OMFG IM TEARING UP

A few(about 6) months should be enough.

Alrighty If its 6 months release it on my bday as a bday present xD

Not many people here were around for the initial release of FO (closed alpha phase). My goal was to be at that point within 6 months which would be the end of June. I think we can still hit it or be within a month of that. However, the initial release of FO really didn't have much. It was literally half of noob island and had nothing but a few mobs running around that you could run around and attack. And there was chat. That was pretty much it. Additional stuff was added as time went on.

We currently have a small dev map that I made (with my awesome paint skills for tiles). You can click to move around and there is a simple multi-channel chat which works, but I need to do an interface so you can (un)subscribe to rooms. I'm working on better movement (collisions and pathfinding) and that chat interface. Then I need add mobs (which it technically is supported by everything already, just need to add random movement), clicking to select others/mobs and attacking mobs. Once that is done, I'll be at roughly the same point as FO alpha.

When will you be able to play? Honestly, it would probably be around another 6 months. I'll likely invite a few people to play in the alpha as we add features for testing. This is in addition to the moderators. We might have a small preview weekend here or there for stuff like stress testing. And as time goes on, and more and more is added, the number of testers will be increased until we hit the point of an open release.

Alright, im really looking forward to this. Thanks for bringing back memories and my favorite game. All worship the Llama

They're not actually bringing FO back or using anything owned by it, but instead making a whole new game based on some of the same things FO consisted of. This will be an improvement though compared to FO. So we can all look forward to it

I know but FO was my fav and this just brings back memmories!!! <3

Eleventy years.. Again.. Because this question has already been asked and answered.

As long as we have something to do and keep us busy we'll be alright really. Like I've been playing quest world with some friends and it makes me nostalgic for FO.

how about swimming in lakes or oceans and some sharks or fishes? this does bring back some amazing memories!

Omg. this might be released by june! WHOO!

Sort of, the alpha might be released but not the actual open beta. That could be a few more months.
