Development Process Update

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update and a sincere thank you.

We've received an overwhelming number of offers to help with coding and development, and we truly appreciate the enthusiasm and support. Right now, though, having too many hands and competing ideas would slow progress. To move forward effectively, we need to keep development focused and streamlined.

Feedback is incredibly important to us. Our current goal is to get the game back to as close to the original experience as possible. Once we're there, we'll absolutely look at making thoughtful, small improvements where it makes sense.

At its heart, this game has always been about the people and the community. Our priority is to get it up and running cleanly and reliably as soon as we can, while recognizing that this still takes time. Thank you for your patience as we work through it.

We're aiming to release Beta later this month. Initially, this will focus mainly on the Training Academy while we continue refining skills, spells, combat, leveling, and core mechanics. In parallel, we'll be building out areas like Spur and, hopefully, Treehaven and Rathan, with hunting grounds that support progression to at least level 41, and potentially beyond.

To help ensure this is done right, we've brought in Dayrinni and ATSDaddy (Actinate), both expert software engineers who built A Tempest Season from the ground up. Their experience helps us avoid many of the growing pains that come with rebuilding a game like this.

They're also genuinely excited to be involved, as their love for MUDs originally grew from Dragons Gate itself.

Thanks again for all the support. We're excited to share what's coming next.

Project Update and Thank You

First off - thank you to everyone who has joined so early. Your excitement, ideas, and feedback are already helping shape the rebirth of Dragons Gate Reborn, and we truly appreciate it.

Beta Direction

We are currently aiming for a mid-January beta release, as we continue expanding and stabilizing core mechanics. This is a target, not a promise.

Thank you again for being part of this journey - the gate is opening, and the world is taking shape.
