DDO news can happen any time, and sometime it is hard for one person to catch it all.  There have been a few times where I was not able to get the information our as fast as I would like, or things that I missed.  Now, I am happy to say that that is a lot less likely now.  ArkoHighStar has done a great job in pointing out bits of news and helping me serve the community, and now he will be doing so in a more official capasity.  I am pleased to say that he has officially joined DDO Reports.

With his help, you can now look forward to even more up-to-date news.  Welcome to the team, Arko!

Tolero was kind enough to give me some information on the update that is scheduled to come to Risia next week. The update will not be a feature-complete version of Mod 8.  Instead it will include the New Player Experience and the Hireling mechanics.  This was done so that it could be released sooner so that those more risky mechanics could be tested by a larger population, as well as to make sure that the players didn’t get side-tracked by the new high-level content.  Like previous updates, the high-level content is planned to be made available on Risia closer to the release of Mod 8 for it’s own wide-audiance testing.

She also said that Mod 8 is still on track, and barring any unexpected issues creeping up on Risia, is scheduled to be released in mid October.

• #DDOEU Community rep, Deum, is leaving Code Masters. Amaurea will take over. Thanks for all you did, Duem! http://is.gd/2Oz1 #
