Status of the World

Post by **terryrayc** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 1:38 pm

I thought I'd drop a note here and let everyone know the current status of the world.

First off we are on track...our interenal schedule is going well and we are meeting our self imposed deadlines. If you are interesed in a numbers game, we currently have 96 areas live, 57 craftable items and 9 different crafts. There are a total of 56 encounters and 5 scripted quests. The only area we are not as far along as I'd really like is the quests.

I've been asked our timeframe for linking to copap...right now there is not a public date set. I do not like giving out dates...because well missing a date causes problems. I'll just tell you this, we are on time.

The team is doing well...it's growing slowly which is fine, but we have a strong core that is leading the way. Or player base is growing on average of 2 to 3 good players a week. The mod is stable and currently lag free. We had it running on a powerful linux server but had to move it to windows to use some of the newer nwnx mods we needed. However it's running on a Athlon XP 3200 with 1.5gb of ram, so it can handle the extra load that windows puts on the system.

The current plans are as follows:

1) Complete the first island (About 20 to 25 areas left)
2) Complete the Death Plains (Getting there)
3) Add death quests (Getting there)
4) Add about 15 to 20 more scripted quests (I've almost got these done)
5) Complete the join plan to link (Secret)
6) Add about 75 more craftable items (This will take us to level 4 or 5 in
crafting which will get us started)
7) Add 3 or 4 more DMs (To provide better 24 hour coverage)
8) Complete updating some IG tools for both players and DMs (Almost
Done)

Well that's enough for now. See you all IG

Terry

just a few thoughts from the Head DM too. I'm not letting Terry do all the official stuff

There should also be a whole bunch more interesting items coming along soon. Weapons and other oddities. If anyone knows their way around the toolset and wants to sub and build some for me, drop me a PM and I'll give you the info. Its all very simple, just time consuming

Secondly with regards to DMs as Terry mentioned we are looking for a few more. We currently have good coverage for Europe (GMTish) and America (GMT -4 to GMT -7) although we could probably do with one more for each. We also need some DMs for the australia time zones. Once again if you're interested send me a PM and I'll send you the application form.
