Dear Developers: Status of Velious?

[Enygma]

Dear nilbog, Rogean, Kanras, and those of you behind the scenes:

Just hoping for, if you are allowed to comment at all on the status of this expansion. How close are we to alpha/beta testing? What content remains to be tested before alpha and beta tests? Is there any active development at all?

These have been questions weighing heavily on the minds of many of the P99ers as I'm sure you're well aware, this is arguably the greatest raiding expansion in the history of MMORPG's I understand you guys want to get it right and that takes time.

Just hoping for a status update, is it in the forseable future?

There's a reason Velious came out a year after Kunark was released [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] the raiding content is a MUST!

Thanks for your time.

Haha, this is HILARIOUS. And your answer is available on other boards, I just can't access them from work so you'll have to find your own links.

I'd be surprised if 20k x 18k iceclad ocean is even complete, velious is so fat.

I would expect a year from now, judging from late epic release/VP.

Late VP release was supposedly punishment to IB / TMO for shitting up the raid scene. But then they made the zone exclusive to those guilds by implementing non-CSR despite forcing an early rotation on release. Go figure...

Not to mention it was inaccurate since the bottleneck to VP is Trak ~

[Alarti0001]

on topic though.... velious shouldnt take that long to put out if it is being actively worked on.
Wonder if dev's would allow testers with limited gm commands to test on an alternate server. limited stuff like goto, spawn npc commands and summon items.

you could basically run through all the quests and tradeskills shit that way fairly quickly with a few knowledgeable testers

Reported for flaming in server chat.

A year is probably accurate. What i'm really wondering is where we go after Velious has been out awhile
