Dear Concerned Future Citizen,

We've also seen a lot of other MMOs launch without plans for this in place, and understand how awful it feels when the economy is ruined by botting, cheating, exploiting, and RMT. For Ashes of Creation we know we need a plan to address this on day one.

Prioritizing things like security, having active and present GMs in-game, and having other systems in place to identify things like this and take swift action is important to us. To learn more about what we’ve said on this topic, check out the wiki here: ...

Backgrounds are similar to "racials" in other games.

Instead of the race you choose giving certain benefits, players will select a "background." We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.

We spoke about this during the February 2023 Development Update. Timestamp to where that conversation begins.

One of our goals of these Development Updates is getting feedback on specific systems. This month we want feedback on Caravans, and connected systems like Glint and Commodities.

We felt that bringing PvP into today's stream would have dominated the conversation, and taken away from what we're looking to discuss with players. There will definitely be a time to talk PvP in the future, but that wasn't what our focus was for this update. ⚔

You can gather materials and carry them back to a Node, where you can do things like sell them or put them in other storage you have.

Caravans are a different way to transport materials. You can learn more about Caravans in the October 2023 Development Update livestream, and in the wiki here.

What other things would you like to see in a Tank archetype kit, to make it more interesting?

If you didn't see this stream, we spoke more about the Tank archetype, showed some of the abilities, and talked about how we approach this kit for both PvE and PvP in the Alpha Two Tank Preview showcase (linked here).

We definitely want to give players as much freedom as we can for character creation, while still maintaining the look and feel of Ashes of Creation. Hairstyles is just one part of that.

If you didn't see the Alpha Two Character Creator Development Update, we shared a little bit about this in that stream. Here's a timestamp to one of those conversations.

⚔️ #IYCMI, we showed what an Event through the Event System can look like via wave-based combat, made some Alpha Two clarifications, and more! https://youtu.be/OmTNooWyZxU...

This month we will be showcasing world events.

World events are pop up challenges that exist within open areas of wilderness or POIs, and anyone can join. They adapt in difficulty to player strength and last around 20-30 minutes usually (though some can be longer). We'll be showing a wave event in this month's Development Update Livestream.

People won't need to be citizens of the same Node to play together, and there is a lot more Nodes can do with Service Buildings than just Artisanship Buildings.

Different play groups may find it easier to choose one Node to progress together, and other groups may have players with citizenship in different Nodes, to take advantage of a wider variety of perks.

One area of the game won't have everything players need or want to do, and we expect that most players will travel at least some of the time. Since traveling will be the norm, being citizens of different Nodes hopefully won't tear friendships apart.

This is awesome! Do you mind if we share this on our social channels for our #FanFriday segment? 💖
