So what comes next now that the expansion is out? In the short term we'll be continuing with a few smaller updates, tweaking and adjusting the expansion content and adding in some new quests to Khitai. It is important that we make sure we can polish up the Khitan quests and areas as much as possible. So we will be continuing to focus on improving the performance there as well.
Looking a little further out we are already at work on the next stages of the tier four raids which will expand upon the story of the expansion, and start to draw together the mysteries of Kara Korum and the strange behaviour of the Imperial throne. We are also looking to add some more team instances to Paikang itself that expand upon the Insurrection and their goals in Khitai. We will talk a little bit more about that as we move along with these new areas.
There is another significant update that we will be working on behind the scenes and that is the next integration of our Dreamworld engine. This involves an update to the games engine, including new versions of the render engine. Some of it is 'under the hood' maintenance as it were, but some will also be noticeable in game as we look to improve the DX10 version of the game further, amongst other things. This process will start shortly and is a complex one. Strictly speaking it isn't linked to any specific content updates, so hopefully we will be able to also deliver some of the new content mentioned above while this integration is progressing. Continuing to improve the performance of our underlying technology is something that is important to us, and something that we will continue to work with.
