A new, huge project is looming on the horizon.
Huh?
Essentially, I want to stop having Riiga hosted by proboards and put it on my own... server... thing. It will be built up anew, unique to us, with Riiga-specific features listed below. Basically, it will allow us to customise and modify the forums as we see fit. Riiga will, in a way, become more game-like, but not so much so that it loses the freedom of text-based role-playing. It won't become all about numbers and stats.
When?
Though it's being started right now in many ways, don't expect to see anything for at least several months. The forum itself can't really be started until early 2010.
Who?
The project will be directed by me (Treijim) with Ethereal Panda as my head developer and my brother, Xennavor, as a disagreeistant.
What?
Some examples of features:
Why?
Because it's fun and interesting.
And that's it for now. If you have ideas relating to any part of this, contact me however you want and we can discuss it.

What?
Some examples of features:
- When you begin a new thread, it lets you select a character to use (you can only use a character in one thread at a time) and it has joining/leaving features for characters.
- Quick-access to databases which are read and translated into user-friendly descriptions. Eg: In the database, the harce has a speed of 7, but in the guide the user will see it as, "It has formidable speed, sufficient to outrun a human."
- Access to random generators (books, names, places, quests, etc.) for when that brain fart interrupts important processes.
- Logic checks. Eg: If you create a human character and give them fire-breathing abilities or try to grant them mammoth-like strength, it will tell you to stop being silly.
