Preview Thread

[Kamaeru]

Okay, so now that we're in a state where many things are stable on the server in their former state (giving me a good idea where to go from here), it's time to update things so they aren't so antiquated!

I will be using this thread to deliver development updates pertaining to things that are being developed in order for a serverwide update that will take place updating the look of players to the new system in the (hopefully) near future.

As of right now I have been organizing all of this by myself, but have the great fortune of being able to use a ton of assets that have been created for the server yet unfortunately not many people got to see because Konidias' Bomy Island project was never completed.

Please note that these updates are a PREVIEW of a future update where this will all be released at once, so you will not be able to participate in this stuff until that update occurs. If you want to help test stuff, however, you can ask and we will see about recruiting a few people to test stuff.
