Hello all! It's almost been two months (whoops) since my last update, so I thought I should probably give another one. Work is continuing on getting the network back up and running as efficiently as possible. As of now, TK is mostly finished and Wytherin is coming along nicely. Since my last update, I decided I wanted to be more organized than I was (which wasn't very organized honestly), so I made another Trello board (big shock I know). As of now, there are two Trello boards, one for the overal network progress, and one for the progress of just TK. They're linked, respectively, on the new Development page, and I'll be adding more links there in the future for stuff we're working on.
In terms of network-wide stuff that needs to be done before release, that list consists of:
In terms of features that need to be added to TK for release, that list consists of:
The lists aren't too long, but they're time consuming. I'm hoping that, pretty soon, we can start running an Alpha-style release of the network so that you all can test everything out and look around and start to get settled (at least on TK, no guarantees on Wytherin or SS since they're still a bit in flux). Right now, donation systems have been updated for TK, permissions have been largely worked out (though something will be broken I'm sure
), spawn is done, and plugins are largely in order.
I know that Kitty has been working hard to make sure that Wytherin is ready, though through all of our real lives, progress hasn't been lightning speed, and I apologize for that. For me, at the moment, college has started back up so I'll be splitting time more than ever.
I know this has been a bit of a process, but I appreciate all of you sticking around to see what happens. We're getting closer, and I'm excited.

In terms of network-wide stuff that needs to be done before release, that list consists of:
- Building a new Hub
- Making sure said hub is protected
- Add Steampunk Skies to the hub
- Add /hub, /tk, /townykingdoms, /wytherin, /ss, and /steampunkskies commands to all servers so that you don't have to do /server <name> (thanks to some feedback)
- Get Wytherin-focused chat back online on the ER Discord
In terms of features that need to be added to TK for release, that list consists of:
- Get dungeon loot figured out
- Get spawn loot figured out
- Test out dungeons
- Finish building
- Test plugins
- Alpha tests
- Stability tests
