- We now have a stable expansion client and are able to play in all live areas of the game, as well as the expansion zones. Mythic employees have been running the new client for a few weeks now on the live servers as they play the game, just to see how existing content looks in the new engine. Everyone has reported a startling frame rate improvement that we hope will carry through development of Shrouded Isles, as well as overall sharper effects and texture detail.
- We plan to start an internal (closed) beta in just a few weeks. We'll announce plans for an open beta after that. Stay tuned to the Herald for Details.
- All the new expansion zones are now up on the internal Mythic development server, and are having art added to them on a daily basis.
- We have about four new dungeons that are ready to have monsters added to them and encounters scripted. Two of these are the ones that I showed at the recent Camelot Roundtable - the ice caves and Trollheim.
- Next week we launch a new website system with new Dark Age of Camelot, Shrouded Isles, Camelot Herald, and Customer Service sites. All will have a consistent look and feel and will be tied together more logically. The Shrouded Isles site will have screenshots and information about the new classes, races, and continents.
- Two major game news websites will be presenting new Shrouded Isles information sometime in the near future (probably next week) with new screenshots and a question and answer with the dev team.
