Current status & plans for the future
I was away for a couple of weeks, and unfortunately there's no one else to replace me here and keep things going. I apologize for keeping you in suspense, now we're back on track. I'll give answers to most important questions here.
- Opening the lvl 90 cap and rebirth: we understood that you're eager to start digging into lvl 90 content. Still, there's still an issue with the low server population, which prevents us from opening the cap. That's why we're going to launch a referral program and a special offer for returning players - in other words, we'll try to gather more active players first, and after that we'll make the decision about the cap. These two programs will launch quite soon.
About the Counсil: there's a lot of stuff to say, so here's a different topic for that: .
About mixed queues: that's a good idea and we plan to implement a mixed queue system for Sea Battles in the near future. The situation with mixed queue in Ruins is not so simple, because there're some additional technical tasks to tackle before this battleground can be actually used with mixed queues.
About small number of islands available: we'll check this issue and make the task of finding a non-subgermed island more simple, if that's the case. (FYI, by the time of writing this post there're six unclaimed islands out there).
Other plans: we've recenlty released a new clan instance, which gives nice loot and offers another way to get Sidian. We'll soon make an official announcement and open that instance here.

PS: Technically, unclaimed islands means they can be sunken, with no one to take control over them in the bottom of the sea.
Also, I am actually thoroughly surprised no cap raise because I saw very few no, and overwhelming yes.
Looking forward for changes.
Just FYI Dreidan, we have had people out for the past 8 hrs that I know of and there is only 1 island that is UP (corsair island).
By 6 unclaimed are you also counting the ones that are submerged and therefore not accessible by any chance?
I seem to recall when we came here from aer, there was talk of a reward for having to make the switch, it was the gift of elder dragons, but that turned out to be a gift for all. Some also got enough Activated Dragon Stellar to allow them all dragon abilities. When i let ihit know i did not get any, his reply was, it was a bug and it should not have happened, so then i asked, well are you going to take them away from those that got them, and his answer was no.
So again, it really seems jacked up to reward people who left, and no those that stayed. seems to send a bad message. Just my $.02 worth.
Thank-you for coming back!!
Again, communication issues. If you are out of office, put a message , not just on your email, but to your customers also.
Thank you
Basically Dreidan is saying lifting level cap to 90 is pegged/contingent on more live players in nova. DE is implementing the two programs above very soon to try to boost attendance and Dreidan will decide after seeing the results of the programs. I do not think DE has a timetable. They might just keep the programs active until they feel they have enough live players to lift the cap. Most players in nova want the cap lifted and they want to please the players BUT they need the more live players so u creating more alts/toons will not help
