v26 On the Horizon? (EDITED)
Two very big stories for me to cover now. So settle in and pay attention.
Is v26 coming?
The v26 version history is now available on the version history page.
And the additions seem intriguing.
Here's the version history entry:
[!] EO quest engine implemented (eo+ engine)
[+] Character classes system/tree (warrior, priest, mage etc)
[+] Script loader/parser, loading of script files.
[+] Script interpreter, script execution in gameserver.
[+] Storing quest progress per character in database.
[*] Interface improvements and layout improvements.
[*] Quest progress popup, to track your active quests.
[%] Random npc spawning fixed, auto-click fix.
Some of these things, I don't understand at all. Some of them are questionable features.
It seems quests AND classes are being added.
Quests will probably be simple to start with, things like gathering items or killing a boss.
The classes seem to be diving right in though. A tree, which could mean a class tree or a skill tree for each class. I think it means a class tree, and maybe you have to climb up the tree to access certain classes. Ex: A squire to start with, a warrior, then a knight.
It also seems as if we're going to get a new interface, or maybe light improvements. This could mean the change we experienced for v24, when the EO menu screen art changed, or it could even be a complete change of the EO playing screen.
And one thing that should be GREAT, randomized spawns seem to be coming. GOODBYE AUTOHUNTERS! This won't stop them for good, but should cut down on them, as well as their effectiveness.
No matter what, this seems to be another great version, with alot of improvements. If the admins continue working at this pace, we could be Beta by v30. Let's hope not.
My second story is a major, though unknown story.
I recieved a pm from an anonimous source(they probably wouldn't mind me giving their name, but I won't just in case).
The word is, the number 1 player in EO has quit.
Debstar has, supposedly, divorced Berdy, and quit EO. I haven't questioned either, simply because I feel it may be something serious. I attempted to question Deb earlier, but she got offline shortly after. She still appears onlineoften, but is never on for long. So could there be something to this afterall? Who knows what might be happening.
But consider this.
The top 10 is mostly inactive, or doesn't often level. This leaves the top spots open for challenge.
Deb - quit supposedly
Kas - I've heard many rumors she's weary of leveling, and is ready to quit.
Medusa - I can see her jumping back up, and taking the chance to make a run for the top spot once again. If Kas doesn't quit, maybe we'll get to see how she stands alone, without Deb. I personally think she'll be fine.
Berdy - I can't see him leveling with Deb gone, assuming she quit. He might even quit the game, because it seemed as if Deb was the main reason he played. We'll see how it plays out.
Puteri - Quit leveling long ago. But could this possible opening encourage her to once again run for the top spot?
Xinkai - I hven't seen or heard from him in ages.
Tanyalee - She supposedly came back recently, but she doesn't seem like she'll level for too long. She'll probably go inactive soon. (Yes, I know Tanya passed Xinkai. I forgot until I started typing.)
Oursavior - He could easily make a run, and even get to the top spot. But knowing him personally, I doubt he'll care enough to take advantage of the situation.
Cortezz - Headed back to school soon.
Zeakura - Quit a while back.
Tundraice - He's been charging. Could be the future number 1 player? I doubt it. From what I know of him, he's weary of leveling like most the top 10.
It's definitely a story to follow. Any corrections, additions, or whatever else to either of my stories, please leave in the comments. I appreciate all comments, but please, don't fight. I do have an option to delete your comment. =d

From what I've seen of the history of EO, it'll be a week or two before v26 is released. V25 was released about a week after its version history was released.
It seems Tundra, too, is headed back to school soon.
Deb gave her account to someone. I'll find out who as soon as I can.
Read the comments. Ephy left a small bit of info. And please add your own comments. PLEASE.

My predictions of classes: Warrior, Archer, Priest, Mage. We'll see if there may be more or less.

[+] Script loader/parser, loading of script files.
[+] Script interpreter, script execution in gameserver.
[+] Storing quest progress per character in database.
Those three probably won't make any difference to the gameplay. They look like server side coding features that only Vult would understand.
The quest progress one, I'm guessing, means you won't lose all your progress when you log off or d/c.
Knowing EO it'll be only two or three quests to start with. And the rumour has been that the NPCs in aeven square will be providing these quests. Imagine that. 1300 people + quests + aeven square. Sounds like laggy fun.
Jesus...if quests are provided in Aeven Square it'll be madness. Last time I was there, I was immediately D/C'd, and couldn't log back in to the game for a good while...
Evil lag!
Classes are what I'm mostly curious about.
Well, sounds interesting and I'm looking forwards to it, too bad it'll most likely be long until it's released.
And, Aeven square quests? ...God.
Intriguing news...
hmm yes.. well as long as there are quests.. now there is something to do besides leveling.. although i beleive most people will finish the quests within the first day.
