Site Temporarily Down

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update, apparently my website was subjected to a malicious script injection, resulting in my users being redirected to a malware site.  I've notified google and my web host, but it may take a while until my site is off the blacklist.  No user information should be compromised, and all traces of the script are off of the website.  Rest assured I have updated the website software to the latest security version and will be taking other steps to insure that this doesn't happen again.  I apologize to anyone, and reccommend that if you have visted my site lately and did not have your anti-malware software report anything to you, that you should update all anti-virus and scanning software and insure you are not infected.  If you don't know how to do this post in the forums and I will make sure to help you walkthrough how to clean yourself of infections.  Thank you and have a great day  all!

Hello all and Happy New Year!  The team has been working diligently to get the game out of it's pre-beta phase as fast as possible.  the game server itself has been up and down as we have added new things and worked on stabilizing the server hardware.  Right now I'm updating content on the classes FAQ, and hopefully I'll have content descriptions more fleshed out.  As always, there are plenty of positions available for testing, developing, programming, and graphics if anyone is interested.  I have a handful of people and myself getting Athrandir off the ground as quickly as possible, but more people would make it go faster.  Here too seeing you in game soon!
 
Small Client Update
Written by Philip Browne Jr.

Please download the new client as it has been updated to the newest version.  For those only needing the exe it can be found at http://www.athrandironline.com/downloads/clientupdate.rar

This version fixes several small bugs as well as allows the use of chat symbols to automatically start chat without having to press the enter button. (such as ' for shout and " for global)

Also when making a new account the client will now require a valid email address when registering.  I plan on expanding this later to add authentication and password recovery.

 
Beta Server is LIVE!

That's right folks, the game is now live.  I will be making an installation file shortly for all those who are uncomfortable with just using the client files as is, but in the meantime head over to my downloads section and grab a copy of the client files.  The server is in beta status and I need your help squashing all the bugs!  I will also post a guide on what all the different controls are, as they are a lot different then similar games.  The server may be up and down frequently as it gets updated or encounters errors, but just stick with it and report any bugs you see with the /bug command!  Thanks to everyone for all your help and support!

Here are a list of all the controls:

Enter + /bug to submit a bug report while in game.

W,A,S,D to move Up, Left, Down, and Right.

F to pick up items and resources

G to open the Guild Pane

T to open the Stats Pane

K to open the Skills Pane

I to Open the Inventory Pane

Hold Shift to run

Spacebar to attack

1 through 0 can be hotkeyed to skills in the skills pane.

Enter to type in map chap

Enter + ' to use global chat

Enter + !playernamehere to whisper to a player

You can target players and NPCs with the left mouse button and move with the right mouse button.  target a player to trade with them.

If I am online I will grant you developer access so you can also bug test the backend that developers will be working on when the game is ready for release.

 
Public Beta Tomorrow!
Written by Philip Browne Jr.

The long awaited release of a public beta for the game engine will be held tomorrow!  I have my new ISP scheduled to come in between 3-5pm EST, and the server itself should be up a few hours after that.  I will provide a download link to the game files once the server is up and functional.  All in-game graphics are as of now test tiles, items, and sprites for testing purposes only, and do not represent the final finished graphics.  There aren't many things to do as a player, but don't worry.  As part of my large stress test I will be making everyone who creates a character an admin so they can all play around on the editors and try to break the game as much as possible.  There will be instructions on how to play the game, how to edit data, how to install the game, and how to report bugs.

Also in news I would like to welcome out newest member to the team, Keith.  he will be doing a large portion of the in game graphics for the retail release, so hold on to your horses and watch out for new screenshots!

I will send out an email to all registered users on this website when a download is available and the server is up.  I will also make an announcement on all the forums keeping track of Athrandir's development status as well as make a Digg submission and update all links.  When the game is up, everyone will know about it. ;)
