Around December 2017, Xol announced that it was very likely that the mod wouldn't update anymore, and also announced that he's been making 2 games of his own.
In April 2018, someone named "Scimiguy" started making their own unofficial updates in an attempt to fix the mod's problems. These "Tslat" versions fixed a bunch of stuff and were liked by the community.
Scimiguy (Scimi for short) tried contacting Xolova at the time but didn't hear anything back.
Around the same time, Scimi created an unofficial discord server for discussion around the mod and the versions he's made for it, as Scimi wanted to port the mod to 1.12 as well.
On May 23rd, one of Xolova's friends joined the server, talked to Scimi about stuff... Then Xolova himself joined the discord server.
They had a private conversation, but basically Xolova has given full permission to Scimi to continue the mod. Giving him the source code and everything.
In terms of the current state of the mod, basically every bug that used to exist in the mod has been fixed, and the Shyrelands is officially released.
Now, Scimi's current plan is to update the mod for 1.12, and after that, begin adding new content to the mod.
The now official discord channel is linked in the wiki by the way.
I'm freaking out right now, this was my favorite group/project on the internet for a while.
I'm gonna join this discord server ofc, also, the Shyrelands is officially released??? That's dope omg.
I've always found it odd that the Realmstone could be obtained long before Labricon itself could be accessed. It's like making grilled cheese, but you grill the cheese before getting into the bread.
Well,I am just worried Xolova wouldn't want me saying this,because its been a year since Xolova ever released any information about AoA,so I don't know if this top secret information should be spoiled.
I am going to release some valuable information,and I want to know if everyone wants this information,and if Xolova sees this,it is about some of the secrets never revealed in the shyrelands group beta,along with some other tidbits.
As it turns out, Xolova's still been heavily delayed due to having a life. This is why I've sometimes hoped that he'd one day get a development team to help him (not to make it sound bad that he doesn't have one).
Nevertheless, it's good to still hear from him after so long.

The fact that people still care about this, amazes me and fills me with joy.

Stealing is a cool thing on servers, we can still have alliances and such, but having total destruction occasionally.

Dang,now I need to use that analogy too now.

Pluton actually makes sense about who ruled vox ponds,pluton often owns the dimensions with more signs of civilizations.

Why though?

Nope,all true,but Yoshi might be right about everlands being a possible ruling god glitch again.
Also yes,there is a secret dimension.
I know a lot of its known (except the secret dimension) but I also knew some people didn't know some of the more obvious stuff.
I didn't take any offense

Okay then,here it goes.... (also some other information about some misconceptions)
1: Everlands is ruled by Krasaun,not selyan/luxon.
2:Krasaun speaks to you when you enter the Everlands.
3:There was a secret teased dimension (the comment was deleted by xolova in the skype chat) and sadly I forgot the name.
4:the Shyrelands is pretty much finished except the realmstone drops and the craexxus boss fight (tp void glitch)
Some of this information is known,but the secret dimension was not only forgotten by most,but the information was never released to the public.
