Boo. I wanted to be told Exult is being shut down so I could have my hopes and dreams crushed.

You guys didn't hear? Richard Garriott bought back the rights to Ultima and is about to announce Ultima X. He's considering the Exult teams faces for the portraits of the Avatar, Iolo, Shamino and Nystul! :O

Ahh, how I WISH that Garriott would want to make a new Ultima after the Ascension farce...

Seriously, though, the exult site front page doesn't have many news. "We're not dead" message from last June isn't encouraging; I've seen that on far too many places on far more dead project sites. And Exult is far from dead. Some front page news would be good to show that no, Exult isn't dead.

Even a small update on the front page would be cool. I've drafted one below.

"Over the past months we have been far too busy programming, tinkering and drawing to really publish any news. We cannot possibly explain in words all of the wondrous improvement Exult has received since the last update. Suffice to say, we have, without resorting to any hyperbole at all, claim to have succeeded in implementing the very Godlike Leetness itself, and we are confident that when 1.4 is released it will be marked in the annals of computer role-playing games with fiery letters. Be sure to check out the current version from CVS or try the snapshots - you will not want to go back after that."

Woah. A news post. That'd be something.

Or is that the belated April Fools?

Nah, I'm not an April Fool's fan. I'll just post some of the things we've done in the last year so the project doesn't look so dead:-)

I was SOOO glad that April 1st fell on a Saturday with year so that we avoided the oh-so-irritating lame jokes common on that day. Like Slashdot is UNREADABLE on an April 1st because of that...

Heh. There were some good ones on Slashdot, if you dug through the drivel, though.

The Age of Starcraft one was hilarious, I thought. I can't beleive how many people actually bought that one, though.

Good to hear that there's still work being done on this project. I really hate it when good projects die.
