With just one day to go until June ends and July begins, I've been keeping myself rather busy of late. The group quest 'Memories & Enemies', or at least the first part, ended with an interesting and unfortunate twist. David has been splattered, Blanca is temporarily unconscious and Sophia has been kidnapped by a Garjiaa Minotaur! The second part of the quest should clear up a few things and answer some questions that most of you are no doubt pondering. However, due to a special event occurring in approximately 12 days, Part II may not take place until some time after the 11th of July. But wait... There's more! Following the end of the quest, the site will be closed down. Permanently. *braces self for shit load of WTF's*. No, that does NOT mean Drakkena Online is going to die. It also does NOT mean I'm ditching the forum for the VTT system. This site will be closed down because it is actually being moved to a new server. That's right, peepz. We're movin' on out of here. Of course there are a number of reasons for the move. One of these includes character profiles that can be viewed at any time by selecting the 'Character Profile' option next to a user's post in any thread or forum. Not only is this much more user friendly, but it's also considerably easier to manage which will drastically reduce the admin to user post intervals. Aaaaaaand around 95% of the content on the current site will be shipped out and planted onto the new one, making a fresh new start without really starting anything. I have already tweaked the stats and uploaded some cool HP, MP and experience bars (among others) for keeping track of characters in a visual context. All in all the transition to the new site will be almost seamless, save the theme differences and a generally better interface. Members will retain their characters, equipment, skills, gold and experience. It should also be noted that as soon as you sign up to the new site, you're officially finishing the beta. New members can then be recruited (one per beta tester), and new quests, equipment, etc will be posted. A complimentary Beta Pet will be given to all beta testers, all of which are unobtainable by newer members (they can't even be traded). In an attempt to make suggesting new equipment, abilities and monsters slightly easier, all of the generators are going to be merged into the Suggestion Box. This will however limit members to only suggesting one of anything (equipment, monster or ability) on a weekly basis. Although it probably won't be too much of a hassle for most members, some newbies that are yet to join the forums may find it annoying. Nevertheless, if any members have a problem with it, they should realise that because there will be potentially 8+ members on the new site, trying to manage and create up to 24 additions every week is simply far too time consuming on my behalf. I still have loads of stuff to explain about the transition, but I'll wait until it actually happens before I get too carried away... Ciao! Morpheus |
