Wheel of Time News
(Full Summary of this month’s news available at: http://www.dragonmount.com/News)
A lot of you have written in asking when the interview with Forsaken, Inc will be posted. Well, the producers of the possible Wheel of Time TV series have not yet replied with their answers, but they assure us that it is not because they’re ignoring us. More people are involved now, so it takes a while for approvals to go through. So as soon as we receive those answers, we’ll post the interview online.
Robert Jordan is currently in Budapest, signing books, doing interviews and also taking a (very brief) vacation. We have one report already from there, and will probably have more as the events unfold. Our contact over there hopes to send us some audio, possibly some video, and even some poetry written by Robert Jordan’s wife, Harriet. To see the info we have so far, read our news article on this tour:

As mentioned in the news above, Robert Jordan is on vacation. When he gets back to the states, we hope to have a few new things waiting for him in the mail, including screenshots of the finished hallway, an updated animatic, some music samples, and renderings of the main characters. Hmmm…all of these things might look good in a movie trailer, huh? Stay tuned…we are working on this movie EVERY DAY!

Featured Site of the Month
Each month Dragonmount will feature a cool WHEEL OF TIME website. It doesn’t have to be a big site, or one with a lot of visitors. All we’re looking for are WoT sites that have a unique or interesting offering. To apply to have your site (or a site you know of) featured, email us at: webmaster@dragonmount.com
Featured Site of the Month:
A Moment in Tyme
( http://tyme.envy.com )
A Moment in Tyme is a popular Wheel of time MUD (multi-user dungeon). Years before people logged on to play EverQuest, they were travelling in text-based worlds like this one. As one of the oldest WoT MUD’s out there, MiT continues to attract new players and proves that you don’t need flashy graphics to become lost in an amazing world.
