Abyss 404 Summary Update
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2004 8:05 pm
Here's a summary of what's been going on lately at Abyss 404:
New Staff: We're fortunate to get Dantreige as the new Technical Coordinator, and are pleased to finally announce our new two-headed Head DM, Demandred/Felisin. This is a big change compared with our old Demon-style anarchy.
Live Open Beta: We're still in open beta though it has been playing like a live server with DM'ed adventures and developing a decent collection of addicts. Though most of the characters will be wiped out when the server goes live, addicts with over 100 hours played on a character will have a chance to apply to get their old beta character moved/adjusted to the live server.
Still to go: Some things that are keeping us from going live right now are the lack of high level areas, an upcoming custom races revamp and rebalancing, and various bugs on the buglist to fix. Due to real-life constraints and developer burn-out, we're quite a bit behind of previously announced schedules. Though hopefully the reorganization of staff and the reevaluation of development processess will help move things along.
