I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but I am going to try and get everything I want into the server by February 19th as this is the 1 year anniversary that I produced the idea for Enlightened Dark: Ascension. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a fun, safe New Year. A lot has happened over the last year with real life including the birth of my first daughter, who is now 18 weeks old, as well as me starting a new job in an actual career. I have been putting little bits of time here and there into the server, producing new ideas, implementing tons of changes, both on the surface and behind the scenes in the source code, as well as creating new development tools to help me produce content into the server at a much faster rate. No matter how many tools I have to help me develop, time is always a factor and unfortunately right now my time is very limited. At the moment there are over 5,000 custom items in the database, 800+ spells, 200+ tasks, 500+ tradeskill recipes, most of which I designed by hand.
From approximately September to December I had a long (both needed and unwanted) break with my daughter being born and the holidays and very, very little, if anything at all, was touched on the server. Things have started back up over the past couple weeks, and I am having a blast producing content and ideas that I hope everyone will enjoy making a return to. Unfortunately I have done the final character wipe as needed with the last tweeks submitted with the help of the last beta testing. The next release will be official and the ascended classes will be available for play as well as a new level cap of 55. I am very anxious to get this project completely off the ground, but once it's in the air I would like to see it remain there and sore higher and higher, rather than crash like a lot of completely custom servers. Be on the look out for Enlightened Dark: Ascension on the server lists within the next 6-8 weeks.
