I can't say that I am happy to see that HB USA is gone (or whatever stupid name someone thought would save the game), but it's great to see that someone is still trying to keep the boat floating. iENT switching to the new source code prematurely was surely going to kill the server. I have mixed feelings about the new game being a success with iENT in charge, but I wish the project all the best, and I appreciate that some people are trying to save our beloved game. Because man, I miss the good old Helbreath times - it's been way too long! I look forward to seeing how this is going to go, and I can't wait to see some updates.

Very excited for this new game, would love to be a part of alpha and beta. This was literally the game that got me into gaming. Started playing when I was in 5th grade and am about to graduate college now. The nostalgia would be amazing if this game were to make a comeback. In the past I've tried to start up again but the community was so tightly knit i never really felt like there was any way for me to feel welcomed as none of the guilds would accept new members unless you were insanely geared. Putting everyone on the same page again sounds great to me. Looking forward to future developments.

Hello again. So are you guys going to put any upcoming updates in this thread or create another sticky update thread on the forums about the new development of the game?
In regards to being involved as a player or for people that are interested in joining to support and help develop the game, are you guys looking for anyone that have some experience in programming, game development, etc.? I don't mind getting paid or anything but I'm willing to volunteer or possibly get to work for your team with minimum wage in the which is about $9-$10 an hour here in the U.S. If you guys are willing to do this then I would appreciate it. I've been really passionate about this game and ever since I started this game back in beta 2002, I've really fell in love with the game's gameplay which really absorbed me into this game.
This was probably one of the first few online games that got me into mmos, besides Runescape, Pristontale, EQ. I've played when it first came out and I was like in 6th grade back in the day. Now that I'm in college and still obtaining my degree in programming so I have some pretty good knowledge about this field. Anyway, this would be a pleasure to help participate with the development of the game and to possibly work for you guys with or without pay.

Hey Sahdowfury,
Updates will be posted, and highlighted here, facebook, and twitter. They are coming "soon" and I know that word isn't loved amongst the gaming community, but, its all I got for the moment!
You are welcome to forward us a resume, I do not believe we are taking on any more payed employees (for now). We have a development company we are going to be working with, it will not be 1 person doing all of he coding and work. Down the road, having someone else in house that can make changes on the fly, could be something we would be interested in, but for now, its not a "needed" position.
We planned on starting sort of a development committee where we can give a direction, and have them help us grow the idea, and evolve multiple ideas at once. We haven't received much interested parties in this quite yet, so we are hoping the next flurry of announcements will gain a little more "trust" from the community, and get more people willing to be involved.
Thank you again for your interest =)

Can any details be released yet? Size of current staff, game engines being utilized, anything? Obviously we have ran into a few hiccups, and has slowed our initial plans for information release, this has only been a slight delay, we have a new date, but due to this biting me in the rear-end once, I am reluctant to release information *quite* yet, when I am more convinced I can follow through I will have no issues in doing so. I'd settle for a better forum and domain You know this hasn't been on the top of my list of concerns but I am tempted to do this just for you! =) March came and left. So far, we have... A new Facebook page with a few new pictures made. What updates will April bring us??? April hype! =)

Very excited to see this released. This game brings back huge memories. I remember starting out back in HB Int, when it was free to play - 2001, 2002. The farms were so full you could barely move, you see people sitting there magic missiling themselves all day long, people fishing along the farm coast & you could barely even find a spot for yourself. Id do anything to get HB back to how those days were. I most certainly will be following this forum daily for any updates. Personally, I wouldn't mind if the game graphics stayed exactly the same, as well as the towns and areas, however to keep up with todays times, that wouldn't be ideal in bringing new people in.
