We have iron, pewter, brass, and some steel. Bronze was several centuries back.

I made a post regarding this a long while ago. I do understand that the starting age isn't going to be what the team had told us earlier, but I still find their decision to be rather disappointing.

That's because I find the Bronze Age (3000-1000 BC), or even the Iron Age (1200-550 BC) to be a considerably more appealing of a starting point compared to the overused late medieval periods (1440-1580 AD).

I would rather have the technology advance up to the late medieval era at the end of their ten-year plan rather than be the beginning point.

Supposed to be the Iron age now. Yeah, it seems to have progressed right on through to the high middle ages now in many areas.

This is due to pushes from players for more and more stuff primarily, and a need to adhere to at least a few of the norms of MMORPG games though.

They introduced medicine in some kind of theme that came up in the late 19th century and the concepts of gliders..... I hate to tell you they're way beyond the renaissance already. Get ready to equip your light sabers when we pass the exposition, lol.

I don't think people have begging for new stuff. This is why there was a big uproar against the glider.

The glider definitely was a studio call. Same with the clock and things.

I was talking more about the move from bronze age to iron age and some of the stuff beyond like farming tech and medicine etc.

SBS also had that obviously medieval jousting demo they made too.

So, it certainly isn't all the players either.

Some of the technology might still be Bronze Age equivalent. Don't ask me exactly what, because I find it hard to imagine what it might be. Unless, that is, SBS considers something like the moral compass of player characters to be technological.
