    I have been gone for over a year... so, clearly I have missed some of KAG's history between then and now... I have a big question that I'd like to ask. I'm sure this question may have been asked and/or answered already but still, please don't lock this thread. I would just like my question to be answered in the context that I'm asking it in:


    When I left, the devs were planning to expand the game in huge ways (far beyond just the new "Take the Halls" mode they've added).

    Here's a picture I remember from then:

    This picture is from the dev blog. It features a diverse set of classes that you evolve your character with as you progress in the game. I remember the day this picture was posted. I was very excited. This was one gameplay promise along with many others: boats, a new huge game mode with adventure and battle between huge teams, extensive development structure, etc... Unfortunately, shortly after these announcements, I stopped playing the game for personal reasons. I was very dissapointed that I wouldn't be able to experience this beautiful new game mode.

    Recently, I bought KAG again, so excited to see how the game had progressed and to play the long awaited game mode that I never got to try. To my dismay, nothing of the sort had been added to the game. Just a new game mode called "Take the Halls" (at least boats had been added). I still love this game dearly. But my big question is... WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS?!

    Basically, it didn't made the cut because the amount of time it would take to implement these features did not fit dev deadlines.
    I believe this and this posts will answer most of your questions about developers position on this.

    There was a community effort to build something similar to an open, sandbox environment in kag, but it recently died due lack of programmers willing/able to take it over.

    At the moment, your best chance of getting something similar to the overworld in kag (which seems to be a popular request) lies on modding.

    Oh... Ok... I feel a bit bad about that but I guess it would take away that fast-paced action feel of KAG, anyway... No matter what, I love ye, me ol' faithful KAG!
