1st Dungeon just Released!
Be the first test out our 1st dungeon-- Barrow Pass! The Outcast Hand is a band of bandits. They look... familiar somehow. As always, we value your opinion and want you to run these things over and over, looking for issues, or generally telling us how you feel about some of our choices.
"I'm Ready!!!" you say? "Let me at em!" as you brandish your awesome weapon "Charge!!!!!"

I'm all for jumping in blindly and swinging away like a crazed warrior, but since this Pre-Beta there may be some things you might want to read first.
Take The Dungeon By Storm...
When running the dungeon you will randomly be placed in an instance with a different group each time (#PreBeta). This will give you a chance to meet new players and help them along their journey. Once we have Party systems in place that will all change, but for now... share the love.

Tovus the Bladedog is incredible strong... strong in strength, and in smell.
I'm In The Dungeon... What Now?
Our dungeons can be all sorts of things, they can be rooms of a tower, parts of a cave, a forest, cloud city, mausoleums, whatever our minds can think up. They can be big in scale or small. There is one thing that each dungeon will have, and that is an objective. The objective could be to defeat all the enemies, or it could be to pull the lever and open the door, or even assemble the statue to open the portal. So if you are playing and the portal to the next cell is not active, then there must be an objective not yet complete.

"Energy" & the Science of Dungeons...
Running a dungeon will require "Energy" (Temporary Name, #PreBeta) Dungeon energy points regenerate at 1 point per 3 hours, real-time. this will allow us to give extremely good rewards from short bursts of play while keeping it fair for people who can only play a little. It will also go a long way to discourage people from 'bot farming" these instanced dungeons. This is a new system, so give it a try and tell us what you think
Now... ONTO THE DUNGEONS!
That's all from me for now. Now, my friends the dungeon awaits! Visit Robina at Barrow Point by travelling towards the right when you first enter Greenguard North from Battleon! (past the Grotto entrance) Alternatively, you can use /join forestlobby
