- Improving documentation for mortals and wizards
- 216 changes and improvements have been made to the core mudlib
- 459 bugs have been fixed in existing areas

Future
For 2026 (hopefully), we're planning further upgrades, most of them under the hood, but some that will be visible to players.
- The server will move to a new physical location
- Upgrade the driver to current version (1.7.8 as of writing this document)
- Complete move to vanilla DGD, streamlining upgrades and VikingMud adaptations done as a module.
- Upgrade password hashing to use Argon2id, for improved security. This will force password changes for all charcaters.
- Implement FTPS support, as well as TLS support for regular mud connections
- Make wizards manual files as well as regular help files available on the website
- Hopefully, release more areas, more features and keep expanding
- Maybe even get more active players?
- Continue bugfixing
