• There will be a feedback after reform.
• To create weeks of bonuses in the manner of weeks from Heroes of Might and Magic, the newspaper will launch a competition to collect ideas from players, the best ideas will be used in the future.
• It will happen after the newspaper asks for examples of weeks and approves the prize fund.

• Daily bonuses shall be added.
• Work with the initiative group is productive and will be continued.

• A re-balance of defensive builds is planned.

• Possible re-balancing of "Shadow barbarian", for example, change in Ogre health, in order to avoid gameplay from a single stack of monsters.
• Damage of ''Hellfire'' will be changed in order for it to not feel over-powered, but still playable. In other words, either the damage shall be returned to what it was before the fix, but it will make physical damage instead of magical, or max damage will be increased to 350-400.
• The increase of chaos players will, most likely, be done through items, which increase the initiative of hero.
• New rings will be added to compete against ''Ring of Cold'' They will have same stats, but no ignoring of magical defences.
• There are no changes planned for Necromancers.
• No changes are planned concerning the 13th skill level.
• In the small tournament there is a sorting of rivals depending on the success of the player's fights in a particular tournament.
• It is planned to change the survival tournament so that more new players can participate in it.
• The "Mass Disruption ray" will not change, since it will affect the balance too much.

• The purpose of the Mirror of Change was to see how much gold players are willing to spend for an auto-fight, and make auto-fights available for mobile devices, for example in Hunters' Guild and Mercenaries' Guild, so that players can click mirror, and activate auto-fight. (c) Maxim (adm).
• The problem with the use of the Mirror of Change in Commanders' Guild will be solved.
• In winter, most likely, there will be a thematic action. For the sword of cold, maybe.
• The Alternative of the dwarves is planned this year, almost all the creatures' skills have been completed. It remains to finish the ability of the faction: we want to leave the runes, because the dwarves go well with them, and at the same time remake the runes. For example, now the idea is something like this: some runes give a creature for the whole fight some kind of buff: defense, attack, modifier; Another rune determines the power of previous rune (depends on the abilities of the dwarves). But also it will be a tactical component - now this creature has a boost for the remaining fight. Let's say, +1 speed for the whole fight, depending on enemy, you can choose a different rune in another fight. (c) Maxim (adm)
