New Portal
- Topsy is working hard on a brand new and UBER portal for THF. This will offer an even cooler "offline" home for all of you! Here is a taste of what is to come:
- New cool design!
- Integration of all web based tools to our new portal (Magelo, AllaClone, etc)
- Magelo extension to show bots inventory
- Magelo leaderboard (possibility to list players based on HP/AC/Mana, etc)
- Online NPC tracking (players could follow up, which big raid mobs been killed, when, and by who)
- Ventrilo
Server Communication
- Ventrillo: I'll look into what it takes to set up a ventrilo server on THF. I find it funny that this was discussed a single day before all of this EQEmu downtime began.
- Shoutbox on the portal: whenever Tyler will set this up soon I hope.
New Content Status
The few couple zones of our new alternate progression line will be released soon (Paineel, Warrens). We basically have to set up 4 more tasks and then test ALL the content it will offer. There is a lot being offered ... all polished and quality work. ChaosSlayer did an amazing job and you'll see soon! This should go live in the upcoming days.
Along with the release of the first step of this new progression content line, we will have to lower the normal exp rate to actually BE ABLE to offer even more content at lower levels so that people will not exhaust all the content before experiencing it all. The AA exp rate seems to be fine, however so don't stress out about it yet. There will be a detailed explanation soon!
Custom Adventure System
It has been delayed a bit ... why, you may ask. Well, we made a tough decision about LDoN which was not to release it as it is right now. We want to offer quality work for you, and an improved player experience, not something junky. The adventure system coming with EQEmu is very new and incomplete in many aspects right now. We are examining the ways we could improve it with either custom code or at least database extensions. Long story short, it will go live once all of the above changes are done and once we can spend some quality time on this, but you've probably noticed that there is a lot is going on everywhere! So no promises, but latest in a few weeks it will happen we hope.
PoAir
It is basically done, according to Tyler, but needs testing. Could go live anytime soon.
PoWar
The rumours are true! Striat took over this subproject and so even I myself am very excited about this as he is a very talented coder and scripter as you've seen. GET READY! It will be a wild ride
I could extend this list with more plans, but this is it for now. We have to keep a few suprises, you know. Anyways, thanks for all the support guys. I'm proud to have what I belive is the most helpful and nice community EQEmu wide.
Stay tuned and have fun on THF
