I would assume planned items or items in the works, but have no set plans or dates worked out for release. This could easily be something still being designed or discussed now how to implement, but agreed upon that it will be included at some point in time.

There's a rather large difference between knowing and revealing. Things will come as they come.. in the meantime, the sanitarium is there for any suggestions you might have.

Another major question was about improvements to the functionality of the interface. We asked James what was coming up in the form of improvements or changes that would address concerns from players.

James: We think of interface and the basic features in GW as something we are going to improve and update, for free, for anyone who has ever bought any chapter of GW. We won't make buying a new chapter a requirement to get such upgrades. (New chapters are for getting new content.)

Things like saving character builds, a mail system to get in touch with people who are off-line, more player statistics and much, much, much better ways to trade goods are all planned for the future.

Other popular requests are having a way to communicate that you are ready to go, to show that you are AFK, or to give some sort of sign that you are looking for a party. All three of these things are also going to be addressed and will be included at some point in the future.

Bah! They presented all the boring questions to him, what about toggleable capes? pet commands? Fixing the damn economy.

Guild halls.... bah!

Till the make capes toggle (which most likely they never will), I will be working alone.

intra guild sparring/practice is much needed. It will help improve the quality of pvp. I hope they implement this soon.

*Sigh* So negative....

Petcommands and Fixing the econ have been covered in previous fansite fridays. Dont think the capes have been though. Personally I dont think they should, just choose a guild with a nice cape...

Or do you want to stare at your toons ass all day XD

No, just check this thread here and read the positive comments for why to make them toggleable.

Looking at the way things are fixing the economy couldn't come any sooner. I have a bad feeling it won't be fixed for some time to come.
