Legacy and Legacy Dev will both be going down today at 6am (Server Time/EST) 11am (GMT) for maintenance. I'll be updating various core processes that run on the webserver, cleaning up various tables and logs that have grown quite large in size and reworking the nightly backup process.

The will likely last between 3 and 4 hours but could end up running slightly longer. Get in Online Chat ahead of time if you don't want to be a Guest later. The server will stop responding for some time during this downtime.

The first system review is of the login process and the main page, you can find a thread in the suggestions forum asking for your feedback on what should be changed. It will be rebuilt from scratch in a week or two so get your feedback in now.

If you guys want more stuff on the main page than is possible I may add some options to customize the page. Eitherway I will still need to decide what the default setup should be so please go post!

Just posting to show the work in progress for the new outer site image, long way to go yet. Drawing this one at high resolution so takes a bit longer but should come out with much cleaner outlines when shrunk down to fit.

Anyway, below is what I have so far. Still need to shade his cloak and finish his arm and hand but they're both tricky to do. Let me know what you think.

So yeah, in response to the comments on the previous blog I'm working on some new high resolution artwork for the game. Starting with the guy standing in front of the hive on the index page.

I'm in the process of redrawing him in a new set of items, with white hair and glancing backwards over his shoulder with glowing avatar eyes. That will likely be finished in the next week or so so watch out for that.
