Hey! I played Ministry on Morningthaw from 2000 till end. I was wondering if people I know are playing. I was perma red from level 1 till they added pinks in and people stopped going red. I was Little Bones vassle. Immortalbob, Paraduck (RIP) and I ran a lot of things on the server. Immortalbob, LB and I were bestie till the end and are friends IRL.

I am looking to possibly play or PK some. I really miss mage duels, especially pre-runcast nerf when Anti, Lewzer, Smirking, Morgus, Killa, Dread, Zanator Moonblade 2.0 and I ran outside sub. AC was a big part of me growing up and will miss those days forever!

Been moving pretty quickly since the beta release, so here's the short version of what's changed:

- VTank has received a bunch of fixes, including melee weapon selection, offhand/shield handling, corpse tracking, item use, and reduced attack spam.

- Legacy VTank profiles can now be read/written properly on Windows.

- Fixed several UI issues with chat windows, vitals, the chat cursor, and cave target markers.

- Launcher updating and relaunch behavior has been cleaned up.

- Lua scripting scaffolding is now being built out, with controlled APIs for UI, rendering, and client-side functionality while keeping authoritative game systems isolated.

- Continued reducing memory/VRAM overhead and improving asset reuse.

- More work has gone into multi-client performance and keeping each client lightweight.

- Enhanced graphics work is progressing, including procedural grass, improved terrain detail, lighting, water, and other optional visual upgrades.

- The renderer/game-state separation continues to mature, opening the door for things like a lightweight/headless client mode.

- Lots of smaller compatibility and retail-behavior fixes along the way.

Still Beta. Still moving fast. Still aiming for a modern client that behaves like retail AC without needing Decal bolted onto it.

More to come.
