The Skyforge site has been updated with a new developer diary that informs players that the Council of Gods political system is going to be delayed for an indeterminate amount of time. During development, the team felt that the mechanisms and systems being put into place would not meet player expectations for Council of Gods and that it will be rebuilt from scratch.

Developers are currently completing work on other innovations that have been announced and working on improving the game according to player comments. Nevertheless, thanks to your questions and comments about the Council of Gods, we know what direction we need to follow to make the system truly entertaining.
