Sleeping, not dead!

Just saw a Youtube review of the server with speculation about what we’re doing here.

With the time I have, I’ve been focusing on updating Facebook and Discord rather than the website, so we look /really/ dead here.

We’re not dead! Really!

We’re chugging through the crafting revamp right now. When that’s done (at least a couple weeks more – a 7-month-old sucks up way too much of my development time) I’ve got a buglist to quash…and then we’ll be ready to launch a live server.

Hold onto your hats, cuz we ain’t dead!

First Public Stress Test

What: a “stress” test for the Empire in Flames test server

When: Saturday, 2/13 @ 8:00PM EST

Who: Anyone interested in seeing Empire in Flames! Join us for a time to test the server, catch up with friends, and reminisce about the old while looking forward to the new!

Where: Test Central on Tatooine

New patch and notes

The server has been patched. Please download the new version and apply before logging in. The previous link will continue to work.

Major changes:

All combat-oriented professions now have terrain negotiation to various degrees.
Dancer no longer requires Entertainer to dance.
Musician no longer requires Entertainer to play music.
Image Designer no longer requires Entertainer to image design.
Smuggler and Bounty Hunter combat specials are now weapon-independent and can be used with both melee and ranged weapons.

Apologies and What’s Ahead

I apologize for the radio silence for some time here at Empire in Flames. Due to personal reasons, I’ve had no time or energy to post anything here for several weeks.

On the plus side, there’s much to look forward to in the weeks ahead. Coming up includes more official server lore (starting with planetary lore for Naboo), skills, and profession information. We’re also working on some updates for the test server to try to iron out the worst issues (namely, skills missing modifiers and low-level abilities normally gained through starter professions that are no longer available).

Research continues apace on the most important features: Galactic Civil War and Underworld. It will likely be some time yet before details are publicly available, but rest assured that we’re working hard.

Yes, details are a bit sparse, but I hope to be sharing specifics with you in the coming weeks.
