[ Tuesday, August 3, 1999 - 12:30 AM EDT - Update]
NetDragons has restarted work on Vagabond's War. We have pushed
the project past the first major hurdle today, and now it's just a matter of building, perfecting,
and testing the primary game engine. NetDragons is also working on a
team project in Space
Strategy 3000. At this time we cannot say when either of these projects
are going to be in beta testing, but we will keep you posted as we know more. The Web pages
for SS3K will improve after the design documents are done and coding development has started.
Update: NetDragons has also put Space Frag I back
on-line, so if you feel like blowing up your friends in real time, go play.
[ Tuesday, July 20, 1999 - 5:30 PM EDT]
In an effort to make your stay more enjoyable, NetDragons has added two automated services.
The first will automatically send your lost Vagabond's Quest+
passwords if you registered your player with an e-mail address. The second is a tool that
players can use to restore themselves from a backup if their player data is messed up. These
were the two most common support problems with NetDragons, now you don't need the help
of the NetDragons staff to fix them.

Due to a miscalculation on our part, NetDragons will be adding a Third Server to our
growing network. The Dungeon of Despair grew more popular than we expected and has
filled up the second server we just placed on-line. NetDragons will thus be adding a third server
to expand the speed of the Dungeon. The new server will be a Dual Celeron 400Mhz, 256MB
PC100 SDRAM, 8.4 Gig HD, 10/100MB network card. The Server is en route to St. Louis and
should be on-line tomorrow afternoon.
VQ+ Fans, The Dungeon of Despair
has been opened to the public. There are only a few levels done right now, but we will be adding
more in the following weeks. You can use the DoD Help page to see what levels are totally done,
and which ones are under construction. All levels have a place where you train to gain EXP and gold.
Net Dragons has added another server and upgraded the current server. We'll be running some
tests on the new server this weekend to try and load balance things to allow more people to play
while still leaving room for the soon to be released Dungeon of Despair. The new server is a
Pentium-II 400Mhz, 128MB PC100 SDRAM, 4.3 Gig HD, 10/100MB network card.
For those of you who had your characters reset recently, go to the how do
I get restored page. We are very sorry to those of you that were affected, and we'll do our
best to get you restored ASAP.
Sorry about the problems with the Server and to those of you who got the 60+ e-mail from the
VQ Mailing list. I was on vacation for a week and things got out of hand. I'll be sure to keep
on top of everything now. I've also killed the VQ Mailing list so anyone who got the e-mail, you
won't be getting them anymore. I'm very sorry that happened.
GameDot is also back up and running. Thanks for understanding. =)
NetDragons is very pleased to be launching GameDot, Your
Gaming News Network. This web site is focused on providing you, avid gamers, up to
the second gaming news in a community in which you're free to express you ideas. Go

We think we've fixed the problem with the General Network Server
which allows people to play Space Frag I with other real players
from around the world. For those of you that have not played Space Frag I before, it's a simple

enjoy once again having access to this fun game.
Net Dragons has pushed all active development to Vagabond's War.
This free high quality Windows® game will allow people from all over the world to fight in small
