It’s been nearly a month since our last update!  Changes are coming a little slower this month, all the staff is extremely busy right now with real-life stuff.  But good news is we have some active player testers helping us find bugs and tweak things and submitting great ideas!  A special thanks to: Kylidrah, Sinne, Neiska and Reinhart for their contributions to the game…

Some of the highlights of this update:

• Added some more MDSP data sent over the connection for Inrus’ Mudlet project
• Added a bunch of attack types and fun features to wildshapes
• Added a bunch of new commands to help support screen reader folks
• TONS of bug fixes
