Yes, the whole idea around EI was to have items that evolve. Having multiple poses was always a natural feature for all the special items, while having all poses unlocked was a long, long discussion. We made up our mind before the cash shop was released and we stuck to it since then.

This is something I've been curious about. Go back in your minds to a time before the cash shop was released, before any EIs were ever sold. Are you there? What were your original ideas about evolving items and how they would be implemented? Are there any ideas you remember having about them that got changed along the way? Was it always the original intent to have all the poses unlock at the end of the EI's evolution cycle? I remember there was a lot of debate about that at the time.

And a bonus question: Is there any ETA on the new shops we are getting?

[Lanzer]

The idea is to have a variety that ranges from practice swords to something a lot more fancy than regular weapons. (Though some MC items are pretty outrageous already) No NPC had been decided yet, and because of the work involved, we might end up releasing weapons through regular stores than a dedicated shop for the time being.

Krovahn

Just a couple questions, When/If we get a weapon shop, what all can we expect from it, like item and price wise. Will there be a great variety, or just knock-offs of items we've already gotten?

also, do you have an MPC in mind to run it? or are you coming up with someone completely new for it?

Thanks!

One more thing I'd like to say.

I stumbled onto these pics today of two NPCs designed by reapersun originally planned to be included in zOMG!

Now i hear they are up in the air as far as being included as NPCs.


I have to say...what are you thinking?! gonk

Quit teasing me with these amazing characters Gaia!! xp

Please consider making them official NPCs. crying heart

Ah, I recognize that lower one. It's the background for the Clans homepage.

Has there been any thought to offer previous monthly collectibles in the cash shop... even if they where priced really high?

Yup yup, they were up in the air around the time of zOMG!'s release, so the NPCs never got released. So, alas, like the Linklist Ninja and Thief of old, they were doomed to backgroundness. T.T

Nope, for now, the decision is still to keep MC as items that won't be re-released. We are still thinking through ideas for re-releasing some in special occasions or quests though.

Have fun with the rest of the summer event. See you all next week!
