Friday news!
[07-19-2002]
Another episode of our Friday-on-Friday News!
Today, the 1.49 and events...
Patch 1.49:
The problems we encountered with the patch 1.49 are still not totally fixed. We now have a fairly stable version, but some major "bugs" are still preventing us from opening GORRE to players. To name one of the problems, the textures are completely inexistent in Darkness Fall, the new multi-realm dungeon.
The translation team is not slowed by these patching problems and the raw translation files for 1.50 should be ready by the middle of next week. We are currently considering with Mythic the possibility of patching GORRE directly to 1.50 if the current 1.49 problems are not solved soon.
At this time, no decision has been taken yet and this is only a possibility. We should have more light on this subject by next week.
Campaign and Events:
Events, be they official or player run (organised by players with or without a little help from the event teams) are starting to flourish on all servers and with those little weekly maintenances, the various elements needed for the start of this summer campaign are in.Feel free to share your ideas, reactions and information about events both in the game and on forums. BarrysWorld forums are ones of the most active forums for the English Servers community, from there you will probably find what you want if you are looking for more information about the activity on your server.
About this summer multi-realm Campaign, here is a little message from the Story Team:
"During the first days, do not search for a massive invasion of the demonic princes, insane special effects everywhere or massive explosions of violence. These things take time, and the demonic princes know that they will need a good organisation before forcing one or more of the three realms of DAoC to kneel before them.
Some stories start as the sun burns, as the harvests grow slowly under a nice blue sky, as the peasants are busy preparing the summer solstice celebrations and as the Kings prepare their future battle plans…
During the last three weeks, using the weekly maintenance, we already added many elements in the game. While some are or will be linked directly to the campaign, some are more "DAoC background" oriented Already some of these NPCs are wandering the realms, ready to give their messages to the ones willing to listen to them... and understand them.
Some other hints have been hidden across the three realms and the plot will unfold slowly in the weeks to come.
Be sure that the quests you will face will not be simple "go kill this monster there and you will be rewarded" also know that all the keywords will not always be the ones [under brackets]…
Do not worry if you think that the current encounters are rare and often innocent, the tension will grow slowly, all over summer and, around the beginning of new school year, you should not be able to avoid being involved in it. Or maybe you should think about it a bit earlier…"
In any case, the first European DAoC Campaign has now officially started…
Happy week end and happy hunting everyone!
