Live Chat Recap!
We just finished up a lively chat over at MMORPG.com, and saw an amazing influx of players (226!) who asked a variety of questions relating to various areas of the game. If you missed out on the chat, worry not, here are some of the night's highlights!
Q: Creasian asked, "Is there any news of a retail re-release and if do, how it will be handled?"
A: Phathom responded, "We are just starting REPLACE #5 which includes a NEW starting area that we can keep our new players in the same general starting locations. The NEW area will help us in having an awesome acquisition program to market out to new players. A Re-Release will be evaluated when we are ready to launch that new island.
Also, there may be some confusion on what a re-release is to some. Once we have the Isle of Dawn (The NEW area), we will have what we believe to be a very nice introductory to the game that transitions you very nicely into other areas. That is key to doing any re-release."
Q: Silentnoise asked, "What does SOE feel about the current reaction to Gu4 and how long before they will implement a patch to correct the issues?"
A: Glip responded, "Well, anytime you take something like customization away you expect a bit of backlash. So in that regards, we weren't too surprised. However, we did what was ultimately in the best interest of the game - and as more folks get the chance to hop in game and play that'll become more and more apparent.
The flying mounts are going to have a pretty good reception too once players start finishing off those quests. Very few things are cooler than flying over all your buddies on a Griffon or Wyvern.
As for when we'll be patching next to fix any bugs that were introduced with GU4, expect something next week!"
Q: Khocha asked, "Any info you could give us about fishing? And with fishing, will there be a purpose? Such as a cooking your catch to make food?"
A: Gebron responded, "Fishing is currently still in early development. We're playing around with lots of ways to put "hooks" throughout the rest of the game that "tie" into fishing.

We'll have a more formal announcement with the full feature list in the near future. Stay tuned to the test server."
Again, a big thanks to everyone who stopped by and participated – we couldn't do these without you! The Vanguard team is definitely looking forward to the next chat soon!
