Hi. Some information on the progress of the new loc initiative.
The first guild to be introduced will be Tzarakk. I'm expecting the beta phase
to start around the end of this month. Kharim and Nurgle are next, perhaps a
few weeks later, and Aelena last, again a few weeks forward. I'm expecting the
full guild to be tested and in game by the end of the year.
Some preliminary information on the guild;
a) There will be a 10-level loc-apprentice guild, mandatory for all subguilds
b) You can only join a single subguild per reinc
c) The backgrounds support will be erelig (for all), nomad (kharim) and
civilized (aelena).
d) There will be an evolution path for the current loc blades, in the Kharim
subguild. However, don't expect to get that godslayer you now have. You'll get
a head start though if you have a good blade now.
e) The old locs will be phased out when the Kharim are introduced in the game.
This, I would imagine, will happen sometime in the end of November.
Rgds, your friendly neighbourhood Magus
