Hello everyone,
This November, NordInvasion is now five years old!
We have come a long way from the early days when there were camps made of dep shields, no barrels or resurrection tomes, and mounted Nords were part of the standard game. Wraiths had not been created yet, Hard mode was the top difficulty, and the one of the best barricades in the game was a pile of logs. Base construction often limited not by how many people had barricades, but by how many barricades could be built without the server crashing. There was no prep time between waves - once you killed the last bot, the next wave would spawn. A few more features which did not exist yet include the mini-map, house crafted items, enemy shot-gun ranged, and to switch characters on the website, you had to log out and sign back in with your other characters' names.
We still have many ideas for new features and will continue to release them in updates when we can. (We should have an update coming out in the coming weeks.)
To celebrate our fifth anniversary (and Thanksgiving in the U.S.), XP is 2.5 times the usual rates from now through the end of Wednesday, the 30th.
Enjoy!
- The NI Team
I would also like to take this opportunity to make a small reminder that as a donation-run mod, your support is very important to us. Funds for EU/NA have been running low. Some recent donations have helped (thanks!) but if it has been a while since your last donation or you have never donated before, now would be a great time. AU is also very low right now and without help, there will barely be enough to renew one server next month.
