...and another new year!

Wow... did we totally forget about our blog, or what? Well you wouldn't believe how much progress the past year has seen! Our team is really amazing. We've lost a couple members, but gained a couple x 10 I think. We reorganized a couple times, focusing teams on each sector, then groups of systems, and now by race. The database is nearly complete, from where we were last year with it mostly empty. We started our first Beta/Stress Test on December 22, 2008, and it is still running as I type, and will run for a few weeks longer, at least. Our forums are well over 5000 strong.

What is left? A lot. We're very close to completion, but some really important things remain, including:
- final QC on items, to ensure accuracy as well as completion
- creating missions, there were a TON more than most players realized
- writing and developing a script system
- finish data entry on mobs, mob loot, and creating an AI
- coding a job terminal system, and creating a job database and randomisation schema
- designing and implementing a PvP system (my new job)

New Team Leads include Kenu - Jenquai, Freaklord - Progen, Elana - Terran, Cookoo - Independent/Pirate factions. I like Jenquai and some of the pirates a lot, so I expect to work closely with Kenu and Cookoo on stuff like Jenq and Chavez, while PvP design is slow. Did I mention I speak spanish?

"Hola Diablos, nos musica toce, pero no aye para ti! Adios Dragons!" Chavez had scripted dialogue in space, and mob vs. mob battles with Red Dragons, sometimes very big ones lasting several minutes, sometimes just random encounters.
