Dear NI Community,
It is with regret that I am writing this. Running NI in 3 continents is very expensive and unfortunately the NI kitty is getting rather dry. We are running quite a few servers now and are in the process of moving US servers to sort out the latency issues. The sad news is at present, the NI account has enough money to last around one month more. One thing that has to be very clear is that we are not attempting to force anyone’s hand into donating to NI. As always, donating is entirely voluntary. It will however become very difficult for us to maintain the current service we are providing.
I ask that no one posts about re-installing private servers; this will not happen. As stated when we shut down private servers, a section of the NI community proved that they could not be trusted and they have unfortunately soured the experience for the rest of the community. Please do not PM about how your house can be trusted etc, we got those pm’s back in the past too.
I appreciate that we have not patched for a little while now but I assure you that a patch will be along soon; the month of Septober is nearly upon us. Today we entered Maljulember with the introduction of many more crafting recipes. The Dev team have been very busy of late with members starting new jobs, moving homes, finishing university degrees etc. We have been working on learning new coding stuff and actually getting our heads around the warband system. I can promise you that we are working on patching as I type this post!!
We don’t want to have to shut down NI as we all have fun working on it and expanding our knowledge and skill set, and despite. We hope that you guys have been having fun too and will continue to have fun as we work towards implementing our ideas and some of those those that have popped up along the way in the forums.
Much love as always,
Worm and family

Give a man a fish, and you have fed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will continue fishing even if you give him a fish.
