Monday July 23 will mark the end of the old NetDragons.com
and the rise of the new NetDragons.com. Starting around
2am EDT NetDragons.com will be undergoing a major update.
The NetDragons.com web site as you know it will vanish from
the face of the earth and will be replaced by a new web
site that is, sleek, looks great, and loads fast. You may
experience some problems if you are trying to use the web
site at that time. The upgrade could take as long as 24
hours.
I will also be launching the second Java Server for
Vagabond's Quest. After that the number of people who can
enter the old arena will be dropped way down. Now is your
time to get used to the new Vagabond's Quest Java version,
and if you find any problems, report them to
vagabond@netdragons.com.
This isn't the end of the transformation, it is just the
beginning. In Early September I hope to have a beta for
the new Java Dungeon of Despair. This will truly be
awesome. It will feature a 3d pre-rendered world along
with being a fully multi-player dungeon. This means you'll
be able to play the Dungeon with your friends and, if all
goes well, up to 8000 live player. We are also going to
be releasing a level editor for the new Dungeon so players
can write their own levels.
July will also mark the end of NetDragons.com burning
through cash. The new Java arena will save me about 42%
on bandwidth costs and will bring revenue back in line
with bandwidth costs. This doesn't mean NetDragons.com
doesn't need your help. We still need your help, however
the new web site design will have a number of free offers
that you can try, and of course NetDragons.com gets kick
backs from them.
This is the start of a very exciting time, and I'm hopeful
that you'll stick around to see NetDragons.com once again
shine like a beacon above the on-line gaming world.
