This is getting kind of...silly. I've lost track of how long it's been since any 2.0 update. Every couple of weeks I log in to see if any kind of information has been given, and every time I'm disappointed.

I also noticed that the "tick tock" thread was locked, for no apparent reason other than it's inquiry into 2.0's progress.


If nothing is happening at the moment, say so. The concept of no news is good news vanished years ago in regards to this project..

Why the silence? I see a post sort of recently, and by recently I mean in the year 2009 by you Shev in response about a question involving 2.0, so why not in the same session post an update saying whats going on, even if there isn't much to say?

Give us something, even if it's not what everyone wants to hear...

A few messages within that tick tock thread were deleted too. :)

OBEY

Yeah...so...


I don't think an update is asking for much...

I agree with the above sentiments. An update would be really nice. Anything at all would do... personally i'd like more info on spells as I'm a wizardly type but anything at all would do.

I think you need a new hobby. How about trying papercraft?

Here's a 2.0 Update

As an afterthought, this whole incident has really been sad to watch. The saddest thing is that due to the burden this has put on the staff, we now have no time left to devote to new content - which was starting to gain some momentum before this happened. That's something to think about next time you decide to abuse an obvious bug. And to those who have done nothing wrong, I apologize that you've had to suffer though this as well. Please believe me when I say that fixing the fallout from this bug is currently our highest priority.

It's a goose!

Indeed, cuz inquiring for an update once a month even after being repeatedly ignored definitely shows that.

No Update ;(

=(

Sorry im 2 days late, but it's been a month since I last asked. So....update? hmm?

lol shevarash isn't even around to do minor fixes. that's your update, ttyl

I was 2 days late last time, so I'll be 2 days early this time.


Dun dun dun....monthly request for any kind of update at all initiating now:

Hey Shev, could we get an update as to whats going on, anything at all? Plz?

Not sure why I even try any more but.....update? UPDATE!!!

Update:

I'm working on a plan for delivering the 2.0 functionality. While a tremendous amount of code has already been completed, it's logistically quite an undertaking to try to convert the entire MUD to this new codebase. That includes finishing up all of the outstanding items and supporting all of the defects that are sure to arise once players get a hold of the new features. It's an even harder undertaking when you're talking about only a single part-time coder (me). That said, I'm working on a plan to get this functionality out there, and I'll share it with you all as soon as I think it's finalized.

Thank you Shev.

Here's an idea... HIRE A CODER.

Thanks for your insight.

While this response was expected, it is still disappointing.

Afterall, if you admit that the Corth's of the community were/are correct, than what else will you have to admit to...

Pride cometh before the fall.

I'm not sure how my response can be disappointing, but thanks again for your insight and many contributions over the years.

My 2 cents is that Dug certainly has shown his value, trust, and commitment. He absolutely meets what I would consider a viable person for you to trust to make him a co-forger.

Dug vs. Cyric anybody? Since I NEVER have seen Cyric in over 2 years, I would invite the notion to bring out the duggy. Callarduran would be another guy who's done a lot in a short amount of time. Even writing quests while the Forgers were out..

It is disappointing because it more or less proves you have lost the fire and passion that this game sorely needed when it broke away from Kris, and needs now more than ever.

Thank you for your contributions, Shev, but realize you need not go down with the ship.

The ship has already sank.


The mud will never be what it was(duh). And 2.0 won't save it, even if it's everything we hoped for and then some. That is, if it gets implemented within the next ten years.

Those that still want to play are the ones that still enjoy it in its current state, and aren't looking for something more.
