You all keep asking me when Tier 8 is going to be out, and with all the downtime we have had lately I feel the need to keep you guys up to date on what is happening. First off, Tier 8 is still being worked on. It is not cancelled or anything. What is done so far: -Two of the 3 large areas are finished -A large portion of the third area is built

-All of the class armor sets for the bulk of the content are created

-Many new plugins and systems have been added and tested

-Many monsters have been created

-Lots of content has been planned out What is left to do: -The majority of NPC creation -All quests still need to be set up and written

-All NPC dialogue will have to be done

-The third area needs to finish being built

-Many new items still need to be created

-A secret class is being developed. We'll see who can unlock it once it's out ; ) -A few new systems need to be tested (Mainly lotto boxes which generate items by using keys dropped by bosses on them). All in all, I would say we are passed the halfway point on the update. This will be the largest update TerrorCraft has ever had, and will provide tons of gameplay for players. Most importantly, tons of new systems and content will be added in this update that can then be used to update other areas of the game (such as classes being added to earlier areas of the game, or lower tiered lotto boxes, and the addition of group-oriented boss fights and dungeons for lower tier players to complete to get new gear to help them progress). This is an exciting and original update, and I hope you will all stick around until it is out, as this one is not to be missed!

Here is a little teaser screenshot of a new area for the update. This is a small part of an abandoned town, filled to the brim with hordes of horrors that players will have to bash their way through to find various NPCs and quest items, and even mini-bosses and the like.

Here is another (very dark) pic of the location for the final boss of the area. This is a ghost ship, located off of a small port with an underground tunnel system. There will be quests here as well as the boss fight. This will eb a group-oriented boss fight that will utilize the strengths of the different classes.
