Avaria has just announced some new and exciting updates to Endless Ages.  They have added moveable platforms, destroyable objects and a new quest user interface to make life a little easier for newbies:

New Moving Platform Hello everyone, its about time for an update again! In our tireless efforts to bring you the very best endless ages has to offer, we have developed even more new technology that will be featured in the updates to come. Allow me to give you a little background before I get to the meat of this update. In a massively multiplayer game, it is extremely difficult to create a destructible environment, the ability to sync up moving objects that can shift at high speeds while players stand on them, as well as giving these objects the ability to be destroyed is a process that not many have tackled, this process did not stop BedBug of course. In this screen shot, you can see a platform that will be found in the new newbie zone, this, with 2 other platforms are constantly moving and are part of a new quest. Not only are they fully functional, but can be used for transportation. The destructibility of objects like this also opens up new doors for more interesting exploring and quests. Which I of course will not be giving away the surprises! New Quest UI The quest system has now been equipped with a fully functional GUI to allow newer players better understand their tasks, as well as help everyone out with the ease of use of the entire quest system. These new UI's will also feature pictures of the item/creature you are looking for, to even further help players identify their target. The backend of the quest system has also been revamped, once our next update is released, we will now be able to change, fix, modify, and move quests on the fly with little to no effort. You can see a screenshot of the new quest UI here. Stay tuned for more updates as they arrive!

Recently, some have noticed the resemblance between some new monsters in screenshots for Irth Online and those that populated the cancelled MMORPG Wish. I just wanted to confirm that Magic Hat Software did indeed make a purchase of some art assets from Mutable Realms, after the cancellation of Wish, for use in Irth Online.
