Illarion (Read inside)

[Erdrick]

When is Illarion going to update?
I would be quite a bit more active if it would update.
I've been playing Illarion for how long? 2 years? 3 years? I have been with Illarion all the way, and I plan to stay active for much longer.
It seems like Illarion is in a time freeze, and I would very much like some answers as to when it is going to do something.

Your faithful player,

all i can tell you, that our serverprogrammers are pretty aktive.
but they are also rather new to the serverproggramm -> see news,
so no timeline

just to express galdriels words in a different way:

it may seem, from the players point of view, that illarion is somehow in a frozen state. this is in no way true, however, most things which are currently "under constraction" are some kind of unobservable, at least now, they just help to develop the code faster afterwards, make playermanagement easier etc.; there is just one big thing which will be observable as soon as it's implemented and this concerns monsters.

mainly we did bugfixes and changed the internals of the server...
the monsters and spawnpoints got changes which could be seen in game..
thogh we still have to make some changes until we release the new version...
there are more internal changes then changes visible for the player at the momment...
though we are making progress it can still take some time until we can release the new version...
hope this answers your question...

there is no fix release date yet though...

To add my two cents.

We are currently working on a few major issues in the core of the server that will allow us to be able to make changes much quicker in the future.

Since these are rather large changes, they take a while to design, implement and debug. Because they are at the core of the server, it is critical that they are done right. Everytime it is "almost done", an issue will come up making us redesign a portion of it.

But, once this is done and throughly tested a server update and possibly client update can be made. With either a small number or large number of changes noticable to the players.

Just a few of the things these will effect:

• The Application system can be used.
  Mob AI will show a noticable change
  Special Events may be easier to implement (and so probably more common)

Some of the things to be done not in this update, but perhaps a future one:

• Improved construction ability
  Improved map construction ability
  Improved/new NPC AI

After that, look at the ToDo list for things to come.
