Marni (bwg), as our new Wiki Head, has already started doing a fantastic job of organising the vast Wiki. The end goal will be a cohesive, accurate and highly informative Wiki that lists as much information as possible about the game. As a part of this, we will be reducing the number of player accounts to a more manageable size. Less than 30 players have edited the Wiki since the start of 2015, and the "manageable size" we have in mind is still far larger than that. Players will be able to apply for an account in what will simply be a slightly stricter and more monitored system than before. This will help to ensure that edit standards can be set and that vandalism/security issues can be prevented, while still keeping the Wiki open to all to contribute to'''Easter Impalong.'''

'''Bridges, Boats and Stairs!''' We will be releasing the Spring Update next week, on Tuesday 12th May. We don't Several keen astronomers have sighted a specific time set, but will aim to release as soon as we can on new moon in the day. Key updates:* The first and main feature night sky! After a long period of time in the update will be bridges. The feature will be released in fullblind spot Haven is now visible, allowing for all kinds of creativity... ranging from bridges across water and valleys to bridges between buildings, in four flavours: rope, wood, stone and marble.* with it some exciting changes! We are also releasing a couple plan on introducing more information behind the mystery of other features in the releaseHaven as time goes on, but the first of which change is slightly obvious given the new boat modelsexamine text. The boats themselves will go unchanged, but all boat types will get updated models.* The last part of the update will be stairs.
That concludes We have started working on the foundation of a new tutorial and will be replacing the Golden Valley map that is currently live. Currently the project is still in its early stages, with planning and preperation being done before introducing the new map. As Golden Valley is also the login server, migrating databases is a little tricky, so due to this week's newswe will simply be changing the map with all items and buildings remaining. Excited? Join us next Tuesday for We will then have the current tutorial operating while we build the release of new tutorial behind the biggest single feature since multi-storey housing!scenes.
