The final update to 3.2 was the bug fix release 3.2.3, which was released
simultaneously with 3.3.0 in December 1999 just in time for the Year 2000.
The 3.3 development team, consisting of Michael Allison, Ken Arromdee,
David Cohrs, Jessie Collet, Steve Creps, Kevin Darcy, Timo Hakulinen,
Kevin Hugo, Steve Linhart, Ken Lorber, Dean Luick, Pat Rankin, Eric Smith,
Mike Stephenson, Janet Walz, and Paul Winner, released 3.3.0 in
December 1999 and 3.3.1 in August of 2000.
Version 3.3 offered many firsts. It was the first version to separate race
and profession. The Elf class was removed in preference to an Elf Race,
and the races of Dwarves, Gnomes, and Orcs made their first appearance in
the game alongside the familiar Human race. Monk and Ranger roles joined
Archeologists, Barbarians, Cavemen, Healers, Knights, Priests, Rogues,
Tourists, Valkyries and of course, Wizards. It was also the first version
to allow you to ride a steed, and was the first version to have a publicly
available web-site listing all the bugs that had been discovered. Despite
that constantly growing bug list, 3.3 proved stable enough to last for
more than a year and a half.
