The Brighter Leek #19

Welcome to the 19th edition of The Brighter Leek.

We have been busy with the final polishing of the Botanist profession and it will launch very soon. Botanist is the first update in Project Milestone and we hope you are as excited about it as we are!

Once Botanist is launched, the technical team will move onto finishing update 2 - Milestones. This will be the second largest update we have ever made to the game (after the combat merge update), but with almost all of the graphics for milestones already complete, we are in a really great position to crack on with it.

The content and graphics team are focusing on the new side quests, bounties and minigames. To give you an idea of when you will see these updates, the side quests will be launched when they are ready, but the new bounties and minigames will not launch until after milestones.
