It's ready for release I believe

[Jamesvsthekraken]

Aye, I agree same here. Either they really want to get this on Live before Halloween and they're trying to release something even "bigger" next or they just want to get it on Live before Halloween.

I really think that they're planning to release a follow-up to the Black Spot by Halloween...

Hope so. I love the idea of the Black Spot thing leading to the new story.

[Nate Swordwalker]

As do I. I am pumped about this.

[Chimera Doll]

Aye, I agree with the above posters.

I just thought I'd ask since I haven't done the quest (though I'm on test). It's written "You're hand doesn't look like it contains an evil curse of doom" when you type "/hand". Is that meant to be sarcastic, as in saying that you do have it? And I don't think we can be 100% sure that it's the Black Spot.

LOL Disney, whats a loot sac? That was the beta name for the current loot POUCH.
