Well, I was not sure if I would make a version 1.7.2 or not, but I decided that the next version will be 1.7.2, and not jump to 1.8.0 right away...
You see, I have a full time job, and it's taking me some of my time. So this means less time to program...
So if I start revamping the whole monsters list and the whole monster system like I want to do, and remake the quest system, and all what I want for 1.8.0... it's going to take a lot of time.
Yet, there are some issues that needs to be adressed. Everyone seems to want a way to save/load game options. There are some abuses(the Soul Gardian one with Simulacrum, and the Staff of Wishing abuse...) that needs to be fixed. There are balance issues with mages who might not be strong enough(or melee characters too powerful). Alchemy and Crafting needs to be improved... Elites/Bosses need to be identified more easily... and well, there are lots of other stuff reported on the board.
So before jumping in 1.8.0 and not releasing any updates for several months, I think I will release 1.7.2 to adress some concerns first. So we will get something really enjoyable, while I really start the new stuff for 1.8.0!
