Things to expect in next month or so

[Red Squirrel]

We've done tons of progress over the summer on ML as well as custom systems, specially peerless and artifact systems. Some of this is actually very close to OSI, closer then we actually aimed for. We've even started seeing player trends that happen on OSI, happen here.

Theres still some stuff left to do such as finish masterpiece resources, tweak peerless bosses and finish the ones not added (melissande,shimering effusion and tormented minotaur) and add some of the ML mobs such as dryads (probably the most complicated mob to code). Things like changelings have turned out quite well and this same quality of code will be going into dryads and the rest of special items/mobs. Over the next month or so, we'll be concentrating mostly on fixing/enhancing existing stuff.

So it may seem like there will be a lack of updates but really there will be quite a lot of small updates that go in the background in order to enhance stuff. Theres some new entire systems left to code still, such as finishing off all the virtues, the custom bod system, as well as the museum system. (more artifacts lol) I may not add the museum system though, as we have tons of customs, so think those make up for the museum ones.

So if you find any minor bug, simply report it, and we'll be on that.

After all this is done, I really want to create a marketing plan for the shard to help boost the population. I also want to work on my other project SBBS wihch in turn may help bring people here. At one point I'd like to merge www.iceteks.com, www.anythingforums.com as well as www.uovalor.com forums all into the same forum but just different categories/subcategories. This will help boost traffic at all 3 forums and for those who post at all 3 or 2, no need for separate logins. This wont really be the runuo type setup, but rather be one actual forum, it will just be divided up. I will add the appropriate features to SBBS to make this easy to do, such as enabling different templates per category and such.

Also another project I want to take on eventually is RunUO in Linux, as well as RunUO SQL, it will be a totally custom build of RunUO, I may even just call it something else, as pretty much every script will be changed over at that point.

What kind of player trends would you be refering to?
