It wasn't so much for lack of ideas, if anything it was too many ideas. Of which Bear, who at the time had no programming background, did the best that he could to incorporate a lot of those ideas in. I actually like yama-jii as he was strength support, which was his intended role when being built into the system. The main reason that it took more than a year to get new versions was that there were certain people at the time working on a new version, IE; Lulu with TKEA, yprincew, and others, but none of the original people involved until Bear and Blood-Elf got started again. Most of these updates a lot of people hated and a lot of people liked, but I am saying to skip all the updates and go back to the version that almost everyone played of 1.5b.
NVB has its downfalls and its positives like many other games out there, however, IMO it deserves a chance to be hosted again if a bot is available
@Yondaime I would venture to guess that almost anyone that plays NWU now at least played NVB at some point in time as well, and look at how many games are hosted on ENT71/day. I'm not saying NVB will get that far, but I can hope. Thanks.
