The highly anticipated NEStalgia v1.20 update is primed and ready to go. This update will not only add an incredible amount of depth and customization options for character statistics, it also comes with 2 brand new character classes and expanded story content. There are tons of new quests and treasure chests to be found, not to mention more powerful bosses to fight. Last but not least -- new daily quests, casino games and gear rewards will ensure that players will have lots to do even after reaching the max level.

For detailed information on this update (including links to lots of screenshots), see the NEStalgia v1.20 Update Notes.

The good news is that you won't have to wait long to dive into v1.20. The release date for this major update is this Thursday (8.26) at 4:00 PM PST.

Both new and returning players alike will have a lot to look forward to in this update. Gather your friends and join us for the celebration on Thursday and through the weekend!

People haven't been playing because they "beat" the game. Now that there is more to do (and to keep them around), I'm sure they'll return in droves.

On top of that, my external promotional campaign is going to begin soon!

Is there more to do this time around when you "beat" it again?

Perhaps if you'd read the first paragraph or clicked on the link to the update notes, you'd already know the answer to that question :P

Oh boy, now I really need to get around to actually progressing or else I'll be stuck at the start of the game while everyone else mops up the end-game. :(

Thursday at 4? God damn it that is exactly the time I head into work. Guess I'll have to wait till I get off work that day to play it.

Thursday? God damn it that is the day I report to my boat. Guess I'll have to wait for about four months or more to actually play it.

Waiting a few hours doesn't seem so bad by comparison, eh?

Damn that sucks. Well, you'll be missed (although maybe not so much by other tournament contenders!).

I suppose not, but I'll be back to wipe the floor with all of them in due time. Hell, if my boat isn't deploying I might be around for the release tomorrow, ya never know.

I was talking more end game. To me playing a casino game to get loot isn't as fun as say some 2-3 dungeons meant for max level with a boss that you can kill once every so often (day/week) that has a chance at dropping a rare item.

Again, those links would have brought you here:

Sanctum End Game: http://www.byond.com/members/ SilkGames?command=view_post&post=100417

...plus they would have told you that The Black Sanctum itself (a "real" end game dungeon") is on the way shortly.
