    idfk why ? compared to other servers ...they update more often by adding some features especially mini games servers every month at last ..SO
    players will not be bored and keep enjoying the new added things each time
    but seriously ... why wynncraft takes ages to add some new stuff ?
    just wanna know why ..cause players r already getting bored as i have seen these days..even the trade market is dead ;-; ( dont say no ..it is dead ...really ) as i have seen also ..many players doing huge giveaways ..getting bored of the game.
    thatd all

    What he said... you cant just make a whole new area with new unique mobs and new stuff like combat in 1 minute...
    First code then test then remove bugs and then see if the people like it or not........

    And dont forget the building and writing stage, they have to build the entire map and write all of the lore and text for the quests. The quests take a long
    time to write because they need to be interesting so players dont get bored of doing similar quests all of the time either. The GM's are probably working
    on a new provence as fast as they can.

    To sum up here are the reasons::
    Coding new features
    Writing lore and quests
    Building new areas and provences
    Making new music for the new areas
    Testing the new features
    Removing the bugs
    Testing again
    Remove more bugs

    Well, it's mainly due to Wynncraft being an mmorpg, they can't just go about and add stuff, each thing should be carefully thought about to make the game fun. Would you rather have 10 boring fetch quest each week or 10 good lore expanding quests each say, three months. Also, making command block contraptions takes ages too :) Also, minigame servers only create crap-games to keep the community hyped.

    The entire content team is made of volunteers, who don't really have time to work on Wynncraft full-time. This already is a major time factor. Not to mention, since Wynnter we've been focusing on a new "philosophy" for quest design. We don't want quests to just be quick jobs for XP, with no care about how fun the actual task is. Instead we want to focus on making quests fun experiences that actually take up a good amount of time without simply wasting it on meaningless tasks like grinding. This idea is good game design but sadly requires twice as much work as normal quests. Factor in the fact that it's very hard to sustain an active GM team and you wind up having quests take a LONG time.

    As for new features, the dev team is ridiculously small. Jumla's basically the only one who actually makes new features for the game, the rest do other jobs such as maintaining the website and forums or making sure the network doesn't explode. And no new feature for the game is going to be "quick" Nothing. That's why there's no main storyline yet and probably won't be one for a while. Hopefully powders shouldn't be too much longer though.

    And that's not even factoring in the fact that January-February is usually a slow time for progress. Combine that with the fact that we finished the biggest update ever this December and you wind up with a lot of people taking a break. So that's just yet another reason this next update has been taking so long.

    Making updates for Wynncraft is hard work, but we're starting to make a lot of progress on the next update. We'll hopefully have it out sometime soon.

    Honestly, I think its just greedy to whine about how infrequent the updates are. At least they give us updates, there is no obligation to. Gavel did basically just come out and its MASSIVE. You go build and code as much stuff as there is in gavel in a short amount of time and then talk. Its not a tiny minigame, its a huge amount of building and coding. You're forgetting that a lot of people play wynncraft, so content wears thin pretty quickly. We waited quite a hefty sum of time for gavel and it was well worth it. But all the secrets are pretty much known now. But thats simply because so many play and are looking for them. It's not the devs faults the content is so quickly looked over. If you are truly bored, go play on a different server while they work. I used to build for a different server, and I know first hand it is no easy task. The sheer size of the builds amaze me. These guys have lives, work for free, and you expect them to chalk up a new province every few months? I waited the whole gap for the gavel release, and I am perfectly willing to wait for the next one. I like updates as much as the next guy, but you must come back from wishful thinking land and realize just how much goes into what these guys do. There's no other server like it, so have patience and learn to love what you've got.
    And the updates aren't even that infrequent compared to a lot of other things like mods, I'm a huge fan of the aether mod too for example, and I've been waiting on the "mutation update" for that for years now... wynncraft updates fast compared to them, and in a sense Wynncraft is one big vanilla mod to give us a new playing experience. So yeah... I'm impressed how fast they actually are given everything.
