Community Update: Week 15

This is what happened since the last community update:

Easter Event

Easter is approaching slowly, the same goes for the Easter Event in Grepolis… and it already started in Poland last Tuesday! The release date for all other markets is set to Monday, April 14th.

Beta Update 2.59

The development of the new Grepolis Update 2.59 has been finished on Friday. The latest changes have already been deployed on our beta environment (http://beta.grepolis.com). This version features some improvements for recruiters in the alliance finder and better handling of exclusive heroes in the game.

The current update schedule is the following:

  • April, 15th: NL, SE and SK markets;
  • April, 16th: international roll-out.

Full Screen Town Overview

Good news! We are finally ready to release the full screen town overview on beta for your testing pleasure! The activation will be done on Thursday, April 10th in the morning. Make sure to take a look at it and feel free to share with us your feedback and report bugs you find!

Current Progress

On Monday, our team has started working on the development of version 2.60. This sprint is going to be again a technical sprint so there won’t be much to see. We are also working on a new special hero of wisdom, not available for recruitment, which will be given out to players under certain circumstances.

    A wrong date for the beginning of the Easter event was mentioned. This has been corrected. 😉
    Of course it’s the 14th of April!

    Too bad there’s no news week after week on what the whole community is waiting for…. the end game revamp ! 🙁

    Please start talking about it in your next week’s update, it has been a year since community has been talking about it (the average time a speed 2 server takes to reach end game!!!)… what ideas are being discussed, how are you going to put fighting as important part of end game. what timeline in terms of weeks/months you see this being put in beta and then the main game…

      Questions like this are best asked on your local community forum, as your community manager probably knows more about this. 😉
