Black Prophecy launched about three weeks ago in Europe and is currently in closed beta in North America. Patrick Streppel, a member of gamigo's executive board, has written a lengthy letter to players outlining the game's current status and the team's future plans. For example, it looks like station walking will be added to the game next year. Here are the highlights from the letter:

• In response to criticism that the game isn't "finished," Streppel said that "all involved parties are 100% dedicated not only to perfecting the current game but to bringing so much more to it."
• Small monthly content updates are planned, as well as larger add-on updates about every three months. These add-ons will boost the level cap and add new content in the form of missions, items and so on.
• The first major add-on is scheduled to launch in June and will include a new mission hub and open world sector set for levels 41-50. It will also feature a new weapon type, an e-mail system, an improved user interface and more.
• Long-term goals include a stronger focus on PvP, clan station fights, more exploration elements and new gameplay modes. An expansion next year will allow your character to walk around stations and interact with NPCs.
