Yes, I am addressing +the shy Tritans among us! +Oh, your dog might also be interested in this. + +So our last edition of the newspaper was on {red}March 1st{/red}. +It was about 45 days ago, so lets do a new post! + +Here is the current progress report for the new server: + +{link:https://forums.themanaworld.org/download/file.php?id=13446} + +So while I would love to {red}bore everyone to death{/red}, talking about how +many placeholders we've added this last period - from adding a hideout on Artis +(where? It is a secret, of course!) to the fight against the Legion - +with several bugfixes, bringing Wyara back, adding minimaps to most maps while +still keeping Rossy's caves a secret, improving several minor things, +and adding some skills. Because seriously, we are The Mana World. A Mana World +without magic makes no sense, right? + +But the thing is, I can't. +I know, many have missed Mona's dad's rescue operation. I know, many missed +the incredible desync which brought 4144 to release ManaPlus 1.9.3.23. +Throwing stuff in sewers, the Peter quest redesign, and making sandwiches. +...but I don't have time for that, because in case you just said "Neat, there +are progress bars on the picture", there are also due dates! + +This means, as our (late) TMW birthday gift to the community, +{red}we decided on a deadline{/red}! + +You know, the thing is - not even the developers can wait another year for +this game to be playable. +So we decided on a deadline - after lots of drama and bikeshedding on IRC, +as tradition demands - somewhere between September and October 2019. + +So no more time to stop and chat, we have a game to finish if we want to be +able to call it The Mana World. + +Finally, do you know what makes The Mana World, The Mana World? Here is a hint: +It is not the name. It is not the quests. It is not the graphics. And it is not +the player data either. +If you find out, please do not share. :> + +{author:Jesusalva} -- cgit v1.2.3-60-g2f50
