With our new Task we have already started, So far we have decided on starting from a Fresh TC Revision, Which should fix quite a lot of issues, But I will let the video Explain the rest!, We have however added the Questions & our answers below the video.
PLEASE! Don't hesitate to post some Suggestions/Questions in this thread & I myself & Daniel will answer as best as possible!

Some of these Questions might not be in the same Prefix as asked on the Video & some might not even be on the video!
Are you Keeping all talents/spells intact so people don't have to re-learn them & re-enabling the disabled ones?
We will be keeping all Talents/Spells that are currently learnt, The same, we will also be Re-enabling 90% of the disabled spells & fixing up the ones that are currently broken as well.
New instances/Quests/Raids?
We will be Introducing a few new Raids/Dungeons, But we won't be going out of our way to make All Raids/Dungeons fit the new Revision, Quests on the Other hand... We will be Re-doing all Quests from 1-255 Including all quests past that level, We feel that, well they just aren't helpful enough to players & 90% of them have incorrect data.
Will Quest become simplified?
Quests will be quite a bit easier, But will still require a mild Mind & actual enthusiasm to complete, Rather than "kill 1 of to receive..." We felt that it was just too... standard lol...
What's happening with the Item stats bonus?
We realise that the main downfall of the item sets at the moment is the Stats you receive, 60% of the Sets have incorrect stats, We will be going through all sets making sure they are balanced & give everyone a fair chance of Either, Surviving or killing.
whats happening with pvp on the next patch?
To be honest... We feel that their is a huge lack of PvP on remorse, Granted all you pretty much see is people pvping outside of Raids/Dungeons, but that isn't pvp at all... We will be looking into ways of getting people into pvping, Even if it means adding requirements to pvp sets for battlegrounds, or giving extra "RP" items for Honor.
What is happening with the hackers?
As of the moment our Anti-Cheat is "passive" Which just isn't good enough to detect all hackers, We will be looking into a new AC in the weeks/Month to come & finding out which one offers the best protection against these small minded players, But rest assured, They will be taken care of, But I'd also like to let everyone know, that even though there is a lack of action via our AC, It is still active & does take action against quite a few People, Just not enough for remorse it seems.
How are you going to Counter Power leveling?
With our new system, Players will start out inside a dungeon with a requirement of level 1-254 to enter, So if you are level 255, you won't be able to enter the leveling Dungeon, it pretty much makes boosting impossible, But with our new quest/dungeon system, i don't see why anyone would want to get boosted, when they could just quest for about an hour & reach 255 in No time (:.
What about the world pvp attraction?
At the moment i think the World PvP attraction is quite reasonable, However not to the point where it's being done in the world arenas, There isn't really much we can do about this type of thing... It's something that we would need to sit down with the Concept team & talk about
Will you be introducing any new Gear sets?
As of the moment we don't feel that Remorse is in need of any more Gear sets/Upgrades, it does however require a lot of TLC, so until we feel that Remorse is back on track, I highly doubt anyone will see any more Gear sets being added to the game, Unless it's a custom Re-skin/Rename Which can be brought on our VIP Request forum.
Current anti-cheat on remorse? How does it work?
This question mainly relates to our "What is happening with the hackers" Question, like i said Our current anti-Cheat is passive, Which is definitely not what remorse needs, So we are going to look more into an offensive AC, which attacks players (not physically) But it monitors all Data changes & running applications, I'm not going to go into detail about it, But i can say that it's definitely on our top5 of things to do for Remorse.
what action will we take against Ninja Looting?
The issue with Ninja looting is that no matter what, People will always find a way, be it Master Loot change in the middle of a fight, Or via Need/Greed & just needing on everything, Which is something that we can't really control, however we are considering disabling Master looting in all, (I say this VERY lightly, it's just a idea that was thrown about) & adding a rule about Need/Greed, Where you can need on your own class items, But if you need on everything & then leave, obviously if the others didn't consent, You can be reported & action would be taken, even if it meant losing the items which He/She needed on, Like i said, that was just an idea that was thrown about, This is another issue that we would need to Get with the concept team & figure something out that is best for everyone & not just convenient for few.
What about new Events? & why are there so few at the moment?
I've been on Remorse for about 7 Months(Short time O.O) & i have barely seen any events happening on remorse, IT is not due to the lack of effort/Interest in Staff, It's down to the amount of Capable & Ranked staff members that we have... Which is very.. Very few, So few that there is only roughly 8~ events over all the realms each week, 99% of which are just "kill this npc", We want to bring in some people that are bound only by Remorse, that can do events When They & we see fit, Ranging from, Kill this boss, Run from A-B, Kill this in x time, 2v2/3v3/5v5/50v50/100v10 & many more, The problem is... People, we lack the resources to be able to do these type of events, hence why there are very few that are done... If more people Applied & stuck around, I'm sure there would be more, But like i said, We will definitely be finding a way of bringing more events to Remorse.
What about bringing City Conquest to the realm?
Myself & Daniel both agreed that it's a nice idea & would most likely be a lot of fun, Seeing as the cities aren't used for very much, But this isn't the type of thing that Myself/Daniel can decide on, It comes down to what the players & the other administration want, It's quite a huge change to the way remorse works & also takes quite a lot of resources to run, Especially on a realm like remorse where everything is custom & we have so much custom content... But we will eventually make a poll & find out what you guys want (:.
When is Class/Item balancing coming?
We are hoping to complete the balancing of Item sets/Classes late December/Early January, Obviously issues might arise that might slow down our completion of this, So this is just a rough estimate.
Hunters aren't good enough?
I don't think that hunters aren't really good enough, But i do think that they, among Warlocks do need to be looked at, Mainly to their pets though, But it also comes down into the same category as Balancing of Classes, We will be looking at all Classes To make sure they have an equal chance at Both survival & killing others.
Why do i Charge/Shadowstep Through the world?
We had a discussion about this in one of the admin meetings, Originally we thought it was to do with an Out-Dated V-map, But a few of our other Developers have said that there could be other issues that are causing it, So to be honest, we aren't 100% sure on what the issues is, But we will be updating our Vmaps on our New core, & we will see if that fixes the issue
How will we counter WPE Hacking?
This will be 100% controlled by our new Anti-Cheat & will pickup on anyone trying to Mod their damage, or Stat Stacking on items, This will definitely be stopped (:
What about the Guards that are Spawned?
We will still have a few Guards here & there just to keep players on their Toes, But seeing as we are changing the way our Leveling system works, we won't have a need for Them any more.
Why is Gold useless ATM?
As of the moment there is quite a lot of useless Items that you receive from Killing Bosses/Npcs, We are going to change the Requirements in our Next Revision so that people don't need to pick up unnecessary items to complete their quests/Goals, We will also be Re-looking at the Rates at which people receive items, & make it a little harder, Seeing as at the moment, You pretty much get everything you need from a single kill
What is the Remorse concept team? & how can i Join?
The Concept team is a group of Skilled/experienced Players that play & help the development of Remorse on a regular basis, We are always looking for more people to join the Team, all that you need to do is Contact Myself or Daniel via the Forums, "Ephixa" (ISY) "Daniel" (iDaniel) & we will take it from there!, Being on the remorse team isn't' like a helper, it's a job that is there to fix Remorse.
What about Custom zone for VIPs/High end pvpers?
I did mention in the Q&A that this idea would definitely be something that i would like to do, Mainly just as a place where they can chill & kill themselves, rather than players with no pvp experience, But it's quite far down on our list of Things to do.
Why so long on remorse update?
I can't go into full Detail, But i will say that Remorse 3.0, Was completed to a certain point of view, Which was "it's done but the rest is cba", Which isn't what Myself & Daniel wanted, With the Absences of Devo, Myself & Daniel Requested a meeting with Cyph3r/Gregarious/Mattmeck & asked for a chance to Re-form Remorse & we were granted our Wish That is all i can say at this point in time.
ETA on remorse 4.0?
We are hoping to Release 4.0 Early January to late February, I know it's quite a long time, But we have a lot to do, & Only myself & Daniel are the ones with the Development experience to make it happen, The other Dev's are Tied down to the Other Realms/Projects, We mainly rely on our Concept team, So if you want to help, Apply For a Dev position!, or contact Myself or Daniel for a chance to join the Concept Team!

but it's still a good idea
