Christmas 2010
Description of Project: This event will correspond with the re-release of Kaizei.
Project Leads: argul, Wombat
Items and Equipment: Several old event hats are in consideration for use in this event and new item/equipment art may be unnecessary, beyond what is needed for Kaizei's re-release.
Notes: There will be no New Year's event release. People that craft a Christmas or New Year's event independently have a Dec. 15th deadline for final drafts (art + xml done, npc scripting done, everything tested and ready for final testing).
Kaizei
Description of Project: Re-release of snowland area, new maps, new tilesets and new feel to move it away from the "Christmas Land" and towards having a unique feel. Introduction of several backstory forces which may open a stronger plot development.

New Monsters (Monster drops): Yeti (yeti mask, yeti claw, yeti tear), Ice sphere elemental
Items and Equipment: Quarterstaff, Wizard's Hat, chocolate milk,
Barbarians of the Ancean Isles
Description of Project: Simple game to test the expanded player set. Will have its own git repo. New maps, including a town map, will be made to give the game a unique flavor for testing enjoyment. This game may remain a "git only" release, unless a third party server picks up the game and uses it for public play. Game type will focus on solo playing for those interested in testing.
Project Lead: Wombat
New Monsters (Monster Drops): Because this is a testing game, making monsters dyeable or using dyeable monsters with stats that vary from the mainline is acceptable. No new monsters will be made for this game.
Quests and Scheduled Equipment: TMW-eA: BAI Content Targets (draft): 1. Starting level quests, which will lead to approximatively 1/2 hour of enjoyable game play. 2. One weapon per new attack type, one or two draft shield types. 3. Begin equipment fixing for this game. Once equipment is at a minimum of approx. 80% equipment fixed, we will discuss releasing the expanded player set into the mainline.
Notes: This will be released on git shortly after Kaizei is released.
