The update you've all been waiting for...

Quote:
"For those of you wondering why Wyvern has not progressed much recently, we can finally give you an answer and that answer is a little thing we like to call, Wyvern 2. Wyvern 2 is a leap forward in our gameplay technology. New graphics, a smoother interface, top notch gaming severs, and much more will be possible once the rewrite is complete. All of this is expensive, though, and so we will be introducing a pay for play service which will feature new areas, monsters, items, and goodies for you to salivate over. Examples of the types of things we have been working on include;
  • The long lost underwater city of Atlantis. Recently repopulated by aquatic elves, Atlantis has become a thriving cityscape for the underwater races who come to trade in its lush markets and bathe in its protective magic. But not all is as it seems. An evil lurks deep within its sparkle covered walls and threatens to throw Atlantis into chaos once more. Only the greatest of heroes can uncover the mystery of Atlantis' past and prevent history from repeating itself.
  • The Abyss. The multi-layer demonic plane from which all demons spawn can now be traversed. For low level players, there are caverns populated by grublings, imps, and other minor demons. For high level players, there's the possibility of facing the greatest challenge of their adventurering career as they make their way through the lairs of the great demon lords in their native environment. Fan favorites such as Nec-bathat, Demogorgon, and more await. Are you up for the challenge?
  • The Empire of Nimbus Foratu. We've brought to you amazing worlds on land and at sea. We've even let you venture into massive underground caverns populated by evil elves and dwarves. So we thought long and hard where we could take you to next and we decided to set our sights on the clouds themselves. That's right, Nimbus Foratu is a cloud-scape that consists of floating islands that soar high above. This is still in the early production stages so there's not much to reveal to you about it, but we plan to create a new race of peoples to inhabit it as well as lots of unique new monsters and items. The team working on this project are very excited and can't wait to start bringing Nimbus Foratu to life.
  • New Live Quests featuring terrible new threats such as Asmodeus and Tarasque, as well as those fun, quirkly ones that have become such a staple of Wyvern.
  • Eight more playable races and counting. Ever want to play a gnome or a troll? How about werewolves and vampires? Well you won't be wanting for long. Our new production team is hard at work creating these and four other playable races for you to dig your teeth into. But, we don't want to stop there. Before Wyvern 2 is ready to launch we hope to come up with and create as many more as possible. Some will be accessible when you create an account, others can only be unlocked by playing the game.
  • Music. So far we have a few dozen new tunes and counting. Like Kingdom Fanfare? Then you'll love Runaway Dragon or perhaps Spirit of the Dwarf will be more up your alley. Now that we have so many variations, there will be areas with playlists that go from tune to tune rather than replaying the same one over and over again. You'll also be able to create your own playlist if that's more your thing. But, that's not all - Sound effects a plenty are on their way as well. Ever hear a wolf howl in Wyvern or the sweet sounds of a waterfall? Well expect to now be able to hear such things as birds chirping and, yes, even weapons clashing and spells a buzzing as you do battle with your various foes.
And that's just the start of things. We have several more ideas in the works and once we get the ball rolling, we have lots of other ideas that we want to get to you on a regular basis. But we have not forgotten about all you loyal players who have been enjoying Wyvern for free. A sever running the current version of Wyvern will remain active and we hope to continue to recruit wizards from amongst your ranks to work on it. Those who are exceptionally good at it may get tapped to work on Wyvern 2, as we have done with several of your current favorite wizards already.

I'm sure you have lots of questions like; "When is Wyvern 2 coming out, how much will it cost, how many servers are you going to start with, and how large a staff do you have working on it?" Well I can tell you now that we are shooting for a release date of this spring. We're very confident about this date and intend to keep you updated as we go along. Very soon we will reveal a Wyvern 2 development blog where we will show you some of what we have we have been doing as we do it and we'll field more of those questions and comments as we go along. You'll also be able to voice opinions and give us some feedback and ideas to help us improve the projects we're currently working on. These are exciting times and we hope you'll not only stay with us through all this, but come with us this spring when we reveal a bigger, better, and more pristine Wyvern!"
