| February 03, 2012 Log in and talk to the Kenai in Stoneheart Fall about the Forest Gate to get started on this week's release!
From the Kensai’s cave:
Alas, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Such is the case today when I learned there IS such a thing as too much background. So the offering is now five quests, rather than six. Ambition, being what it is, is often hard on the ego when things don’t work quite the way you plan them to. Such is life, and we learn and move on.
You can only gain the new weapons if you locate the forest gate. (for those of you who were wondering) The other quests have other drops.
Next week:
You will at last meet the guardians who stand sentinel by their gate. They have been apparently waiting for you for a VERY long time. Next week… the boss fight with the guardians of the forest gate.

| February 02, 2012 From the Kensai’s Cave:
Music drives us, and often the lyrics of a song find relevance in our daily lives. For today, the best quote for relevance is “What a long strange trip it’s been”. It seems Nivalis, ever the crafty villain has done his dead level best to stop yet another release from happening. He really doesn’t want you to discover the gates. And that’s what happens this Friday! You will embark on a search for the Forest Gate, and the Guardians who await you.
Often a Heroes quality is known to all, from their own heroic deeds in defense of Kingdom and all that he holds dear. Sometimes however, the people who must rely on the hero have not had the opportunity to observe that hero doing what he does best. In those cases the quality of the hero must be tested to the fullest. What qualities are sought for depend on the person doing the searching. The next few quests are going to test your qualities.
The quality being tested now is patience. You must seek out the forest gate where it lies hidden, somewhere in the vast forested region between Oaklore and Falconreach.
Tomorrow you will navigate through a series of quests while searching for the forest gate. If you find the gate, a shiny new Nature weapon set awaits you! There are not one, not two, not even three, but SIX new quests, built into one. Only one of the quests holds the forest gate and the guardians! Good Luck!

| January 27, 2012 You guys did an absolutely amazing job finishing the Friday the 13th Rift War! All of you guys fought together and went through an insane amount of waves in the last hour bringing home victory for the War Challenge with just ten minutes to spare!
You guys literally beat us to the boss fight, after us having a crazy week at the office*! The imp pets were awarded in a special mini-quest with the new Ashen Squire monsters. Now though... now it's time for the boss! Tomix did an amazing job animating it and Rolith did some very mean things programming it. Tomix also made a wicked looking helm for the boss fight rewards!
Fixes!
Just a quick note, Rolith has adjusted the xp for leveling from 60 to 70. I've also fixed several items that were unsellable/undestroyable if you're looking to clear some inventory space.
*Rolith got bogged down with server work and poor Tomix was sick on Thursday. D:

| January 24, 2012 So, the end of 2011 was a crazy holiday season with people getting sick, travelling and foolishly thinking they could take vacations! With all the rush of trying to get everything done poor Togslayer armor got lost in the shuffle.
Luckily, it's a leap year, so we totally have an extra day.
So, it has been decided that we're going to have a special release on February 29th, 2012. For that one day, 24 hours, you'll be able to get Togslayer, gather "coal" from a random quest filled with togs and train the armor up. After that, you gotta wait for next time the Frostval Storybook appears.

| January 24, 2012 Hey guys, just a quick check in to let you know if you're one of the people racing to level 80, you'll have the level 80 tier DoomKnight items awaiting you now. If you have already hit 80 (wow!), then they'll be in your inventory the next time you log in!
Now I figured I'd also take some time to share some VERY INTERESTING numbers.
| Total Players Created: |
42294053 |
(since DF Beta) |
| Number of Players at or above old level cap: |
11521 |
(Lvl 70+) |
| Percentage of players that made the levelcap: |
0.000272402364% |
|
| Number of people who made 80 |
28 |
(in last two weeks) |
I love those kinds of numbers, and thought you guys would like to know them, too!
Right now, we are working on some tools to make Chapter 2 more interesting while continuing the clean up of Chapter 1, so it helps to keep track of things like how many players are at each of the different levels. Level 40 seems to be about the average for completing Chapter 1's main storyline.
Forum question: What level are YOU, and how long did it take you to get there? How many hours a week do you play, and do you just play through the release, or farm for the epic rewards? Let us know on the Forum!
Cya on Twitter, too!

| January 23, 2012 'Tis a strange place indeed.A floating city, a sanctuary for a fleeing purple people we know nothing about.
And yet, those four individuals standing in a war camp are whispering.Whispering of brave heroes, trying to save their race from the danger.Save this world from "him".
But in order to do so, the heroes will need power.Power they can provide for the ones who speaks with dragons.
Power to touch with the mind...To decive foes, twisting their minds with illusions...
Their choice was already made by destiny.We count on you.Save this world....
