In his recent interview with MMOzine, Positron said that they're planning "a new summer blockbuster event" - but didn't give anymor details - so that meams we'll now have an even for spring, summer, fall and winter, which sound snice and complete .

He also said that there'll be 3 Issues this year - 22, 23 and 24.

Plus:

There'll be "some new things that players have never seen before" for the 8th aniversary,

They've sketched out a few ideas for the 10th anniversay.

Even though it's quite old, they're still just scratching the surface of the engine.

I want a platypus vanity pet that despawns when you enter a mission and respawns when you exit!

It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

they were scratching the surface of the game engine a couple of years ago, i'm excited to see what they do honestly. You got a link?

I expect pretty standard "features" with extras that can be market-purchased.

Weapons back pieces please.
I think is time already.
Would be cool to have a beach event, surfing or having to do missions at the beach. Maybe even swinsuits costume pieces.

More likely I22, I22.5, and I23. I know they call the valentine event a spring event but it's not really in the spring it's still in the winter so we have a fall event two winter events and now a summer event, now to actually get a spring event that takes place in the spring would be nice too.

Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

He said 22, 23 and 24 - any mini-Issues would be extra.
I22 should be live later this month or early in March - so that leaves another 9 months for the next 2 full Issues.

Minor researching skills are your friends.

Especially when the preview of the issue was posted about a week ago by Beastyle.

Find the link yourself. There was enough information in the post to find it in literally 5 seconds.

I hope the summer event is a trial like the Halloween event.

A summer Trial would be cool - we've already got a winter and fall one - and eventually we might get a spring Trial too

Not true. It took me at least 8.

you're = Contraction meaning "You are."

Yes can we stop scratching and start digging at it. The plastic hero models need an upgrade to look more realistic.

This sounds kind of exciting, but I'm not really sure what it means. The implication seems to be that there is a lot more under the surface of the engine (read: potential for major new features) than anyone realizes or knows about. I am somewhat skeptical of this because it is difficult to reconcile how the following two facts, stated in these forums, could be true at the same time:
  • The engine is 10 years old and still capable of major new features.
  • Features like dynamic mission content and smarter mobs are simply impossible, presumably because the engine is so old and architecturally inflexible (usually phrased as "the engine can't support it").

It means that the success of "Freedom" has generated more than enough income to justify the dedication of more resources to developing new stuff. This is no different than how the Booster packs generated the money to fund Ultra Mode and other features.

That's like saying "We can't make any more blue dye" and "we can add more colors of dyes" are incompatible. It just means that while they can do more, it can't be blue.

One possible plan might be for a Praetorian Hamidon Trial in an I22.5, and then a Tyrant Trial in I23, to go with the removal of Statesman from the game, as a kind of "clearing the decks" for the Coming Storm, which could be the foucs of I24 - which would be sometime in fall/winter, so the Coming Storm would tie in well with all the 2012 silliness that would be around at the time
