I like to leave the 9Dragons IRC channel open on my laptop while I play. Even if I don't chat much, I get the chance to see what the GM/VGM's are thinking, or talking about. Regular contact with the GM's has helped us a few times and it's a habit I'm going to continue with. One of the better parts about listening in to their conversations is the rumors and hints that I see, and let me share a few of them with you.

There will be a Euro-zone PvP server in the near future. Acclaim is only waiting on a multi-language advertising deal before they go ahead with this.

BluFlash is looking for translators for the Turkish language. Apparently it's the last major translation project in the game.

There will be new dungeons, on the Icy map no less.

There are some new weapons coming, with some new attributes. I've already seen 3-slot weapons and I'm sure there are now 4 slot weapons out there too. The next round will see high critical hit percentages too.

For you PvP players, the dungeons will start dropping CK defense clothes that are even better than the current set of WD 4 pocket clothes. I suspect they'll only be useful for PvP, because the current stuff is pretty good for PvE. I would love to have more details on this.

And lastly, you'll soon be able to trade coin mall items in-game. We knew that was coming though.

With all these new ideas my suggestions are simple. Start hording BE again, because with a new set of weapons to play with, many players will start the refining craziness again. And start collecting dungeon passes too, so we can all get a set of the new CK def clothes.
