And in this post some of the info about the update is talked about:

> I was lucky enough to go to PAX and have a chat with Sirrian and get shown an early build of 1.0.8. I also met Nimhain briefly and saw a few other crew members promoting hard. As much as I love GoW there were lots of other things to see too! smiley The GoW stall in the expo hall was a castle which was definitely in the top few stalls at PAX for looks. It made directing folk to the GoW stand easy too - “Just look for a big castle!” It was a big day of seeing lots of cool gaming stuff, so he…

I would like to ask if some details might be able to be talked about as it concerns keys. I know after .07 there were a lot of people who felt upset they didn’t get the chance to spend souls to level their cities, I would hate to see another debacle based around keys!

Keep up the good work!

@Machiknight  
We’re planning some blogs & possibly a video before 1.0.8 comes out.

Because of the significant changes to keys, we want to make sure we give players the chance to either use them or hoard them, based on their preference.

When 1.0.8 hits we’ll be doing a conversion from the old keys to the new keys… personally I think the conversion gives a slightly better result, particularly for long-time players, but we’ll give you guys the info in advance to let you make up your own minds.

@Sirrian. Just wondering that with a new 1.08 if I need to convert gems to magic keys before its happen ?  
Or the gems and magic keys system stay the same as 1.07?
