The JWL currency itself is usable in Heroes and has been a crux of the Heroes shop since the initial launch of the server. Currently the gambling game services as well the marketplace (transitioned into the auction house) which will be two very crucial aspects to Jewels are in development. Once our next major use feature of Jewels is released, we'll be clarifying and implementing a transparent burn mechanism allowing those who are holders of JWL to proportionally benefit from our activities. Following this, we will be focusing more on the PR side of things to raise awareness of Jewels.

Updates to Heroes are regularly posted on the Heroes website at http://conquerheroes.com/ and JWL related information is usually Tweeted at https://twitter.com/jewelscoin

We're currently looking into a means of being able to easier communicate our development progress on all of our projects (Jewels related, Heroes, Rebirth, etc.) in a cohesive manner and more information to come on this soon.

I hope this helps answer some questions others may have had.
