What does this mean?

As far as bumping the minor version to 7, I was wondering when that would happen as I thought that it was overdue. Would be nice to see 0.7.0 as opposed to 0.6.12
Members who are active and helpful in the community will get more recognition for all the help and things they do for us and our wonderful community.

Several more meetings away at least...lots of quest/content things to focus on still.
I've got another idea too. it's an end-game type of situation, after the main quest is over...and maybe a few other conditions met, such as X level...a mysterious message appears on screen "You feel a great rumble, and somewhere the world has broken open." And that "world breaking open" should unleash all new, terrifying, terrible, and powerful monsters throughout all the existing maps. And those are just the monsters that came out. Even more powerful monsters should be inside the crack in the earth, and get more powerful as you descend into the fathomless depths! As a prize these monsters can yield god-like items, if you can survive, and if you are extremely lucky to get these items, because the odds are so difficult.

This mysterious event would be very enticing, and extremely rewarding for people who thought they did everything there was to do in the game, and would add an entirely new and unexpected layer of depth and challenge for the most dedicated, advanced players! Sounds aweslme right?

That's a very interesting idea, sounds like fun!

Another way to expand the game:
The "other dimension" that we can enter from BWM. Right now, we can only enter that throne room, but what if later on there's an exit, to explore the outside world in that dimension? Since they claim to be "above us", it cold be something that activates after we've completed 3-5 Kazul-related quests (so far there's been 2). Or they could recognize the "Dark protector" helmet or the "Dark blessing of the Shadow" (so it won't matter which you chose) and claim us to be worthy to explore their world, and maybe even be a little afraid of us.

By the way, does anyone else think the "end game" might be we have to fight Andor, or he's possessed by Kazul and we have to free him?
Spoilers in case anyone hasn't completed all the quests yet.

I also think this "breaking open of the world" should appear somewhere on Blackwater mountain, and not on a map thats currently available. I think Blackwater mountain should be a source of great mystery, folklore, and beasts that have never been seen before amongst the denizens of the world. It should be a wild place, of great unknown. Perhaps Blackwater Mountain is the foot mountain of a range. Let's call it the Mountains of Shadow maybe? Think of this as a great range so that it acts as the backbone of the world. Maybe we can even discover a never seen before settlement of civilized but strange creatures, who have great weapons armor etc for sale, but should be extravagantly expensive, because their power is great. This can add to the breaking of the world event. Perhaps the great breaking reveals a path that was never traversible before.

Im excited for this idea already! Oskar and others, let's make this happen!

Yes, it was always in my mind that you have to fight Andor who got in touch with
dark magics of the Shadow.

@Tulkas: But I also like your explanation on the end of the game. Maybe you get in front of a god and he decides if you was evil or good...
