Shout out to @Zackery for doing way too much of that lately. You the real MVP, man.
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby

Your words quietly thrum through the air as you say, "Quest."

The quest "Restocking the Tavern" has been added to your log. QUEST LOG will display your active quests.

You say in a monotonous voice, "Work."

It is already the biggest single release ever on Achaea. Admin said in the Discord chat yesterday that it was not done yet, either.
Please don't be so negative while asking the same question and ignoring responses.
To answer your question, they promised there would be a part 3. Even if they hadn't explicitly mentioned it, the fact that there's still a massive amount of turmoil (and none of the plotlines they started here have wrapped up, at all) is a good indicator that there's a lot more to come.
I don't mean this as a knock at you, but more directly at this kind of behavior as a whole - making new areas is really hard. Making cohesive, immersive events is really hard. This is pretty clearly a massive project (whole new planes, tons of quests, lots of intricate details popping up for those interested) with a lot of thought and effort put behind it, probably by many different hands. What is the point in trying to undermine that by bring up the hyping that the admin (maybe unintentionally) gave it? It was an offhand detail that kind of spiraled into a thought experiment for everyone as to what the 'biggest release' might be. The result is that it's almost never going to live up to everyone's individual expectations - it's more worthwhile to offer constructive criticism, if you have it, at individual pieces. If by your own admission you haven't been reading what was posted, then what's the point in asking if it was 'over hyped'?
Volunteers and admin aren't fragile things that need to be coddled, but they also don't really deserve vague off-the-cuff criticism without substance. Let the whole thing at least play out before you start knocking it down.
I can say that I’ve really enjoyed this release so far, been having a blast figuring out the areas and getting that juicy explorers xp. Might be able to crack the top 30 at this rate, which is pretty cool for me.
This has been awesome, the rest will be even more awesome. My only complaint is this all comes the week before finals, so ya boy is struggling to find enough time for everything!

- 50% of the new physical areas have yet to be opened (so like ~800 rooms to go?)
- 70% of the total development into the Big Release (new mechanics, etc. etc. etc.) has yet to go live
I.e., we literally haven't seen the half of it.And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Makarios and I have pretty much nothing at all to do with the other IRE projects, so Starmourn's development has no bearing on Achaea and our release plans or development schemes. Our sole focus is Achaea, and we'd never undercut the experience or our dedicated efforts here because something is going on elsewhere.
Personally, I've been continually amazed that IRE could move the flagship's producer to a new project, and replace him with not one but two fully capable and driven producers here on Achaea. To me that says a lot about the health of IRE. Keep up the amazing work for forever, please!
