Well if you need a tester let me know timezone wise I may not always be
round but if it can have a soundpack with the mush z engine then I am
all for it.
One of the reasons I eventually quit alter ian was that I eventually ran
out of things to do or some of the things were quite hard to beat,
eventually I got bored of it, then again fantasy muds are really not my
strong point, scifi is, I won't be able to or rather will not commit to
constant play like I tried to with another scifi game I was testing
because while it was fun at first I burned out and just stopped, then
kidded myself I would come back, by the time I was kicked off, my
motivation had dropped so low I wasn't even enjoying the game at all.

I have not actually played the beta again, it really does seem to be limited in
its alpha state.

I don't normally do this, but I wanted to talk about some of the stuff
we've been working on for Alter Aeon. The biggest thing on my mind
right now would be ease of use updates, and the biggest one of those
would be the 'list search' changes.
List search started a long time ago, as a way for players to more
effectively search for equipment with stats, or to look for items with
special flags or properties. The original code was cobbled together
six years ago (!), and over the last couple of months we have been
working hard to update it. The new and improved version is now good
enough that it's used by default for storage lockers and looking in
containers. A lot of the parsing bugs have been fixed, and it's so
easy to use that even I can make it work.
On top of list search, there has been a pile of little ease-of-use
improvements and spam reduction changes. Draak has been adding sounds
and sound triggers all over the place, though I don't know how long it
will take for the Mush-Z developers to add them all. It's really neat
to see so many things coming together from so many different builders
and coders.
Something that's really important and really awesome to me as a
builder is something that most players don't care about: the world
map. This has been one of our biggest work areas for a while now.
We've been rearranging and updating areas, making them flow together
better, and flattening the world map. In addition to this, the way we
do world mapping itself is changing: the surface of Alter Aeon is
gradually becoming consistent and properly three dimensional, similar
to how the world map would look for a large scale MMO.
I'd like to say I know what's coming up in the next few months, but I
don't. The best I can say is that we plan to add a bunch of new
spells and skills, and there are several more areas in the wings. I'd
really like to see the Archais fairy quarter open.
For those of you who play, I hope you found this interesting. I
haven't had a lot of time to spend on the game recently, but that
doesn't mean nothing is happening. Have fun!
