Hello everyone, and welcome back to Wizard Wars.

Let me begin by introducing myself. I am 'Airstrike' Ivanov, and for the last year I have been working very hard behind the scenes to get this mod back on its feet.

And, over a year since my having been in charge, 'lo and behold. Our first major update!

First things first, I'd like to express that for the longest time, I've played this mod, and I wish Saint Thoth, Sinistar, Codiac and all of the former mod team members the best of luck on what they are doing now. From what I hear, Sinistar works with Zombie Master now, and I thought that was a pretty neat mod.

And now that my monologue is over, time to get on to the mod!

The first thing you should notice when you came here, was that the mod details on the right have changed. That's right, we have our own domain now. You can click the address on the right, or if you're lazy you can click here to open the site in a new window/tab. I strongly advise anyone and everyone interested in the mod to sign up and become a tester in order to obtain access to the bug report section of the forums. (Please, keep in mind that the bug section is temporary. I am working on installing BugZilla.)

Next up, I'd like to talk about something minor. I uploaded seven semi-similar images of the Ice Mage in action in 1.3.0. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but I thought it would be nice to give you guys something after three years of nothing. You can check it out here.

And last but not least, I'm pleased to tell you all that I am, in fact, planning to continue the Wizard Wars update to 1.3.0. In fact, we have a beta version of 1.3.0, though it has a lot of bugs. You can snag the download here, or on our website.

And that's the end of this first announcement.

But because I don't want to spoil everything for you here...clicky linky.
