		+
		+	Following the successful migration of the MazeWorld community away from IRC and to Discord in November 2016, a temporary hiatus period was enacted, in order to finalize the last few transitional period updates, and ensure the function of the IRC-Discord bridge, which allows the Discord server to use the IRC bots.
		+
		+	On '''April 24th 2017''', the hiatus was ended, the game was declared to have entered Version 4, and a brand new, Google Forms-based sign-up form was created to invite new and old players to sign up.
		+
		+	At this point, the game was considered to be so close enough to complete, that the author thought any further updates to the game itself would be minor, and that the only expected major game updates would be the reintroduction of story and missions in the form of the new Quests.
		+
		+	Unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, these predictions turned incorrect, and many more game-changing updates have been introduced, with more still planned and on the way!
		+
		+	You can see the full details of all changes introduced during v4 on the [[Guide:Changelog\|Changelog]] page.

	The name "MazeWorld" is retained for one of the author's concept games, after reshaping and rethinking a game idea which took multiple forms over the course of nearly three years. As early as 2008, [[Tempest\|the author]] wished to create a realm to be used as the context of a game, but only very rough ideas based on this concept alone were created. The only consistent details were that the realm was to be secluded and dystopian, would house a high amount of creatures and enemies, and would have, in general, a lot of content (lots of items, weapons, etc), and that the player character would be an outsider to this realm forcefully pulled in, with the objective of overcoming the dangers of this world and finding a way out.

Even though the game was always meant to be a single player experience, it was a change in the direction of public, spectated games in which a player would take on his/her challenges while onlookers and spectators could watch and (occasionally and sparingly) comment.	+	On '''February 10th, 2011''', MazeWorld left the conceptual stage of privately held games on MSN and was ported on to IRC, introducing the use of scripts and bots which completely redefined the way the conceptual game was played, to the point that it was truly born on that day.
