Changes!
Dear players,
as the end of this year approaches, so does also the end of the beta period gets nearer. Soon Arindal has to become a paid game. As much as we'd like for Arindal to remain free, we already made quite some costs and bills have to be paid. We are still calculating the monthly costs and will try making the monthly fee as low as we can.
Many things will change in Arindal. Some of these changes will be implemented before the end of the beta-phase, others will be introduced more slowly after the start. Several of these you will see directly after the restart though, like a new town lay-out. other changes will have a bigger impact.
One of these changes is the concept of Arindal as a multilingual game. After some long discussions we have decided that at this moment in time it is better to focus on a German game. As you might have noticed this is by far the largest population in Arindal. In the past we worked hard to make French and Dutch translations. This has always been a time consuming task. Time we could not use to further develop Arindal, or to play quests. Therefor we decided to give French and Dutch translations a lower priority.
Our website here will be primarily in German. This helps introducing new stuff in Arindal because we do not have to translate everything into three languages before we release them. Other languages and info on this site will soon be available again, they will not be updated as fast as the German pages though.
This does not mean that French and Dutch are unsupported now! Only the translations have a lower priority, which gives us more time to be productive. So we can, for example, run more quests. This change does not mean that the only allowed language in the game is now German. What language you speak ingame is your business. There still will be French and Dutch players playing!
