Last we heard, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/hi-rez-studios">Hi-Rez Studios</a> was considering adding more "open" mission areas around Dome City, giving players an open-world feel to their game. Well, Hi-Rez's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/erez-goren">Erez Goren</a> stopped by the forums on Saturday <a href="http://forum.globalagendagame.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=142&amp;t=14897&amp;start=0&amp;st=0&amp;sk=t&amp;sd=a">to lay out the full plans</a> for not only the areas outside of Dome City, but also for some new weapons appearing in the game, new maps in AvA, and new options to help agencies compete and hold ground in AvA. All of this is scheduled on a very ambitious timetable -- available by the end of March. If certain features become pushed back or delayed, Hi-Rez will also reconsider extending their current "free subscription" policy.<br />
<br />
However, it was surprising to find that the open-world areas mentioned in the last newsletter literally will be open world areas. Multiple mission teams and players will find themselves on one gigantic map, completing PvE and PvP objectives for experience and loot. Missions on these maps will be for a varied number of players, starting out at the solo player and going all the way up to a 10 man strikeforce. And, of course, some areas of the map will be "unsafe" and open for agents to beat on other agents. Now you too can gank in <a href="http://www.globalagendagame.com"><em>Global Agenda</em></a>.<br />
