Nothing's decided yet for sure, but Uiqua has some general ideas for the next upgrade:

A booster (24h, 7 days, 30 days)can be bought for souls:

Greed Booster:
+ 15% traveling time of traveling merchant
+ 25% more gold (dungeons, raids)

Power Booster:
+ 20% more points for each production
+ 20% more honour in the arena

When the upgrade starts, every player gets the power booster for 7 days to test for free.
Every newly rgistred player gets the power booster for free for 7 days to advance faster.
Can not be sold.[color=#408000]


Pacts

Players can come together in unions of 5 (regardless of their guild membership and level). One boss and four members.

Every saturday at 0h a pact competition start, lasting til sunday 23:59h

Aim of this: Collect as many chopped heads as possible from the opponents which drop in pvp-combat. Lower levels get the same amount as higher levels, so there is no disadvantage for lower levels.

The 3 pacts wih the most heads get honour and according to their position in the competition a booster.

Foundation of a pact costs 30 souls (one time). 15 of those go to the pact bank account.
To participate in a pact competition you have to pay a starting charge of 5 souls (one per player).

If you're interested in the discussion surrounding the future upgrade:
Some stated they would prefer Chapter 3 to be released rather than pacts.
Some are worried about the soul price on market and that it will reach the 100k mark. And that the game is focused too much on souls.
Some look forward to it.
Some are concerned about the "fairness" low to high level.
UIQUA stated that he wanted some constructive criticism to make the upgrade as good for US PLAYERS as possible.
Someone say the point bonus is not a good idea.

Thanks. I will have to drag our my Google translate and go look on the German Server.

Uiqua:

"We‘re already working on chapter 3

This only concerns pacts and booster. This doesn‘t mean that other areas are neglected because of this. Pacts is supposed to be a little pvp-feature. No competition to guilds is wanted – so in conclusion no pact army, inventory etc.

Pacts shall be an element for really active players who log in more than once a day. Here you shall not be waited for once.

We‘re thinking about how to handle bloodthirst. A possibility: Pact members can refresh their bloodthirst with gold – only during pact competition (saturday and sunday). Amount of gold depends on level.

Soul costs: We know how much free souls come into your inventory every day. So this is not the world.

There are still no specific costs for the boosters. But we think they will be more valuable than 1 month premium.

We are looking forward to more constructive ideas. There were some good."

My Armory works, today and I have lots of Gold, thank you so much.

New statements of Uiqua:

Soul players do not have an advantage, because you can refresh your bloodthirst with gold.

Regarding the balance: You get 1-3 heads when you lose and when you win you get 5-8 heads. (The numbers aren‘t fixed, but an example)

To increase the number of pacts and therefore competition the amount of members can be reduced to 3 instead of 5.

To increase the equality of the chance to win, the system founds automatically different groups when the competition starts. One group will consist of 5 randomly picked pacts. These 5 pacts compete for the first place with each other. So the chance ot win is higher and every winner will get the winning prize within each group.

So we think it‘s all fair and square since you do not know which pacts you will have to fight.
This ensures that it will be exciting to see who will win every WE.

Time plan: We didn‘t start with the realization.

If the pacts cannot be divided through 5:

When 1 pact remains it has bad luck and does not participate (starting charges will be payed back). When there are 2 or more pacts in surplus they are lucky and will participate in a smaller group.

Thanks, st0rm

Latest and last post of Uiqua regarding this subject:

Thank all of you for your positng here.

Pacts and Boosters will be postponed, because there still has to be done some work to make them fair and square.

Therefore we will work on a Content-Patch first

[Azmeera]

Yay! I'd prefer a content patch myself. I think the pacts could be rather interesting, and I'm ambivalent about the boosters, but a pure content patch sounds like exactly what the game needs more of.
