Can somebody from OOO please answer this seriously:
When are we getting actual NEW content?

When I say new content, I don't mean dinky little useless re-skinned costumes or other useless aesthetics, I mean like actual enemies, bosses, levels, events, things to do/kill. As a veteran player, I, along with many others, have been trying to find ways this game "fun" again but it often results in failure. This is due to the fact that almost every aspect of the game by the point where we are at is either extremely repetitive, or just plain undesirable. Although it may just be as simple as we overplayed the game but everyday more and more veteran (usually P2P) players are leaving the community. OOO, you need to add new things for us to stay interested.

On that note, how long must we wait? Last time a "big update" happened, it was the Guild Hall update and although it was good, it was not worth the almost year and a half long wait that we endured since it was first announced. Think about it, it took you guys a year and a half to put out a decent update tha actually had a minor impact on the major aspects of gameplay. Sure it's keeping the economy (which is terrible) somewhat balanced for what it is, but it shouldn't have taken tht long to push it out. Now, I see announcements for pets and new bug enemies. These actually seem pretty cool but when are we going to see them? If it took 1.5 years to put out an update of almost no impact on the game, how long will it be to see updates that actually add new elements or that change existing elements in the gameplay? You people need to stop focusing on draining people of their money with these useless promotions and start trying to keep the players who have been playing (and paying) for a while by adding this new content.

To the community reading this: Listen, this thread isn't intended for me to b***h at OOO, but rather to get them to realize what they need to do to keep players' interests. You could agree or you could disagree with what I said, but I'm just giving my two cents.

In 2 days they'll open the test servers :P New content will be likely by the end of the month.

I like turtles.

@Little-Juances They have opened the test servers to try out early stages of future updates before. That doesn't mean that they'll be guaranteed to come out soon. Also, you stop checking announcements once you realize it's 90% random patches and promotions.

If youve done ANY video game

If youve done ANY video game testing, updates via tests always come out 1-3 weeks to a couple months after testing. More than likely the update will be out before the end of the month since this game is far less complex than others when it comes to testing updates.

test server is usually open 1 week

then update goes pop.

Honestly, i would be willing to wager CE that the update comes in 2 weeks or less.

That said, the new update (including new levels and little enemies) is considered new content. The battle sprites (no word on when) are also new content, with new missions attached. OP, we all know these are incoming, and while i appreciate your zeal to keep playing this game, there is a way to ask, and i'm afraid your post isn't quite it.

Test Server.

I cannot get into the test servers myself, so I cannot judge these updates for myself.

Good or bad, they are NEW levels and NEW enemies.
It may not be as exciting as a boss and new weapon but it's still something important.

Dat-Nutz, you should go buy a

Dat-Nutz, you should go buy a software that lets you make videos - then record no damage taken FSC (if that's boring and just requires attention, then move to Shadow Lairs or Danger Missions).

I would also try going for great UVs on stuff. Make a hipster set (Royal Jelly ftw!) that has just perfect UVs. Get some sweet accessories, the extreme rarity of iron lockboxes is what makes them fun, like when you get prismatic glow eyes (WOOT!) it feels that much better after tons and tons of lockboxes.

Or you could do what I did but do it better, start some newbie giveaway (mine absolutely failed, I didn't update it and forgot about it for some time but some people took over for a while so at least some newbies were possibly turned into gunners! sorry swordies)

I've seen the Test Server.

Your specified "new content" is coming soon.

Patience, young padawan.
