Update on the new HUD

Posted by SSX-MS on Wednesday, July 13 2005

Quoted from Nid:

"The replacement HUD is not yet at a level that we feel we can release and even though it will be completed at some point there is no date set currently (we're concentrating on stability, performance, and a number of other low-level engine improvements right now)."

Posted by SSX-MS on Tuesday, July 12 2005

Following the successful Dire Maul weekend that we've just had, Illandria is organising another weekend full of fun. This time it'll be a weekend in Lower Blackrock Spire (Friday 15th July - 17th July).

Hopefully we will manage to set the guild up with another keyholder or two for the Upper spire, or at least work our way towards that. As well as lots of cool drops along the way.

If you're lvl 58+ and interested, plz mail Illandria ingame and put your name down!
