***SHARD REVAMP PROGRESS GUIDE***

Death · Post by **Death** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 4:28 pm

Hello all AOV Players and Staff!

As promised a while back, we are posting our revamp plan for everyone to see. This revamp is a large project with many tasks, which in the end will improve upon pretty much everything AOV has to offer in terms of service, gameplay, look etc etc.

Most of the points are done in chronological order. If for some reason we decide to do a certain task in a different order, we'll update it and bump it up the list (Other tasks may be added if we forget something. This list isn't set in stone and will likely change during progress).

NOTE: Planning, researching and revisions are assumed for most points. This list is periodically updated so check back when there are updates.

Green represents tasks which are completed
Grey represents tasks which have been put aside for the time being
Red represents tasks which have been dropped or canceled
Blue represents tasks which are currently being worked on

At the current rate, we will get to enjoy the new server around 2015.

I was wondering when you would finally succumb to the waiting.

I am certainly not going to complain about someone who provides us a free server to play on

The changes look good, if they take longer to implement than expected, so be it. Those who are not writing code for this have no grounds to complain IMO.
