If anyone finds this and wants the answers, Vildravn (the one and the only, u/_valravn) answered the question in the Isleward discord (which you should totally join):
As to the post... there's a roadmap :) https://trello.com/b/SCbg8ufY/iwd-roadmap most of the things are planned
Player Housing (planned to be implemented at some point) is probably going to include a building element
Mounts are planned as happening "soon"
The customization as described in the post is likely not going to happen due to the art style of the game
Pets I believe were talked about at some point and the code for it is mostly there already (Summon Skeleton rune and I believe there's also an item that summons bunnies)
Keep in mind that the roadmap is not really binding and stuff may move around or be not super up to date
Hey! Welcome back! The game is still alive and there’s almost always people online. There’s updates every month or so. There’s a pretty active discord still: https://discord.com/invite/0w9fgEmdtEpUESHK
This is from Discord (discord.isleward.com): > To have your password changed navigate to https://www.browserling.com/tools/bcrypt and generate a new password hash. > Then, PM me the new hashed password along with your username (the one you log in with) and I'll change your password ASAP. > In the near future, we'll have an in-game 'reset password' function available for this purpose.
