I've been giving some thought to what stats the crystals should give. There are a few decisions that need to be made. Firstly should crystals give flat stats or should they give percentage increases to the items in to which they socket.
If we go with percentages I imagine we would never see a Void Sword with anything but Fire Crystals (damage) in them and we would rarely see a Rift Gun with anything but Air Crystals in it (accuracy) as increasing the largest stat by a percentage would be the biggest advantage. So right now I'm thinking more along the lines of flat stat increases as they are also easier to balance.
If we go with percentages (or even if we don't for fire crystals) what happens when you put a crystal in an item that doesn't have that stat to increase. A damage crystal can't increase damage done when it is in armor, etc. I guess they just wouldn't be socketable in items that did not have their respective stat to increase.
Given the potential for this update to go badly, I'm not going to proceed with it until I'm happy with the plan in full. Please comment and discuss on the forums. Also congratulations to hincha for getting the first Misc item to level 5, the other item types are still open to be won.

Today a decision has been made on the future of Chat Channels. We have removed Online Chat and banners for now until a later date as to what we're going to do in the future. We may be bringing an IRC chat into use we haven't quite fully thought of the next steps.
This obviously means Chat Moderators are now suspended and we will work to integrate them into other areas.

Hello Legacy! This blog is to address the rising amount of bets happening in "fight club" type agreements. Staff are not for or against these ad we will not stop them. If you partake in these and place bets then you do so with the understanding that staff will not chase your winnings and will not put effort into make the wrongdoings right.
We will however take it as a report and punish any defaulter for scamming, defaulting on a payment after a bet is just the same as conducting trades through the bank. If you lose in a bet and find an excuse to not pay what you initially agreed on the chances of you being banned are 1/1, that's something I would bet on.

Sometimes I wish people who get very loud when they disagree with a change would be equally as loud when they agree with something. If all I hear is the vocal minority who disagree obviously get a distorted impression of what players want.
When players disagree with future changes, you better be equally as vocal if you want them to stay.
Void Sword: + 10 Minimum Damage, +18 Maximum Damage, +5 Melee Skill
Rift Gun: +25 Accuracy, +5 Gun Skill
Prime Amulet: +1 Accuracy, +1 Dodge, +10 All Skills
This makes Ventrix's drops clear upgrades over old Avatar equipment but equal to each other. Apart from the 2nd Amulet which is a clear upgrade over the Prime Amulet.
Crystal Fusion is delayed until next week as I have no idea what percentages to give each crystal yet to keep them in balance with each other. Feel free to play with the simulator and make suggestions.
