Thanks David (and Teila for pointing it out :))

[Starrok]

Saw this the day it was posted and fell in love with the pictures <3

Showing them to all friends nowadays <3

Great job guys, made me shocked, I didn't even nearly expect such a level of detail! :D

[ZANGFEI]

Congratulations on the Massive progress.

PS:

Is she single? She is rather cure....... ;)

I click on a lot of WWW sites and have build a few, but when i come to this one there is a Specific tune that always tells me where i am. It's a good feeling and very catchy.

I wish I could make models like that :( haha

I wasn't aware of how many changes Adellion had gone through. I mean, of course I knew of the one big engine change. But, I didn't know about all those other things. Its amazing to see how much it has progressed with those changes though. Truly amazing.

I guess its true what they say, the best things in life are worth waiting for. Especially if the wait makes that much of an improvement!!!

Ok...

*Back to hiding in the shadows* ;)

The models look awesome and it's good to get some positive reinforcement and information on the status of the game. Keep up the good work guys. Cant wait for the finished product.

[Equalizer]

Very cool. Keep 'em coming!

You know I'm glad there was an update and all, i was sort of expecting the worst. I know you guys are working really hard and have gone through lots and lots of termoil.

But a suggestion is to keep in contact with the people who have followed this game for so long without ever seeing a video for that matter. I don't mean the person running in a field, or an overhead panning camera of a bunch of trees we will never see in-game. We have followed this game and keep coming back even without actually seeing any in-game footage. Thats pretty damn dedicated.

I'm more interested in the idea of the game and roleplaying it. This has all the workings to get a tight little following and keep them so you guys can get rewarded for your work. But for the Love of Teila, update the front page more often.

I worry that this game is not being advertised enough. But then again, what have you released that will keep people interested? the pdf files were neat. But how many times can we read something that no other MMORPG developer has done get excited and then wait 5 years?

It's really time to put together an official trailer or gameplay details maybe the HUD, or no HUD - or show someone farming, or cutting down a tree or in their house? anything.

ok thats all, i'm still following but losing hope.

[Teila]

Love of Teila? Its not my job to update the front page. I do everything I can do. :)

Trust me, I worked hard to get this update so for now, you will have to be happy with this. Hopefully, more will come soon. Again, we have a small staff and everyone is working very hard. I am afraid you will have to be patient. It costs nothing at all to wait... :)

[Suva-Tovari Nalor]

Well, think of it this way: would you rather have David working on the game itself, or making updates? I know which I'd prefer. :D

[Rinthor_Skymoore]

Nothing to wait, nothing to worry. The game will come out when it is ready, and I would rather see a game thats ready then a game thats rushed and has patchs every 6 days because of the fact it was rushed, and has bugs galore

I'm not huge on art, but there's a limit on the bottom end. It has to look somewhat good. But this art is fantastic. Way beyond what I was expecting. I didn't look at one image and not say "wow, that's really good."

I hope the animations are as smooth as the art is good. I'm not expecting it to be, to be honest. I think I like that art better than any game I've seen. It's not just the quality, but also the flavor it lends to immersion.

Now I have to curse at you all, because you aren't ready for release yet. Grrr.

[Teila]

The animations I have seen are really really good. I think you will be pleased.

[Tatanka Owachi]

Hey, are there any more updated pictures of the new graphics? The only pictures I can find look like the old graphics, and it says that the last update was almost 5 years ago. :eek:

The only updated pictures I can find are from the announcement link at the front page (they look awesome by the way). So are there any more pictures I can awe from?

[Teila]

Welcome to the forums!

We are in the process of updating the website so should have more pictures for you in the near future.

[Justiciar]

Fan-bleedin'-tastic. You've far exceeded expectations. Have a balloon, you developer types, you!
