Ack! Linked! Busted!

...why the information available to read there has not been copied onto the Official Site and made easy to find for the majority of players is beyond any rational reason I can think of.

Ah, that's where I put my hand up and go "uh...". I dump a lot of stuff into my journal. My journal is filled to the brim with what a single monkey on a single typewriter could produce in, oh, thirty minutes, tops. Mostly I go on and on about myself and my stunningly dull life - "I took a shower, and then I ate breakfast!" - but sometimes I write about what I'm working on, and this happened to be one of those entries. I've mentioned the redesign of the NPCs several times before (honest! Check out my entries from June 4th, 13th, and the 28th), but no one paid much attention, so I'm a bit surprised that it's suddenly Big News, but there you go.

Why hasn't there been an official posting about this? Because it's waaay too early, that's why. And because we don't want to say too much about how it's going to look or play or sound or read, because we don't know yet. It's just one of those things that are In Development. Unlike most things that are In Development, however, this happens to be something that I'm working on, and since some people were asking, I thought it might be interesting to write about it. In general terms. Without getting too specific. Or official.

I know that there will be more information about the NPCs and whatever changes we end up making when we get closer to whichever patch this will accompany (I really have no idea - it's a long way off), and it'll come from a different - and more reliable - source than yours truly. This is, as the journal entry (not article!) says, something I'm just working on as a writer and designer, and that's the only perspective I have.

Anyways. I hope the journal entry (!) was an entertaining read, and that it provided an answer to the question "what the hell has that loser Ragnor been doing lately?", because it is, in all fairness, a Good Question! ("Not nearly enough!" would also be a Good Answer.)  ¶ 17:54
