Greetings, Kinnies!
As you undoubtedly know, Update 14: Paths of the Dead is now live. Sapience has issued the Release Notes (or Patch Notes) here. Please read them. They contain information that you need to know, such as, class changes and UI changes. Epic Storyline Volume IV is free to all players. Essences also have been released. Read about them in the Patch Notes. Currently there is No Developer Diary on anything in Update 14.
The letter from Executive Producer Aaron "Rowan" Campbell has also been released. Read it here. There are some interesting comments within the letter. You may wish to compare this letter with the earlier one which has been archived. There are some differences. One teaser: Something about LIs....
