After a four and a half month break from work, gaming, and a static lifestyle, I’m back. To an extent, anyway, another part of me is still off exploring Veliko Tarnovo’s ancient fortress. It was great to meet some of you in person during my travels, and I hope to see some of you again in the months to come. The journey isn’t over yet.
The break has given me time to think over a number of things; what’s important to me and what I really want to achieve with my time. Given this, I have no plans to make any radical changes to The Will of the Ancients. There is a lot that could be done to improve the site, to modernise it, to expand it. The general understanding I have is that people are (more or less) happy with the way things are. Change is good, but improvement for the sake of improvement can sometimes be more trouble than its worth. This doesn’t mean that I’ll be abandoning the site (far from it), but I’ll be focusing my attention on other projects. The site is staying online, the forums aren’t going anywhere, and if the content keeps coming in you can expect the same slow but steady stream of updates.
Although I cannot promise frequent updates this year, it’s good to be writing something here again. For this update, Kevin Berryman has submitted five new pieces of artwork, which have been placed in the Fan Art section. For your convenience, I’ve linked to them individually below. Many thanks for submitting these, Kevin.
You may have also noticed a change in the URL of both the main site and the forums. The primary domain for The Will of the Ancients is now thewilloftheancients.com and the forums can be found at forums.thewilloftheancients.com. panzerdragoon.net and forums.panzerdragoon.net will continue to work, the only difference is the site’s primary and secondary domains have been swapped over. I feel that a website’s domain and name should go together. Hosted sites will still use a subdomain in the x.panzerdragoon.net format since they are not directly associated with The Will of the Ancients.
