The New KoR

The new Kingdom of Riches interface and additions are coming along very well. I have spent the last few weeks looking around at other games, playing MMORPG's, listening to podcasts, playing FPS's playing RPG's. Reading fantasy novels, watching films ;) All in readyness for the update.

Customisation seems to be a big thing in the MMO world, but not seen that much of it in PBBG's. In fact I'm suprised a lot of the things I have planned haven't been done before. Some have but those are usually implemented in a very limited way. Lets face it, we all want to be different, we all want to change things, we all want to be able to interact with NPC's to make our own decisions, not the ones the developer wants you to make. So thats my aim. Its taking a lot of thought, but its all possible. Like I said surprisingly possible ;)

So we will see in a few weeks what the beta testers think. I expect to lose some people, the sort that whine about any change day in day out. The same ones of course who whine when nothing changes too, I've learnt you cannot win with these people so have a built in ignore for them.

I hope you will like what we are going to do.

The other news is that Superdaz and I have now entered into a full partnership, and we are adding developers to our team, so that we can get fresh ideas into ZeroShadow. So that this update will not be the last. I'd like a monthly release schedule. Its do-able. Fixes and small additions all approved for release each month, anything thats not ready can hold over until they are.

I don't plan to move servers now, its just impossible to find anyone who knows what their sales or support email is for. Lunarpages can take 6 hours but least its not the week I have had so far from another companies SALES department, wish I was rich enough to ignore business like that.

Oh well, back on me head. Laters
