Hint at new expansion?

So I was down near sundown town looking for mats when I ran into the eastern edge of the map.

And there I noticed something very, very, interesting:

Instead of saying "Unavailable" it said "Upcoming"

2009-12-2721-17-28.jpg

So what do you guys think? Does this mean the map will be expanding again?


(I guess we will know when the GMs lock and delete this thread lol)

    Hahah yeah I saw that earlier, but the weird thing is it says Upcoming in all places.


    Except it used to say "Coming Soon" now it says "Upcoming". I have a screenshot of the "coming soon" somewhere..

    I think its bogus..why? because:

    1. Since it says Upcoming at ALL edges of the map I think its just a bad translation T_T

    2. The trick that I used to get into the Tideborn area BEFORE IT CAME OUT, doesnt work in these upcoming/coming soon areas,


    EDIT: Also I dont think they fixed the bug, because you can still move by clicking after you disconnect your internet. This means that character movement is client side, not server side.

    There is a 5th House that is unoccupied at every place where skill trainers gather in Arch......

    Its everyone's guess as to where the new territory will be though. It could be next to Tideborn City, or even as far as other side of 1k streams.

    We will see what the new year brings :)

    That is great except for 1 thing, it used to say "unavailable" so why was it changed?

    As for what you said; 1: Maybe it says it everywhere cuz they can only change the edge of map text for the whole map and not specific areas.

    and 2: IF there is a new area don't you think they would have studied the trick ppl were using and countered it somehow?

    Im guessing down south at the bottom of the map (West of raging tide)

    EDIT: oops I meant west of RT not east lol

    1: I doubt it. They can change the area name text everywhere else on the map.

    2: Keyword→IF. When the tideborn came out I did that trick, it worked etc etc. Then I wanted to see if there was more stuff in other areas of the map. I tried it at the place south of tusk town and I got the same result.

    I have seen the 'coming soon' notice too, I found it east of the new tideborn area. This direction would seem odd for an expansion when looking at the map. I haven't revisited to see if it says the same or 'upcoming' as I have seen elsewhere.

    There is plenty of land mass to the west of Raging Tides and the Barrier and down the extreme west of the map, which could accommodate for the over 105's, if they ever raise the level cap and/or the possible that Ceshiari alludes to! I don't have any expectations or anticipate any of this for a long time... Maybe just before the festive holidays next year?

    maybe the bug used to get in tideborn area before its release has been solved now atleast for other places

    and i see holes in the map for new places everywhere and its also pretty clear the expansion isnt complete yet
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    english isn't my native language so there might be a few spelling/grammatical errors in my posts

    Interesting name. b:victory

    It might be another 6 months before we'll see another expansion, but there will most likely be one or two smaller patches in-between that contain fruitful updates though.

    Agree with your second paragraph completely.

    As for the apparent bug that existed to access the tideborn area before its release, parts of that were added in separate updates in prep for the big release. Applying what I consider to be reasonable logic, surely it would be too early for these new areas to be already in the process of updates. Of course, it is also fair to imagine that they could have solved the bug too!

    Sometimes they just leave options for things open even without any plan to expand or the game is unpolished and things are left behind...

    If you really want to be able to say in 6 months or a few years that you saw an expanded area coming because of an odd message you got...I guess that's ok XD I'd rather not waste my time investigating it when I could be killing things :3

    I for one do hope they expand the map into the bottom left hand corner, extending it out from Cromagnon Village south and from the Tideborn areas west until both points meet in order to make a rectanglular map.

    I don't know if anyone else experienced this but when the new areas were first released I tried travelling from around Barrier Island to Gate of Delirium and got stuck on some invisible force i.e. the edge of the map that sticks out between the new areas and Tusk Town. b:cry

    Regards.

    And now all NPC's say "Goods", Dragon Quest has changed names, PWI only hairstyles disappeared to be replaced by the default ones etc. PWI just dropped the ball on making the same changes/translations on the expansion that they did at the start when they cared about quality over money.

    hmm good point i forgot that about the whole "goods" versus "trade list" thing.

    Well I doubt if any new maps have been placed in the game files yet; you can't go somewhere that doesn't exist, and Tideborn areas weren't accessible until that ginormous patch that put them in.

    I personally doubt they'd start on another expansion so soon, let alone in the same patch. Though I'm not outruling another expansion, I think it's just bad localization.

    And it's also too soon to add a new expansion. I think the current expansion is enough for a few months or so.

    That wouldn't matter at all. Each game has their own team to work on. Dvorak for example used to be the Community Manager here but moved completely to JD when that game came out. In his place Spoons is now the CM here. He was completely new at that point.

    Just one example of course but I always seem to see new people coming in with new games and also some changing of departments and/or games. Some people are only temporary additions who help with translations and all that and others stay on.

    I imagine it will be quite some time before they add anything new, race-wise, it used to say Unavalible, but the Khatru Pup is also now called a Coyote. I think there were some other things that changed aside from some names and mob aggro, but I'm pretty sure that they just biffed it. They will extend the map in the future(what else are they going to do with it?), I know that much so I guess the "upcoming" part isn't a complete lie. XD

    Don't know about the race...but a Scythe wielding class and a "Paragon" type class, I.E. party buffs and such. >.>

    How do i know...because I've played another game that had two very similar classes in their second expansion as we got in the Tideborn one. The two I mentioned were in the third and final expansion for it so it's a guess. Dunnoh if I'm right or not...but the coincidences on all the classes released so far have been uncanny and it would be funny.

    Necromancers would be pretty cool. Their home town could be a graveyard. Or maybe a class that comes from the sky. Elves don't count, even though they can fly at level 1, they come from the forest. A sky class would be the way to go.
