I’ve been away too long.

The downloads don’t work. The news hasn’t been updated in over a month. And don’t even get me started about Lost Sosaria. I’ve been away from Ultima too long, and Aiera has suffered for it.

So here’s the deal, the changes that will be made.

First, the template. It’s time to strike a more…classical…tone, so I’ve changed the site template. This being Wordpress, everything else should still function more or less the same. If something does suddenly come up broken, let me know. This site is useless if I do nothing. It is almost as useless if the community does nothing.

Second, the downloads. These need to be restored, and they also need to be updated. Dead projects need to be pruned. Living projects need to be highlighted. And the way in which such things are displayed — which has served me well since the days of Aiera’s inception — could use a bit of an overhaul, if for no other reason than that it’d be nice if the CSS was…you know…modern. So, starting next week, and going (ideally) week by week from there, I’m going to work to get yet another section of downloads re-established.

Third, the news. This will resume — mark my words.

And fourthly, Lost Sosaria. I’d be kidding myself if I said that Lost Sosaria, in its current form, was still alive. But by the same token, I’d be lying if I said the project was dead. I have a couple of ideas that I’m toying with for what to do with everything that has been developed thus far, and I hope to have something to show for all my ruminations by the summer.

But more on that later. For now, the template has been changed, and will see some further revision in the near future. Downloads and news will resume presently.

Sorry for my absence.
