[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 3967260, member: 1"] It's New Year's Eve! First off, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year; I hope that 2008 proves to be a great year for everyone, for EN World, and for the RPG industry. This last year has been a tough one - as you probably know, EN World is beset by multiple bugs, and we're working hard to bring about EN World II. EN World II promises to be a major step forward - it will offer new features, update old features, and promise to be bug-free. We realise that the old site is falling apart at the seams, and what's coming it bright, shiny and new. You can see a "preview" of the new forums section [URL=http://dev.enworld.org/forum/index.php]here[/URL]. Please feel free to try it out; in fact, try to break it! The more info we get from you now, the better. Already you can see the new [B]Blogs [/B] system which will be a large part of EN World II; and you can look forward to a [B]Gamer-Gamer [/B] matchup system, and a [B]Publisher-Freelancer [/B] job vacancy/feedback system which handles everything from job ads to submissions, to contracts. GenCon this year was a blast; I'd like to shout out to everyone who I met for the first time this year, as well as old friends I hadn't seen in a while. Living on a different continent to most of you can make personal interactions few and far between. I'd especially like to thank [B]Xath[/B] and [B]Mik[/B], who put me up (put up with me!) in Washington DC this year after GenCon, to [B]Dangergirl!
