Editing Release 126 (section)

=== Notes on Game Balance ===
We have started the monumental task of re-balancing the game. This effort will take quite some time and a lot of resources, but will be well worth it. Optimizing the game is incredibly important. This effort has been in the works for some time and we are now in the midst of data collection and analysis.

Along with balance, there is performance: we have identified a number of areas that can be improved from graphics quality to reducing draw calls and a Level of Detail (LOD) overhaul. All very resource-intensive and will take some time before results will be visible and complete.

Game balance touches on every aspect of the game. Skills, crafting, loot, mob power, and more! We will be discussing the balance project as well as Scottie’s efforts with regard to houses on stream, Friday, May 31st at 4pm CT. This should be a greatly informative stream with a peek into how houses are made and what we plan to do to update our existing as well as new house inventory.

See you there!
