    will we get gild banker within the stronghold?

    Will the requirements be scaled to actual guild size or does that mean that small guilds will be at a disadvantage? By disadvantage I mean the unlocking of structures (and boons) will take considerably longer for small and very small guilds and that means access to 'best gear'. BTW what's this 'best gear' that's being mentioned all the time? Does that mean that our elemental elven gear will become obsolete with the coming of next mod?

    What I wanna know is if the progress will be painfully slow and grindy as f(u)ck so as to push us into buying what will be the equivalent of Blood Rubies for Strongholds from the Zen Store?
    Please excuse my cynicism, but you have to admit I have good reasons to not trust Cryptic/PW. I'm dying to see the details when Strongholds hit the Preview Server.
    Like rock9000 , I hope personal banks, guild banks, a courier and other services will be available on the Stronghold map.
    I hate dancing with Lady Luck. She always steps on my toes.

    All of this sounds very promising. Thank you for the updates and some of the details as they unfold. The only thing that I can't stress enough is please, PLEASE: make certain that there are multiple ways to get EVERYTHING a guild needs to upgrade its Stronghold. Meaning, please don't gate any part of it behind any specific content: Zen Store, dungeons, PvP, Raids, etc. All of these are great places to have stuff you need for Strongholds, just please don't make any one of them the ONLY place you can get something your guild needs for strongholds. Even if small guilds have to work longer, as long as everything is eventually attainable by ANY playstyle, I think you will have a winner module.

    It sounds very much like you are following this philosophy. But, the devil, as they say, is in the details. Can't wait to see those same details as they become available.

    Best of luck with all of the hard work that remains on getting this module, safe and working, out the door.

    Peace.
    Telling us about upcoming content updates, and getting those updates out the door BUG-FREE, is *AWESOME*!! Know what's even *MORE* awesome? Fixing game breaking bugs (and/or undocumented "features") that have been in EXISTING content for months/years!!! Guess which one makes me want to spend money on a game much more than the other? Hint: It's the "more awesome" one.

    There will always be new BiS gear. Unleash the Grinder . . .

    Sounds like Evony / Age of War / endless other clones within Neverwinter?
