Happy anniversary! Gift boxes are now available on the Main Page. They have some items in them, some of them do things. We'll be doing Double XP next week-end, May 13 - 14th.

Aldo said I need to thank him publicly for all the work he's been doing. Dunno what? I think he added an item or something. Woooo, anniversary!

As some of you may or may not have noticed, the option to move your HQ has been disabled as it was intended to be in the beginning. This is thanks to a certain building abuse being taken advantage of so it was literally impossible for anyone to even get to it. You can still place a building in the spot in question, but since you can't use your HQ as a wall it can be attacked by another gang.

Just a word a two about an upcoming update to forums.

In this week (hopefully!) we will roll out a, thread rating system, to the forums.
This means that in the forums which have it enabled you'll be able to rate a thread either potive or negative.
Similar to how we currently have a rating system for updates.

However some limitations do apply.
For instance you will not be able to rate a thread negative, before a post in the given thread is made.
Spam-posting just for the sake of voting negative, should in all likelyhood end up in your post(s) being removed by staff, thus negating the vote.
This limitation is in place to minimize the amount of hatred this function could encourage.

Additionally, a thread owner will not be able to rate their own thread.
The point being that, in 9/10 cases the thread owner would always vote positive.
While the accounts whom have rated a thread is sorted chronologically, being able to vote your own thread wouldn't make sense.

Archived & locked threads can of course not be rated.

Ratings will not display for stickied threads, mostly due to the DtD thread. I know, i know.. hate me all you want for this

As a starter this will only be enabled for the "Suggestions" forum, however if this becomes a much liked feature we're able to roll it out to others as well, with the click of a button.

The update is already available for preview on dev.
Any bugs found must be reported to me immediately please

Any opinions, comments, ideas are welcome in PM or in the comments below

Been a while since I've done one of these, but there are a few things I wish to cover and make clear.

First off, the Guide applications have not been forgotten about. Wolf is still dealing with a few real world things and Neltharion wants to go over everything with him before going any further. So if you wanted to apply but forgot, you still have a chance.

Next, though Aldo is currently inactive, if you happen to come across an issue with the Wasteland map, be sure to message him about it. If his inbox is full, then you can message me or another VH member and we will relay it to him as soon as we are able to.

The Wiki is still in need of updates and new pages added. This is slowly coming together as to what is needed. If you see something you feel comfortable with editing yourself, feel free to do so. Myself or one of the SysOps will check it out when we get the chance.

I also feel I need to point this out once again. If there is something that happens that you feel should be looked at, i.e. bug abuse, player abuse, player harassment, spamming the forums, whatever, then please use the ticket system to report it. This not only informs us that something happened, but lets us keep the ticket as a record of it happening so we can reference it down the road if needed. It's incredibly frustrating to hear about "all the abuse that goes on around Legacy" and yet never hear about it. Like I said when I hired the rest of my team: even with all of us, we cannot be around 24/7 to catch everything as it happens. And I do not expect any of them to go through hours upon days of logs to try and find each and every tiny little discrepency that goes on.

Also, a general reminder, if you feel for whatever reason a VH is out of line with their action, then message me with what happened and I will look into it once I am able to.

And don't forget about Aldo's WL discussion thread in the Main Forum to give your input on how you feel about the current map
