“As the game moves closer and closer to Alpha, we’re working to finalize key systems that support the core game loop. As part of this update, The Fortunes of War, a key focus for the team is ensuring new player success. To support new player engagement (and teach them the game!), we designed a new world type, God’s Reach, which offers players a safe and engaging world in which they can learn the basics of leveling, harvesting, crafting and combat. The narrative idea behind this world — and the fact that it is protected from PvP — is that this world is under the protection of the Gods, and that the player has been recruited here in the afterlife to prepare themselves to fight as a divine champion in the Sundering, the Final Battle.”
