Developer Snippets – 8th March 2014

There aren’t too many news titbits this week, mainly relating to Rowan’s intentions for the game and himself as the new Executive Producer and the pushback of U13 on BR.

• U13 Bullroarer testing pushed back to next week
• Bullroarer added to the list of Taking The Hobbit to Isengard participating servers + schedule changes
• Plans for Rowan to release another letter around the launch of U13
• Rowan explains current development direction – Comparison of 2014 to year after SoA launch is a ‘close approximation’, involving regular landscape content updates and updates to systems, although he realises that that period is a loaded term for players – Priority is moving the story and growing the world
• He intends to do quarterly letters at least, more appearances on streams as well as on the forums. (Credit to Frickinmuck for regular transcriptions of the Hobbit streams)
