The Horizons development team has posted a development update on their community site. It runs through what the team has planned in the next while.

Yes, your eyes are not playing tricks on you.? Two design previews in a row!? There is so much to talk about that we just couldn¡®t wait to get another typed up and posted for you all to read.? So, without any further delays...

May is going to be a busy month for us.? We have some content on Blight that will be (barring unforseen developments) patching to the live servers.? This content will include the next event titled "The Offensive Continues" as well as the beginning of the New Trismus overhaul.? The invasion of the Withered Aegis towards Harro heats up and your beloved war-hero, Jatell, continues to predict the movements and actions of the invading forces with uncanny skill and accuracy.? On New Trismus, six new quests for both Warrior and Mage are available and we hope new players enjoy them.? Quests for Clerics and Scouts as well as the other three base schools (Monk, Spiritist, and Druid) will be coming in time, but we aren¡®t yet done with Warrior and Mage.? We have an additional five quests for each that will be added in the near future, including a four-part story quest.

You may have noticed a lot of patching going on lately!? And you¡®re probably wondering what is up with that?? Well, we¡®re doing a bit of clean-up.? We¡®re patching updated versions of all textures that have been re-compiled to preserve more detail between the texture detail levels.? We¡®re also patching new particle effect files that have been fixed so that they will properly scale.? Particle Effects are meant to scale with your skill level so that the higher your level, the better the particle effect looks.? This was not happening before and all particle effects were being displayed at their highest level all of the time.
