Well when do people think the new walkthrough would come out?
When The Falcon and Merk are done with them.
Damn hack posts. Now we can't even be sure which post is actually the 1,000th or not. Oh well, the story is not the 1,000th post itself, but the 999 (approximately) before it. I'd like to thank everyone who helped get us to this point, whether they be old fans or newcomers. There are many whose suggestions/jokes have had a significant impact on the story. Des's early review (since I know he's reading this somehow) was instrumental in nipping early issues with Arc I in the bud. Wumpi's analysis of the fairies gave rise to a subplot that became so effective that I can't even imagine MotW without it. Powerdude's continuing fascination with all things Sparrow was constant throughout all the debates. There are many more I could mention as well.
As for Arc IV, it's definitely on its way. Last night, I actually finished the last scene in Arc IV that I was personally responsible for, the end of a major sidequest that I'm confident will provide much enjoyment. ArtBane and I will likely collaborate on a few more remaining scenes together, but there's not much more after that. Testing should begin soon, and I plan to put together a trailer as well, though there won't be all that much of a wait between the trailer and the actual arc.
Sorry for my usual verbosity, but hey, 1000 posts (approximately) doesn't happen all that often.
