Trouble times are these for Hellbound, but we will pull through; as all things tend to do. I will be looking further into fleshing out more of the server's lore, area design, and interactivity with player characters. I will need assistance for this however; please make suggestions on what you'd like to see in the way of player interactivity with not only the enviroment but npcs. Send me either a private message on the forums or post it under the suggestion forum. I look forward to any suggestions or comments.
We've lost two great staff members this week due to difference of opinions; while they will be missed and hope them for the best; we will do our best to fill in those shoes. In this aspect also Update 2 and further updates to the server proper will be put on hold.
What I plan is to establish the rest of the Astral Plane and flesh out the smaller details that appear missing currently. This will take some time but ultimately I expect it to thrust Hellbound further towards a final release. From there we can look forward to scheduled weekly quests involving the main story plot of Hellbound, which was teased at in several small quests during this phase of the beta.
To put minds at ease we will continue to operate the server for those who play and your characters will not be affected. When what I will be referring to as Beta-2 roll around we'll have a larger scope to play and with your suggestions, the interactivity you desire. The server size will be expected to double and offer an expanded list of PRCs, spells, and playable races; and starter quests that will establish characters to Planescape: Hellbound and her story.
I plan to try and post up new frontpage news items more often in the future, including sneak peeks at what I am working on. Stay tuned.
