Community Questions

New Glim sinks coming
Plasma fishing coming later stop asking
More stuff in store coming to buy with cubits (Adventure update in a couple months)
Next Class teaser: Physical damage class, It Can use a bow or a sword (your choice)
Possible New Profession coming with Adventure update
Sky Realm club worlds might be a possibility
Healing based class probably not going to happen (they like classes to be self-sufficient) but adding "support" abilities/mechanics. MAAAAYBE if the class could summon a tank that would fight for it and the class would keep it alive. Eventually a pet class coming (might have a healing mechanic)
Mini treasure chests from dungeon creation guide not happening. - Boss improvements have priority (but not coming in the next few weeks)
Mod approval goes through Avarem first then to be approved/declined by the rest of the team
Fire Sage is not going to be in game soon because it's too far off theme
Many Glim/Fishing botters have been banned - economic impact has been minimal
More chest space coming
Space biome? Astronaut class? might be possible.. but definitely not in the next 4 months
