You can review the complete changelog here:
[Friday, 24th January '25] Eggdar's improvements:
Eggdar, also known as Eggy, has been enhanced with various capabilities beyond what Darvin could offer. Its features include organizing word contests, remembering information, communicating in rhymes and songs, describing locations and paths in detail, and traveling within mapped areas like Loreroot and parts of Noman's Land. Eggdar can also review forum answers to assist users but cannot attack, trade, or cast spells. Ongoing development may require periodic resets and slight personality adjustments, with user feedback encouraged to drive further improvements.
[Monday, 20th January '25] Eggdar:
Eggdar is currently at GOE and will be retrained for a more noble purpose on Gateway Island after the experiment.
[Tuesday, 14th January '25] Notice to A25 members - Depositables:
A new admin management tool called "depositables" has been added to the A25 members' tool panel. It is still in development and will be fully announced later. Members are advised to avoid looking if they want to avoid spoilers for the upcoming AL, but if they do check it out, they should keep the information confidential. The tool may provide hints about future developments.
[Wednesday, 8th January '25] I have made a number of tweaks to how friends are saved, stored, and calculated for some upcoming changes I am working on:
Changes have been made to the backend structure for saving, storing, and calculating friends in preparation for upcoming updates by Chewett. If you encounter issues with friend-related actions (like adding or removing friends), please report them on the forum and include a link from in-game at GoE or Willows Shop, along with an image. No visible changes will occur at this time.
[Tuesday, 7th January '25] New Class of resources - Heavy Resources:
A new class of resources called "Heavy Resources" is currently in testing. These resources function similarly to existing ones but have a weight limit, preventing players from carrying more than a specific amount before needing to deposit them. Full implementation of the first heavy resources is expected soon.
[Monday, 6th January '25] Some testing needed - Registration of new accounts:
Chewett has made updates to the registration process and requests users to create new accounts to test the changes. They need feedback on whether accounts can be created successfully and if users are directed to the island afterward. Any issues should be reported on the forum.
[Monday, 6th January '25] The Ledah that saved Christmas:
Ledah saved Christmas by fixing the tree, preventing potential disasters that could have stopped gift-giving. Chewett, who was unavailable during the holiday season, praised Ledah for his timely intervention and expressed gratitude for his help.
[Wednesday, 1st January '25] Combat person and questmaker needed:
Chewett is seeking a combat expert and a quest creator for a secret project. Interested individuals should contact Chewett on the forum. Requirements include knowledge of combat, quests, or writing, the ability to keep a secret from Mur (or be Mur), and a respectful demeanor.
