Economy balancing:

After extensive analyzing of the gold output during the beta, there have been various changes to the amounts of gold given by the Treasure Maps and Key Chests. Also, we have changed the gold income from capturing Villages to bring it more in line with the new per tick system rewards.

Treasure chest gold reduced by 2.5%
Chaos chest gold reduced by 50%
Selentine chest gold reduced by 34%
Veilron chest gold reward reduced by 34%
Neithal chest gold reward reduced by 30%
Leenspar chest gold reward reduced by 15%
Theyril chest gold reward reduced by 30%
Reduced gold reward of Small Treasure Map by 74%
Reduced gold reward of Treasure Map by 66%
Reduced gold reward of Large Treasure Map by 50%
Reduced gold reward of Villages by 80%
The highest-end rare materials (Widowsilk, Celestial Soul etc) have been moved to large treasure map rewards from small treasure maps rewards.
Reduced the chance of getting a Small Treasure Map from fishing by 20%

LOVE the Primalist... Oh... wait! =(

hoping to see this prowess for skill and stats thing they r talking about it should eliminate macroing for skill and make it quite a bit faster from their description
was hoping to see it in this update :(

Outch, there goes my moneymakker... Reduced gold reward of Small Treasure Map by 74%... knew it could not last.

I am sorry to hear... Reduced gold reward of Villages by 80%... I was looking forward to the taking and controlling of villages.

The high end rares are going to be worth a ton... Glad we got a few.

Gold is going to mean something again... I knew this day would come, such a good thing does not last. I think it is a good change, and the right thing to do. Be fun to see how the economy develops.

It seems like they are making fine tunings I anticipated would come as they approach the launch date. This is good that they seem to be close to launching. Client is stable and now with the gold rewards brought in to line I wouldn't be surprised to see a launch date soon.

theres some rather tlarge things coming before a launch will be announced yet
a new system for leveling combat and stats using prowess
deconstruction
primalist
and to be honest some dungeons are needed

Until they add salvaging and primalist then we are no closer to launch than we are now. Really doesn't matter, we won't have everything in game they claim we will have. Dungeons will be an after thought for the first couple months after launch. I hope it's not, but I have a hunch the dungeons won't be done.

Not being negative in any way here - but I am saying the Greeks will launch this before you all get what you want in. I think we will be playing for real soon.
