как думаете, спасут ли все эти изменения игру? Пишите в комментариях!
Ах да, еще изменили слоган с "For All RPG Fans" (для всех фанатов RPG) на "With all RPG Fans" (Вместе со всеми фанатами RPG) Тем самым разработчики показывают, что прислушиваются к мнению игроков и готовы делать все, что попросят. Но ведь в этом и была ошибка последнего года с обказуаливанием игры, наслушались всяких работяг с заводов, у которых есть 2 часа в день на MMORPG и превратили игру в лимитированный календарик с дейликами =)
