Unstable Warpgates

Amerish, Esamir, Hossin, and Indar now have a "partially" stabilized state that creates additional territory lanes along the rim of the continent, in addition to the path in the center.

• "Partial" stabilization occurs at 100 players on the continent, or after 3 hours have passed.
• "Full" stabilization occurs at 350 players on the continent, or after 5 hours have passed.

The intention behind these changes is to increase fight density on off-continents and during low-pop hours, and prevent ghost-capping of off continents. Previous changes went too far in this regard, and the partial stabilization state will allow for more combat areas.

Chapter 03

As mentioned in last week's article, we're pushing back the Chapter 03 start date, and beginning testing of the new content with an internal group. The new Chapter 03 start and end dates will be April 16 through May 30th.
