Welcome to this new version of ##0 Evol Online! This third Beta release will maybe be followed by a ##0 Beta3.1 if bugs are to be discovered, so don't hesitate to tell us ##0 about anything you dislike in game. Then you may deserve a cookie... ##0 Thanks to Kenny690, we made great progress on sound effects and more ##0 will come! We also worked very hard on art, we for example added a ##0 a new hairstyle, weapons are now visible, lots of icons were remade, ##0 etc... Furthermore, new unit names got introduced such as Esperin ##0 for the in-game currency or Florin as weight value. ##0 Last but not least, we did an incredible work on balancing the game, ##0 this took us most of our time thus we think it'll bring a new game ##0 experience to this adventure. We hope you'll enjoy this new version ##0 of Evol Online, and remember, cookies are a source of life. ##9 -- Regards, Alige. ##9 July 2013 ##7 Get ready for summer! ##0 Fellow players, we are pleased to inform you that during this year, ##0 all of us worked hard on this project and also in real life, thus ##0 most of our developers and contributors graduated! Congratulations ##0 to all of them! ##0 The change of license from GPLv2 to CC BY-SA 3.0 has made great ##0 progress too! There are very few graphics left that are still GPLv2 ##0 and we're doing our best to get rid of these as soon as possible. ##0 On top of that, we also continued working on our new website, we ##0 hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do. Don't forget to register on ##0 our forums too! ##0 The Beta3 is coming very soon, so if you want a very special cookie, ##0 please come and help us translate the last few sentences left. ##0 On the ManaPlus development side, we are proud to announce the ##0 release of that client on Debian and Ubuntu 13.10. Note that ##0 http://manaplus.org/ is finally out too! ##9 -- Regards, Alige. ##9 June 2013 ##7 Spring time everybody! ##0 Beta2.1 was a great success, more than what we thought it would be. ##0 We are proud of this release and of the players too! Your bug ##0 reports helped us a lot, as well as your feedbacks. Thank you! ##0 We started working on Beta3 even before the launch of Beta2.1 ##0 because much needs to be done. We fixed all known in-game issues ##0 and improved a lot of old content. ##0 To sump up, Beta3 can be compared as a full balancing release, it'll ##0 bring new weight and currency measures, which will offer a new game ##0 experience to you all! We'll let you discover all of the other new ##0 features and modifications by yourself! ##0 Lastly, we think it is important for you to know that we spend a lot ##0 of time trying to change our game art's license from GPLv2 to ##0 CC BY-SA 3.0. This will help us develop much faster in the future. ##0 Beta3 will soon be released, such as its news post! ##9 -- Cheers, Reid. ##9 March 2013 ##7 Finally, Beta2.1 is out! ##0 We are proud to announce the launch of Beta2.1 tonight. This ##0 update brings a lot of bug fixes. We also did a lot of dialogues and ##0 quest fixes. Translators greatly helped too! Thanks to everyone ##0 who contributed. ##0 As Evol developers already started working on future releases, ##0 some improvements, that were not supposed to come in so soon, were ##0 implemented in this release. We improved and added graphics, ##0 cleaned databases, added a new indoor sunlight effect. We hope ##0 you'll like it! ##0 ManaPlus also got improved along with its awesome new Jewelry ##0 Theme!

In addition, we need to let translators do their job, and ##0 that takes time! ##0 Moreover, ManaPlus never stops getting better, as well as the ##0 brand new Jewelry Theme, thanks to 4144 and Hal9000! Check it out! ##0 Stay tuned for the Beta2.1 release! ##9 -- Regards, Alige. ##9 January 2013 ##7 Season 1, Episode 2! ##0 After over 10 months of intense work, here is the new version of ##0 Evol Online!

Beta2 takes a ##0 whole lot longer than they thought but this is of course to avoid ##0 any kind of issue. Again, a numerous amount of bugs were fixed and ##0 scripts were mostly all rewritten for a better game experience. ##0 As a lot of dialogues were added and improved for Beta2, ##0 translations are needed more than ever. Even though some developers ##0 also work on these, they cannot afford working on all of them. ##0 If you feel like you can help developers in any way, especially for ##0 translations if you speak english fluently, feel free to contact ##0 them using Evol Online's IRC developer channel. ##9 -- Regards, Alige. ##9 November 2012 ##7 End of summer, beginning of Beta2! ##0 Summer holidays are now over for the Evol Online developers.

Final ##0 modifications are being made to give you the best release ever made ##0 for this project. ##0 Among the new features is a Quest Window that has been added to the ##0 client. It will help you see your progress in game. ##0 When the Beta2 release will be out, we would like you to promote it ##0 by simply spreading the word around you.
