An announcement for an announcement. Maybe they'll announce that they are working on yet another side project that promises not to take away from the actual game development.
A major feature of Update 0.15 is the introduction of FSR’s first Season Pass, offering a bevy of cosmetic rewards and free Gems to unlock! While this first Season Pass will serve as a preview for what you can expect in FSR’s full release, there are still plenty of goodies to earn while you play. Progress to unlock new champion portraits, different effects for sprint trails, character skins, weapon skins, and free in-game currency!
FSR’s Season Pass is structured so that you gain experience through simply playing the game. Every trophy you earn in a given match – whether it be from completing objectives, reviving allies, or killing a whole lot of monsters, will help you progress in the Season Pass. Additionally, you can utilize the brand new Quests system to gain experience. Quests provide you with tasks to complete in matches, will cycle every day, and can be refreshed once a day if you don’t like one that you start with.
The Season Pass has a total of 20 levels with rewards in both free and premium tiers. In the future, we’re looking to implement a system by which players will continue to receive a static reward at set intervals after they reach the level cap of a given pass. Don’t worry, there’s no fear of missing out involved – all rewards from a given pass will transition to the in-game store at the end of a season to ensure that players can still get anything they missed out on. Our inaugural Season Pass will run from December 13th to January 17th, and we’re so excited for you to hop in game and test things out! This pre-release season has some special one-time-only rewards based on early concept art, not to mention additional late term progression rewards in the form of character portraits. So keep an eye out and fight well, Champions!

It's so pathetic at this point, I'm actually laughing at it now. I mean lesson learned on my end. Legacy game creators have no fucking clue how to make a game anymore. Lightning has not struck twice for any of these old school OG MMO creators. Garriot (of UO), Jacobs (DAOC), McQuaid (RIP but EQ). The newer younger studios are doing better at getting a game out at the very least. They might not be able to make it good, but they at least release it. 12+ years later and we're finally "Progressed" tp get announcements about announcements. They aren't even releasing concept art anymore lol.
All that time in development will finally pay off with season pass, since like, nobody plays this game.
I just looked, all time peak 37 players...24 hour peak 1 player lol. Who the hell do they think is going to buy this pass the literal 1 player trying to play this?
So are we just not getting a very inside joke or are these guys just really aloof? I mean an announcement about an announcement sometime early next year? What is early next year? Jan 1 or may 30th? These guys are just beyond lost at this point.
this game has totally left my mind as a viable mmo to look forward to, to the point that until this article I had completly forgot it existed and this comes from a day 1 DAoC player
