Alright Hogwarts Online Fans! June seems to be a pretty busy month so here's what's going on:
-June 22: Celebration of two years of the development of Hogwarts Online! There will NOT be a test client released this day however I will try to provide something special for the forum but I wont say yet. So dont get your hopes up for a test client in June.  When the next one will be released I have no idea. I cannot give an exact date nor can I give an approximate date (like the month). Depending on how fast we are developing the game, that depicts when the next client will be released.
-New spells will be added to the game: More spells, the better. Protegro has been added. Jinxes and charms are also added.
-More zones will be added. Hopefully Hogwarts castle itself will be finished soon. So I will need modelers to really work on that. I would like to at least get that done by the end of June.
-More weapons added: The basic "brown wand" is no longer the only wand in the game. I will need modelers to make some more wands for me or a texturer to retexture the file for the basic wand.
-We have a new developer! Njam has proudly been added to the developer roster as a modeler. Please welcome him on the team.
-I would also like to say that FateAtkinson was added to the team as a researcher about a month ago. Please welcome her in the researcher area.
Also beta testing has been questioned many times. The BETA testing signup will start July 10. It will last for 2 weeks so make sure you reserve a spot since it may be limited. Tell friends or forums! However the BETA test wont be until a couple months later maybe. Reason for that is so that I can register users in the time being and finish up the game.
-Bloobat

Stick with the snitch first. You'll need to finish that up.

Will do.
UPDATE:
-Protego: still being worked on heavily: the spell seems like it will be hard to implement into the engine but I'm trying to work it out.
-Expelleramus: The disarming spell. Expelleramus has been successfully added to the game as a spell that disarms weapons from an NPC temporarily (10 seconds). The wand will be gone but returns to the NPC for 10 seconds. There is a time limit because it would be very cheap to fight someone in a duel and they disarm you and all you have is your fists.

That was a typo on the forum but it's spelt like that ingame. And no one can sign up for BETA testing at the moment or reserve any spot. I will PM Hollow when the signup begins so nobody can reserve a spot currently.
RC uses Blitz Basic code BVM scripting. Examples of it can be found on the website as well.
And thanks omegafighter

I can't as I told everyone else.  No one can sign up now, just wait till July 10.
@baskyn
Well all code is difficult to learn at first. But I've been using Blitz Code for a while as well as the BVM version of it (which I strongly dislike). But why do you ask?
