Harvey Burgess -- Captain Flametalon -- posted his latest letter on your Profile Page News!
Hello everyone, Captain Flametalon here again. I know it has been a while since I've posted anything on the forums but I can tell you that I have been reading them! I figured it was about time to share with all of you some of the things that we have been working on.
I should start with what we have done over the last couple of months. As anyone should know that has created a new account or character, we have been tweaking the starting area and activities. One thing we knew we needed to do was to make it easier for new people to get to the activities that people were having fun in. Now, you can see those activities in front of you without needing to do anything else. This is still a work in progress, so you can expect to see more changes to the starting area as well.
We've also had a chance to release another set of cards for Duelists. Players were able to challenge Baron von Darkcheat and win his treasure if successful. I must admit, I haven't been all that successful yet, but I'm still trying.
The most recent addition to Free Realms though was the new items added to Farming. All of these new items are available from the new vending machine that you can find on your farm. My favorite item has got to be the Mega Growth Gun!
Next, I guess I should talk a little about what's been going on behind the scenes. I know a while back I had said that Ranching was coming soon but unfortunately, we decided to scrap what we had because it didn't prove to be as fun as we'd like it to be. It is back in the drawing room and will still be something that you'll be able to see in the future. We just don't have a timeframe for it yet.
I guess I should also talk about something else that actually does have a timeframe now, Sunstone Valley! We also went back through what we were releasing with this area and decided to tweak it around a bit as well. I can say now that it is REALLY looking cool. The plan is to have it ready to release this summer, so stay tuned.
And of course I can't forget to mention that we're celebrating a big milestone around here... it's our third birthday! Happy Birthday, Free Realms, and a big thank you to everyone who has been a part of the Realms over the past three years! Year four is going to be really exciting!
That's all I have for now, but I'll leave you with a shot of what's coming.
