- There will be old and new swag at the Meet Up after the PAX East panel.
- Small Patch next week to fix some bugs!
- Navigating how they will give people another chance at items like the Bottle of Mist...
- Several lamannias for performance works. These fixes are aimed for high end game performance.
- Cosmetic storage could be a tab or something more intricate. They dont know if they want to give up working on something else to work on this just yet. Though they will when they have to time.
- Lamannia looking at the new epic destiny in the next two weeks (or so)
- Transfers may be fixed within the week, along with the patch.
- DDO has nothing to do with the OGL D&D Wizard of the Coast drama, it has its own license and it is not a tabletop game.
- They wont be able to do SSG to Holywood tie for the movie but they want to celebrate the movies release. They're not in the position to have direct conversation with the film makers. More about how they are going to interact with D&D movie hype as the time gets closer.
Fridays @ 4

- No retroactive rewards for long time VIP members
- They also would like to, but might not be able to do this, allow VIPs to swap spells in public; no need for taverns. VIPs also will have no cool down on spell swaps.
- Cloud mount will be ridden like a surf board; flying carpets wont be VIP mounts, not sure how they are ridden
- All rewards are linear, if you lose VIP and get it again, it will continue from where you left off. (No claiming 500 DDO points twice)
- Mid Year is the target time for the release of this new reward system.
- They are open minded to opening a 4th epic destiny tree access, but don't see the need to atm. also they don't want to show inactive trees but could go mid ways with us and let us have a 4th panel to cycle through inactive epic destinies.
- They are more aware of iconic completionist! The community spoke and Severlin would like to see it done.
- Races included in the remodeling of characters are Humans, Elves and Halflings.
- There was more discussed but most of it did not seem like it is on the table of action yet, so I decided to leave those out of this weeks Notes. Sometimes things discussed are just talk and I like to leave these notes for things that will happen for surely even if the dates are obscured. Hope you all enjoy!
