Instructions for building TMWA +servers were already removed from the wiki; Other tmwa sections will soon follow. + +We have begun a side-project, dubbed TMW Evolved (working name "The Mess World"). +It contains all TMW Legacy data, as faithfully as possible, but in the new, modern +Evol2 servers. It has new bugs which needs to be found, reported and fixed. + +There is no ETA for when the player data will be transfered from TMW Legacy to +TMW Evolved and the current tmwa-based server shut down forever. + +If you are using the self-fork release, select our test server, opt for using +"TMW Evolved updates", and then select "TMW Evolved" for world selection. + +Official ManaPlus will require a workaround which will be on forums later. + +{b}FAQ - How different is Evolved from Legacy?{/b} + +TMW Evolved {b}is{/b} TMW Legacy, but in a more modern code. This does have some +implications, specially with magic. Spells will remain mostly the same, but the +way to obtain and use them have changed. It also allows stats to go up to 100 and +max level is 140 instead of 135. Not that we think anyone will reach, anyway. + +We're also working on Magic Tier 3 code, which was flat out ruled as impractical +to be done on TMWA but is not so impossible on Evol2 code. At least that's what +was on the comments. It is not on the beta yet. + +{b}FAQ - What about TMW rEvolt?{/b} + +It is not immediately affected by these changes. + +For now, please bear with us (and help us!) to make TMW Legacy transition between +code bases the smoothest possible; And in due time we'll reveal the plan for TMW +rEvolt and Steam Release. + +{b}Unofficial new quests{/b} + +To celebrate the end of TMWA and because HoraK volunteered to write them, we have +added a new quest for the Assassin Gear. As Magic Tier 2 is finally coming to a +close, HoraK added a nice parting gift for it. + +Both new quests will be different on TMW Evolved. For one, because Magic Tier 3. +For two, because magic in overall has changed. + +That's it for today, HAVE FUN! + +{author:Jesusalva} -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
