The village the quest is situated in is a part of the countryside gmap
Originally our plan was to have this quest link in with actually releasing countryside for christmas.
Ultimately the quest was delayed and wasn't made in time for various reasons.
The plan was to have the quest play through and for people to able to back to the quest village and for it to the entry point to countryside as a big surprise.
This isn't happening now, obviously- and i'm sorry it's not. I feel partly responsible for this because i was in charge of having this quest made and finishing preparations for some aspects of countryside and it didn't go particularly well (a perfect storm of problems, though there's nobody particularly responsible for it being delayed)
It should've been a bigger surprise and all in one update. I'm sorry it's late, but it is coming- i can't say when because it's up to how quickly we can get the rest of the content done.
Thank you for your understanding and your patience
