QUESTION for a staffer; what will happen to purge-only thralls?

I think the title covers it, but I’ll reiterate;
With this new purge system seemingly locked to Stygian Army race only, how will current purge-only thralls continue be acquireable?
Or, are we just making them defunct now?

In case anyone’s not sure what I mean, I’m talking about characters like…
• Grennel the Piercing Storm, a Darfari faction female Archer who has comparable melee multiplier to the current big 3 Darfari fighters, but double the health/vit ratio, or
• Una the Venerated, a Jhebbal Sag Confessor priest, of which there are NO JS CONFESSORS in the game world! or
• Gh’ordon the Chef. The last one is a cook, sure, but it was clearly made as an homage / joke / easter egg that no one will ever see again
…and many more useful and / or also funny characters.

So, what’s gonna happen with those guys?

Dennis said they made special consideration to maintain the purge thralls in either the waves or the cages you can access in the end

Ahh really? Dang, I missed that part.
Sorry for the pointless question then folks ^^;

No worries man. I think most people were still picking up their jaws about the god bubbles so missing stuff is fine. I will say he used legalize wording so I don’t think he is confident they got all of them.
